Brutopia

I like how this place feels on many levels. First because it is a proper brewery in the heart of town, but also for the casual vibe and local community that connects with the bar. As a traveler and a regular (how’s that even possible) - every time I need a proper craft beer and a burger in downtown - there’s no better place.

Haven't been here in ages, I was walking down Ste Catherine on a rainy afternoon and figured why not, for old times sake. One of the oldest brewpubs in town, and definitely the one with the most "worked in" feel. I wouldn't go so far as to call it divey, but it has history, that's for sure. I had stopped patronizing here because the beers were sometimes off, either too buttery, astringent, oxidized or otherwise just "off". I don't know if it's the heat, nostalgia or a new brewer but this time around my pint of classic IPA was pretty tasty. It's comforting to know that when everyone else is doing hazy beers, this beer is still available. Service and ambiance has always been great here, I just hope the beer quality stays like this.

Brutopia is one of the coolest and best breweries in Montreal Downtown for reasons more than one... They brew some amazing collection of beers (especially English blonde, pumpkin spice and pineapple brew) that one must enjoy whenever in downtown Montreal. Plus, Chris, who's the owner of the place is an amazing host, very friendly and warm. Great place with great beer and great people around!!! ❤️🍻🍻🍻 If you ever go there because of my review, just say Hi to Chris on my behalf 😀🙂 Regards, Guru

Brutopia is one of Montreal's finest microbreweries that also offers live music and a unique ambiance. Food is decent & prices are fair. Located near the Bell center and a multitude of other great pubs, grab a pint before or after a Habs game and catch some live music. Then commence your shameless pub crawl on Crescent Street. Cheers. 🍻
