New user around these parts and I thought I would contribute to this thread.
If you guys are looking for a good time with affordable drinks and a good ambiance, I would suggest
Taverne Normand on the Plateau.
Here are the coordinates/links/info:
1550 Av. du Mont-Royal Est
Tel : 514 525-8748

A little information about the place :
Every table has a sign on it with the name of a player on the Habs roster. If said player scores a goal during the game, free shooters to everyone sitting at that table.
I think the place looks great, not too expensive (especially for a bar located on the Plateau), and the people know how to have good fun.
I'll be there with ~20 people on the 12th against the Loafs. Hopefully some of you guys give the bar a try soon!
