Brasserie Cherrier is the definition of a neighbourhood classic—warm, unpretentious, and very Montreal. Tucked away on the Plateau since the 1930s, it’s a local institution where regulars gather to watch the Habs, sip a cold one, and settle in for a game or two. The crowd leans older and predominantly francophone, adding to the no-frills, old-school vibe that’s all about good company and easy conversation. Beer selection may be limited to a handful of Canadian staples and the odd import, but nobody here seems to mind. With its welcoming, familiar energy, Brasserie Cherrier is where you go to feel like you’re part of the city, whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth.
