6 Best Nightlife in Quebec City, Quebec

A great selection of beers, brewed on premises or coming from some of the best microbreweries in Québec, attract diners here, along with the smart menu of reinvented pub fare (fish and waffle, blood sausage pie, braised pork belly with chimichurri sauce and parsley root chips, for example). The décor, with raw plywood and exposed structures, is modern and trendy.

Across the street from Église St-Jean-Baptiste, this place bears its name well, with a couple of church pews and religious icons. Le Sacrilège has local microbrews like Boréale and Trou du Diable in bottles and on tap, and the special changes daily. It also has the best terrace in the city, an enclosed garden that's constantly full in summer. Live music or DJs play on a regular basis.

A popular after-work spot with the locals, this brewery crafts high-quality beer and tapas-inspired pub fare. A friendly vibe and ample seating make Korrigane the ideal spot for a cinq à sept or a low-key night out. In addition to the house brews, there's a good selection of other local options.

A popular Upper Town brewpub, L'Inox serves beers that have been brewed on-site, like Trouble-Fête and Coulée-Douce, as well as a rotating list of limited-edition brews.

With 30 beer and cider lines (a great way to discover Quebec's brewery scene), Le Projet is a 65-seat bistro-pub specializing in Quebec microbrewery beers and ciders in a beautiful 112-year-old building—a former bank—where the architecture is reminiscent of the quintessential English pub. The cozy façade and the imposing ceiling moldings contribute to the welcoming atmosphere that makes the food (and beer) even tastier.

This popular English-style pub offers dozens of single-malt scotch and more than 200 kinds of beer, 30 of which are on tap, and many of which are exclusive imports.
