Roomy and sophisticated, this is one of the best-looking bars in town. It's done in British pub style, with polished mahogany, exposed brick, and a working fireplace that's a particular comfort during the 8 cold months of the year. It serves 40 single-malt scotches and more than 200 beers, 24 of them on tap, along with hearty victuals that complement the brews. Jazz duos and trios are irregularly presented, usually Friday and Saturday at 9pm, but don't plan your night around it. Large front windows provide easy observation of the busy St-Jean street life.
