Head over to this unassuming wine bar, which is discreet enough for an intimate date and trendy enough for a 5 à 7. Their innovative space (with an eye-catching chandelier made of crystal champagne flutes and wine glasses) spans three floors and fills up with a local, after work crowd during the week and stylish 20 and 30-somethings on the weekend.

If you’re looking to spend the evening on Mount-Royal Avenue, paying a visit to Bily Kun (which translates to white horse) is definitely a must. Its inviting decor goes a long way with dim lighting, high ceilings, and great seating options – that is before it fills up. Don’t be startled by the row of ostrich heads on the wall gazing down at you!

Opened by Texas native Nick Hodge and Montreal-born Nathalie Doucet, Icehouse is just that: A marriage between Texas and Montreal. The tiny, shack-like Tex-Mex eatery made up of picnic tables and a terrace for summer serves up tacos, burritos, fried chicken, and homemade sauces. There are no plates here – so don’t be afraid to dig in and get messy.

Big in Japan is unlike any other establishment on The Main’s nightlife scene. Confused passer-bys are often spotted staring with curiosity as its nondescript entrance is nothing more than a crimson-coloured door adorned with Japanese letters. Once past the heavy curtains that surround the space, you will find yourself transported to another era.

Inspired by owner Alexandre Baldwin’s pharmacist grandmother, whose framed photo is up on the wall, this spot is discreetly tucked on Laurier street. The space’s sixties design is trendy yet contemporary: Glass syrup bottles lining the back shelves of the bar give the place a pharmaceutical feel while sharply dressed waiters add to the retro vibe.
