I was here for a metal/punk music festival.
Great atmosphere. The venue is relatively small but the energy is great. Can't wait to go see another show here.

The sound guy for concerts is the best I've ever seen in hundreds of bar shows! All three bands sounded incredible & we left without our ears ringing. Great bar service, friendly staff. It is however your typical Mtl alley out back, but we all expect that at these venues, it adds to the flavor!

Is this Montréals best dive bar
I dunno but if it is... glad I went.
Had some time to kill before catching a train & so I travelled down rue Sainte Catharine & found this gem.
Decor (sort of run down Canadiana), Casino (game slots on the other side of the space), Music (alternative, rock, metail), & a pool table - I dunno, it all just fit!
Cool drink specials during the day & the service was actually pretty good. Servers came to us for orders & all of it was enough to have tons of talking points.
Screens around to watch any game that is being played was nice.
Didn't realize concerts were played in here as well... maybe next time!
