Where is the best place to buy beer in Montreal(Villeray)?

Question

Any recommendations in Montreal are good but specifically I'd like to know if there are any dep's in Villeray that carry a decent selection of micros. Thanks!

Answer 1

Don't know, but why don't you buddy up with the owner of your favourite/closest independent dep and ask him/her to stock whatever you like?

I'm pretty sure my guy on Parc (even side) between Bernard and Van Horne had Le Fin du Monde. Or am I just dreaming...? I can get it at the Zurich train station though. Gawd I'm homesick. Does the Futenbulle still exist?

Answer 2

What's a micro?!?

Just go to the local supermarket - you'll find what you need there, I'm sure!

Answer 3

We have a chain corner store called Couche-Tard. [It's like Mac's Convenience store across Canada ; or like 7-Eleven's in Canada and the States] Most are usually 24hrs and they sell alcohol until a certain hour of the night. I forget until when they stop selling.

The one I found in Villeray is at...

2500 rue Jean-Talon Est, Montréal, QC, H2A 1T7

Check here for other addresses:

We do have an alcohol store called SAQ [it's like the Beer Store or LCBO in Ontario]

The one I found in Villeray is at...

1987 rue Jean-Talon Est, Montréal, QC, H2E 1T9

Check here for other addresses & you can check out what kind of beer they sell as well:

As for Dep's in Villeray...well Dep's are everywhere. I don't know every Dep in the area, you will have to drive around or walk around the area you are staying in.

Most Dep's don't carry much of a selection...it's privately own and it's up to the owners in what they want to sell. Your best bet for a good selection is at a SAQ...and then Couche-Tard.

Mind you, the SAQ does not open as late as Couche-Tard....except for the one downtown, which is a SAQ Express situated @ 1176, rue Ste-Catherine Ouest [corner Peel St.] H3B1K1  -->They are open until 10pm every night.

======================================...

A site worth checking...and it might even help lead you to more QC micros...happy drinking!
