I tend to like a bar best at its quieter, off-hours and Philemon is no exception. After a nice L'Orignal dinner on a Sunday with good company a mosey through the pretty cobblestone streets of Old Montreal over to the wide windows of Philemon is a pleasure. It's industrial modern without being too much so, doesn't sacrifice comfort and good taste. There's a tasty list of house cocktails and waitstaff smart enough to know when to recommend a straight scotch or old fashioned instead. Not overpriced for the area, and totally a great option when not obnoxiously over-crowded, like on a winter Sunday with good company.
