The Formula One Grand Prix weekend is one of Montreal’s most anticipated annual events. There are street festivals, car exhibits and parties that attract tourists and celebrities from around the globe. One of the most famous events is the Crescent Street Festival. Check out these bars close to all the action.
Located on Stanley, Club La Boom offers three divided rooms, each designed with a unique concept and décor. For Grand Prix, they’ll be hosting parties on Friday and Saturday night. Tickets are available in advance to avoid line-ups.
Located a stone’s throw away, on De La Montagne, Rosalie offers Italian fare in a trendy lounge ambiance. For Grand Prix, be sure to check out their terrace, as well as Galt, their lounge on the third floor, which features a whiskey bar.
If you’re looking for a low-key evening, or maybe even a breather from the fast-paced Grand Prix festivities, then look no further than Hurley’s Irish Pub, located on Crescent, below Sainte-Catherine. They often have live music and they boast a wide selection of beers on tap.
If you’re looking to relive your youth, then head to Club Electric Avenue, where you’ll hear to best tunes from the ‘80s and ‘90s. The floor-to-ceiling bright lights will surely liven up your evening.
Stogies offers a unique upscale, yet laid-back atmosphere in the Crescent Street cigar lounge. Enjoy a martini, or a fine scotch with one of their many rare cigars. It's not as loud or as hectic as some of the other Crescent hotspot, but it's a great place to enjoy some fine liquor, and good conversation with friends.
