3 Minots runs on a one-man economy. The owner is the bartender, the KJ, and the tambourine section all at once, and the unwritten rule is that singing time is earned through drink orders, so come ready to participate in the system.

Get it, and the place delivers what it's delivered for years on this stretch of Saint-Laurent: a no-cover, open-format karaoke night where the whole bar sings along, slow songs get their window early in the evening, and the energy climbs as the room fills. It's a dive with sticky floors and binders of songs spanning English, French, and Spanish, plus a crowd that skews past the student crush further down the Main.
