Bifteck is “The” artist hangout on lower St-Laurent, known for its crowd of starving musicians, struggling painters and poets and amateur philosophizers. Those who have “made it” in their respective crafts also still frequent this unassuming dive bar, making for an eclectic blended crowd eager to soak up the grunge vibe, cheap beer, 2 for 1 mixed drinks and free popcorn. A quaint and very cheap little bar, Bifteck is also popular with mainstreamers for its laidback attitude and pool tables (an increasingly scarce sight on lower St-Laurent).
