Pub St-Alexandre

Québec City


High ceilings and dark wood house a loyal mix of tourists and locals at this popular two-level English pub. A near-encyclopedic range of suds (250 sorts!) and over 50 single malts keep the crowds coming back for more. Live music nightly – Celtic, blues, jazz and more – contributes to the animated atmosphere.

Blotters include nachos ($18), fish and chips ($21) and the ubiquitous poutine (from $15).
