Facing the Old Port, this cozy watering hole in the Auberge du Vieux Port has delicious faux-retro decor, a long zinc bar, and a menu with lobster sliders, oysters, fish and chips, and a delish mac 'n' cheese. The house brew is the Gaspar lager, and other local beers include St-Ambroise suds. There's live music on Wednesday evenings.
