NOOOo... what will happen to the Vieux-Dublin? My good ol' watering hole.

ah screw it, this place is better!

[BiloQuebecCity]

Beau projet!

Le restaurant Le Vieux Dublin déménagera au 636 Cathcart au courant de l’été. La vieille bâtisse de 30 ans d'existence sera démolie pour y construire soit des condominiums ou un hôtel.

C'est une bien petite tour pour se frotter FACE à FACE avec la gigantesque Place Ville Marie.
J'aime son design et ce que je vois, mais je crois que ça devrait grimper d'une 15aine d'étages ou même plus. Sortez-la de l'ombre.

Beau projet certes.... je suis dur.

[Laurent]

ayoye j'en reviens pas :omg: boom, out of nowhere, et ils commencent déjà cet été

ça va tellement être cooool!!!! nous avons déjà un des CV les plus actifs en Amérique du Nord (possiblement le plus actifs après NYC), imaginez donc ce que ce sera après que ce Marriott et le Hilton sur Sherbrooke (3 coins de rues au Nord) seront terminés.

merci pour le update Marty, awesome news!

quant au look de la tour, bof honnêtement je ne peux jamais m'attendre à un nouveau projet gros et glorieux comme la PVM, la CIBC, le 1250, etc. . . Celui-ci me semble par contre plus beau que le Hilton sur Sherbrooke. Aussi, il me fait beaucoup penser à la Place Montréal Trust . . . mais en beaucoup plus beau. Rien de wow pour moi, mais définitivement je trouve ça très beau. Somme toute, une très excellente addition dans ce coin. Merci Marriott :tup: :tup: :tup:

[MolsonExport]

great news....but the Dublin! My old Home. I spent 100s of nights and billions of dollars at that place in the 80s-90s.

[gatt]

j'aime bien.à 30 étages je la prend tout de suite.c'est pas comme si il y a eu énormément de projets de cet hauteur à Mtl dans les dernières années.une bonne addition ça c'est sure.

[FRED]

Moi, j'aime bien comme tour !

[harls]

ah.. I knew I had a pic of it somewhere.. j'ai soif, maintenant.

[cityguy]

Is this hotel still a go for late summer start?

[AlainS]

Très très bien comme design. J'aime la simplicité et la pureté des lignes qui s'en dégage. On voit qu'ils ont réconcilié la trame les douze premiers étages avec les édifices voisins.

Mais comme Serge, je suis innassouvi.

Une quarantaine d'étages donnerait à cette tour une prestance magnifique.

Hurley's may be more packed, but in my mind the Vieux Dublin was always the best Irish pub in the city.

[Lyle]

^^ Gotta love the beer bottles cemented into the wall beside the sign. Touch 'o class, that!!

[Laurent]

^ cool - thanks for pointing it out, I never noticed it!

gotta agree. Old Dublin is the only place in which I get the complete feeling I'm in an Irish pub (even though I've never been to Ireland so I honestly don't know what a 'real' one is like!). I guess some reasons for its air of genuiness is that it's so small, it's in a basement, and its atmosphere is more one of warmth than classiness. That's why even though it's such a well known place, it'll always have the feel of a bona fide haunt (to me anyway, and probably to most people too). Maybe it's a bit like Schwartz's in that sense (though Schwartz's is 100 times more famous and 100 times more informal). I love those kinda places. Comfortable yet low key atmosphere and high quality product & service. Great representatives of our culture, I'd say

[Rico Rommheim]

I remember going there only once for a ssp smoked meat (remember those?) I got drunk and ran out of the place , forgetting to pay my 40$ bill, making Serge one angry pappy. :cheers:


needless to say I'm banned form there although they probably forgot by now :) Ill be back alright.

[Laurent]

^ that wasn't you, that was althegreat!

I'm sure Rico Rommheim is welcome . . .if he pays in advance ;)

[Rico Rommheim]

Rico Rommheim is always welcome, that's the very nature of the Rommheim.


And as for althegreat, I can't even remember why "he" got banned in the first place. ;)

[big T]

I'm torn. The tower looks mighty fine and seems to integrate really well with its surroundings, but... le vieux dublin! Ca sera jamais pareil...

You hit the nail on the head. I will sorely miss the Vieux Dublin when it is gone.

[MolsonExport]

Anybody remember the Old Munich? (occupied by "Le Medley")? It was the largest Bavarian beer hall in North America. Complete with a 10-piece "OOMPA" band in lederhosen on a revolving stage; barmaids in Hausfrau dirndl's, 150proof schnapps with beer chasers, picnic tables, a mezzanine level that you could look down over the whole sordid drunken mess...I loved the place.

[Laurent]

^ unfortunately never heard of it but sounds like it was a great place! Some friends of mine who lived in St-Eustache used to go to a big bavarian bar just like the one you described (but it was in St-Eustache rather than downtown MTL). Despite its far-off location it sounded like a was a pretty big place, and rather famous too (it had the bavarian band on a platform in the middle of the place, etc.). Though I don't remember the name, and the last time I hear of it we were still in CEGEP (10 years ago!). maybe it's still around?

Thinking about that, I gotta say I'm so impressed when I think of bars and restaurants that last for decades, sometimes even multiple generations! For an industry where the players come and go with the fads and fashions, it's pretty impressive when a business lasts so long (and proportionately sad when such a business closes)

I wonder if there's a list somewhere of the oldest bars and restaurants in Montreal, ranked by age? That'd be really cool to see! I wonder how old is the oldest one??
