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!

Review Summary

Le Cheval Blanc comes across as a beloved, laid back hub focused on great craft beer, a memorable atmosphere, and a creative crowd. Reviews praise the beer on tap variety, reasonable prices, and friendly staff, with a vibe that blends music, art, and socializing for students and longtime locals alike. The place is celebrated as a historic first micro pub with a simple, intimate room, though as it has grown it can feel emptier off peak times. Food is rarely mentioned, but the beer and the scene shine, including live shows and seasonal selections that keep things interesting, making it a must visit for a lively night out and a treasure to preserve.

This is a great microbrewery with a wonderful vibe. It is not a restaurant but a place to drink & enjoy conversation which is what you want in a microbrewery. & the hazy IPA was outstanding. Finally, the serving staff were a joy.
