Really good neighbourhood bars have a number of criteria that make them feel just right.
The newly-opened Bobby's on Beaubien Ouest in Mile-Ex ticks off many of those boxes, and if you're a fan of homey, old-school Quebec tavern vibes, welcome to what is potentially your new favourite hangout.
"The one thing that all of the co-owners kept saying is that we just wanted Bobby's to be a great neighbourhood bar," says the bar's frontman and co-owner Dan Haber, who runs the place alongside Trevor Barnes. "Those are the bars that we've always loved (and lost) in this city—places like Snack N' Blues, The Green Room, and Bethlehem XXX."
Early 2000s staples like Korova, Blizzarts, La Petite Idée Fixe and Primetime also come to Haber's mind.
