After nearly three decades without one, Montreal has a true German beer hall again with Wünderbar. This brainchild of Anthoni Jodoin—the designer behind Snowbird Tiki Bar, Spaghetti Western, Taverne Cobra, and the Irish pub One Punch Mickey's—transforms 3,500 square feet of Plaza St-Hubert into a cinematic reimagining of Bavarian tradition with long communal tables beneath massive chandeliers, exposed beams, and steins colliding between brick walls.

Beer takes the lead here: sixteen taps pour a mix of local brews and imports like Erdinger, Starnberger, and Stiegel, all served in hefty glassware. The menu keeps to the essentials—fresh-baked pretzels from Brezellerie and a build-your-own sausage setup fit for marathon sessions of drinking and debate.
