With its green marble formica walls and terrazo floors, Le Cheval Blanc is your vintage working class neighbourhood old time tavern. Located in what used to be called the Faubourg à la Mélasse (the Molasses District), it became the first licensed brew pub in Montréal, back in 1986. People come for the excellence of its beers, its cozy atmosphere, cool staff, great music and a bit of intentional simplicity!

NOTE: This is about long ago, when it was the FIRST micro-pub in Montreal! One long long room, low-key but perfect, slick steel & faux marble...Such good times & beer to die for (we were there nearly everyday for a few years until... we moved, snif!) My favorite bar EVER! Doesn't hurt to hear a bit of history; it wasn't just great until competition came; it was a though act to follow, & thrived! Just 3 selections of the week (some seasonal) but when they say less is more... WOW! (& probably the last place to have a throwback 25c peanut machine at the bar, cute touch!
The staff were sociable, ALL artists (from different domains) & the music really great, not radio music: you went there to hear new, or older, always 'on point' selections! Lots of students, chill older types: it had fun local art & music shows, always changing. Had all the cultural papers on site, exhibitions news, comic strips drawn by staff) so something to do while waiting on a friend or on your own (back before smartphones, lol)
Can't speak of the food or terrasses, which didn't exist then. BUT anywhere THAT great, with THAT great people behind it, while becoming bigger, must have kept some original charm (& the best beer!) I have been in, but quickly since, &... I guess it's just as pleasant, but for another crowd, in different ways, with the new additions. My only sad comment would be that when a place gets large, it seems emptier when not prime time. But hey, the beer on tap is better than anything bottled -even their own-!. Just for that...Worth the try, at any rate! : )

Had an amazing time visiting. This was a random stop visiting from Ottawa as our hotel was around the corner. My partner were impressed at how busy it was here. It says a lot about the place. It has an older crowd, but the most lively bar we stepped in. Not to mention great beer. Recommend for a nice night out with friends on a Saturday night.

What an awesome brewery & neighborhood pub! A great, low-key place to relax & enjoy great beer. I got the Velourrrrs, which is easily one of the best IPAs I tried during my visit to Montréal & ranks among the best IPAs I've ever tried (top 7% out of 233 different IPAs). Merci à vous!
