Le Cheval Blanc
Brewpub: 1940s style
Bucking the brewpub fashion, beerbrewing paraphenalia is barely on view at this microbrewery, which still sports the same Art Deco look as the premises had in the 1940s.
As one of Montreal's original microbrewers, it knows its stuff really well and all its dozen or so beers are well worth a try. Many other bars in Montreal agree and serve Cheval Blanc beers on tap.
For all its beerbrewing prowess and pedigree this is an unpretentious place that caters to a mixed crowd.
Look out too for excellent guest beers from around Quebec.
809 Ontario St E, Montreal, QC H2L 1P1 (Metro: Berri/UQAM).
Daily 3pm–3am (1am Sun & Mon)
