Pigeon Espresso Bar Montreal
Odd name. great coffee
Whether coincidence or intentional, you can find a concentration of coffee shops within the Atwater and Guy-Concordia metro stop area, with new ones seeming to pop up all the time. From chain shops to standalone cafés, all types are represented, which, truth be told, makes sense with a university nearby. Who needs coffee more than frazzled students cramming for exams? Walk along De Maisonneuve West near the corner of Bishop and you’ll bump into Pigeon Espresso Bar, a little place with a big impact.
A narrow and small place, it’s perfect for a stop-and-go, you know, those times you’re in a hurry but need that caffeine. They make the most of their space, filling their high ceiling with greenery and a simple yet effective hand-drawn image of a pigeon on the wall making the shop memorable. The maple latte I had was more than satisfying and will definitely come back for more.

Theatre Fairmount
Spaceship with music
It's quite interesting because it's all in length, with a stage in the middle to the right & a bar on the left side stretched on almost half of the space.

Le bar A
A real local bar
There is a neighbourly atmosphere that defines this tiny but very charming bar. The bar list is very basic but covers the essentials.

Finish him! Me-style kick! Hadouken! Shoryuken! If you’re familiar with these phrases, odds are that you're a gamer, or at least played a video game or two in your life.

Saint Sushi Bar
Wanna eat some Marvin Gaye sushi?
"Saint Sushi Bar" in Montreal is not a traditional Japanese sushi restaurant - rather, its focus is on playful, hiphop, 'gangsta' reinterpretations.
