Crescent Street (French: rue Crescent) is a southbound street located in downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Running perpendicular to Saint Catherine Street, Crescent Street descends from Sherbrooke Street south to René-Lévesque Boulevard. Crescent is home to many who visit Montreal looking for great restaurants and nightlife. The strip between St Catherines and Sherbrooke boasts many restaurants and bars as well as clubs for those visiting downtown Montreal this holiday season.

Crescent Street is a popular attraction for both tourists and locals alike. North of De Maisonneuve Boulevard, one can find many luxury boutiques and art galleries in a Victorian architectural setting. To the south of De Maisonneuve the concentration of nightclubs, bars and restaurants makes Crescent Street one of Montreal’s most well-known nightlife strips. Saint-Laurent Street became a boulevard in 1905 and is affectionately referred to as The Main by many Montrealers. It serves as the city’s physical division of east and west. Street numbers begin at Saint-Laurent and continue outward, with street names being suffixed by Ouest (West) or Est (East), depending on their orientation. Entrance to Montreal’s Chinatown, Saint-Laurent and René Lévesque Boulevard.

Saint-Laurent Street divides Montreal by language, ethnicity, and class. Saint-Laurent Street was for generations the symbolic dividing line for the city, with the predominantly English-speaking population to the west, French-speaking population to the east, and immigrant communities in between along the Main and Park Avenue. The Main runs through many of Montreal’s ethnic communities, a first stop for immigrant communities for over 100 years — initially Jewish, Chinese and Italian, and later Portuguese, Greek, Arab, Haitian and others. Old Montreal (French: Vieux-Montréal) is the oldest area in the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, dating back to New France.

Old Montreal is located in the borough of Ville-Marie, the area is usually thought of as being bounded to the west by McGill St., to the north by Ruelle des Fortifications, to the east by Saint Hubert St., and to the south by the Saint Lawrence River. Following recent amendments, the district has been expanded slightly to include the rue des Soeurs Grises to the west, Saint Antoine St. to the north and the Saint Hubert Street in the east. It also includes the Old Port of Montreal. Most of Old Montreal was declared an historic district in 1964 by the Ministère des Affaires culturelles du Québec. These are just a few of the popular tourist destinations in Montreal where visitors come to enjoy the wonderful day and night life that this great city has to offer.

Halloween! What does it really mean for you all. Here are some interesting beliefs that we would like to share with all of our visitors and readers of our blogs at www.barmontreal.com . Some of the most common beliefs held today are one that it is a Celtic tradition, secondly that Jack-O-Lanterns are meant to light the way for wayward spirits to the beyond and costumes or other scary paraphernalia are used to scare away “evil” spirits. Where most people disagree is in the nature of the worship performed by the Celts. Some believe it was a tribute to the “God” of the dead or underworld called “Samhain”,but pronounced as Sow-wen. Some right wing christians believe that there was human sacrifice involved, and that “treats” were given to buy the favour of the celtic druids, so as not to come to harm.

Others believe that it refers to the celtic new year. The end of the old year fell on what is October 30, and the new year started on November 1. October 31, then, was thought to be a day “in limbo” when the laws of nature and physics were suspended, thus the dead could walk the Earth. On this “limbo” day, people were encouraged to act in a chaotic way, and thus young ruffians wandered the streets causing mischief, or begging for food door to door.

There is also some confusion caused by the fact that the Catholic church celebrates the Feast of All Saints over a three day period which includes October 31. The word Halloween is a contraction of All Hallows Eve, a holy night which fell before All Saints Day.

No matter where you stand, but if you are out there to party then be ready because Bar Montreal is just about to reveal you some of the venues that will make your night go even crazier. Here are some of the clubs, bars, restaurants  that I strongly recommend to you guys to try-out over the week-end.

The most spoken language at home in the city of Montreal is French by 56.9% of the population, followed by English at 18.6% as of 2006 census. The official language of Montreal is French as defined by the city’s charter. Montreal is the second largest primarily French-speaking city in the world, after Paris. Although a few francophone African cities are bigger in size, notably Kinshasa, and Abidjan, these cities have fewer mother-tongue French speakers. While Montreal is situated right in the center of Canada it derives it’s culture and style from various regions of Europe. This makes this City an Ideal destination for people living in North America to experience a bit of guilt free drinking and eating that Montrealers all share. And it also give Europeans who are traveling to North America a feeling of home away from home.

During the period of Prohibition in the United States, Montreal became well known as one of North America’s “sin cities” with unparalleled nightlife, a reputation it still holds today. In part, its bustling nightlife is attributed to its relatively late “last call” (3 a.m.), a large university population, the drinking age of 18, and the excellent public transportation system combines with other aspects of the Montreal culture to make the city’s night life unique. The diversity of the clubs in Montreal attests to the popularity of its night life, with night clubs, pubs, bars and singing bars (“boîte à chanson”), Latin clubs, African clubs, jazz clubs, lounges, after-hours houses, and Dance clubs all attracting different types of customers. www.barmontreal.com was a concept that marries the internet to visitors to our fair city. The aim of the website is so that people looking for a certain type of evening can have an internet guild showing them where to find what. Boasting 45,000 hits per month we are pretty sure that www.barmontreal.com will help allot of visitors find the type of experiences that they are looking for while visiting Montreal.

Montreal is consistently rated as one of the world’s most livable cities, was called “Canada’s Cultural Capital” by Monocle Magazine and recently was named a UNESCO City of Design. The most active parts during Montreal night life are the Downtown and the Quartier Latin. Saint-Denis, which goes across the Quartier Latin, attracts a majority of the French-speaking population. Saint-Laurent (known locally as “the Main”) is also one of the most popular streets. A majority of English-speaking Montrealers frequent the western part of the Downtown, with Crescent Street being one of the most popular streets in this sector. These three streets are all crossed by Downtown’s most commercial street, Sainte-Catherine Street, which extends to its East in the heart of Montreal gay night life. www.barmontreal.com will attempt to help visitors find what they are looking for. Headed up by Faisal Choudhry President of business development we are confident that this site will become mandatory viewing before you make your next visit to this fair City.
