Brasserie Artisinale L'Amere a Boire first opened its doors in 1996 and is still going strong. As one of the only brew pub in Montreal to sell both ales and lagers made on the premises, L'Amere a Boire has made quite an impression on Montreal beer aficionados. With a cavernous 25 foot ceiling, the two-floored establishment provides an inviting atmosphere that includes two outdoor terraces and a rustic brick interior.
Brasserie artisanale L'amère à boire is described as a lively, convivial bar with a friendly staff and a strong beer program, where the atmosphere can be welcoming and social but may get loud on busy nights, and the back terrace is praised for its intimate, quieter setting. Beers are consistently high quality, with favorites like Cerna, the Blonde lager, and a fruity IPA, along with a range of German and Czech styles and occasional beer cocktails that add variety. Food offerings are noted as interesting and well executed, with themed options tied to events that add to the overall appeal. The venue is described as clean and well maintained, and many reviews highlight the staff's service and value for money. Some caveats appear, including smoke from the open door on the terrace, moments of uneven service, and music that can be a little loud for conversation, but the general sentiment remains positive. The location is repeatedly praised, with mentions of a terrace on St Denis and proximity to the Sherbrooke metro, and many reviewers call it a standout brewery in town and a classic neighborhood spot. Overall the reviews present Brasserie artisanale L'amère à boire as a go to destination for beer lovers seeking variety, quality, and a lively yet approachable atmosphere.
Bar sympa avec de bonnes bières & snack, une petite section un peu plus cuisine avec des petits'plats' disponible du mardi au samedi (présentement dû à la présence du cuistot ces jours-là)
my go-to bar when im hanging out with friends, the atmosphere is amazing, its a very nice bar ! it can get a little loud on busy nights, but i always love coming here, the staff is very nice
J'y vais (moins souvent maintenant) depuis l'ouverture (ça ne me rajeuni pas), toujours un plaisir. Les bières sont d'une qualité exceptionnelle. La Cerna reste ma préférée. Longue vie a l'Amère à Boire (ou à l'Amère à soir, comme on disait dans le temps).

On a été super bien accueilli & super bien servis. Les bières sont excellentes & assez uniques, la nourriture est vraiment intéressante, & il y a des thématiques selon les événements. L'endroit est également très propre. Ça doit faire 12 ans que je connais cette place, elle ne vieillit pas.

Service top. Super bière & ambiance. Un classique du quartier latin. Mes amies & moi on fait l'éloge des délices des cornichons & des choses fermentées; le serveur nous offre - sans'input' de notre part - des chips à l'aneth. Insane.
