  • La Paryse, 302, rue Ontario Est (metro Berri-UQÀM), (514) 842-2040. Though easy to miss from the street, this tiny diner known for its burgers is often busy; you may very well have to wait in line for a table. Diner, burgers.

  • SAT (Société des arts technologiques), 1195 boulevard Saint-Laurent (metro Saint-Laurent), +1-514-844-2033 (), [1]. M-F 5PM-10PM, Sa-Su various. This one-of-a-kind venue is supported by the province of Quebec and the federal government to display and promote digital art. With high ceilings and low couches, it has the feel of a funky uberhip techno club, and in fact there is quite a bit of great club music on weekend nights. But there's also fascinating computer art installations going on at all times, with some video and live performances. A great place to meet people in Montreal. $4.50 draft beer, $5 well drinks, $5-25 cover after 10PM.  edit
  • Pub Sainte-Élisabeth, 1412 rue Sainte-Élisabeth (metro Saint-Laurent). Best terrasse for a drink. Feels like a greenhouse. edit
  • Foufounes Électriques, 87 rue Sainte-Catherine Est (metro Saint-Laurent), 514-844-5539, [2]. 3PM-3AM every day. The name is a neverending source of comedy for Montrealers and visitors alike, chiefly because of the stark difference in meaning between the French and French-Canadian interpretations of the term "foufounes." To locals, i.e. French-Canadians, the term is simply an endearing reference to one's posterior. However, to the French, the term is a rather explicit reference to female genitalia, which is always worth a few laughs, especially with the "electric" adjective attached. But "les Foufs," as it's called by locals, is more than just a funny name: it's ground zero for Montreal's rock-and-roll scene. The cavernous bar hosts shows from local bands as well as lots of touring shows from around the globe. Reasonable prices and a down-to-earth attitude make Foufounes popular with residents and visitors alike. $3 draft beer, $4 well drinks.  edit
  • Bar St-Sulpice, 1680 rue Saint-Denis (metro Berri-Uqam), 514-844-9458. A large bar with three floors, each with a separate vibe, and music to match. If the weather is nice you should sit in the sprawling patio in the back. edit
  • L'Amère à Boire, 2049 rue Saint-Denis (metro Sherbrooke), 514-282-7448. Fine brew pub in the Quartier Latin, the beer is consistently good. On the menu: lagers and ales inspired from Czech, German and English styles. Nice decor with wooden tables. edit
  • Le Cheval Blanc, 809 rue Ontario Est (metro Sherbrooke), 514-522-0211. Good brewpub located a few blocks East of busy rue Saint-Denis. edit
  • Cafe Hookah, 1699 St-Denis (metro Berri Uqam), 514-287-7266. Smoking fruit-flavoured tobacco in an Arabic water pipe while sipping a Grand Marnier is a fine way to spend the evening. A pipe is $6.50, you can smoke it alone or share it with a few people. They won't replace the coal though, so a pipe doesn't last very long, but they justify this by saying it makes it (comparatively) cheap to sample lots of flavours from their extensive menu. edit
