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!
Le Cheval Blanc feels like a relaxed, unpretentious neighbourhood classic with a genuine Montreal atmosphere, where a strong in house beer selection sits beside a reasonably priced menu and solid food. The decor blends art deco charm with a sense of history that adds character and even a retro futuristic vibe reminiscent of a Blade Runner style setting. The street patio in spring through fall is excellent, lively without being overwhelming, and the overall vibe is relaxed, creative, and local, attracting a mix of regulars and visitors. It is a place that people keep coming back to for casual evenings, patio drinks, and easygoing surroundings. Staff are noted as friendly and the service approachable, contributing to a no frills feel that still delivers good beer and simple, satisfying food. A few comments mention more pint size options and a clearer online menu, but the general sentiment is that Le Cheval Blanc is a welcoming, consistently enjoyable spot worth revisiting.
Lieu mythique ,cette micro est l une des meilleurs au niveau des bières artisanales , la musique est bonne ,excellente place avant & après les spectacles ou un dimanche après midi durant l été avec sa blonde
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!
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.
Bonne atmosphère & choix de bières artisanales de qualité intéressant. Peut-être le niveau sonore de la musique rend-il difficiles les échanges. Heureusement il y a toujours la terrasse pour faire tomber la pression acoustique.

Alex was not only amazing but polite & accommodating! He provided us with a beautiful experience & unforgettable memories! That person is a gentleman, a scholar & a gem of a human being!
J'étais déjà venue dans les dernières 10 années mais Alex nous a vraiment surpris avec son chaleureux accueil, on est revenus & on se sent encore plus à la maison. Définitivement un endroit où tu deviens un habitué. Du staff qui sont en service par passion & ça parait 🤍
