This is a #ThankYouThursday covid-19 review. I am walking down streets in my memories and thinking…read moreabout some of the ridiculous fun times I've had in Montreal bars. Our nightlife is what makes our city and I really hope the provincial and federal government get together behind some actual coordinated support for these crucial local businesses. I used to live near Hemisphere gauche and have walked by all kinds of different crowds gathered outside, it's so awesome to see how different kinds of communities can feel welcomed in live music venues and bars and I love walking by and feeling, not just unthreatened, but somehow welcomed in their midst. I've sat on the window ledge here and enjoyed a cheep beer and the people watching, and I've rolled in here with a crew of badass lady friends after another bar closed and the staff let us take over their karaoke set up and drink whiskey and sing all our frustrations out till closing time, no fuss.

We should have recorded it. Other patrons were laughing so hard and amazed by our improvisation. I really appreciate the care and diligence the staff put into making sure I was safe in Montreal especially since I was a solo female traveler. Parking was easier than other Montreal areas. I was able to dine at a restaurant prior to the show. The bar didn't have food service. I will definitely go back when I revisit Montreal. I felt safe.

I can't speak to La Tulipe as a club since I've only been here for shows, I've seen Bluelight Burlesque productions here and recently came to see Daniel Ash and Kevin Haskins of Bauhaus/Tones on Tail/Love & Rockets fame and it was just the perfect place to see them for what turned out to be an amazing show full of nostalgia and tunes I thought I would never hear live again. There's an area near the stage where those who want to take in the show in general admission form can go and stand (be careful because slam-dancing always inevitably breaks out) and tables further back where you can sit, sip your drinks and take in the show leisurely. Drinks are reasonably priced and the crowd is pretty chill. I'll have to come here some Saturday night so I can check out 80s night.

I wasn't disappointed with La Tulipe (if you don't count the remixed version of Miami Sound Machine's Conga). The music was eclectic, from U2 and New Order to B52s, Human League, The Cure, OMD, Joan Jett, and aforementioned MSM, plus a few cusp acts like Boney M, Michael Jackson (when he was still black), Deee Lite. It was like going back to my students days :). As I also spent a year in France at the time, I enjoyed hearing a smattering of hits by Les Rita Mitsouko, Niagara and Indochine. The crowd was also eclectic: with people who were there in the 80s, their kids, and those in between, as many English speakers as French speakers, I'd say. There was a pick-up vibe I have rarely seen in Montreal, but nothing overly intrusive. Still, if you are looking to hook up with someone, the chances are you could... Entrance fee is now $8, and drinks were regular bar prices. Service was quick and friendly. I'm definitely going back!

This old Beaubien dive which is generally quiet save for the occasional coin drop and even rarer…read morejangle of a win from the gamblor machines that live in the back seems to be holding up well under the new pressure of Pop Montreal. Last night at 12:30 as people pushed around the bar the tough Quebecoise old school bar back kept up a smile and did a better job of keeping track of who was due their booze next than many a trendy cocktail lounge one might name, and cracked jokes and complimented the home made muffins on the bar to boot. Jameson at $5.50, bottle of water at a dollar, bag o chips a buck fifty, ie; no jimmyriggery in the prices of things had my adorable companion declaring it her favourite bar as she prepared for a long night of shows and shows and work on shows and shows... Speaking of the show: we left the bar and pushed up front to join the crowd at the "stage" by the window wondering how the sound would be. Not least because this was no solo acoustic set but the full DIY electro playfulness of a Fixture records showcase: open computer bodies and VHS tapes being played and layered over drum machines and loops and pedals, and you know from what I saw and heard it all worked out. None of the sudden tonal anarchy we were getting from the system at Cagibi earlier in the evening where, let's face it, the wiring is way too old for amps and keys and things. Beaubien held it down and made it's smiling old folks, hustling to bring in ice and serve the kids, well proud. I hope the rest of Pop is a mad success for them and they continue to be a space for great live music up here north of the underpass. Long live Beaubien.

This was my first time ever visiting Montreal and my mom and I were looking for a cool spot for some late night drinks and chats and this was perfect. This is a Speakeasy Bar with nice dim-lighting, burlesque-style decor, soft jazz music in the background that isn't too loud where you can actually hear each other speak! I ordered the Late Night Encounter drink which was like a Espresso Martini but, it wasn't too strong or bitter at all - it was very smooth with the perfect amount of sweetness. Then, I ordered their No Bias drink which was refreshing and very tasty. My mom and I got the Mirza Ghassemi and Noix Roties - both perfect little snacks to enjoy with your drinks and then we got their Burrata pizza to share which was SO DELICIOUS. I definitely will come back when I return to Montreal again!
