I have officially found heaven on earth. For anyone who is a bacon lover, you must go to Bar Brutus located at 1290 Beaubien Est. You can tell right away that it is a popular spot. We found it by following our ears to the sound of several happy diners.
Ambiance
We were seated right away even though it was very busy. Since we were only two, we were seated in the middle of one of their longer tables. While it is not what I was expecting, I really enjoyed the fact that we were seated quite close to complete strangers. The ambiance is great for an evening out and it would be a great place to go for any date night or a girl’s night out. It was a bit hard to hear one another. However, once the food arrived, there wasn’t much talking being done anyway. It is delicious. 
Food
We ordered the Redbull Chicken Wings and the infamous Jagerpoutine. I fell in love with the Jagerpoutine the moment I took the first bite. It is delicious and if you are going to Brutus for the first time, I highly recommend that you order this first. The wings are also tasty but I think it will be the only time I order them.
Throughout the night, we tried The Cherry Maguire, the Dark Side, the Bloody Brutus and the Pork Soda. They are all delicious but I think the Pork Soda has a bit TOO much pork flavor for my liking. The Bloody Brutus is my favorite drink one by far. I honestly cannot wait to go again. The food is delicious and I am so excited to try their other dishes. You can see the full menu below.
The next time I go, I think I will have to try the Kevin Bacon. How can I resist?! No matter what, I think I’ll have to get the Jagerpoutine on the side. It is honestly so good, I can’t get over it.
Here is the full menu. It will be hard to decide what you want to get once you go. Believe me, take the time to look at the menu in advance.
