Who knew that an inn dating from 1754 could be so hip? Beneath restaurant Auberge St-Gabriel, walk through a long, candlelit stone passageway to this grooving grotto of electronic beats done up like a speakeasy of yore. Attracts beautiful people and the people who act like groupies around beautiful people.
