Pub Epoxy

Pub Epoxy near the Saint-Henri metro is unapologetically rugged—a dive bar wrapped in Habs memorabilia and filled with regulars who know what they’re getting. Post-renovation, it boasts more space, a pool room, and a well-worn vibe that feels like a time capsule for anyone missing the old Brasserie St. Jacques days. Specials pull in the crowds, and the bar’s approach to decor—complete with a classic condom machine in the bathroom—adds to the no-frills, almost relic-like charm.

Beyond the rough edges, Epoxy is also a neighbourhood favourite with a surprisingly warm side. With about 15 beers on tap and plenty more in bottles, there’s no shortage of choice for drinkers who don’t need fancy. The bar even has a jukebox for those moments when you want to set the soundtrack.
