Montreal Sports Bar

Submitted by dzemnick on
I am going to be up in Montreal for the weekend and I am looking for a sports bar to watch the UM/MSU game.   Any suggestions?  Is there a UM alumni group up there?

Or I should say lived, since I live north of the city now.  Anyways, the only place I know that I used to go to is Champs on St-Laurent boulevard.  Some saturdays, you get 8-10 TVs with College football.  Others, you get one TV with College Football and 9 others with fuckin' South American Soccer, especially since they changed ownership a while ago (or so I was told).  So I suggest you call ahead of time and ask them.  Never a problem with NFL on sundays though, they have all of the games.

No idea on alumni group.    I'm not one.

I'd invite you over... but I don't know you, and chances are you're not a good looking chick with low standards, sorry.

Ok - here's the deal with Montreal, as I have spent some time up there during football season.

 

If it's on ABC up there, you're good.  It'll be on at Peel's, or wherever else has a TV.  If it's on ESPN2 - you're in rough shape.  They usually get ESPN1, so to speak, but it is tough to find anyplace that will offer the ESPN2.  

Bottom line, unfortunately, is that I have been unable to find anyplace that carries ESPN2 while I was up there.  Perhaps you'll have better luck.
