Else's
Hidden on a residential corner, this is the unpretentious local where the Plateau's musicians and artists actually drink — no scene, no DJ, just good company and a quiet good record on the system. I end nights here when I don't want a stage. It's the opposite of a tourist bar.
A corner neighbourhood bar tucked off the strip — where the Plateau's artists and musicians have drunk for decades.
