Stay out late, Shop for home decorations & Stay fit!
Our favourite spots for going out and staying out late
New City Gas
Set up in a historical building that is itself worth a visit, New City Gas is the place to stay out until the wee hours of the morning. Trendy crowd, off-the-wall music by the best DJs in town and from around the world, a terrace offering breathtaking views of downtown Montreal… this is without a doubt one of the best spots in the city to dance as if there were no tomorrow while enjoying cocktails by the well-known mixologist Lawrence Picard. A night to remember!
950 Ottawa Street
Drinkerie Ste-Cunégonde
Stepping foot inside Drinkerie feels like being transported to one of Brooklyn’s trendiest spots. Frequented by young professionals as well as residents of Griffintown, we like to come here for the relaxed atmosphere, vintage décor, and beautiful crowd. Ideal for happy hour… although there’s a high chance it’ll last more than an hour!
2661 Notre-Dame West Street
Arsenal
Spanning more than 83,000 square feet and located in an ancient industrial building, the Arsenal is at once a contemporary art center, gallery, art studio, concert venue, and stomping ground for the city’s most important events, such as the renowned C2MTL conference and Montreal Fashion Week.
2020 William Street
High-end boutiques to decorate your condo
Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams
The American duo’s first and only furniture point of sale in Quebec, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams is one of our very favourites when it comes to tasteful interior decoration. Furniture, light fixtures, and accessories with a classic yet contemporary design are made using top-quality materials. The brand’s arrival at the heart of Griffintown is an undeniable sign of the neighborhood’s growing reputation.
1057 Wellington Street
West Elm
For a Brooklyn loft-inspired interior or to find uniquely designed accessories to spruce up your home, West Elm is a great bet. We particularly love the artisanal decorative objects with ethnic accents created by communities from around the world. It’s the New York brand’s first and only outlet on Quebec soil, and they even thought about integrating their popular Market concept to the store, where they sell the creations of local artisans. What a great idea! What’s not to love here?

Ludovik is a boutique filled with furniture, lamps, and decoration with a contemporary and eclectic design. The brand offers carefully and tastefully selected creations from Quebec and international designers. We come here for original lamps and cushions that will add a lovely and unique touch to our decor.
1318 Notre-Dame West Street
Beige Style
Inspired by Paris, New York, and London shops, Beige Style offers an unparalleled personalized design and decoration service. It’s a perfect spot for wedding registries and to find classic and exceptional tableware, furniture, lamps, and accessories. We like to come here to start a conversation with owner Michael Stratulak, fall in love with everything in his boutique, and fill our homes with scented candles that can’t be found anywhere else in the city!

Best places to stay fit
Studio Breathe
This studio offers boxing, kickboxing, TRX, several types of yoga classes, a running clinic, and a vegan/gluten-free restaurant. What are you waiting for?! They’ve even thought about children, who are invited to come get a feel for karate. We tested the Hot Kbox Yoga Fusion class, an intensive workout session that combines cardio kickboxing and power yoga… in a heated room. For hardened workoutaholics only!
