| - Wandered into this place after shopping on St. Laurent.
Anyway, we NEEDED to be drinking in a bar for THE RAPTURE 2011, and we like random places.
Bar Fly looked like our cup of dive bar and we only had 10 minutes before, you know, THE RAPTURE.
Could not have picked a better place.
It was almost six when we wandered in we got our drinks and headed out back to the cementesque patio ( which closes at 9:00pm btw)
About 15 peeps outside, sitting around drinking, chilling and smoking.
Some were complete characters.
Some were just ( happily) drunk.
All were REALLY welcoming, friendly and interesting.
All seemed local.
As the night wore on more and more regulars showed up.
All equally cool.
BONUS: It was one of the regular's birthdays and he BBQ'd a feast on the patio - it was his bday party, he's a chef by trade- and he even invited us to eat. So NICE.
It was awesome!
We stayed until about, errr, 10:00.
By then it was super- packed anyway and we ready to move on. We had made some friends and went out dancing.
NOTES: Good music on the sound system, nice bartender. Definitely a dive joint ( in the best sense of the phrase). We used cash and I would suggest you do too. Not even sure if they take cards.
All-around great experience.
