"The Lachine Canal is this large canal that goes through all the new, up-and-coming areas that are being built out of factories. There’s all sorts of unexpected little places to eat and drink along there. Definitely see the sunset there, too."

Big in Japan

Cocktail bar

Big in Japan

"The cocktail bars here are just outstanding. When Lightspeed was getting its first round of funding, we took our venture capitalists to this place with absolutely no signage called Big In Japan. I can credit some of the Montréal speakeasies for getting us funded."
