Brutopia spans three floors, and on each floor is a bar. This Crescent Street brewpub offers both familiar and exotic ales, but specialize in full-flavoured English ales: Nutbrown, Raspberry, Extra Blonde, Honey Beer, Porter, Blackout Stout, as well as its unique India Pale Ale.
Brutopia is described as a warm, welcoming spot for craft beer lovers and live music, with a solid lineup of house brews, a lively but cozy atmosphere, and friendly staff. An upstairs space works well for groups, weekends feature live music and open mic nights, and the downtown Montreal location is convenient before events. The beer and food receive praise, including wings, nachos, and poutine, with good value for the price. Some caveats include occasional beers that feel slightly watered down, a few dishes that were overcooked, and moments of loudness during busy periods, but the overall impression is of a dependable, neighborhood brewpub experience with strong hospitality.
Excellente découverte !! Très beau pub & très bonne bière de microbrasserie, le barman est très accueillant :)
Ambiance unique, il y a une scène pour des spectacles/stand up.
Nous y reviendrons !!!!
We hate to spend more than an hour at any spot when we travel, but we loved this spot so much that we came back an hour later! Samantha is the nicest bartender & the vibes are on point. This place is a must visit if you're in montreal!

The beer is legit, & goth tattooed bartender is awesome (she knows how to pour a good stout) & hot. Overall, this is a solid spot. Would absolutely recommend.
I was fortunate to find this cozy little bar when I was in Montreal recently. I was looking for a brew pub to try out some local beers & Brutopia left me very satisfied. The New England IPA was my favourite, but I also enjoyed the Green Phantom Ale (actually green) & the La Duchesses IPA.
Furthermore, the food was tasty & inexpensive. We enjoyed the Nachos, but the home made BBQ sauce that came with the hot wings was uniquely delicious.
One of the best Brew/Bars downtown for Beer enthusiasts. Whole friend group who isn't crazy about beer all loved it, homebrewed goodness, very good cider & can't recommend the poutine enough 🔥
AVOID AT ALL COSTS - DO NOT GO IF YOU'RE A GIRL ALONE!!!
There's a super creepy bartender upstairs, white guy with a short trimmed beard that gets drunk while working, then he will pressure you into trying to get you drunk by giving you free drinks while acting super sexual & creepy... but as soon as you say you're not interested he gets hostile, rude & then tries to charge you for the drinks he said he would give you for free!! THIS PLACE IS NOT SAFE FOR WOMEN AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Cozy little brewery in Montreal! We were here for the day & stopped in to have a local beer & the pulled pork poutine. Was top tier. The bar tender was friendly & it was nice to talk to some locals at the bar. Was a very warm & inviting atmosphere especially with it being so cold outside. A full bar, small tables, & a little stage inside. Wish we got to see some live music, maybe next time. Overall, great beer & poutine!

We were here last night for supper. We were sat at the bar as there wasn't any other tables available. The bartender Jackie was absolutely amazing! Even though she was busy, she always made sure to check in with us & update us on the status of our food order. I had ordered the cheeseburger & forgot to ask for it to be well done (100% on me & I took full accountability for that) & I got the burger & it was probably more of a medium which is too rare for my liking & I just can't stomach pink meat so I unfortunately asked if I could send it back & felt terrible about it. Jackie said it was not an issue at all & she never once made me feel badly about it & she herself took full accountability even though it was my mistake! Furthermore, she asked the kitchen to prioritize the new one being made! Outstanding customer service!!! I really appreciated her kindness & professionalism. Oh, & all of the food & brew were absolutely delicious! 10/10 recommend this place & will definitely be back whenever I am in the area again!

Mon bar préféré pour une incursion dans le monde « Anglo » de crescent. Personnel très accueillant & spécialement Bill le gérant. Musiciens, souvent inconnus & parfois surprenants. Belle carte de bières & bons nachos
