Bars and Nightlife
Montreal's nightlife keeps going into the small hours of the morning, and its bars and clubs cater for everyone - from the students of the Quartier Latin and the punks who hang out on the corner of Ste-Catherine and St-Denis, to the anglophone yuppies of rue Crescent. The places listed here are the best of the bunch and are open until 3am unless stated otherwise. Always tip the bar staff - the perks constitute the main whack of their wages. Many bars have regular music nights, with jazz being especially popular. Other than the bars, there are numerous venues in the city, with top-name touring bands playing at the new Centre Molson and the Olympic Stadium. For up-to-date information , the Mirror ( www.montrealmirror.com ) and Hour ( www.afterhour.com ) are free English weekly newspapers with excellent listings sections. The English-language daily The Montreal Gazette also carries comprehensive listings - the Friday weekend guide is particularly good. Montreal Scope , available in tourist information offices and the better hotels, is primarily for mainstream tourists.
