Brasserie Hymus

Bar Hymus is hardly visible. When my friends first invited me there, I thought they wanted me to go inside of the Couche-​tard it’s stuck to. It’s hard to spot if you don’t look for signs but it’s well worth it.
This isn’t your typical bar. This is a friendly bar where mostly older and calmer people go to. This isn’t Annie’s or Pioneer where you always see a dumb kid from Abbott puke on a table or a girl, slutty girls dancing then trying to hook up with the next thing to them regardless of gender (not due to bisexuality but due to the % of alcohol in their blood), etc.
As of mid-​2014, this bar is now my go-​to bar. I love it there. The food is very cheap and the beer is even cheaper. Sadly it still looks like a bingo bar from the 80’s. There are no pool tables just slot machines and a TON of huge TVs EVERYWHERE making it a decent sports bar.
Price: 6/​5, cheapest beer I’ve seen in any bar in the West Island as a non-​special event thing: 20.88 $/​4L pitcher after 9pm on weekends every week.
Service: 6/​5, I love the crew there. They’re nice, polite but homey and friendly. The Bartender Alex is my new Bff.
Set-​up: ³⁄₅ Pretty crappy to be honest. Still looks like a bingo bar and no pool tables. Only 1 bar available but the place is relatively small. Gave it extra points for the back parking.
Food: 3.5÷5, decent for the price. Nothing to die for but it’s good food.
The staff makes up for anything though. The manager is ultra-​super-​friendly, the bartender and waitresses are GENUINELY friendly, none of that «Fake Smile for a tip» stuff.
Free WiFi (just ask for the password, it doesn’t change), you can bring food from Dominos/​Couche-​tard/​Tim Horton’s. Be sure to ask the manager first if you’re going to bring in Pizza since they do their own pizza). I don’t think he’ll truly mind due to his friendliness but I’d consider it proper conduct.
Saturday evenings can get a little full so be careful about your timing. Otherwise it’s pretty nice and calm.
