Even though this can hardly be considered news since the Philémon bar has celebrated its 1st anniversary last December, only a few days ago the media have revealed that Jeff Stinco from Simple Plan is actually its co-owner.
This bar, which has gained a huge popularity among the citizens of Montreal in the past year, has a very sophisticated atmosphere. It is located in the old Montreal and consists of one main room, which is dominated by a central round bar. Apart from food, the customers can enjoy a variety of red and white wine and also champagne.
Jeff has mentioned his bar in one of his tweets back in December to celebrate the 1 year of its existence and recently has spoken about it publicly again in an interview for Montreal.tv that you can check out below (thanks to Helene for the translation from French):
Judith Perron: Jeff, we know you’re often on tour but when you’re in Montreal, where do you hang out?
Jeff Stinco: Well, I’m gonna say the truth. I live a few meters from here, in the Old Montreal. I go to Philémon, it’s my bar! I love Philémon! I don’t talk about it a lot. I think Philémon is the best bar in Montreal.
