The vibe has been called "electric" but it's not a high-energy club by any means – people come here to relax. Absinthe and beer are the quaffs of choice, and live jazz is on the schedule a few nights a week. Word of warning: the rather infamous ostrich heads may take some getting used to! Mile End Bar (Nightlife - Lounge) 5322, boul St-Laurent, Montréal  QC • 514-279-0200 Distance: ~3.505 km         Description: A trendy multi-level lounge that frequently sees line-ups, Mile End is something of an anomaly. Part of the appeal is its ridiculously stylish interior design. That sort of thing frequently attracts the upper echelon of the club-going population, but there's a distinct lack of pretension here, so those of us in the less-than-fabulous demographic can also appreciate it. Lounge-y and cool – overall a fine place to spend an evening chilling out and sipping cocktails. Copyright ©2001 10Best Inc. All rights reserved.
