| - Don't get me wrong, I like the brewpubs in Montreal. But sometimes I just get so tired of the hipster crowd in the plateau, and coming from the states, occasionally I miss the sports bar atmosphere. So there I was looking for a traditional sports bar, somewhere that had a large beer selection, bar food and a lot of TVs with sports...Enter Peel Pub.
By day, this is your average sports bar, complete with 27 big screen tv's scattered throughout the bar, a great beer & liquor selection and a friendly staff. Their menu is even pretty good, from hot dogs and poutine to spaghetti. The food and drinks are very reasonably priced, especially for downtown. By night this turns into a college bar, after all McGill and Concordia are rather close by, complete with daily events and drink specials, like karaoke and cheap $1 shooters.
I also like the ambiance here, particularly during the day. Brick walls on the inside, two floors and really a tv any direction you look. I mean, it's a fun place to go watch sports during the day and stay for the night time festivities. But, if you don't want to stay, the rest of Peel is just outside, and Crescent is a couple blocks away.
