Sky Pub, Montreal

Step down into the bottom level of this three-floor complex for a much louder and younger crowd than above. Or, step up where the ambience is more relaxed, the food delicious and the crowd diverse. A bingo evening starring Transvestite Mado is always a big hit. There is a 4p-8p happy hour weekdays and Martini Tuesdays. The music is kept at below ear-shattering decibels. Some hustling goes on, but it is subtle, so it is a good place for either cruising or spending a pleasant evening with your significant other.
