Oh the Irish pubs of Montreal! If Yelp was around years ago I would be the empress of these little big gems. Ye Old Orchard is one of my favorite. Good pub food, tasty Guinness and if you are looking for a local beer there is a nice choice on tap. The place is very quiet in the early hours of the evening (unless you end up watching a world cup game at noon). At around 9 pm the crowds arrive and with them the noise, the vibe, the party time.
