Accustomed to long, cold and snowy winters, Montrealers know how to enjoy a hot sunny day: with a cold beer at one of the city's numerous open-air terraces. What a view! Here are some suggestions.
At the Tokyo Bar on Rue Saint-Laurent, they don't half-terrace it. This immense terrace is heated and home to BBQ'ed food that will tickle even the most demanding of palates. Feel like dancing? Bring your best shoes and step inside. Just make sure you can digest it all!
The Hôtel et Suites Place d’Armes rooftop terrace offers truly incomparable views of Old Montreal, Downtown, and the Place d'Armes square. You can have dinner, share a meal with a lover or friends, and stay up late. Very late. On weekends, the venue is open until 3am. That’s how you make summer last even longer!
With rue Saint-Paul on one side, and Old Montreal and the majestic St. Lawrence River on the other; what more can one ask for when sharing a cocktail or tasty meal with friends, colleagues, or lovers? This cozy terrace can hold a hundred guests. All that’s left is to order a Sangria, Cosmo, or Pink Watermelon Rosé.
Six for 6th floor: this is where the Montreal Hyatt Regency terrace is located; the ideal place to enjoy the many festivals the city is privy to. You’ll find it in the heart of the Quartier des spectacles, where all the action happens. But no need to celebrate: you can go there to relax with a glass of red wine.
Club Sky offers the gay and lesbian community a venue that is "different and inviting", and its terrace is no exception. The huge rooftop boasts a pool, spa, restaurant, and mini-bars. Having everything on hand is necessary to enjoy the view of downtown and south-east Montreal.
