A Montreal player is asking Reddit if there's a chill spot downtown where they can drop in and play Super Smash Bros Ultimate for free — and actually meet other people grinding the same game.
Someone's hunting for amateur improv leagues in the city, ideally for people in their late twenties to mid-thirties with experience back to high school. If you know of one, Montreal Reddit's the place to find others looking too.
Heads up: significant traffic disruptions are coming as Montreal hosts the UCI Road World Championships September 20–27. Plan your commute around the cycling routes.
A couple drove in expecting the same Ashton menu they knew from Quebec City—specifically the rosbif sauce piquante—only to hear "we don't have that here, Montrealers don't like it." They're not coming back.
Someone waited in line at Montreal's legendary bagel place, took that first bite on the way back to the car, and dropped it. But hey, at least the first bite was delicious.
Dad's flying in for the Rush concert next month — looking for bars with Rush vibes or themed beers to check out beforehand. Not Toronto energy, but wanting to catch any local buzz happening while they're in town.
Someone posted a bilingual Google review of Auberge PVT Montréal that's basically a cosmic-horror story — thick, damp air mixing sweat, mold, and despair; walls that seem to breathe; an unsettling owner encounter. It's genuinely unhinged and Montréal Reddit is obsessed.
Someone posted "What would Montreal be without its cones?" pointing out there's literally nothing under construction at the spot. Peak Montreal—the cones are the real city landmark.
Someone posted asking where to watch Québécois French shows with English and French subtitles — they're an anglophone dreaming of moving to Montreal or Ottawa, want to study political science, and think learning French might be easier since they speak Spanish. The thread's full of locals pointing them to resources.
A tourist who's visited Montreal twice noticed Jardin Gamelin has ALWAYS had something happening — street festivals, outdoor raves, parties. They're asking if the park is just constantly booked for events or if they've had amazing timing both times.
A Montreal redditor asked older gay men how they stay active and socialize when they're not part of the bar scene. Lots of replies about hiking with kids, pickleball, joining groups — people sharing how they balance family life with staying connected to community.
r/montreal is hunting for stories about the old Gare d'autocars / Terminus Voyageur on Boul. De Maisonneuve (now Escale circulaire). Someone's putting together an exhibit and wants to hear from people who waited there, caught buses, hung out in the restaurant. Anything goes.
Someone on r/montreal tracked down the sketchy internet deal circulating on social media. Turns out "Daniel" and "Benoit" are the same person, openly discriminating by race. The whole investigation is documented.
r/montreal thread from someone in La Petite Patrie: the intersection still has blind spots where cars turning right on Bellechasse can't see cyclists coming up from the south. Recent city reconfiguration made it worse, not better.
Rumour on r/montreal: the smoked meat spot lost access to Cott's Black Cherry Cola, the drink that's been going with the sandwich forever. If it's true, that's the end of an era.
The pedestrian tunnel connecting Square Victoria to Beaver Hall station is closed—commuters usually use it to skip the steep climb on Bourrassa. Unknown if it's temporary or permanent.
Brossard commuters report the schedule board for Brossard-bound trains has been down at Grand-Moulin station for over a month—no word on when it'll be fixed.
Montreal Redditor sharing 13 new budget recipes every Thursday—this week's picks save 29 to 53 percent on groceries while keeping meals varied. Two-year project to help locals stretch food budgets.
Tennis Canada is upping the francophone energy at the Omnium Banque Nationale—court Rogers is going 100% francophone for music, and the main court is playing French music about half the time. C'est la couleur de Montréal.
Someone spotted a young fox outside Université-de-Montréal metro station at 7:30 a.m. Thursday looking disoriented. If you see it, keep distance and report to wildlife control.
