Bily Kun and its sister bar plan b (https://yelp.to/qTKq/mq1yfkLLTI) are the nicest bars a stones throw away from station Mont Royal.
If you're in the area, give it a go!
Bily Kun is a bit more of a "boys" spot, where as I would put Plan B as being more of a "date night." The vibe is a bit "dark" with ostrich heads on the wall (I was there during the holidays and all the ostriches had Santa hats on!). The crowd tends to be mid 20's, not a college bar on the whole.
I went there for a week night 5 a 7 and had no issues finding a table, but be warned that Thursday, Friday, Saturday this place is very buzzy! Would not recommend for large groups. All week long they boast a 5 a 9 beer list (some pints for 5.75). This place is definitely a bit on the pricier end, but is a great spot none the less!
