Fish and chips= AWESOME
Beer selection= AWESOME
Friendliness of the crowd= NOT SO AWESOME
I popped in to this bar for a quick dinner and one drink solo while shopping in downtown Montreal. Everywhere I went was jam packed and I didn't have the patience to wait. I found this bar a few streets over and decided to go in since I didn't see a line out the door as I saw at other bars and restaurants (apparently there was some hockey game on TV).
When I first got to the bar, people were cordial and somewhat friendly. As the night progressed, people gave me dirtier looks and looked very disinterested in making conversation with me. I didn't know what was going on and I was starting to get a bit upset, so I decided to finish off my beer and food and hail a cab back to my hotel.
Just as I was about to leave, I asked the bartender in a very nice manner why people were so cold. She pointed at my shirt and didn't say anything. Apparently wearing a Pittsburgh Steelers shirt in to a bar while the Montreal Canadiens are getting their asses beat by the Pittsburgh Penguins isn't the way to go about making friends in Montreal.
