Asphalt Jungle

On a steamy Montreal evening, the term "happy hour" is merely a figure of speech. Cinq a Sept stretches late into the night, making location and ambience of utmost importance. I went in search of the most enticing summer terraces to serve my every cocktail need. Whether craving a cool minty mojito or a foamy frosted pint, Montreal's patio scene is definitely worth checking out.
