    Hey Guys,

    I am going to a bachelor party in Montreal this weekend and needed some recommendations.

    Can you guys let me know some good restaurants to hit up. Steakhouses would be good, but we are open.

    Also, besides the normal strip joints, what do you think is a must see for 7 guys out on the prowl?

    I know we are going Golf one day. May do Paintball, but we are not sure.

    I might not live in Toronto but I know of some great things from experience.

    Hockey Hall of Fame - Amazing place lots of history, interactive exhibits like shooting pucks aginst a VR NHL goalie, giant rod hockey games etc.

    CN Tower - Huge Tower with Observation deck with glass panle floors in some places, allowing you to look straight down 1000 feet.

    Wayne Gretzky's Restaurant isn't to bad as well.

    You can also also call and have beer / alcohol delivered to your door.

    Please narrow it down a little.

    Toronto, is very big because it now technically includes the surrounding cities, unless you mean downtown Toronto?

    But also, we have more or less the same as you guys down there...Montana's, The Keg, etc etc etc....

    This will help a little:

    Should have came up here last week for TFCon :p 

    Think you'd be able to travel to Mississauga?

    How the slaggin' pit did you mess that up?

    We're 336 miles apart.

    It's like you travelling to almost Pittsburgh kind of distance.

    Cause, I have an office in Toronto I was just speaking to on the phone with. So my mind was thinking Montreal, and I typed in Toronto.

    Now HELP.

    There's probably only 3 Montrealers on the boards here.

    It's a small town.

    :lol

    Arnold's paintball is where it's at if you guys do decide to go.

    TK restobar for Filipino fusion food. What to order: the wings, the porc and the beef. porc: sisig (don't worry it's just porc belly), Kaldereta (Best bone marow dish)

    Kung Kei in Chinatown for the more authentic Chinese food.

    Kam Fung for the Dim Sim

    You have to go up Mount Royal as a sign of respect then go down to cote des neiges to Pho Lien to energize.

    As for clubs, I'm old school so most of my places have closed down. You have to call if indicated.

    - terrace magnetic - pool club/bar. The ladies there are/were easy pick up.
    - club 737: another terrace much higher but no pool. Snootier women.
    - sharks for billiards

    Head down to the old port/Montreal

    - any restaurant is good.
    - I think cirque du soleil is in town as well if that's your thing.
    - there's now beach located there as well.
    - this is the more touristy side so it's expensive.

    More to come.

    For strip joints: I'd recommend the ones outside the city. the ladies get prettier the more north you go. I'm just an observant and just point it out.

    http://www.hoteldelamontagne.com/en/bars_and_clubs/terrasse_magnetic/

    I remember swiping some ladies right off another table full of other dudes. That easy.

    I heard it's closed. Not sure anymore.

    There's also crescent street. Full of bars and clubs.

    Prince Arthur street for good restos (The park at the end of the street is a good place pick some joint if that's your thing)

    I'd recommend walking from and to any places or take the subway. (except Arnold's. That's about 30-45 minute drive) That's how I rolled before. No more traffic issues and parking problems. We're now higher traffic problems than NYC.

    Would it be in bad taste to wear a Ranger's Jersey?

    Things to do in Montreal:

    -brag about how Montreal is cooler than the rest of the province
    -play your f*cking tam-tam on Mount Royal with a bunch of local pseudo-hippies

    That's about it.

    :p

    I've never been to the tam-tams.

    It reeks of hippies AND hipsters...
