3 Spots To Watch A Hockey Game You Didn’t Think About
Whether it’s a weekly ritual or only a get together once in a while, deciding where to watch a hockey game with your friends is key. The location has to fit with the ambiance you like, the food you enjoy as well as providing a cool experience, and if you choose to go out instead of inviting people over, there’s a chance you’re getting a little bit tired of the regular sports bars. The good thing is that there are loads of places that have their TVs on during game night, but here are 3 spots you might have not thought about.
MADAME SMITH
The old Mr Smith reopened with a new and improved concept. Located at 4061 Ontario Est, the neighborhood hotspot Madame Smith showcases a more feminine touch that is not only found in the name but also in the decor and accents. Plants, florals and pastel colors allow patrons to escape the harsh winter for a moment and to eat great food as well as drink until 3AM every night. Go for the game, stay to catch up.
Regarding the new menu, it has been revisited and elevated; keeping some classic elements from the Mr Smith menu, like the burger and the poutine, the rest is all specialities from Madame Smith. From tartare to salads and tacos, they offer a bistro-inspired menu that showcases flavours from different spots around the world. Vegetarian options are also available.
Convivial atmosphere and cool encounters are what you can be on the lookout for. Perfect for a girls night in a corner booth or a guys evening out to watch hockey at the bar, you will be just as charmed by Madame Smith as the almighty Mr Smith once did.
MONZA
Maybe not the first spot that comes to mind to watch hockey but one that certainly won’t disappoint. The upscale menu and the quality service make Monza a well-loved destination for corporate lunches or family outings because of their fresh food and respectable ambiance. They will be showing the games all season, so you can now merge your love of Italian food and national sport!
Generous portions of authentic recipes made with quality ingredients is what you will find at their four locations. Pizza straight out of the wood oven, delicious pasta dishes and classic appetizers are all categories that offer an extensive number of variation. Make sure to leave room for dessert because you do not want to head home without indulging in a slice (or two) of their renowned Nutella pizza.
Monza also has happy hour on game day in a 4@7 formula to get the party started before the puck drop. There’s a good number of screens around the establishment with a concentration near the bar, as expected. The game is presented with no sound to ensure a good ambiance in the restaurant, allowing clients to alternate between the action on the ice and nice conversation at the table.
ROCKWOOD
If watching the game is not your top priority but you still want to keep an eye on the score in between bites, Rockwood is a fantastic option for succulent elevated comfort Canadian food. Located at 101 Saint-Paul, the menu offers a wonderful variety of meats, fish, tartars and seafood that are the basis of delicious multi-leveled flavours. There is one television near the bar that is well-positioned so every table can see it.
This Canadian brasserie offers clients a menu that brings warmth and elegance created around local products and vegetables in season. Opened 7 days a week from 12 to midnight, Rockwood is a versatile spot that is fitting for a birthday, a business dinner, a hockey night or to spend some family time. Between the fantastic food and the amazing staff making you feel welcomed while making sure you have the best experience, this place is a destination in the heart of the old port for montrealers as well as tourists.
Distinguished by its ground floor made of wood which offers a more classic and chic ambiance, the name of the restaurant was chosen in honor of an original plaque discovered at the historic location on Saint-Paul street. The decor will also be graced by several antique Canadian pieces as well as contemporary works of art created by local artists.
