Amazing!! The food was excellent!! I suggest the sangria. The atmosphere could be romantic to a few friends getting together. read more

Le Saint-Sulpice - Red-Sangria and Paella. - Bars Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

So let me set the scene. Mid-August, on holiday in Montreal. We two American tourists are walking randomly along, just taking our time, drinking in the sights, smells, and sounds of the Latin Quarter in Montreal. It's a warm afternoon, but not overly so. Our first anniversary, and we're having a corker of a time, just being together in a foreign city, enjoying what life has to offer. Then I spot...IT...over a garden fence, and I stop dead in my tracks. "The HELL is that?" Two enormous...people...who appear to be crafted from papier-maiche, gazing lovingly at one another. "Oh, I've GOT to see what this is all about." My wife shrugs and follows, knowing as she does that once I have some damn fool errand in my head, it's madness to try to dissuade me. I approach to get a better look, and see that these two towering statues, like the Colossus of Rhodes, are no mere artist's renderings, but rather guardians which bear witness to a marvelous land: Saint-Sulpice. Saint-Sulpice: a vast, bacchanalian beer garden tucked inauspiciously into a side street, which, for someone from a puritanical city where such a thing would be looked on with horror and disgust by the city fathers, is a kind of promised land. We take a table, and order a few frosty brews, relax, and play a game or two of rummy. The servers are as relaxed as we are, but attentive, and fill our glasses when we ask, and vanish into the afternoon when they are not needed. Perhaps the highlight for me was the Jersey-Shore-esque bachelorette party which traipsed through, or perhaps it was just the relaxation of a huge outdoor patio surrounded by beautiful trees through which the sun shone while we enjoyed a lazy afternoon of gin rummy and good Canadian beer. Had it been a very hot day, however, the archway which constantly emitted a superfine mist of cool water, through which a heated patron could find relief, surely that would have been the oasis I treasured the most. Just knowing that some thoughtful publican had thought to install such a feature for his guests made me smile. I love you Montreal, and Saint-Sulpice is one of the reasons why. read more

See all

Dear lord the patio at this place in the summer time is ridiculously awesome. It's a very large outdoor area in back of this bar. You want to stick with beer here as the drinks are more watered down than their beer. It's got a really good vibe in the summer and you can just hang out and chill. The staff aren't the most attentive but what do you expect when you're in a football field sized patio? Ok maybe it's not that big but still you get the picture. The bar normally sucks in the winter but in the summer I don't think there's many places I like sitting around in the afternoon with a cold beer in hand in MTL. read more

We really enjoyed this bright, HUGE patio. It's laid out in a way that it downs feel like you're just a sheep in a cage. Service was so friendly and attentive (and overwhelmingly male, interesting observation). You order food from regular guys and booze from the servers wearing a red shirt. Otherwise you order booze at the bar. Yet another place that is cash-only in Montreal. Super annoying. We ordered poutine (which was great!) and a pitcher of sangria tinta (also delicious). The nachos we saw rolling by our table looked amazing. read more

Le Saint-Sulpice - Bars Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Overpriced 1-2 waiter only for the big terrasse a Friday night...ridiculous , thus it takes forever to get anything Food is disgusting. Frozen stuff. It's very bad I really do not recommend It's unfortunate because their terrasse is pretty big and nice for summer evenings. read more

The terrasse is very big and comfortable to enjoy the summer evening. The absence of music outside is unfortunate. At 7$ a pint the tap beer gets a little pricey and the st-sulpice nachos we share were quite ordinary. Discovering crumbled chips at the bottom of our plate was quite disapointing. read more

Le Saint-Sulpice - Bars Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

This is easily the largest outdoor beer garden in downtown Montreal. Their back patio in the summer time is crucial and usually filled with good folks enjoying cheap pitchers among archways, stone fountains and ivy covered walls. The inside area is just as vast with four floors of pure awesomeness and balconies on each level. Different music marks each level and the outside stairwell is not for those scared of heights. When I was in University at McGill, St. Sulpice was always an obvious destination yet it manages to attract such a diverse crowd that it doesn't feel fratastic and douchey. It's basically every great bar you've known, thrown together to make a single awesome venue. If you visit Montreal, this should be on your list. If you live in Montreal, well then I'm just jealous. read more

This place is huge and has the most amazing patio. Unfortunately, we had dinner reservations and couldn't spend much time here. Stupid us sat at the main bar inside, but we kept seeing people going through the bar and out through a back door. It wasn't until we were ready to leave that we decided to have a lookie-loo and see where everyone was going. What we found was the most amazing garden patio. Think New Orleans garden patio, but 10 times bigger, with bars and trees and tables and benches. I wish we could have spent more time here, but we had to run. I've bookmarked it though, and I will be back. read more

- Food arrived cold - Waiter forgot to order plates from the kitchen - Nachos were burnt and nasty - No mayonnaise in the kitchen (???) - Prices were WAY too high considering the food's quality - Waiter refused to take food back NEVER GOING BACK. There are MUCH better pubs to get a good beer n burger. read more

This place is HUGE and putting it in caps doesn't even do it justice. This place has a room for everyone, as long as you can dodge the waiters with jugs and the sea people.There's like 10 floors a couple patios, dancing rooms, lounging rooms and a ton of drunken people all around. If the front door gets backed up try the back but unfortunately I can't tell you how to get there. read more

Thank you, Le Saint-Sulpice- especially our cute, friendly waiter for introducing me to poutine- for showing us what a great Montreal time is all about on a Saturday night! As mentioned in other reviews, the outdoor terrace is huge, huge, h-u-g-e, crammed with hundreds of other Saturday night revelers, and l-o-u-d. It feels like one ginormous party with people flowing in and out of the terrace, between the tables and seats hoping to grab one, and up and down the stairs to its many floors. Now about the food and service: There are separate servers for food and drinks. The servers in red are for drinks, and the ones in blue are for food. You place your order, they come back with it, you pay/tip on the spot, then enjoy what you ordered. Is this a Montreal thing? Whatever it is, I think it's a great system: get the bill/tax/tip crap out of the way with the group you're with then enjoy your drinks/meal. Our drink server was all right, but our food server was incredibly friendly (and very handsome, but unfortunately that can't be a factor in my yelp review) who recommended we tried poutine when we asked him for a unique Montreal dish, and gave us other restaurant recommendations-even going out of his way to look for them and mark them on our maps. Thanks! :) The poutine (french fries, cheese curds that go squeak-squeak when you chew them, according to waiter cutie, and gravy) was pretty good, with a heavy dose of gravy that transported me back to memories of Thanksgiving, although when I tried it somewhere else known for their awesome poutine, the gravy wasn't so Thanksgiving-ish. Our group liked this place so much, two of us went back the next night around midnight and ordered a pitcher of sangria, kicking back near the fountain. Since it was a Sunday night, the atmosphere was slightly less rambunctious but lively nevertheless (but no waiter cutie in sight... oh well). read more

This place was nice when I was 18, now maybe not so much. On their plus side, the outside terrace is humongous, and so is the bar itself. The beer is cheap, and it is well located. I also found that some of the top floors are more convivial. However, the beer is not that good (your basic watered-down cheap product) and the service is beyond horrible. every. time. The bouncers are often arrogant. The crowd is also very young (see first line in my post) - with all that brings. read more

Le Saint-Sulpice is an open environment - everything from the indoor atmosphere to the basement karaoke to the giant outdoor beer garden. Every time I think about Le Saint-Sulpice, I'm overwhelmed with the awesome memories I've had here. Le Saint-Sulpice is arguably the biggest bar/club I've been to. It has 4 floors plus a basement and beer garden out back. There's karaoke in the basement on some nights and a dance floor at the very top floor. The rest is mostly chill indoor space, although they do have mini-patios on many of those floors. It's crazy, this place has everything. The drinks were cheap, the people were fun, and the nights always crazy. read more

Pros: Massive space, near theatres, easy to access Cons: Pretty lame service, worst (and most expensive) sangria I've ever had, cash only and upfront Saint-Sulpice has been recommended to me many times over, so having recently moved to the neighbourhood and looking for some time to kill before a concert at the jazz fest we went to have a few beers. The terrasse in the back is very nice. But this is pretty much the only good thing I can think about for this place. We went at a strange hour, something like early afternoon, so it was almost completely empty at the time. Our sever WASN'T inattentive (although given the size of the place I could see how service would be spotty when it gets busier), but the server was hard to get details of anything from. We had no menus and obviously couldn't see what beers were on tap yet she also wouldn't tell us what beers they had, except Labatt's. We ended up getting a pitcher of sangria, around $30 for a single pitcher. Given it was prime festival season that wasn't entirely unexpected. What was surprising was when the pitcher came it was literally just orange juice and unidentifiable red wine. The only "fruit" were the two saddest little quarters of lemon on the edge of the pitcher. Extremely disappointing. Our other surprise was when the server asked us to pay in cash as soon as the pitcher was brought around. With only two or three other tables in the back at the time it seemed insensible. I see from other reviews that no one else has been asked to pay in cash only, nor upfront it seems. I don't know why she made us do that but it was lame. Overall, terrible experience. Not even the draw of their beautiful terrasse could bring me back. read more

Its all about the Terrace, its huge , a great place to chill out and get away from the hussle and bussle of the city and relax. Dropped in here a few times for a large Pitcher of beers or two, definately worth a visit when your in Montreal read more

Le Saint-Sulpice - Bars Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

My friends and I visited this bar on a Saturday night while visiting Montreal for the jazz festival. This bar was the best one I visited during my stay. The bar is huge with tons of different sections of the bar to hang out at. There is a ton of outdoor seating if you'd like to hang out and not have the music drown out the conversation you're trying to have. But if you'd also like to be in a room where you can dance and listen to music, they have a section of the upstairs dedicated to that. The drinks are fairly priced and the staff is attentive and helpful. If you choose to sit outside, they have waiters that can come to take your drink order and they are always there when you need another. I wish there was a bar like this in the Hoboken/NYC area! read more

Then we went to St-Sulpice which is basically the equivalent to the Library in Orlando or any other shithole bar where underage kids can drink. I should have known when we walked in and they were asking for IDs (the drinking age in Montreal is 18). They should really invest in a garbage can in the bathroom as evidenced by the one of many piles of paper towels in the picture below. I will give credit to St-Sulpice for their awesome terrace with a great view of St. Denis. However, it doesn't make up for the out of place goth music and the obnoxious patrons. read more

We loved our stay at the Le Saint Sulpice! I stayed here with my two tween sons and we all just loved it here. Upon arrival, our room was upgraded, which was a pleasant surprise. We were tired from a long drive that day and chose to dine in the hotel. We had a perfect little dinner- one of my sons even decided to try the steak tartar and loved it! The location was also fabulous- we were right on a cobblestone street less than a block from the Notre-Dame Basilica in one direction and less than a block from shopping and restaurants in the other direction. We had the valet park our car upon arrival and didn't get back into it until we left Montreal! read more

This bar is massive! There are multiple levels and areas to post up and enjoy a beverage or two. My hubs and I had our summer holiday in Montreal this year, before departing we spoke to friends and acquanintances in search of the places that rated highest for them, touristy places and non. Le Saint-Sulpice came up time after time. We actually rented a place right up the street from here so we walked down there to check it out. We were on holiday during the week of rush I think, I say this due to the fact that there were hordes of matched t-shirted youngens running about singing and having an overall jovial time. As we walked down Rue Saint-Denis we could hear and see many of these groups getting amped up. When we arrived at Saint-Sulpice I was surprised there wasn't a long line to get in nor a cover, on what would be one of the best nights to rake in the money from a door charge. I forgot I wasn't in LA anymore! We made our way to the second level and reviewed the massive drink list, which contained a lot of shots. If my memory was better I would totally try to describe it, but getting old sucks. We grabbed a shot and a beer and headed to the garden patio in the rear. We posted up at a table next to a fountain, it is such tranquill space to share a drink or two. This bar is massive, as I said before, it has many rooms that are equally as beautiful to hangout in for a time. If I lived in Montreal I would probably stop in for a drink weekly, during the summer months of course. Not so sure how comfortable this bar would be in the winter months. I look forward to making a return visit and next time I will try to remember more helpful details. read more

I was on St. Denis on a Friday night and I went to Le Saint-Bock & Patrick's Pub and both had a line up to get in. So I decided to go to Le Saint-Sulpice. When I arrived I was met by a nice doorman and a waitress who was working the terrace, she offered that I stay out to have some drinks, for me it was a little cold and decided to go to the downstairs bar for a drink. I go inside have a seat and the barmaid asks what I want and runs through a beer menu and I told her I was not a beer drinker, and she offers a Amaretto Sour, I agreed. When she comes back with the drink I had a weird look on my face as it did not look like and amaretto sour. It looked like a kamikaze. She asks me if there is a problem and I said yes and proceeded to tell her that the drink is not an amaretto sour and she said yes, with an attitude, it is and tells me that it's a student bar and not to expect much. A few minutes later a young lady comes too the bar and asks for the same drink, when she gets it she tells the barmaid "Isn't it suppose to have sugar on the rim?" at that point I lift my head with a smirk smile on my face and look at the barmaid, all the barmaid does is says it's $3.00 and walks away. At that point I finished my crappy drink because I think she forgot to put the Amaretto in the drink, it just tasted of lime juice. Upon leaving the doorman asks if everything was alright, and I explained him the story, he said he was going to talk to the barmaid, but I don;t believe that. I won't go back, as mention at the beginning next time I will go to the bars mentioned in the beginning of the review and wait in line, there they know how to make a amaretto sour. read more

Ok. Drinks: CRAP. Boreale for alot of money. The worst deal on hard liquor anywhere this side of saudi arabia. You will pay way more than you should. Scene: largely francophone, very young, athletic types. Vibe: great. It reminds me of a beach This is a HUGE terrace that is very lively and bright. I recommend checking it out at least once in the terrace season. I like it but its not a good bar. I wouldn't touch the place with a spoon during the winter. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon/evening during jazz fest. Not too crowded along front patio during the day; backyard beer garden filled up as the night wore on. Hamburger ($4.25) and chicken caesar wrap ($5.50) were ok, if nothing special. Liked the homemade mayo that came with the fries ($3.75). Service was uneven; probably quicker to go up to the bar to get served. And the separate order takers for drinks and food was weird and confusing. The star here is the huge backyard beer garden--you have no idea how big it is back there when you're out front. Good place to chill with a group of friends on a nice summer nite. read more

My wife and I spent the night at the Hotel last month. The staff was incredibly helpful and kind. My car had a flat tire and the valet as well as the maintenance engineer helped to change it. The concierge helped us find a place that would change the tire out quickly the next day. In between that time interval, the concierge helped us find a really cool place to eat, showed us places to go in Montreal that were off the beaten path, and showed us nothing but kindness. If that was all the hotel offered, I'd return for those reasons alone. The rooms were beautiful and functioned like a high end efficiency rather than a luxury hotel suite. I mean that as a compliment. Everything about the hotel was great: our breakfast was delicious, the wait staff was incredibly friendly and responsive, the concierge, the desk attendants, the management team, the valet team, and the maintenance department were the best I've ever seen. I absolutely loved this Hotel and wish I could give it 10 stars out of 5. I would stay here again and again. Thank-you to everyone there. Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings from Vermont and hope to see you again soon. read more

Holy cow, the beer garden in this place is huge. I couldn't find the people I was looking for, so I guess that was a bad thing in my case. Looks like it could be a fun time, but it wasn't for me! read more

I was visiting Montreal from Toronto for 5 nights and Yelp led us to Le Saint-Sulpice on a Friday night after an excellent dinner. At first my friend and I sat inside because the place seemed rammed and we saw a 2-person table open up. My initial reaction was of a very young crowd (i.e. fresh undergrad students) and a bit of a grungy, alternative vibe. After having out first beer we decided to venture onto the interior courtyard patio that people raved about on Yelp. They are ALL RIGHT. What a spot. The courtyard is huge and has plenty of space for groups of 2 to 15 (seated) or even more if you stand. The walls must be about 8 stories high on 3 sides and a little shorter on the other, with ivy crawling up all 8 stories. The crowd is lively, the servers are attentive, the beer is affordable, and the setting is wonderful. If you're in university or if you want to re-live some moments from your foggy youth, this is a great spot to do it. read more

This place was pretty cool. It consists of 4 floors, 2 of which have a dance floor (basement and 4th floor). Each floor has a bar, the 3rd floor has a library... it's kinda weird.. I guess if you come in the day time you could bring your books to study, unless you can party and study at the same time lol. I didn't order any drinks, but my friends got a pitcher of beer for a decent price. Another friend have gotten a mixed drink and the bartender got mad at her because tips are expected and if you don't give them enough they get pissed off. The dance floor in the basement is a small area next to the bar with a TV. The top floor has the dance floor spread out everywhere. The Canadians don't know how to dance at all. It was pretty funny to watch. Also, it smells terrible on the top floor due to the mixture of sweaty people and weed. Everyone is smoking outside on the patio. I couldn't stand in that room for more than a minute. The backyard of this place is amazing. It's connected to like 2 or 3 other bars. It seems like Le Saint Sulpice is a big party frat house. Some of the kids hanging outside the place looked so young. My goodness... they were completely blasted out of their mind on drugs. It was really sad.. He couldn't even stand up without holding onto a tree. And his friend just stood their, laughed at him, pushed him around, and took pictures of him. It's a cool place to check out, have some beer with your friends in the backyard and go dancing in a sweaty, and humid room. If that's your kinda thing, then go for it. As for me, I don't think I'd come here again. It's just not my kinda place. read more

This place is awesome for drinking beers on the huge terrace, and on a summers day its sweet. If you are buying anything other than pitchers you are probably paying too much (including the food). I went there with a large goup and at the beginning it was great, but towards the end of the night this place starts to turn a bit dark. After 1am most of the children that are new to drinking, and some of the older ones that too used to drinking start to throw their toys and get a bit loose. Awesome place if you are early twenties and looking for somone to stumble home with, otherwise be gone by midnight. read more

I wish I had this bar in my city (Boston) all the time. Went here last summer and completely envied everything about it... Different style floors for different groups/types of hanging out - the library themed section has hundreds of vintage magazines to cruise through - as well as more packed low-lit dance floors (top floor I believe), karaoke rooms, multiple bars in each area... AND a gigantic back deck all the way up each floor and sprawling out the back. We found a table in one of the front balconies and camped out there for the night. Seriously such a good view and really memorable night. I don't blame anyone for complaining about the drinks, but it seems like they hit their demographic perfectly: any beer you can imagine, any quantity, pitchers suggested. Now that's a recipe for success if you ask me. I can't wait to go back as this is one of the most memorable bars I've been to in Montreal. And seriously - why don't we have one of these in Boston? Anyone got an answer for me?? read more

Great bar. It's pretty average during the winter. But in summertime, it's one of the greatest places in town. The backyard terrace is huge, and it's always full of people hanging out. You'll have a great time. read more

Le Saint-Sulpice - The backyard terrace! HUGE! - Bars Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

A lot of different atmospheres inside depending on the floor level. The backyard inside court is unique and immense. There's a lot of tables, some trees, and a giant water fountain. It's the ideal place to drink pitchers with the friends in summer. There's also 5$ poutines, wings, pizzas... read more

The terrace is great. It's got a vent nice and big beer garden, but that's where the good ends and the bad begins. Slow service, they brought us warm flat beer and when we asked for a change or refund, they had us wait almost half an hour. Not going there ever again. This used to be awesome back in the day, now, not so much. read more

Biggest Bar in Canada with a Huge terrasse that stretches as far as the eye can see, very lively and always full of people. The 4th floor's danceroom is amazing and huge and always packed on the week-end. You can also sing Karaoke for free every night starting at 10pm and it's free entry always for everyone :D Best place to meet new people as it's one of the most visited site for new comers in Montreal. I recommend !! read more

Talk about a patio! And they even have a fountain. But the best of all, every tuesday night they have improvisation comedy at the third floor, just great. read more

The best reason to go is the awesome back patio at Bar St-Sulpice. This is the prettiest little beer garden you ever did see, surrounded on three sides by the four story ivy covered walls of the surrounding brick buildings. The patio/garden is filled with tables and chairs all surrounding a big tree and lit low. Of ample size, this corner of Montreal is easily one of my favorites. read more

I love the space, love the atmosphere, love the music, love coming here with my friends. I nearly always have a good time. The other patrons are deliciously obnoxious, and if you come here with your posse, you WILL have a good time. If you don't have a posse, join one at St-Sulpice. I hate the bouncers. I hate, hate, hate the bouncers. One of my friends (who doesn't drink alcohol) came in with a coffee once and the bouncer forced her to drink it leaning outside of the gate of the emergency exit. What the hell was the point of that? Another time, I had a conversation with a friend of mine waiting in line to come in. I was within the inside of the bar, behind a barrier; a bouncer came up to me and said I wasn't allowed to talk to him. Actually, I was allowed to talk to him, that right is inalienable to all Canadians and entrenched in the Canadian Constitution of 1982 - something that the bouncer certainly was not and probably still is not aware exists. I once accidentally spilled a beer while completely sober and a bouncer accused me of being too drunk and told me to leave. I refused, and a chase ensued, with two bouncers chasing me through throngs of people throughout a period of hours. They'd give up at times and I'd sit down comfortably with my friends and have fun and drink, but then there'd be that tap on my shoulder again and the chase would resume. I can't say I hated that chase - I got progressively drunker and ended up giving a strip-tease show to some lucky hipsters - and in fact, I'd even say it made my night. However, the principle of it is that they wanted me out of there for a bullshit reason. How many glasses do the servers break by accident? It's not fair to want to kick someone out for a bullshit reason like accidentally spilling beer that they paid for. Keep in mind that people going there and purchasing drinks is what gets the bouncers paid in the first place. It's ludicrous - imagine harassing your payroll officer at work needlessly. I will still keep coming here with my friends (pour toujours). I will have fun. And I will always run. read more

Wow this place is huge, don't lost your friends when you're drunk, you'll never find them ;) in the summer, they have a gigantic terrasse, they can fit easily 300 people. Many floors, with different type of music on each floor. You can talk / dance and everything, it's a nice place, but very commercial. If you are looking for a less 'know' spot, more underground, it's really not the place to go! If you are a tourist, and want to meet people, it's a nice place to start your night! read more

Okay place, but watch out for the bar tenders who do funny math and ask you if you are sure that you want your change back. I suppose those are 'typical bar-tender tricks', but it's never fun to feel like you are being ripped off. Tsk tsk. read more

The patio of all patios! This bar goes on forever. Despite being crowded, you WILL find a table. Just keep walking. A white Sangria by the pitcher that makes you forget it's so cold in the middle of July. Good for the day or the night. A great place to start your night of revelry or debauchery on St Denis. read more

I wish I could rate saint-sulpice higher. it's a huge establishment--like three or four floors. I came on a night they were having a free improv show (en francais, mesdames et messieurs!), which was definitely a fun time. the parts I understood were hilarious...the parts I didn't understand were funny too (choice body language!). unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed with two things: 1) I walked in looking for my friends who said they were at the improv show. I didn't know it was all the way on the top floor, so I wandered around on the first floor for a while, searching. eventually a guy came up to me and asked "tu cherches quelque chose?" ("you're looking for something?") to which I tried to explain the situation in french. my french isn't horrid, but you can definitely tell I am not a native speaker. he cut me off mid-explanation and said "I CAN SPEAK ENGLISH TOO, YOU KNOW" in a really offended voice. I'm sorry I tried to reply in the language with which you started the conversation. jesus. calm your balls, I'm sure your english is fine. don't need to get all angry and defensive. 2) upstairs was crowded due to the improv show. I didn't see any coatracks (maybe my eyes were failing me) but just hooks or something for jackets would be nice...it was pretty stuffy and hot in there, given the crowdedness. read more

This was the first club I ever went to and I gotta say thank god. The 4th floor dance floor is pretty small but the music flows well. There's a bar at every corner of this place. The age of the crowd varies on what night and season you go. Also time you go in a definite factor. At around 8-10pm your likely to get a table on a Saturday night in the summer. Dancing on the 4th floor only starts at around 12am. 4th floor only starts filling up at around 11:50. Don't expect to be dancing earlier than that unless you start it. Price drinks are decent and servers are incredibly nice. I sat at a table for no more then 10 mins and 3 waiters/waitresses asked if we had been served yet. You're never without a drink. My only complaint of this place was the fact that the dance floor was so high up. The outside stairs are grills so for girls wearing dresses or skirts expect to flash people and non wedged heels slip right through each step. Also the dancing started to late for my liking. Should of been popping earlier :) read more
