McAuslan is a brewpub on Rue Saint-Ambroise in Montreal, Quebec, at 5080 Rue Saint-Ambroise, in the Saint-Henri area of the city's southwest. It is a place to eat and drink beer brewed on site, and it belongs to Montreal's wider craft brewery scene, which gives the city a large number of small breweries and beer-focused bars to compare.
What a visit is like
As a brewpub, McAuslan combines a kitchen with its own brewing, so the natural way to visit is for a meal with a glass or two of beer, or a longer evening sampling several brews. It suits anyone who wants to see how the beer they are drinking is made, or who simply enjoys a relaxed table in a neighbourhood spot rather than a large tourist venue.
Around it
- Rue Saint-Ambroise runs through a part of Montreal that is well placed for an afternoon or evening of walking between cafés, bars and shops.
- Montreal's craft beer scene means that other breweries and beer bars are within reach, so a visit to McAuslan can be one stop in a wider tasting route.
- Because it is a food and drink venue, it fits easily into a day of exploring the city's neighbourhoods.
