Crobar

One of the grimiest bars in downtown Montréal. They got a live stage here and 2 floors and a backdoor outside terrace. This bar comes off divey and a metal bar. Lot of metal bands play here. Drinks here are cheap and the service is fine.

Now let me make this clear, this place is grungy. You’re likely to fall on the stairs, you need to turn sideways to get into the stall of the ladies room, and the lights on top of the pool table are duct taped into place.
That being said, there’s a nice side room for groups on the first floor, a stage for shows or random jamming (also open mic nights) the pool table is $ 1 a game and functional but there’s only one cue. There’s also an enclosed back terrace.
I’ve only ever stopped in on two occasions so I could say I went to my friends show. Until yesterday I didn’t even know there was a second floor. The owner was awesome and let my friends use the stage and instruments to jam at the end of the night. We chilled, played pool, were allowed to connect our own music into the speakers upstairs and it was actually really fun. I wouldn’t go when it’s full but people, but for some friends catching up and playing pool it was spot effing on.

By far the worst looking bar I’ve ever set foot in. It looks like someone took two 3 ½ apartments and made them have a threesome with a dead hobo. Glory holes and peeping holes in the bathroom, stairs that have alarming cracks, balcony in shambles, etc.
Prices are decent though and staff is okay. Last time I went there and I tried playing pool, one of the ceiling lamps fell on the pool table and interrupted my game. Also saw a girl fall down the stairs and after puking on them.
Cheap beer though.
