Le Billy brings new life to Verdun’s nightlife, taking over the former Bar Palco space on Wellington Street. Named in honour of Billy Walsh—a creative and community-minded figure remembered for his generosity of spirit—the venue blends cocktails and live music in a warm, unpretentious setting. Owners Patrick Mainville and Hugues Gagnon have kept the neighbourhood bar ethos intact while opening the stage to local performers and emerging artists. With space for over 150 guests and a layout made for both conversation and celebration, Le Billy doubles as a hangout and a small-scale venue. It’s the kind of place that feels just as right for a quiet drink as it does for a late-night show.
