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.
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.

A lovely spot with a nice selection of beer (including an ipa from wellington, new zealand which reminded me of the good days beer hopping there while studying), good food & really lovely service. A small place & can get pretty busy but it is also good proof that you can't go wrong with simplicity when it is done well.
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.
Great way to get drunk on a Monday night. Really great personnel & crowd. The beer selection is superb & you definitely do find something you like. Can't say anything about food though. Clear recommendation!

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.
Absolutely loved my experience here! The atmosphere was super chill & relaxing, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The beer selection was great, & the staff were friendly & attentive. Can't wait to come back for another visit!
Service was great for a weekend. They had a excellent selection of in house beers. My favorite one was the pumpkin beer! The food was average pub fare food & the most irking decor was the giant Fizz poster staring right back at me from the corner of the bar.
Good selections of beer. My personal favorite was Honey blonde - it really does taste like honey! Coffee stout has very sour acidic taste. Great place to hang out.
