Deceptively tiny, one of those places that seem really big when you first go into it but that's only because there's so many people there. When it was busy, getting to the bar took a while. When it was dead, of course, it was easy. Only it vacillated between dead and busy at the drop of a hat so it took much strategizing to make sure your available beer supply kept pace with the problematic amount you wished to drink.
The decor woody and old and gorgeous, like nearly everywhere else in Montreal. The stereotype about Canadians being friendlier and kinder than American is absolutely, 100% true, so even during its busy periods the place felt more warm than it did oppressive.
Beer selection was fabulous, with fresh selections of the all of Du Ciel's mainstays along with some slightly weirder stuff (a tangerine IPA) and some truly fucking bizarre, "wow I have to try this even though it sounds awful" stuff (an absinthe IPA).
An absolute must-visit if you're in the city.

Visited during our recent vacation to Montreal. Nice location in a residential area in north central part of the city. It is a bit smaller than I expected. Bar area is darker wood and pretty typical of a nice pub. The service is great! very attentive servers. We ate lunch while there. Pub type food, a small but very tasty selection. The beer selection was great, as was the quality. It was so good my wife wanted to go back a second time while we were there, so we did!

One of the best (if not THE best) bar/brewery in Montreal. The bar is fairly large in size but was completely packed on a Sunday night. ~17-18 beers on tap, with wine/cocktail options as well. The beer selections are diverse, ranging from traditional styles to experimental beers (such as a black saison). Beers are sold at a fixed price based on size, and prices are more than fair. Didn't have a chance to try the food, but the menu did look very promising.
A must visit for craft beer fans in or visiting Montreal!

Incredible beer destination in Montreal, perfect while visiting Jazz Festival, loves all the beers we had plus the excellent food. Sat outside in July at the large tables, had fun chatting with the other patrons!

Great neighborhood brewpub! Peche Mortel on tap - need I say more! Had the cheeseboard and flatbread pizza, awesome! at least 14 different beers on tap, all brewed by them. A must if you are a beery visiting Montreal. A little off the beaten tract, but don't let that scare you. Find it and go there. It's a great friendly place.

Friendly, knowledgable staff, great and varied beer selection from a consistently fine brewer. Food - huge platters of local artisinal foods. If you are not hungry, share.

Reminds me a bit of a European cafe; very chill vibe. Good selection and some cool stuff you can't find in the US on tap. Didn't eat the food but looked good, beers were great. The place to go when in Montreal.

Along with Vices & Versa (which is just a 20 minute walk away) and Station HO.ST, le Brasserie Dieu Du Ciel (brewery of the sky god) is one of my favorite places in Montréal. I could skip the other two, but any trip to Montréal for me requires a visit.
The beer cannot be argued with (look at the reviews!), and it's on tap (although they do offer some bottles). And they offer food, which can be rare. It's just smaller plate stuff (sandwiches, pizzas, and snacks), and slightly pricey, but it's good and I think it's worth it for the quality. The service is excellent, and the atmosphere is great - it's kind of like a small English-style pub, but with a very Canadian vibe. And it's great to sit out on the street, or in a window on the street, and just relax with a beer and watch traffic go by. (Ha ha suckers!!! You could be here but you're not!)
I haven't given them a good enough review here, what I've written isn't worthy, and I'll need to return to this and update it - hopefully after my next visit - but for now you've got a sense of my passion for the place, don't let it go to waste.
