Bar entertainment in Québec City

  1. A

    Le Sacrilège

    It's been around for over 10 years, but this watering hole has taken off in a big way recently and night owls start or end their revelry here most weekends. Even on Monday night, when neighboring bars are empty, it's standing room only at this one. There's a popular terrace out back - get to it through the bar or the tiny brick alley next door. To find Le Sacrilège look for the sign with a laughing, dancing monk saucily flashing his knickers.

    Pub St-Alexandre

    High ceilings and dark wood house a regular mix of tourists and loyal locals. The pub grub is fine, though generally unremarkable. It’s the atmosphere and the near encyclopedic range of suds (250 sorts!) and over three dozen types of single malt that will keep you coming back. Occasional live music (Celtic to jazz) on Friday and Saturday.

    L’Oncle Antoine

    Set clandestinely in the stone cave-cellar of one of the city’s oldest surviving houses (dating from 1754), this great tavern pours out excellent Québec microbrews (try the Barberie Noir stout or the strong Belgian-style Fin du Monde), several drafts (en fût) and various European beers.

    Turf

    Come in, grab a bowl and walk to the enormous peanut-filled barrel in the middle of the room. Swipe your fill from the barrel and settle in at one of the most popular pubs in the St-Jean-Baptiste neighborhood. It’s hugely popular with everyone in the 18-to-25-year-old range, from students to suits.

    Scanner

    Ask any local between the ages of 18 and 35 to suggest a cool place for a drink and this is where they might send you. Come see if you can figure it out. Live rock bands play every Saturday from September to May. There’s a terrace outside in summer, Foosball and pool inside year-round.

    Les Salons D’edgar

    The unofficial ‘official’ hangout for the city’s theater community. The eavesdropping here is as much fun as the drinking – you’ll be privy to conversations on roles lost and roles gained.
