Un endroit qui présente quelques contradictions : grande sélection de bières importées puissantes face à une liste de produits locaux aux saveurs un peu timides, allures de pub "classy" mais plutôt bruyant, surtout pour la musique. Cependant, le service y est excellent, la nourriture également, et la sélection au total est sinon impressionnante, du moins très satisfaisante. Un peu cher, et pas le mieux situé à Montréal, mais très agréable.

A great bar at the end of McGill. close to old Montreal. The bar is modern with a superb design, modern yet fun. The menu is Quebec terroir, with a nice spread of smoked offerings, and tapas. Service was very friendly. Beers are decent, in the process of being improved. AWill come back. Promising.

I visited this place yesterday. It’s got a nice, open, airy feeling to it, with plenty of tables and a fairly large area for bar seating. The bathrooms are unique...they’re unisex with big large heavy doors to each toilet. They had about 4 of their house beers on tap, along with about another 6-8 guest beers. They have a pretty extensive bottle list, which focuses more on imports. Some Cantillon is on the list. The food menu is pretty eclectic, and they have a good variety of tapas. I had the smoked BBQ chicken sandwich, which was perfectly done. The bread was great, and the chicken was remarkably tender. I also tried my brother’s smoked trout, which was good, but very rich and a bit too smoked. His smoked potato salad was ridiculously smoked, and overpowered everything. The house beers were definitely rushed, and all of them had a significant diacetyl component. I am going to give them a mulligan, seeing they are still learning their system, and probably can’t keep up with demand at this point. The brewer seemed to know that his beer was sub-par, and he gave us a sample of his stout, which was really good (mid to high 3’s). The staff was friendly and helpful. All in all, a good place with great potential. They need to tweak some things, and I imagine they will. I’ll definitely come back when I am back in the area in 6 months.

This future brewpub has one house beer so far, a nicely malty Golden Ale. The decor is trendy, but it fits the area, so no surprises there. The food was good, especially the smoked gaspacho; the pulled pork sandwich I also had was decent, a fitting sandwich to accompany the good brew selection from around Quebec. I’m looking forward to seeing what else the brewer can whip up. Their guest brew board gives you the impression they will NOT be a ’brew-by-colors’ brewpub, which would be a great thing.

A near empty place (it was monday night...), sophisticated decor, like the lightings, but horrible music! Why ruin the athmosphere with such lousy music, wich was an internet classic 80’s rock radio. I even recognized an Helix song! total beuurk for the athmosphere, sorry about that. tap beer menu had 8 beers, nicely selected from Dunham, Broadway pub and Charlevoix, but very pricey. Pints of 15 onces : 9$ !!! Same can be said for their mainly belgian private imports list, pricey... It’s old montreal afterall... Highlight was the food, very tasty, lots of smoked stuff. Downside, not vegetarian friendly at all. Service was kind, helpful and very professional. I hope their home-brewed beers will be good! Needs some fine tunings but it just opened, and it’s totally normal. Long life to les Soeurs Grises, but please : change the music!

Visited for the first time January 15, 2012. Located at the western end of Old Montreal, for me it’s the first brewpub in this area, although they have yet their brewing license, it’s only been two weeks that they are open. Located near the Lachine Canal, mainly parking on the street, the pub is in a modern building, the pub itself has a modern decor inspired by beer and the history of the Grey Nuns, it is not cold but warm and comfortable. It’s not very spacious looking with the low ceiling, but it is as big as most Montreal brewpub, it even has a second floor as a lounge. They don’t have there beers but they do has some nice guest taps, the food is nice to even if the menu is not big. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, especially Alain Brousseau, the co owner who work at Brouhaha as the bar manager. It is now the best place for beer in Old Montreal.

So far, before even mentioning beer, I would say that this place is simply awesome. Great food that no other brewpub in all Montreal can beat at a price that is sooo cheap. The beer selection is good, 10 lines and the bottles are coming soon, they just opened a couple days ago. I heard that there will be a great cellar aged selection ... They do not brew their own beer yet, but it’s a question of time.
