Champs, Montreal

Aside from the regular Montreal sports bar crowd, which is especially fond of satellite NHL hockey games, this friendly two-floor barn also attracts a die-hard group of Europeans and South Americans who come for soccer, rugby and other foreign pursuits. Happy hour starts at 11p, and drink specials are available every night, along with daily specials on the above-average pub grub. Don't be satisfied with what they have on the televisions, either: if you don't see what you want, the staff will do their best to find it.
