Join us today, 22 April, at Bily Kun (354 Avenue Mont Royal Est)

A cheerfully hip energy pervades this extremely popular Plateau Mont-Royal bar, rated as one of Montreal's top 10. The decor is thoroughly unique; it's sort of a "Prague cafe" theme accentuated by ostrich heads poking out of the walls, high ceilings and excellent music (live during the days, DJs every night). Youngish journalists and other left-of-center professionals enjoy very reasonably priced microbrews (including the full line of Cheval Blanc beers), and it's usually packed. The name is pronounced "Billy Coon."
