If you want to see local, don't go on crescent and the west part of Montréal you will find tourist only .
During the year specially during winter check when the Canadiens(the hockey team) play. All the pubs-restaurant-bar will be filled . It's
a good place to find a shitload of women and start your night on a good note .
Look For a brewie named '' Les trois brasseurs'' Or St-Sulpice On St-Denis street . St-Sulpice it's a big big terrasse like maybe 4 floor .
It's a very good spot in summer specially during the formula 1 grand prix. On St-Denis during this time of the year, you will lambourghinis,ferraris and other
fancy car and a shit load of women . You haven't mention St-Denis street . It's right in the Latin Quarter And my self when I go out I go there , it's really french .
You will find a lot of bar,microbrewie,restaurant,terasse . Its a not far from St-Laurent .
For the strippers you havent mention Chez Paré and Kamasoutra.
Chez Paré it's right beside of La boom . It's the most well knowned strip club in Montréal .
For restaurant most famous are Europea,Toqué and le pied de cochon .
Alfonzo, I mentioned St Sulpice and rue St Denis on an earlier comment in this thread, its my absolute favorite, best terrace in Montreal, but its quite modest looking from the outside, if you didn't know, you could walk right by without realizing that is so big inside and out back!
Terraces are a big deal in Montreal, so are restos and pubs with open fronts on the street, eating out at restaurants and just being "out" with family and friends is a bigger deal there, people don't tend to stay caged up in their apartments all day (unless its winter, of course!), this adds to the cool vibe of the city for sure!
Also, don't be so quick to write off Cresent and the west side, sure they're boring for a Franco guy like you, hell even myself a bilingual square head, I don't hang out there too much, just isn't my style. But for a visitor to Montreal, especially one who doesn't speak French, Cresent street will be fun, there WILL definitely be some fine looking women there, guaranteed, they just won't all be Quebecois.
About the strip joints there, I'm generally not a big fan of strip clubs, especially in Canada, but when in Montreal, I make a point of visiting at least one, last time was SOLID GOLD and it didn't disappoint, they know what they're doing there!
Funny story, the first time I went to a Montreal strip club, I was 18 and went with some other students from the uni, of course, we went to club SUPER SEX. When we got to the door,one of the guys asked the bouncers "can we touch the dancers?" (meaning can you get a $10 lap dance and touch/suck their tits in the private room, play with their pussies, etc), the guy says "no, try next door" so we did, and what was the name of this smaller, slightly shitty place? "SUPER CONACT" LOL good times that night!
