1Having a Nice Night Out
Go for a drink in one of the craft breweries or in a bar de chansonniers (a bar with live folk music) is a must while in Québec City. For enjoying an outdoor drink streetside or dancing the night away in a trendy club, there's nowhere like Grande Allée!
Away from the more touristy areas, mingle with the local population and make friendly meetings in the various lively neighbourhoods.
