Le Trèfle, a New Irish Pub in HoMa

Actor Rémi-Pierre Paquin (Les Invincibles, among other film and television projects) is a principal in a new Irish pub in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. Le Trèfle is an offshoot of a Trois-Rivières pub of the same name. One Martin Veillette is a co-partner in both establishments.

"We're in renovations and our goal is to open for St. Patrick's Day," Paquin told Le Huffington Post Québec last October. "I'll give the time that I can to the project. If I work a lot, I'll be less present but when I'm less busy, I'll be there."

The mid-March timeline did not pan out, obviously, but Le Trèfle is now set to open any day now. The pub will offer a considerable assortment of suds - 32 on tap and a further 80 by the bottle.

While the original Le Trèfle food menu in Trois-Rivières seems run-of-the-mill on paper, HoMa punters may just be receptive to well-made pub grub.

This description of the new venture comes from Le Trèfle's Facebook page:

Located in the heart of Hochelaga-Maisonneuve in Montreal on Ontario Est. Le Trèfle invites you to taste more than 100 of the best beers, renowned Scotch Whisky and a varied, quality bistro menu

As soon as you step foot inside you will be impressed by the beauty of the surroundings. Stone walls, hardwood floors and a copper-top bar. All of which gives our Irish pub a friendly atmosphere.

Whether to meet friends or get together as a group, our team offers a warm and cordial atmosphere. And if you are alone, you will not stay so for long.
