| - Else's the place to be.
And I don't mean it in a scenester or hipster sort of way. It's just an awesome venue where all of the key elements that makes a good bar great can be found here. That's why Else's THE place!
I loved everything about it: great ambiance, unpretentious, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and great music. My friend and I arrived when the band finished their set but one of Else's patrons decided to tickle at the piano keys near the back of the bar and played a few tunes. It was impromptu and fun. Else's that kind of place.
In terms of libation, they have a great Scotch list but instead, we opted for the cold cider. It was a local brew and unfortunately I can't remember the name of it but it tasted crisp, refreshing, and not too sweet. Their food menu is good and simple: from salads to nachos, and other healthy options. I had their veggie samosas, which were delicious.
I would have loved to returned to Else's to spend more time there but it was my last night in the city. Of course, this only means I have to return to Montreal very soon, which is not a bad thing all!
