HELM (which is an acronym for Houblon (Hops), Eau (Water), Levure (Yeast) & Malt) is an unpretentious brew-pub which promotes quality and local products in an urban setting. Aside from the in-house brewed beer, we also offer a wide selection of Quebec cider and American wines. We also offer a simple cuisine featuring fresh ingredients. Its decor, both rough and refined, its big, central bar, the lights are what makes HELM a friendly place, perfect for discussing and meeting with friends.
HELM microbrasserie is a welcoming spot with a warm vibe, standout beers and thoughtful food, where a friendly team and relaxed atmosphere make it easy to spend a great evening with friends; the beer list offers creative flavors, the decor is simple and inviting, and the terrace and dog friendly policy add to the appeal, while occasional busy periods may slow service but staff stay accommodating and welcoming.
The burger & fries were great, imo much better than what one would normally expect in a pub. Didn't had local beer so can't comment much here. The service is good. For the atmosphere minus one for a strange toilet configuration with & a table near it... you'll understand if you see it. But otherwise will definitely visit again.
Quality beers are found there. Delicious chicken wings & vibes. The establisment screams quality!
However, the poutine, despite having excellent fries & delectable sauce, severely lacks cheese in quality (melting & non-squeeking) & quantity. Best to avoid this meal until they fix it. The burger looks good though!

Nice atmosphere. Definitely a casual spot. High quality brews with some unique flavors like peach & dark coffee. When it gets busy, you could be waiting awhile. Food is delicious but pricy - $15 for a burger that doesn't come with fries is too much.
Expérience décevante en tout point: musique bien trop forte, notre serveur était pressé de prendre notre première commande de boissons, quant a notre commande de nourriture on s'est fait expliqué que le burger venait sans accompagnement à la demande des clients (!!!) pour 17$ le burger c'est abusé, tout comme 15$ l'assiette d'humus servi dans un mini pot Masson, c'est abusé aussi. C'est moi qui du interpeler un serveur pour demander des verres d'eau qu'on ne s'est meme pas vu offrir apres le repas ni notre deuxième tournée de bieres. Il y a trop de laisser aller pour trop cher. On ira ailleurs la prochaine fois.
The burger is good - & that's about all I can say that's positive. The fries were soggy, Cesar salad was the worst I've ever had at a restaurant (small, some brown lettuce leaves, virtually no dressing), & for a place reputed for its beer they somehow have only one NA option, & an import at that (offer a local BSA or something!). A little more on the pricy side, too, for what you get.

Very nice microbrewery in the Mile End.The service is very good. Excellent selection of beer so that everyone can enjoy one. There are other iconic cocktails to try out! The food is particularly good, such as the burger & the poutine. The vibe is also really nice, but it gets a little loud later in the night, which makes it harder to talk to other people at your table. I feel like they could reduce the music just a little bit. Overall, I would recommend!
La bière est pas mal par contre je suis tombé malade après avoir mangé un burger. Je vais devoir déposer plainte, il y a sûrement des standards de propreté ou de gestion de nourriture à revoir. Gare aux faux avis qui trompent les gens. Cet établissement pousse les gens à laisser des avis positifs pour avoir une chance de gagner un truc, c'est malhonnête & ils ne méritent pas la note qu'ils ont par conséquent.
Petit 5@7 souper-terrasse agréable 12 juin. - Le burger était bien, sans plus. - La bière goûtait correct, comme il y a 7 ans. - Par contre, clairement manque de staff. La serveuse faisait de son mieux mais bon ça a un impact sur le service. - Le tartare goûtait l'eau, sans saveur puis était coupé metton très grossièrement. Bref pas inoubliable mais belle terrasse quand même. 3.5/5
