Terrasses Bonsecours
Quais Du Vieux-Port, Montreal, QC H3C 2W3Where better to enjoy sangria than in the Old Port? Not to mention at one of the sexiest terraces in town. Did we mention they even have a tapas menu? How can you go wrong?! They’ve been around for 4 years now and they are open 7 nights a week with different themes each night. Check out their champagne and strawberry sangria – it’ll definitely add to the charm and good feelings.
El Zaz Bar
4292 St Denis St, Montreal, QC H2J 2K9If you’re looking for a casual refuge, look no further than this second floor bar on St Denis. Great for people watching with their large open windows that allow you to see all the unique flavors of Montreal pass by. Nothing says summer like inexpensive booze. All the better if they come in pitcher format, right?
SKY Club

Diablos BBQ Smokehouse
1693A Saint Denis St Montreal, QC H2X3K4Fun fact: they devote an entire 2 pages to sangria. This must mean they mean alcoholic business. Depending on what’s your flavor they’ll definitely have something to quench your thirst.

Pub Saint-Ciboire

Vices et Versa
6631 Boulevard Saint-Laurent, Montréal, QC H2S 3C5Nothing is more refreshing than their strawberry sangria. Simply irresistible. Their intimate terrasse covered in vines makes this micro-brewery a must go to summer destination. This is good old fashion sangria with no shishipoo.

Jardin Nelson
Savor their sangria as you listen to sweet jazz tunes on their inside garden. As the name suggests, this restaurant makes you feel like you’re inside a garden. No need to bring an umbrella they’ve got you covered!
