Country & Western Bars

[strings]

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know of a country and western club in or around Montreal that has live bands playing? I used to go to Spurs on St. Jacques west, a few blocks west of Amazones but they recently closed. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

You're both looking for The Wheel Club in NDG. Monday night is Hillbilly Night there. In addition, Craig Morrison's band, Vintage Wine, often plays hits of the '50s there.

I don't know if Matt Large still runs the Sunday night bluegrass jam at Barfly on St. Laurent... Maybe...

Love old style country....Cash, Jennings, Twitty, Robbins, etc. Love Randy Travis & Alan Jackson. Love classic rock from the 70s and 80s. Love Guns n' Roses, Eagles, Van Halen (before Hagar). If there's a bar out there that would provide this type of entertainment, i'd be a happy cowboy. Not much interested in 50's & 60's as far as live acts go.

Thanks Rumples, i'll check it out.

I've seen Vintage Wine a couple of times and can recommend them highly. I've never been to Hillbilly Night as I'm rarely in Montreal on Mondays.

Do you know what the age groups are for the different nights? Thanks again.

 

[rumpleforeskiin]

I do not. Sorry.

Very nice old time country. Great guitar. Sweet harmonies.

Vices et Versa

IMHO, this is the second best craft beer bar in Montreal

All the beer there is Quebec produced

Many different styles

Decent sized space, with a backyard terrace ( perhaps too cold now )

I am guessing he'll answer...

Dieu du Ciel

I was at the Vices on Thursday. Good beer. Huge Selection. Very busy.
Lots of smokers still on the terrace.

But I still can't find a "craft" beer as good as St. Ambroise Cream Ale...

I'm not sure that anything from Mcauslan would be considered "craft," but rather microbrew. Craft beers are, if I understand correctly, brewed in much smaller batches.

This is a ?'n for the King of all things Beer, Smuler. If anyone would know it would be him.

My point was that the McAuslan Cream Ale is a great tasting beer. The N2 bubbles so smooth.

The craft beers at Dieu and Vices all seem just a little too "craft" for me.

Sour, excessively hoppy, too many IPAs.

Like when your buddy made his first batch of home brewed beer...

Hi all

Can a mod split this away from the country western bar topic please

I will throw in my 2 cents about local beer tomorrow

Best Regards
