514-397-0737 | | | | | Description: Named for its location, high atop the Place Ville Marie tower at 737 feet above sea level, this place has awesome views, tons of space inside and out, and good drinks. The two-level interior has ample room for getting your groove on to techno and hip-hop, but if you're not a dancer don't let that deter you. 737 has plenty of comfy spots to chill out and nibble on a high-end appetizer while you sip a glass of champagne or a vodka martini.

514-286-0882 | | | | | Description: Retro-chic A GoGo is a definite favorite. The music runs from 70s disco to 80s New Wave and beyond, the décor is a mix of mod and kitsch, and the drink menu is dotted with monikers like Sweet Tart, Mr. Freeze, Pink Panther and A Clockwork Orange. It all adds up to a groovy good time, Baby!

514-279-0200 | | | | | Description: A trendy multi-level lounge that frequently sees line-ups, Mile End is something of an anomaly. Part of the appeal is its ridiculously stylish interior design. That sort of thing frequently attracts the upper echelon of the club-going population, but there's a distinct lack of pretension here, so those of us in the less-than-fabulous demographic can also appreciate it. Lounge-y and cool overall a fine place to spend an evening chilling out and sipping cocktails.

514-842-6838 | | | | | Description: Cozy and popular, Tokyo has two separate spaces, so whether you feel like chilling out with friends or dancing up a storm, you can do it here. DJs and occasional live bands liven up one space, but the lounge and two rooftop terraces provide ample room to escape to a less manic scene if the mood strikes you. Eclectic, creative martinis are the drink of choice.

H3G 2H4
514-931-6808 | | | | | Description: A reputation for terrific Continental (especially Spanish) cuisine and a desire to book talented musicians has earned Upstairs a loyal following and a growing clientele. The restaurant serves flavorful dishes that mix the smokiness of grilled meats and seafood with liqueur-tinged sauces, fresh vegetables and the sweetness of lush fruits. The relaxed atmosphere is also conducive to great jazz artists, both local and international. At times, you'll also find R&B performers and other styles of music. While you listen to the rhythmic, seductive tones, make sure to enjoy a glass from their wine cellar, or sample a single-malt scotch. Fantastic food and entertainment in one place what could be better?

514-395-3195 | | | | | Description: The W Hotel's ultra-trendy lounge bar certainly looks the part. The décor is noteworthy, particularly the ceiling. And, as befitting a W Hotel bar, the drinks are great, the music is cutting edge and the staff is beyond polite. The crowd, as you might expect, is there to see and be seen, and line-ups are common. Wear your most fashionable threads!

514-845-5392 | | | | | Description: Reveling in its kitschy-stylish décor, Bily Kun is about as unpretentious a spot as you'll find anywhere. The vibe has been called "electric" but it's not a high-energy club by any means people come here to relax. Absinthe and beer are the quaffs of choice, and live jazz is on the schedule a few nights a week. Word of warning: the rather infamous ostrich heads may take some getting used to!
