Old Montréal
Playing heavily on churchy themes, Le Confessionnal is a tempting spot to wrack up a few sins. It has low red lighting, a glowing alabaster-like bar and low-hanging chandeliers, with old-school R&B playing overhead. Signature cocktails loosely reference the seven deadly sins (try 'Le Lazy Boy' with tequila, agave, citron frais and Hoegaarden), and there are DJs spinning on weekends.
Expect long line ups after midnight.
