PHONOPOLIS

Located on trendy Bernard Avenue, in the heart of Mile End, and a stone's throw from bars and cafés that feature local bands (such as the Dépanneur Café), this independent record store promotes the local scene. Experimental rock, indie, jazz, folk, blues or world music, you'll find every musical style, even if Phonopolis specializes above all in the underground. Don't forget to take a look at the showcase which looks like a "mini-exhibition". The place also hosts events (check the website).
