Casa del Popolo

Mile End · Live venue / bar · $$

This is the spiritual centre of the scene. Founded by members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, it's a tiny room — maybe sixty people — where the city's experimental and indie music happens, and a bar with a good vegetarian kitchen and a leafy back terrace. Arcade Fire and Do Make Say Think played here. It's also a main venue for the Suoni per il Popolo festival.

Founded by members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor — the small room (cap ~60) at the heart of Montreal's indie and experimental scene.
