Le Sacrilege (Nightlife - Live Music) 447, rue St-Jean, Québec  QC  G1R 1P3 • 418-649-1985 Distance: ~1.344 km User Rating: 10 / 10         Description: SAINT-JEAN BAPTISTE. Despite the rather odd name – it's across from a small church – this is one of those off-beat places that make Québec so special. Indeed, this Haute-Ville watering hole boasts what may be "the best terrace in town" (a shameless but valid bit of self-promotion, to be sure). Though the inside is little more than your average Québec bar, this Rue Saint-Jean favorite draws high marks for its bartenders and regulars, who eagerly engage unfamiliar faces in friendly conversation. Indeed, if there is such a place as home-away-from-home, cozy Sacrilege Terrasse is a haven for many. Copyright ©2001 10Best Inc. All rights reserved.
