THE best bar in the st-jean area. Weather you are from the states or the area, it is THE place for either drinks or good beer as long as you prioritize atmosphere. Justine and Clémence are the best team. If you can catch them together, you are in luck. It is the nights where I'll stay the longest Y'a aucun Karaoke qui peut battre la trinquette.

Excellent terrace, fireplaces and many seating options, close to the old part of town and the water. Excellent spot for a beer with friends.

It's a nice spot. The waitresses are overworked! You have to be ready to compete for their attention especially if you come in alone. They stretched their kitchen/bistro hours for me. That's a nice touch. I do recommend, especially if you like old school rock.

Friendly helpful staff, beer was $8.75 for large draft, food is only snack and microwave stuff. Pool table pushed into corner so can't use it.

One of the nicest patio on the South Shore of Montreal! Flowers, bonfires, Ping Pong tables, good drinks, good vibes, just anything you need to enjoy a beautiful summer night outside. The inside is also very cosy and some board games are available.

Fun and inexpensive. You can also play ping pong for a small deposit that they give back when you're done. I love to hangout there and the backyard is quite nice.

Unfortunately there is no longer a kitchen but what remains is the relaxed and unique atmosphere of the courtyard/terrace with ping pong tables, outdoor fireplace, Adirondack chairs, from where you can clearly hear the singer (on evenings when he there is one).. really superb place! Very nice!

The singer of Saint-Jean 2022 tuned his instruments on stage for at least 1 hour... Really unpleasant to hear a dude make 2-3 chords of the shot, say one-two-one-two 25 times and I DONT DONT TALK ABOUT HIS DRUM SCREAM!!! The beer is good, but its from Lagabière the atmosphere is nice on the terrace with the little fireplaces and the lights
