Great pub. Andrew had been here before so knew where to go. The inside pub part looks like your typical pub. Bar, wood, beer. There is a good selection of local and Belgian beer here. Something for everyone. The part that makes this different is the outside courtyard. The walls are all and brick and like being in a castle. I wanted to come back and check it out in the dark because it looks like it might have some cool lighting. We didn't make it this time, next time for sure! Just to add for service, order at the bar, pay, take it to your table. There appeared to be only one dude working here when we visited. read more

We are going to try and remember as much as we can about this one... We're not sure if it's because it was a Tuesday but alcohol definitely flowed and it was surprisingly inexpensive! So, it flowed a lot. But, we did not need to be inebriated to appreciate this downtown europeen style pub and its beautiful oasis among the concrete. A creative and gorgeous terrasse (probably one of the best in Montréal) between buildings covered in vines make you forget your surroundings. Add in prompt friendly service and a metalcore vocalist night manager and you get a very memorable night. ( unless you overdo it and can't remember the name of his band... Damn ) read more

The best thing about this European-styled pub is the outdoor patio which has the feel of a hidden garden with its high walls covered with climbing vines. From the street, you would never guess you would find this gorgeous terrace on the other side! It is a wonderful ambience from which to enjoy drinks during nice weather. With several microbrews to choose from, good service, and a relaxing vibe, it ended up being one of our favorite spots to check out during our trip to Montréal! read more

Pub le Sainte-Élisabeth - Pubs Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Do I need to say anything about Le Sainte-Elisabeth other than it's one of my favourite terraces in the city? Walk through the bar to the back and you're transported into another world. We came here after dinner for a couple of drinks (and shots - not my idea!). This place has it all - charming, great atmosphere and friendly bilingual staff. This is what I would call my happy place. Always busy every time I go. Tons of people out enjoying a perfect Sunday evening. - Boreale beer ($5.00) - beer is cheap but they have a better-than-you think selection of drinks. Gorgeous weather, good conversation and great ambiance, St-Elisabeth can't be beat. read more

What a hidden gem of a place. If I hadn't seen the pictures beforehand, I would have been even more taken aback when going into their beautiful terrace. You can't image such as place when you look at the front of the bar which basically looks like a hole in the wall. You are transported into another world with the most lush greenery cascading down tall walls. Aside from the spectacular surroundings, the beer was cheap. The service was great considering how crowded the place was. A must visit if you are in Montreal. read more

Great atmosphere, good music, good beer selection, and just a super chill and chic place to hang out with a date or some friends! The main attraction is the huge outdoor space in the back of the bar. There is alike a 12-foot wall surrounding the entire space with beautiful mossy and leafy plants that grew all over the walls that just add to the majesty of the space. We went when it was starting to get a bit colder no worries because between every few tables was a heater that helped to keep the patrons warm while we drank to our heart's content! At the bar, we tried the Snack Bite - which was a pleasantly surprising and delicious concoction. I would definitely come back for either brunch or some food next time and hang out potentially during the day time! Would definitely recommend! read more

4 stars in the summer on the terrasse and well, lower when not. But really, what a lovely hidden spot. If you've never been here before you'll doubt you're on the right track, but yes, past Foufounes and all the grit and graffiti and closed doors of this bit of St Catherine, up what feels like a dead end alley, and through a small barely marked door and you;re there. A regular old pub that opens onto an completely enclosed terrasse with ivy-covered stone walls stretching up the floors above you towards the sky, lots of seating, wooden benches, high-school era tunes, friendly easy going service, a perfect place to forget how old you are and what time it is and just enjoy. This will help you enjoy the food too which is not bad, but not good pub delivery from a nearby joint. Inside is fine, just a cozyish pub with the occasional good open mic night. read more

Pub le Sainte-Élisabeth - Pubs Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I love this place! Their back patio is walled in all 4 sides by 4 storey brick buildings, which are covered by vines. There are trees and lots of seating. But get there early because on most nights it fills up quickly. You are in the heart of Montreal, just of Ste Catherines but when you're on the "terrasse" at the Ste Elizabeth you feel transported to another world. They have lots of beers on tap (my favs are Boreal Blanche, Kilkenny and Rickards Red) and the service is great. I never got to the bottom of my pint before the waitress was over with an offer for another drinks. This is my favourite place to drink in Montreal in the summer. FYI they don't take debit. Only cash or credit. read more

Pub le Sainte-Élisabeth - The terrace - Pubs Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

This place has one of the coolest backyards ever. But I'm not telling you anything the other 80 reviews haven't mentioned. We were a large group, so it was hard to get seated in the yard, so we first went upstairs (there are tables overlooking the yard, but it's all enclosed). They had a good beer selection upstairs, but it was pretty dead up there, so we went back downstairs. Downstairs was a bit livelier, but we eventually were able to slowly sit down outside at the behest of an interesting mother/daughter pair. Story for a different time. All you need to know is they play... interesting music (lots of early 2000s alternative rock, for some reason), they're known for their Blood Caesar (which is delicious), and the waitresses are super cool. Not exactly a place to go for dancing, and it can get a bit rowdy, but just overall a nice place to relax outside. I still don't understand how that wall is so high though. It was like something out of Game of Thrones. read more

This bar features one of the coolest patios in Montreal. We had made some new friends while at the Arcade Fire concert and after the show they helped us navigate our way out of the park via the metro. They suggested we go to this bar for a nightcap. A few nights before while walking around we tried without luck to find this bar, not realizing the entrance was down a small alley. It was fate that we ended up here a few nights later. We went directly to the patio and found one of the last remaining tables, and a waitress came over right away and took our drink order. The drinks which were strong were also fairly inexpensive. It doesn't get much better than good drinks, at affordable rates while surrounded by old school architecture with awesome company. This is a bar that I would frequent if only I lived close enough. I am so glad we were with locals that evening and finally got to see this place. If you find yourself in the area and the weather is nice I suggest you check this place out for yourself. read more

Pub le Sainte-Élisabeth - The terrasse can't be beat - Pubs Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

There is nothing not to like about this place. great location next to the University. very affordable drinks. (haven't tried to food, but the selection is fairly basic, pizza, calamari, wings, etc.). The patio in the back is completely walled in with this high ivy covered back and a tree and hanging lantern in the middle. I might model my backyard after this place. read more

Another hidden gem in Montreal for English Montrealers. While it's hidden off on a side street from Ste-Catherine in a part of town which isn't far from the red light district, it seems mostly UQaM students primarily know about this place. Amazing terrasse, completely enclosed on all four sides with ivy growing over the walls and long elegant trees interspersed between the tables. Great micro-beer selection and very friendly service. I have also heard it's quite the cozy spot in the winter with the fireplace ablazin' and plush leather chairs. If it served a few more snacks and pub grub, it would be perfect! read more

We walked into this place by accident (we were seeing a Just For Laughs show directly across the street and were early so we looked across the street and saw a pub) and we were sooooo surprised by what we walked into. Inside is quite small but ridiculously gorgeous. Honestly, it's charming and beautiful but does not seat many people. Very friendly bar staff, perfectly bilingual, easygoing. Just what you want when going into a pub for the first time. The outdoors is fabulous, seats tons of people and you totally forget where you are in the city with the walls and the greenery. Prices are great, staff was lovely. I'd go again any day. read more

Pub le Sainte-Élisabeth - Pubs Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

What a fantastic spot for a drink in the summer. We originally sat inside, which is your standard cozy Irish pub. Dark wood and tables kind of close together. We went upstairs and sat in a sort of solarium room for a bit until we noticed the patio empty out a bit. The patio is what makes this spot great. It's a magical spot squeezed inside four tall brick walls covered in vines. There's a big tree in the corner. Servers come out with amazing regularity and serve drinks on a cash and carry basis. The prices are pretty good, too, considering the location. read more

I don't know why but i keep forgetting about the Sainte Elisabeth. Be this because it's tucked away on an adorable sidestreet or because each of my visits have been so relaxing and hassle-free, i do not know. However, i have been both in summer and in winter and enjoyed myself immensely every time. As with most of my Montreal favourites, what i like about this venue is its multiculturality. Located right next to UQAM but still just a hop-skip-and-jump from the Plateau and swarms of McGill students, the crowd is thoroughly bilingual and tables frequently switch between languages. What could be more typically Montreal than this? The inner-courtyard is just fabulous. At least fifteen feet high, the walls are covered in ivy and at night the lights create a homey glow - i half expect little fairies to pop up at any moment. Even on windy days (like yesterday), one can enjoy the terrasse protected from the cool breezes but in the shade. Although yesterday i was cursing this (i am trying to stop smoking), as the courtyard is unroofed you can smoke freely - but the air still circulates. Of course, we only have about three months of the year when outdoor drinking is feasible, but an excellent selection of beers with daily specials, friendly wait staff, clean washrooms and comfy benches make the indoor experience equally pleasurable. A word to the wise, however - some online reviewers mention great food. There is no kitchen at the Sainte Elisabeth - they order in the food from the outside. Hence, i have never ordered the food myself. Too close to other great venues (like Frite Alors) to be worth chancing it! read more

Pub le Sainte-Élisabeth - Cool place - little hard to find - Pubs Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Kickass bar, no complaints, except that we only had about an hour to spend there. We were nuggets for beer, ended up here. Got some white ales with orange slices, tasty and refreshing and light. Got a taste of a friend's Leffe, tasty and thick and smooth and wonderful. Our friends forgot to tip the bartender before we got there, and we *still* got service. How much better can it get? The noise level is completely manageable. And the answer to the most dire question of all: yes, the fire in the fireplace is real, it's just gas-burning. You're both right. read more

The service here was AWFUL. We waited for a long time to get service, finally when someone came around to take our order the waitress was extremely rude and refused to serve us water and snapped at us. I have never been spoken to like that and will be sure to alert my friends and make sure that no one returns here. Never again. read more

I'll get the "positive" out of the way, which seems to be the outdoor patio if you believe all the reviews about it. It's ok I guess, if you like to be enclosed between 4 giant walls covered with vines. I've definitely seen better elsewhere. The waitress was very rude, and we're usually pretty chill about service so it takes a lot for me to say this. I think she replied "We're a pub, we do beer" at least 4 times when we asked for other shit THEY HAVE IN THEIR MENU. She agreed to make one whisky sour, which came with a dead spider in it. Amazing. As for their beer selection, absolutely nothing to rave about; since that's "what they do", I would have expected much better. Just avoid this spot. read more

This place used to be good. I'd been here at least six times before, without a complaint.... Then the service went to the dogs. The last time my three friends and I went was after a free show in the Quartier des Spectacles-- the place was packed, but we managed to snag a table that had just been vacated by a group of six on the terrace. The slightly frazzled barmaid approached us, greeted us in French, started taking our order and promptly detected we were English (though all bilingual, and responding to her in French, without a second thought).... And which point her attitude went from acceptable to horrifying. She rudely told us that we were far too many for the table because she 'could not pass' (bear in mind that this terrace is un-navigatable on any given night *and* we were four at a table just vacated by six). We civilly tried to come to some sort of understanding (IE- reshuffling ourselves to allow her a wider lane)... But she would not be swayed and continued to speak to us in the same unacceptable manner. It got to the point that she called the manager over to have us thrown out of the bar (for being 'unruly'-- the manager would not allow us an explanation). If I had to hazard a guess, it's because we were anglophone. I truly can't think of any other reason for that sort of treatment or the Jekyll and Hyde act. I, nor my friends have never been rude to service people in our lives. And believe me... none of us, nor the rest of our friends will ever return to an establishment that treats potential (and local) paying customers with such xenophobic contempt. read more

This bar is renowned for the beautiful terrace in the back but isn't my favourite tbh. It is always full out in the terrace so you will get a hard time getting a table. You'll get more luck inside but it really isn't the same thing at all. You get a lot of students or a younger crowd and that's cool but the service tend to be quite nonchalant if you ask me. Beers are good though... read more

Hole in a wall turned out to be a gem. This place is amazing, theres a big sign outside but them its hard to figure out which door it is. Inside its classy w a real hip vibe outside on the walled in outdoor patio. Place is full of hipsters, too cool for school for real, not in a corny way at all. Hard to describe, its probably one of the only places around that looks like locals hang out at, everything else around is tourist. read more

Pub le Sainte-Élisabeth - Pubs Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Stopped in here after looking for a place to warm up after walking on a chilly night in Montreal. First, the atmosphere was good for those of us that are no longer 20 somethings but not quite 40 somethings. There was a great mix of ages. There is a beautiful fireplace to warm you up. The seating is cramped but that is to be expected at pub. The four star rating is because it was loud, the music (popish a mix in French and English) made having a conversation nearly impossible. The beer was good (we had Keith's on special), they offered pub fare food, but we did not eat any, and I didn't see any delivered to tables. Waitstaff was attentive even in the very busy atmosphere. read more

I might be alone in this, or maybe I was there at the wrong time, but I wasn't that impressed. Our waitress was very ditzy, I asked her if they had any Dutch beers to which she replied "We do, I'll get you the menu", I'll spoil the surprise..they don't. Their beer selection is pretty..meh, besides lacking Dutch beer they also only have two (?) German beers..boo. On top of that the import beers are $8/pint. The rest of the evening it was rather hard to get our waitress' attention when we needed a refill. The vines are neat though. read more

This is a true gem. The location is off the beaten path but close at the same time. Its also in an interesting part of town which can look dangerous at first glance but is actually very safe. You will do a double take upon entering this place from its front facade....you'll see. It has an amazing courtyard with extremely high walls all around creating its own little microcosm. The staff and clientele are an eclectic mix of young French Quebecers and servers may not speak English well, so don't try explaining what a Sam Adams is. The Frenchies tried hard to hide this place from English Montrealers, but its been found! read more

I made the mistake of going upstairs first, and for about a half hour couldn't figure out what all the excitement was about this place. When I came downstairs I totally got it - it would be a pretty standard dive, but the crazy tall outer wall surrounding the terrace covered in ivy (or something like it?) also makes you feel like you're in your own private garden. Booze -They have a full bar, but what I really enjoyed was the selection of microbrews from Boreale & Alexander Keith's. The beers are pretty cheap, I want to say about $6/20oz for any of the microbrews. Crowd - It's packed in just the right way - not too tough to find a table, but still consistently almost full. The crowd is mixed, but overall skews young-ish (think mid-20's). Service - The waitresses are always outrageously busy, and won't always start a tab for you. Don't let this deter you - just keep it in mind when you're thinking about waiting to order your next beer. Music - Upstairs they were playing a weird mix of 90's alt rock tunes, but down at the terrace it's more of an indie vibe. But really, the most important thing here is the overall atmosphere. You just have to see this terrace. It's amazing. Combine that with a bunch of young happy people having a cheap beer and you've won my heart. Even though this would be a pretty cool spot regardless, there's something really special about getting that feeling like you're in your own little world somewhere. read more

It's a great place in the summer, I don't know about winter-I've never been. I only go there because the terrace is magnificent (and not too crowded considering it's down town because it's still a bit of a hidden place). The crowd is nice too. The service is fast and the prices are good. It's cozy and welcoming. Definitely a must go in Montreal. read more
