| - I travelled to Montreal last week from NYC on what was my first solo venture in a long, long time. The one great thing about travelling alone is also the biggest problem: every decision is yours. You can do what ever you want but then again there's never a moment when someone says, "Let's do 'X'," and you just go, "OK".
So I wandered past Dieu Du Ciel, noticed no real 'bar crowd' as in no one standing at the actual bar. Everyone was already in their group and seated at their table. So I went past. Then I stopped. Then I went back and entered thinking I'd sit there and see what happened.
First the bartender was SO helpful and gracious and helped me pick what was to be the first of many beers, an IPA (#2). It was one of the tastiest beers I've ever had and I drink beer and have even brewed my own. From there I sampled one after the other, all delicious, with the coffee stout and the Rigor Mortis as two other standouts. Next thing I knew I'd fallen in with a jovial group of Montrealers who invited me to join them at their table. It was a great night.
If you're in Montreal and you like beer, like having a good time, like meeting new people, then Dieu Du Ciel is a must stop.
