There certainly isn't a shortage of bars here in Montreal, with a new spot popping up every other week. But while there are plenty of options when it comes to bars in Montreal, that doesn't mean they all deserve your attention. Your time is precious, after all, and should only be spent at the best establishments.

With that kind of vanity in mind, we decided to compile a list of Montreal bars you won't simply want to go to once, but will feel the strong need to come back to again and again. No doubt you've been to a few of these spots, and if you have, let this serve as a reminder that you need to return.
