As a local, I have to do a public service and tell people to stay away from this area. It's horrible. If you want bad food, scenesters of all ages, over crowded bars\restaurants, then by all means go. Other than that, this area is junk. Sure you have some savings spots, like below St-Catherine you can find a couple of fun pubs such as Hurley's and Brutopia, you can actually have a good meal if you go to Devi, and the best shish-taouk (Chicken Shawarma) in the city. Don't believe me? Maybe you'll believe the picture of the owner and Prime Minister Trudeau.
Instead of wasting time here, go to old montreal, Quartier Latin, Plateau, Mile End, anything but Crescent.
Nothing special here - so many better parts of the city to experience!
It's one of my favorite street where I go to eat or take a drink (or two) with friends, there is nice bars and clubs, the only problem there is the parking...
If its your first time to Montreal go there. This is the other tourist mecca besides the old port, but this one is busiest at night. Crescent offers a lot of bars, clubs, restaurants, etc. During F1 weekend its a lot of fun, they close down the street and sponsers set up displays / booths etc. There is also a concert. Good times but just dont go every weekend as it would get old. If its your second time to Montreal go explore somewhere else for dinner / drinks like St. Laurent / plateau area.
This street is amazing . I always go on it with friends or family.. day or at night.. it has great restaurants and great clubs.. not sure what to do downtown montreal? Go to crescent street you will most definatly find something to do!
