| - "What did the banana say to the orange?"
This was the starting line of one of the bartenders as a friend and I sat at the bar. The answer is . . . she didn't know. At that point, I knew this place was going to be either super fun or a hot mess. I am sooooo glad that it was the former.
After a day of looking at Canadian and worldly art, this bar/restaurant was a much needed delight. First, the bar has an AMAZING selection of craft beers and brews, and interesting cocktails. Also, it has some kind of weird drinks where they pair various beers with frozen drinks. Think of a blonde ale mixed with a pina colada. . . if that is your type of thing. Although I really did not care for these beverages (because they were too sweet for my taste buds), many people who dislike beers may appreciate these beverages. Hell when in Montreal . . .
Second, the staff (especially Anna, the bartender) is WONDERFUL. Anna was very FUN and ENTERTAINING. Plus she always made sure that our drinks were filled to the brim. She (not dissing the other staff) probably was the main reason that we had so much fun at Les 3 Brasseurs. The barback girl and manager also were very good.
Third, the bar space is very open (like many places in Montreal). It is nice to chill at bar where you are not all on top of each other. Sometimes, you just want to drink without having someone all up in your sh*t.
The one drawback is that Canada, like many places in the world, serve exact pours. So, if you want a Bourbon neat, you may have to order 3 at the same time to get a decent drink/buzz.
All in all: the next time that I visit Montreal, I will make another trip here. Hell, I may do it without going to the museum. Maybe next time I will even try some of Les 3 Brasseurs' food because on this occassion this more of a drink your calories type of day.
