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.
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
Cracking atmosphere with a live band, was quite loud so hard to talk especially when the place is busy but really lovely atmosphere to be around so many others.
Good selection of beers made on site at their brewery, some other drinks other than beers you can have too but you go for the beer. A good visit if you want a drink.

Was there on a trivia night, so the noise level was louder than a typical night, but me & my group still had a good time! Drinks were good, food was great, & our server was awesome (& patient, given the number of us in her section!). Would absolutely go back whenever I'm in the city.
Nice little spot to grab a drink & enjoy some pub food! Definitely recommend the poutine. The prices are reasonable & portions are generous. The drinks are definitely quite strong! The atmosphere is relaxed & chill, & overall just has great vibes.
We were very badly served, they treated us as if our table didn't exist, we almost had to beg someone to come. Then, we ordered drinks that didn't come & at the time of the bill the waitress was rude for not receiving the tip that she didn't deserve by the way.

Brutopia is a solid spot for a night out! They have cheap drinks, live music, & a friendly vibe thanks to the awesome staff. The food is decent - nothing extraordinary, but it does the job. Overall, it's a great place to hang out with friends & enjoy some live tunes without breaking the bank!
We snagged a table in the back corner of the downstairs area on a busy Friday night. Service & drinks were great, & the live music was nice in the background. We appreciated that it wasn't so loud that we couldn't continue talking during the music. Ended the night with some yummy french fries. Highly recommend!
Great little pub super friendly staff. Drinks were tasty & the food was great. Open mic on Sundays at 10 & the place was starting to fill up when we left.
