Drinks & Nightlife

The Espace Public is not just a microbrewery. It's a meeting place, it's a cultural broadcasting center, it's a gang involved in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. But yes, it is also and above all a place to enjoy good beers that are out of the ordinary and not too expensive. Why the name Espace Public? Simply because we wanted to offer an unpretentious gathering space, we could even say a second salon in Hochelaga. We wanted a simple but warm space that vibrates with its community, a bit like the local bar where everyone talks, or the English pub where the whole village stands.
