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.
Awesome atmosphere, great service, & tremendous food with a solid beer selection. The pub has charming old Irish décor, & you can tell it has a loyal following lots of repeat customers that really add to the warm, local vibe. They also have fantastic live music on weekends.
There's a huge yet cozy upstairs space that's perfect if you're going with a group of 10 or more. While the beers are good, Montreal has so many incredible breweries that they're not quite at that level …some felt slightly watered down. That said, we ordered three starters & all of them were excellent, especially the chicken wings tossed in their special spicy sauce.
This is my friends' fav spot. It's super safe & the live music is awesome. Their cocktails are great & my friends love their beers. Their pitchers of sangria are also great to split between a bunch of people. Their food is alright & good for snacking. There is usually seating for big groups. The service is pretty friendly & quick but sometimes the waiters don't always remember who got what & it can be a bit of a headache when closing all the tabs. The place is great to catch up with friends but sometimes the music can be a bit too loud & it's better to be in their patio area since it is quieter. I also love that the bathrooms are usually very clean.
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!
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 vibe. Big selection of beers, all which were great & not to expensive. I'm not a craft beer person but this place might make me one. Staff are extremely friendly. I recommend the raspberry beer above the rest. I've never had anything like it. It was smooth & tasted as much like a cream soda as it did a beer. It was delicious. The honey beer & the green beer were also great. Live music on weekends also. Bands are usually pretty good & keep the place pumped up. Will definitely be back & will probably be my new got to especially for beer.

Cute bar with live music. The staff were friendly & helpful. We tried the raspberry beer, & it is my new favorite! The band was pretty decent. They played some 90s classics & were not overwhelmingly loud. We didn't try any of the food this time but would check it out as the prices were pretty good & the people around us seemed to enjoy theirs!
