I have been living in Montreal for over three years now, I have been a student and a young professional in this city, and since the day I came, I find Crescent Street getting an attention it does not deserve.

Yes, there is a bunch of pubs, clubs, and restaurants on the street; though I feel like it caters to the 'drink to get drunk' guy, who desperately goes out to spend unreasonable amounts of money to meet with companions, etc. If you fit that bill, yes, Crescent Street may satisfy you, otherwise, stay away from it.

The only two times of the year that some credit may be given to the festivities on Crescent Street are: Grand-Prix Montreal (Formula 1) and St-Patricks day, when there are outside events that are happening, which are worth stopping by, if you love crowds that is...

There once were very good small shops and restaurants here - they have probably all gone down the 401 to Toronto.

This is the street where many of the bars are located. In the evenings, this street is completely different feel and you can feel the energy of this vibrant city. Check it out. They have all sorts of bars and restaurants on this street.
