Montreal holiday apartment: Downtown

The area surrounding the apartment

One popular area for bars and nightlife is Rue St. Laurent , which is especially filled with dance clubs and upscale bars. The Rue Crescent area also tends to be very active and popular at night.

Many visitors end up on Rue Ste-Catherine , the infamous bar and nightlife district that never seems to sleep and which boasts more than a few seedy characters and its share of adult-oriented entertainment places. One fun bar near St. Catherine's is an Irish pub called Hurley's , while Churchill's and Electric Ave . are also popular spots for dancing. Also try St-Elizabeth's on the corner of Rue Ste-Elisabeth and Rue Ste-Catherine. it's a little hard to find but it's a local favorite, especially for university students.

On St-Denis, right above Rue Ste-Catherine, you'll find a plethora of bars with great outdoor terrasses (patios). St-Sulpice and St-Ciboire (infamous for its apple beer) have two of the largest terrasses in the area and fill up quickly on the weekends. In the same vicinity, you'll also find a great jazz bar called Beebop on the corner of St-Denis and Ontario. All are great choices if you just want to sit and people watch, or if you feel like getting drunk enough to puke on the sidewalk.
