French Chicks and Facades

Good times in Montreal. Checked out a couple of new joints, most notably Le Belmont Sur Le Boulevard which was pretty sweet and has a nice open façade to scope the ladies on the main.

Some other pleasant discoveries;

1. L’ile Noire offers $5 pints of local microbrews for happy hour
2. Much like the Bronx bar in Detroit, The legendary Verres Stérilisés Tavern isn’t anywhere near as shitty as I’d imagined. It looks a bit foreboding from the street, but inside it’s actually reasonably clean and friendly. Cheap quarts of Coors, Bud and 50.
3. A (unjustifiably) deserted neighbourhood place called Bar Oliveira on Rachel that features$3 bottles and a pretty decent juke box.
4. I’ve never actually been to The Dominion (though I’ve endorsed it below). Turns out I was confusing it with McLeans Pub, which rules and features all of the sweet sweetness of being in business (in one form or another) for about a hundred years.
