La Cale

La Cale is a blueprint for how going out can actually give back. Opened on Plaza St-Hubert in 2019, this maritime-themed pub is proudly zero waste, meaning everything from your pint to your plate is part of a closed-loop system that prioritizes local producers and cuts landfill contributions to near-zero. The beer’s from nearby microbreweries, the cocktails are mixed in-house, and the kitchen leans into seasonal, low-impact fare. But it’s not just about what’s consumed—La Cale also gives space to Montreal’s emerging artists, hosting everything from comedy nights and improv to book launches and live music. It’s a venue that takes sustainability seriously without sacrificing vibe: relaxed, warm, and unfussy, with the kind of wood-panelled charm that invites you to linger.
