So I find myself in Montreal for a short trip back to my favorite city in North America... I heard about this place from a friend who used to hang here in the last century, we had a mutual acquaintance who actually was in this town and in this club for the better part of a decade and who actually moved here for the night life action.
A picture of this place should be in the encyclopedia next to "Meat market"
All touristy bars in touristy cities have one, and I guess in Boston the equivalent scene would have to be one of the bars right in Faneuil Hall. A place I have hung out maybe three times in my life.
But my first reaction was exactly my reaction when I walked into Mardi Gras in Cranston, the crowd is the oldest one that I walked into in Montreal for this trip, and the impression was that a good amount of the men were locals waiting for drunk tourist older women to step into their lair. So after paying my ten dollar cover charge, took a quick circle and left to check out St. Laurent Avenue.
