If you and the boys are craving a wild escape packed with good food, epic nights out, and unforgettable moments, Montreal is the place to be. This city has it all world-class nightlife, killer brunch spots, adrenaline-pumping activities, and just enough culture to keep things interesting. Whether you’re planning a bachelor party or just a long-overdue getaway with the crew, this weekend itinerary will make sure you hit every highlight.
Let’s break down the ultimate boys’ weekend in Montreal—step by step.
Kick Off the Fun on Friday Night
Start your weekend strong with the ultimate Montreal bachelor party experience. Head straight to Crescent Street, known for its electric nightlife. Grab dinner at a classic steakhouse like La Queue de Cheval, perfect for a feast before the madness. Then bounce between popular nightclubs such as Rouge or Thursday’s, where the DJs drop bangers and the party crowd goes all night. With unmatched energy and plenty of drink options, this street sets the perfect tone for your weekend getaway with the boys.
If you’re into cigars and whisky, pop into Whisky Café on Saint-Laurent for a more laid-back, classy vibe. It’s a great way to start the night with a toast before diving into the louder scenes.
Late-Night Eats for the Win
After clubbing, satisfy cravings with late-night poutine from La Banquise. This 24-hour joint serves wild combos with toppings like pulled pork, guacamole, or smoked meat. It never disappoints, especially after a few rounds.
Craving something sweet? Rockaberry in Little Burgundy serves homemade pies into the late hours. Grab a slice of cheesecake or apple crumble—thank us later.
Explore the City on Saturday Morning
Fuel up with brunch at L’Avenue in the Plateau. Their eggs Benedict, fresh smoothies, and over-the-top presentation make it a local legend. Expect a line, but trust us—it’s worth every minute.
Walk it off with a stroll through Mount Royal Park. The summit offers unbeatable views of the skyline, and the surrounding trails give you a breath of fresh Montreal air. Don’t forget to snap some group shots with the city in the background—Instagram gold.
Want something more active? Rent BIXI bikes and cruise along the Lachine Canal. It’s a chill way to see more of the city without exhausting yourself.
Daytime Adventures Across the City
Saturday afternoon is prime time for competition and laughs. Start with axe throwing at Rage: Axe Throwing Montreal, where you’ll channel your inner Viking. If you want speed, head to Action 500 for indoor go-kart racing on Montreal’s largest track.
Prefer something more chill? Book a brewery tour at Dieu du Ciel or 4 Origines. Learn how the city’s best beers are made while tasting fresh IPAs, stouts, and sours. Ideal for a slower-paced but equally fun afternoon.
Chill with Craft Beer
Later, head to Mile End, one of Montreal’s coolest neighborhoods. Stop by microbreweries like Harricana, Vices & Versa, or Siboire. Each spot has a different vibe, whether you’re looking for creative seasonal beers or a cozy patio to unwind with the crew. Want to turn it into a challenge? Make it a self-guided pub crawl and rate your favorite pint at each stop.
Add Some Culture to the Mix
Balance the party with a touch of culture. Hit the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MBAM) for a laid-back and inspiring visit, or explore immersive art installations at Phi Centre in Old Montreal.
More into sports than art? Catch a CF Montréal soccer game or check if the Canadiens are playing at the Bell Centre. Nothing like screaming with the locals over a big goal or hit on the ice.
Saturday Night in Style
Saturday night calls for something memorable. Start with dinner at Garde Manger, where the seafood platters and elevated comfort food make every bite a winner. If you’re more into steak or bold flavors, book at Joe Beef—a Montreal legend for a reason.
After dinner, head to Le Rouge Bar or École Privée to dance until dawn. World-class DJs, packed dance floors, and VIP booths take the night to the next level. For something a bit different, check out Club Unity in the Village for an all-welcoming party atmosphere with multiple floors and musical styles.
Recovery Mode on Sunday Morning
Slow things down with brunch at Olive et Gourmando in Old Montreal. Their breakfast sandwiches and fresh pastries are famous, and the cozy, sun-filled vibe is just what you need. Want something quicker? Grab a Montreal-style bagel at Bagel Etc. or St-Viateur—both are iconic and won’t disappoint.
Need a full reset? Head to Bota Bota Spa, a floating spa docked on the St. Lawrence River. The hot-cold circuit, saunas, and city views offer the perfect hangover cure. You’ll leave feeling like a new man.
Make Sunday Count Before Departure
You’ve still got time for one last adventure. Rent electric scooters in the Old Port and cruise along the waterfront. For something fun and a bit challenging, book an escape room at A/Maze Montreal and see how well your crew works under pressure.
Before heading out, raise a final toast at Terrasse Nelligan—a rooftop bar with stunning views and refreshing cocktails. With the skyline as your backdrop, it’s the perfect way to say goodbye to an unforgettable weekend.
Try a Local Food Tour
If your group is up for it, a guided food tour through Little Italy or the Plateau adds a flavorful twist to your Sunday. Taste smoked meat, bagels, maple treats, and local cheese while learning more about the city’s culture. It’s chill, filling, and photo-worthy.
Final Touch: Commemorate the Trip
Before you split, get matching crew t-shirts or hats printed at a local shop. It’s a fun souvenir and a great way to remember the inside jokes that only your squad will get.
Finally, create a shared photo album and drop in everyone’s shots from the weekend. A few blurry selfies, scenic views, and party clips later—you’ll have proof this trip was, in fact, legendary.
