    Poor thing
    Bill Z.

    Caribou is in a great section of Mont Royal, just far enough but not too far from the hubbub, with very friendly staff, comfortable inside and outside seating (outside is nicer in the summer) and of course beer. During the warmer months, the focus primarily on fruity beers and IPAs, but they try to have a little bit of everything else as well. Most beers offer different pour sizes from 5oz. to 16oz. Flights of pours are available in 6oz. glasses. Other types of drinks and cocktails are also available as well as some food options (see the menu for details). It's a few blocks from the nearest Metro station, but well worth the walk of a few blocks.

    I love this place - beer, vibe, atmosphere, location - EVERYTHING. But I'd never had the food, so this review is all about the planchette we ordered. It's not everyday you can order a little tray of goodies in a bar and discover a kind of food you've never had before! Those mushroomy looking things are SEA WHELKS (bourgots) - a kind of sea snail. Ever so sea-salty and the texture is chewy like squid. Delicious. SMOKED SCALLOPS?! Divine texture and delicate sweet taste. The rillettes were incredible. So was the smoked salmon. A smear of butter or cream to put on the bread along with the smoked salmon is the only thing I would add to this dreaminess. The price was very good for such elegance, around $24.

    I had a flight and I really liked all of the beers that I tried. I especially liked the Porter. Excellent service and I was lucky to be renting a place within walking distance. I wish they had some merchandise available to purchase but other than that no downside to my visit.

    Bartender was super knowledgeable and nice suggesting pairings and entertaining us with small banter.

    This space has had several pretty good bars in it before Pit Caribou arrived. And having enjoyed several drinks in those places, I can say with some authority that Pit Caribou is even better than what came before. We have been here twice and really enjoyed the relaxed vibe here, and the beer is quite tasty as well. During the day the space has a lot of light and if you enjoy a drink during the daytime hours I highly recommend it. The downstairs bathrooms are nicely done and add to the experience. The last time we went, we sat on a raised platform at the back on two rocking chairs which was a high-class way to knock back several pints. The only draw back is that we used to live a couple blocks away - and now we live in a different city, so becoming regulars is harder to pull off.

    Pit Caribou is a fun place for a beer. The vibe is young and lively. The service is fast and friendly. I was here just for a quick drink to kill some time. I like what they offered and their line up of beers is solid. Love the different seating options. Great for groups, couple and even single at the bar! Worth visiting if you are in the area!

    We really enjoyed our evening! This was such a chill place for a drink. Service was pretty good. The server did his best to explain some of the menu items since my French is only so-so. Nice decor: retro industrial. Dim lighting, cool fixtures,... I liked the set up of the bathrooms. Plenty of beers on tap. Variety of alcoholic drinks that aren't beers. Lots of non-alcoholic choices for those who are deemed designated drivers. Although I didn't try the food, this place is definitely worth a return visit. I would love to sit in a booth/banquette next time!

    This place is great for a nice 4 à 7 or even a full (long) evening, the service is good and there are amazing beers!!! They have great little snacks that will well accompany your beers.

    Most of us would hardly find time to travel to Gaspésie and surroundings. Well if you are in Montreal you will get some taste of it in Pit Carribou. Delicious beers. I started with a flight of four of the Pit Caribou's classic brews. You have also an option for flight of the five classics and one special, but that was a little bit too much to drink on Sunday at 5pm. Then some of us exhibited interest towards the strawberry visiting beers from Le Naufrageur, A la bourdages won the competition with Strawberry Field in my view although it is a relatively strong one. Food wise it gets even better, simple menu offering some delicious options from the same region to snack on and two beautiful platters, one of them sea food based, which is kind of rare and nice. Friendly and attentive service. Overall comfortable pub that will make every beer lover happy.

    Service was great, sour beer was a first, and bread with fish spread was delish. The crowd for watching the World Cup was friendly too.

    Lovely service and a good place to have drinks with a group of friends. I like their beer selection and their prices are surprisingly low. I had a cider and it was one of the best ones I've tasted recently. Their bathroom is so cool, I like how they came up with funky decor ideas. It's definitely a nice local place so if you're in town, you may want to check it out.

Even those with more casual interest in beer probably know that DDC makes really great drinks. And yep, they were excellent. I wasn't there to do a long session, so I got a couple tasters, one including Peche Mortal and the other a NEIPA. Two very different styles and both extremely well done. Beyond that, the space had a very old-fashioned look. Really nice wooden fixtures and a very warm, welcoming vibe. The server was also attentive and friendly, but also knew when to let people sit back and enjoy their drinks. You probably don't need me to tell you, but yes, you should go.

He expressed interest in hitting up some breweries, so I did some research and compiled a few we could potentially visit. Brasserie Dieu du Ciel was one of them, and it just so happened we were in its vicinity after our Mile End food tour concluded. That being said, we made our way over. While I am not a beer person myself, I'll have a round or two if I'm with a group, and can appreciate a good brewery. My first impression of Dieu du Ciel was just that - the vibes were on walking in. The space is pretty large - kinda separated into semi- compartmentalized spaces with tables throughout. There's not much decor, but medium-toned woods throughout which gave it a sort of upscale feel. They offer a food menu, but we were just here for drinks. They have a really wide selection of beer - again, I'm no connoisseur, but I could tell that the selection was way more than other breweries I've been to. I ended up getting a cider for the first round and a stout for my second round - both very good. Service was great, and overall we enjoyed our time at Dieu du Ciel. Their selection and comfortable setting made it a standout brewery for me out of the ones I've visited in Montreal - I wouldn't hesitate to return.

    I have discovered something extremely important about Montreal:…read more There are pubs where I am allowed INSIDE. Brutopia is practically next door to our temporary Montreal headquarters, so I suspect I will be conducting extensive research here over the next two weeks. Our first visit happened on a rainy evening, which immediately demonstrated Brutopia's greatest feature: DOGS. ARE. ALLOWED. INSIDE. Finally, a country that respects my social calendar. Brutopia is much bigger than it first appears. Once inside, there are multiple rooms with different types of seating, giving it that cozy, rambling pub feeling where you could easily find your own little corner and settle in for the evening. But despite the rain, Mum and Dad decided we should investigate the upstairs outdoor patio. Excellent decision. It's a really cool space with a huge colorful mural, hanging plants and a slightly greenhouse-y feel. Add in the fact that they sometimes have live music, and I can already tell this is going to become one of our neighborhood hangouts. Mum ordered a Caesar salad with bacon. I would like everyone to focus on one particular word in that sentence. BACON. I positioned myself appropriately. I stared. I waited. I even wore a hoodie to dinner, so frankly I don't know what more was expected of me. Meanwhile, Mum and Dad enjoyed a couple of drinks while I relaxed and took in the scene. Brutopia isn't trying to be a fancy dog restaurant with pup menus and elaborate canine amenities. What makes it special is actually more useful: I can come inside with my humans. On a rainy day--or eventually a chilly Montreal evening--that is a HUGE win for anyone traveling with a dog. And since we're staying practically next door... I believe I have found my local. Dogba's verdict: 5 paws out of 5. Dogs allowed INSIDE: Rain ruining our plans: NOT TODAY Cool upstairs patio: Giant mural: excellent backdrop for important dogs Live music potential: noted Drinks for Mum & Dad: plentiful Bacon on Mum's Caesar salad: I saw it. Distance from temporary headquarters: dangerously convenient Would return. In fact, considering the location, there is a very strong possibility that I now work here.

We were originally over by the Jean-Talon Market, and since we were staying downtown we wanted to find somewhere on our way back. Brutopia fit the bill, so off we went. I really liked the vibes as soon as we entered - the place isn't too large, but still spacious enough to have two semi-split up rooms. We stayed in the front room that housed the bar, some tables, as well as a small stage where (I assume) live music plays. The decor had somewhat of a music theme, as one of the walls was covered in pictures of famous artists. We had a round - I'm not the biggest beer person but had a cider which was good. We also split a poutine - we opted for the popcorn chicken one which was tasty. Everyone was really friendly, and we were even talking it up with a fellow patron who was also from New York. Service was great, and although it was only a short stay, I had a good experience at Brutopia. I wouldn't hesitate to return next time I'm in the area.

I'm not much of a beer person so I passed, but did partake in the poutine. It was pretty good, though I wouldn't say it was too noteworthy. I have now had poutine from several places in the city, and this would be middle of the road for me. It was tasty and quality, but nothing too exciting. I don't really fault them though, as poutine is not the star of the show here. Service as good - overall I had a fine experience at Siboire. I need to return to explore more of their menu - and possibly a beer.
