| - Bust out the grunge. The Milestone is the perfect place to schmooze with the punks, metalheads and venue/show rats. Crawling with history, and plenty of stickers on every surface from shows/bands of the past, this hole-in-the-wall turned landmark is one my favorite venues in the QC.
I've been here on multiple occasions and each time has been different and more memorable than the last. My first impression, a while back, was a little disheartening from how many people were smoking inside. Now, so I hear, this has been done away with. Good for us non-smokers and maybe a blow to the cigarette-goers. However, this paled to the happiness I found in the small bar with cheap PBR and the even tinier stage. I've seen this stage packed with 6 member outfits with hardly enough room to play and smaller rockabilly bands tearing it up! So much personality there could be a novella written about the days it has seen. Goodness what a cool joint.
This place isn't glamorous, folks. It's an old, converted house, turned-venue. If you're into punk, metal, or anything in between, check their website. Always booking shows and plenty of variety. You can buy tickets online or pay at the door.
Beware on rainy nights. The parking lot, if you can call it a parking lot haha, gets really muddy. Park on the street to avoid a muddy car! Or, be awesome and park in the mud and make it a story! Cheers to the Milestone and many years to come of kicking some serious rock ass!
