Brutopia was one of the many places I bookmarked before driving to Montreal, so I was really excited to check this place out once I finally got to the city. After finding a spot at the bar downstairs, Jared and I each ordered a pint of the vanilla stout, which was quite strong. We also got an order of the salsiccia and baguette--the bread came toasted and the sausage had a great zing. The decor inside was pretty nondescript, typical for a dive bar, and the bartender was quite friendly with the regulars.
Overall, I really liked it here. The downstairs bar wasn't crowded, the bartender was friendly, and the beer was delicious. After a long day of walking, I was ready to have a quiet night, so Brutopia was the perfect destination. Would certainly make my way here again if I had the chance.
