Saint-Sulpice (Le), Montreal

This converted mansion stakes a legitimate claim to "King of the Montreal Bars." Inside, each different room boasts its own unique ambience, music and furnishings, while the enormous patio in back is a glorious sight to behold on warm summer nights; empty tables on weekends are needles in an enormous haystack. Pitchers of domestic beer run around CAD15. The crowd is definitely young (few are older than 30) and predominantly French, though it has been more or less discovered by anglophone university students. No one should feel unwelcome here.
