The best neighborhood bars Canada

Double's is inspired by the dive bar, a type of bar that comes to us from the United States, small, dark and a little gloomy. Here, we've kept the atmosphere and the small, dark room, but it's not shabby at all. On the contrary, the semi-basement space attracts all the hip locals. With a pool table, jukebox and sports on the screens, there's plenty to get you through the evening. And from the counter, you can order a smash burger or a cocktail from the small but efficient menu. You're truly immersed in the USA... with a Montreal twist, of course.

This friendly café-bar in The Danforth is located on the first floor of The Only Backpacker's Inn. It's a favorite spot for travelers and locals alike to start the day off right with a tasty coffee and a sweet treat. While the atmosphere is rather quiet during the day, the place takes on a festive air in the evening. It also offers a nice selection of craft beers, as well as a few events over the weeks, including musical performances. Mention should be made of the superb back terrace.

During the day, you come and sit there with your computer or a good book, enjoying a coffee or some pastries from the Autumn bakery, or simply to watch the people in a hurry passing by on the boulevard, behind the large bay windows. In the evening, the atmosphere is subdued, you order a glass of wine, many if the evening is good, and you let yourself be tempted to share a plate of 100% Quebec products. The Darling opened its doors in March 2017 and quickly won over the residents of the neighbourhood and elsewhere.
