Vices & Versa Bistro Du Terroir Inc

A lot has changed in the years since 2004, when the craft pub and bistro, Vices et Versa opened its doors on Boulevard St. Laurent. “Back then, there was nothing between the overpass and little Italy,” says owner Patrick Gugg, “We’re happy to be part of the growing culture of the area.” Situated beside the Parc Sœur-Madeleine-Gagnon and across from Parc de la Petite Italie, Vices et Versa benefits from the calmer space provided by the parks juxtaposed with the general bustle of St. Laurent. The pleasantly shaded beer garden capitalizes on this calmer space but it is the extensive beer menu of 30+ craft beers that is the biggest draw. “Craft beer is growing in popularity – both nationally and internationally – but we were the first such bar in Montreal."
