Montreal bars?

What kind of music you like?

Well the good thing with Montreal is that they are concentrated in the same areas.

You have the west side of downtown:
Two streets perpendicular to St-Catherine (main street)
Crescent street (best for night clubs, I warn you girls there love to show off how beautiful they are, and damn... they are :) ) You can find some cool Irish pubs with live traditional music)
Bishop street (same than above but not as cool)
Mostly Anglophone

More toward the east downtown:
St-Laurent (a lot of night clubs as well) Half Francophone half Anglophone
St-Denis (Terrace, like the huge St-Sulspice) There you get everything from night club to Jazz, Blues, Rock and Heavy Metal bars. Live music in some places. Mostly Francophone

On St-Catherine from about St-Laurent to around St-Denis:
Different types of bar. If you like rock/metal/alternative you can go to Fouffoune electrique (electric butt)
Of course there you find the 281. Well I mention that because you are a lady :) It's a well known strip club for ladies and it's so popular that they are making the line shamelessly to go in on the main street :) Mostly Francophone
In old port:
Several cool pubs and jazz clubs. But one that you should miss if you want to feel a crazy french canadian atmosphere is Les deux Pierrots. There is a live music but the place is huge and full... Once my cousin told me to meet him there and I felt like I was playing Where's Waldo... People there are just partying singing out loud known quebecer songs or beetles...
Mostly Francophone

On St-Catherine east of St-Denis
Gay area, there you can find many night clubs.

Anyways you have more but I think you should be alright. Damn now I miss Montreal...

Excellent reply by Fran莽ois by the way!
