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.

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.
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.
J'ai découvert ce petit pub hier soir grâce à une amie. Ça m'a rappelé mes années à Concordia. J'ai adoré leur IPA & le cheeseburger avec salade était parfait aussi. La prochaine fois je vais revenir pour écouter un band ou un chanteur.
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.
Our server was excellent-attentive, friendly, & ensured we had everything we needed. The pub had a comfortable & inviting atmosphere, making for a pleasant setting.
Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. The nachos were topped with spaghetti sauce, & the quesadillas were stuffed with it as well. This unexpected ingredient completely overwhelmed the flavors, making the dishes unappetizing.

We went on a Sunday evening & it was quiet. I hear it can be a busy place. Service was fast & friendly, food was great & price was good. A great selection of beers made on site added to the uniqueness of this pub.
La bouffe est excellente pour un style pub. Le prix est très raisonnable pour la grosseur des assiettes. Rien à dire sur la bière puisqu'elle est toujours bonne.
