Peel Pub used to be the cheap place to go in Montreal to have alot of beer and fun with the friends. There used to be 5 of them in Montreal.
Peel & St.Catherine
Peel & DeMaisonneuve
Old Montreal
Park Avenue
One near the Bell Center on de la Montagne (which burned down in February 2010)
They also opened one in Ottawa and one in Toronto (I don't know if they are still open)
Now there is only one left, on Peel Below St.Catherine, and it just isn't the same.
It was cool in the day, you could get $.99 spaghetti daily and $.08 chicken wings on Sunday. You would wait in line down the stairs, for a bouncer to decide if you should bet in.
There was a sign in the bathroom (graffiti, that said "Flush twice, it is a long way to the kitchen"
They had wet t-shirt contests, and NTN Online Trivia. Young adults playing quarters and other drinking games were quite common to see there.
Boy did we spend a lot of money there, but also had lots of fun.

We used to party at the one on Saint Catherine and Peel when we would come up from Vermont when we were 18. That was 12 years ago. I can't find pictures of how it used to look :(
