Tavern Chic
For anyone who knows a thing or two about Montreal's trendy Plateau Mont-Royal district, the name Bily Kun probably rings a few bells. A favourite neighbourhood hangout for local area residents, as well as partiers from across the city looking for a more chilled out alternative to all the cheesy dance clubs that downtown Montreal has become famous for, Bily Kun is the perfect place to grab a few beers with some friends without having to worry about what you're going to wear.

The Look
Here you’ll find dark woods, pale cream walls, and modern lines with good lighting. It’s the kind of bar that’s perfect for a first date; subtle and chic without the cheap feel of many of the other pubs that offer drinks as reasonably priced as Bily Kun, which is pronounced Billy Coon. Here you can sip, chat and take in the music.

Ostriches Overhead
Upon walking into Bily Kun, newcomers may be taken aback by the rows of stuffed ostrich heads that overlook the bar's activities and provide the perfect icebreaker for any conversation. But after a few visits, the famous ostrich heads fade into the background, as Bily Kun presents a live DJ every night of the week beginning at 10 p.m. Other reasons to visit include the bar's famous line-up of live jazz duos and trios on several nights of the week. And best of all, visitors to Bily Kun will never have to pay a cover charge.
