Originally a local dive for Saint-Henri residents, Bar de Courcelle was renovated in 2013 while retaining much of its original charm. With a history spanning over 50 years, this spot offers a nostalgic period aesthetic reminiscent of '60s and '70s destinations, complete with vintage textures and materials. Patrons here enjoy tall bottles of beer, classic cocktails, and comfort food in a relaxed setting. The menu includes draft beers, bottled selections, curated wines, and cocktails. It’s a laid-back hangout during the day and a lively venue at night, featuring DJs, live bands, and open mics. All in all, it’s a beloved neighborhood institution where locals and visitors alike gather to enjoy its conviviality.
