Montreal's First-Ever Official Metro Bar Map
Montreal is city full of bars.
We didn't realize this up until recently, but just like restaurants, we have more bars per capita than any other city in Canada.
So basically we like our bars and we like having them close.

That's why we decided to map out all the bars in Montreal that are located closest to each metro station.
Some stations had too many to choose from and some barely had any so we did the best we could.
Unfortunately, since this is Montreal, by the time this post get published some of these bars might already be closed. That's why we made sure to give you plenty of options.
(Note: Cover photo doesn't list every single bar to avoid clutter. For the complete list check out each Metro line individually below. Bars were chosen based on proximity only)
THE YELLOW LINE
Connecting Montreal's downtown core, the original stretch of the STM's Green Line went from Atwater to Frontenac stations. In 1976, the line was extended eastwards to Honoré-Beaugrand then westwards in '78 to Angrignon, with the former extension allowing easier access to the Olympic Stadium when the Summer Games were being held.

Honoré-Beaugrand
The most recent of Montreal's metro routes to be built, the Blue Line officially started running in 1986. The only route not to connect with Berri-UQAM, the Blue Line serves the very important function of providing fast-and-easy travel through Montreal's northern neighbourhoods. An extension for the Blue Line is currently being planned, with the four new stations potentially being built above-ground.
Édouard-Montpetit
Saint-Michel
Montreal's longest metro line, measuring 30 kilometers, the Orange Line is also the city's most-used, which makes a lot of sense since it connects so many parts of Montreal, from Laval to Old Montreal. And now, with the new AZUR trains, the Orange Line is even more appealing, with the restaurants to be found along the line notwithstanding.
Cartier
De la Concorde
Montmorency
Despite being the shortest line, and only boasting three stations, the STM's Yellow Line has always been popular. When it first opened in 1967, the Yellow Line served to take folks to Expo '67 (actually, the line wasn't even planned until the city won the bid to host the World's Fair) and Montrealers today use the route to get to the many events held at Parc Jean-Drapeau. Oh, and lets not forget all the people heading to/from Longeuil.
