If Montreal knows how to do one thing, then it knows how to throw a party. Crescent
Street in Westmount or Saint Catherine Street near the Village are among the
liveliest - and everyone's invited.
Fun: Downtown
Much of the nightlife is packed into the area around Crescent Street. Busy
bars include Winnie's and Newtown with its terrace and
beautiful people.
Party Central: The Village
Saint-Catherine Street is the hub of the Village. Le Drugstore and Club
Unity pack in different crowds, who come together at after-hours venues such
as Circus and Mp3 Afterhours. The fashion police are out in force so
dress to impress.
Quickly becoming the area to see and be seen, Old Montreal is full of shiny cocktail
bars and clubs such as Suite 701 and the Wunderbar in the W boutique
hotel.
Montreal parties later than most other Canadian cities. Bars and clubs serve drinks
till 3am, and there are a number of after-hours clubs such as Red Lite in
Laval that go on till late morning.
Party in the Village to the huge local club hit, How Would U Feel, by
resident DJ David Morales, shop on St Denis Street to I Want Candy by Bow Wow
Wow, and rollerblade along the St Lawrence River with a burst of summertime energy
from Pump It Up by Elvis Costello.
