Brutopia is proof that Crescent Street isn’t just about cheap shots and student bar crawls. This long-standing brewpub has been crafting its own beer since before the city’s craft scene exploded, offering a lineup that veers from classic pints to playful experiments—Raspberry Blonde, Brit Tea, and Bluet among them. Spread across three floors with as many bars and terrasses (one heated year-round), it’s a spot that suits any kind of night, whether you’re settling in for a happy hour pint, catching live music with no cover charge, or taking your chances at Montreal’s longest-running open mic. Sustainability is baked into their brewing, sourcing malt from local farms and giving spent grain a second life as livestock feed. The menu leans globally inspired, with a mix of vegetarian-friendly plates and pub staples done right. Whether you’re new to craft beer or a regular with a favourite stool, Brutopia delivers on quality without the fuss.
