2, STE-CATHERINE EAST
WELCOME!
To discover Montral is an extraordinary experience. This city,
with its many faces, has universal appeal. As beautiful by day
as by night, Montral stands apart with its rich past and vibrant
present as a modern metropolis.
Montral, always in tune with the four seasons, accommodates
itself to both snow and sun. But whatever the temperature, the
streets overflow with the warmth of its people.
This is a welcoming city where Europe and North America, blended
together for so long, give rise to an all-encompassing diversity,
expressed in culture and fine cuisine, in the community and
neighbourhoods, downtown as well as in business centres. Of
course, this diversity is best expressed by Montralers themselves.
Welcome to Montral!
Denis Coderre
Mayor of Montral
A veritable hotbed of creativity and culture, Montral offers a

delectable cocktail of European chic, daring innovation and urban
sparkle. Montral is where high-tech goes hand in hand with haute
cuisine, where skyscrapers rub shoulders with stylish little boutiques
and where international festivals run alongside a multitude of
emerging independent events. But above all, it is the 3.7million
Montrealers, their inherent joie de vivre, legendary hospitality and
attachment to their city that really give Montral its full flavour.
Welcome to Montral!

President and Chief Executive Officer, Tourisme Montral

NIGHTLIFE
TO EXPERIENCE MONTRAL BY NIGHT IS TO TRULY GET TO

HANDLE ON THE CITY AND FEEL ITS CONTAGIOUSLY
PERVASIVE JOIE DE VIVRE! THE NIGHT IS YOURS: WILL IT
BEGIN WITH A FEW DRINKS AT HAPPY HOUR? THEN A
CONCERT? SUPPER AT 11P.M.? ON THE DANCE FLOOR UNTIL
THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING? THE CHOICE IS YOURS
AND WHAT A CHOICE YOU HAVE!
5 7 Happy Hour
Once the computer shuts down
at the end-of-day Thursday, its
Montrals unofficial kick-off to
the weekend: the ball gets
rolling with happy hour (5 7)
in bars, pubs, microbreweries
and patios across the island.
OFF TO THE CASINO!
Malek Racho / EDMM
A FEW UNIQUE
SUGGESTIONS
T ry a beer with an
unusually crazy name,
created and brewed in
a local microbrewery.
S pend an evening on an
outdoor patio, hidden
from view in a quaint
backstreet or high
above on a rooftop.
D
ance the night away
(literally) in an all-night
techno bar (unlicensed).
Attend a show, either
in a performance venue
or in a bar.
14
Housed in one of Montrals

most spectacular buildings,
the Casino de Montral has
it all to dazzle you with its
exhilarating game and
entertainment experience.

MONTRAL
NIGHTLIFE BY
NEIGHBOURHOOD
Its all well and good to
want to go out, but where?
Montral neighbourhoods
have a personality all their
own especially when
the sun goes down. Find
more information about
the nightlife by neighbourhood in our Address
Book: Nigthlife (p.125).
DINE AND DANCE

IN THE SAME PLACE
Supper clubs are a one-stop
shop for evening entertainment.
Start with a cocktail, then its off
to dine in a musical atmosphere.
Once the after-dinner liqueurs
have been cleared, the tables
disappear as if by magic to make
room for a dance floor.

DOWNTOWN
Montrals downtown scene is a bustling study in contrasts.
Witness the Victorian brownstones that nuzzle skyscrapers,
while the latest architectural marvels soar beside stately
neo-Gothic churches. The stores, museums, galleries,
restaurants and green spaces present a moving canvas
peopled with the 9-5crowd, students, locals and tourists.
When night falls, the hectic pace surrenders to a more
relaxed ambiance, as friends congregate for after-work
cocktails on terraces, in bars, or at the citys many
festivals that fill the air with their resounding notes.

The Underground City refers to the vast
network of pedestrian walkways below
the city. There are 32kilometres (20miles)
of connecting passageways beneath
downtown, with the mtro (subway),
commuter trains and buses also converging
here. Approximately 500,000people
circulate daily on this network, where some
2,000shops and restaurants, 10major
hotels, museums, theaters and universities
can be found. The concept began in
1962with the lower level shopping mall
in Place Ville Marie. With the coming of
Expo67, Montrals dream of a mtro finally
became reality. The underground went
through many stages of development.

Montrals historical buildings shine in all

their splendour when night falls on the city.

The Three Courthouses

Champ-de-Mars
old.montreal.qc.ca
Inaugurated in 1856, the old courthouse

subscribed to the very sober neo-classic tradition
typical of the first half of the 19thcentury. The
1925 version (Ernest-Cormier building) featured
a return to classic simplicity with an imposing
colonnade. From 1925until the 1970s, the
old courthouse handled civil issues while
the new one dealt with criminal matters.

The building went up between 1872and 1878, and

survived a severe fire in 1922. And it was from this
balcony that French President General de Gaulle
uttered his famous Vive le Qubec libre! (Long
live free Qubec) during a state visit in 1967. Take
a moment to admire the Hall of Honour or, better
yet, sign up for a guided tour. Behind the City Hall,
two lines of stone runs across the surface. This is
one of the few spots in present-day Montral where
you can still see physical evidence of the fortified
town of yesteryear. Open: Monday to Friday,

many painted by famous artists. The Kondiaronk
scenic lookout in front of the chalet offers a

the summit of Mount Royal if the young colony
survived flooding. Today, the cross stands

Tourisme Montral
SHOPPING
SPAS
Cracking the top50 on the list of world fashion capitals
according to the Global Language Monitor, Montral is a city
full of flair, style and innate fashion sense. Qubecs top
fashion designers are recognized for trend-setting looks and
haute couture inspirations. Rather than follow the trends,
Montrealers push the fashion boundaries, mixing styles and
creating new looks of their own. Montrealers love shopping.
Who wouldnt in a city whose small interesting streets are
filled with funky boutiques and whose main thoroughfares
host all the popular names in retail? Montral has a huge
and eclectic concentration of stores. There are great
buys for every taste, budget and need.

WHERE TO
GO OUT?
For more nightlife hot spots...

Find more bars, lounges
and terraces by looking for
the symbol on the list of
restaurants (p. 109top.124)
Downtown
With its bars, clubs,
restaurants and discotheques,
Crescent Street is witness
to round-the-clock action.
Meanwhile, at the heart of
the Quartier latin, colourful
crowds gather in the busy
micro-breweries and bars.
Old Montral
Chansonniers belt out folk
tunes from bars along
Saint-Paul Street while
seductive lounges beckon from
boutique hotels-part of a night
fabric leaves no room for ennui.
Plateau Mont-Royal
and Mile End
Plateau/Mile End is ideal for
a dose of trendy bohemian
sizzle. With its mega
concentration of bars and
clubs this is the preferred
playing field for Montrals
in crowd. There are the
colourful terraces and a
unique selection of watering
holes where locals and
visitors alike are well served.
The Village
The LGBT-friendly Village hums
all year long, but especially in
the summer when SainteCatherine Street closes to
traffic and opens to outdoor
patios. Lounges, bars, botes,
afterhours clubs, and drag
show are all part of the Village
entertainment scene.
Griffintown
Griffintown is the up-and-comer
on the Montral nightlife
scene, with a predominantly
hipster feel.
