All the pubs, clubs and bars in the centre are good. There's something for everyone and the people are really friendly. Montreal is definitely worth a visit and it only takes two hours to get there by bus!

You can't miss the bars by the Market at night... Check out Fathers and Son's, the pub located west of the Law building, equally famous for late night chicken wings and continental breakfasts!
