Bachelor party things to do
Saute-Moutons Jet Boating

Prep for the thrills of marriage by tackling the historic St-Lawrence River. From mild to wild, jet boating atop the rapids is a seriously crazy adventure.
We’d just recommend doing this BEFORE the bachelor party beers (probably not a great idea hungover, either).
Craft Beer Tour

You’ve got your buds, how about some suds?
The Montreal Craft Beer Tour is exactly what it sounds like. The tour takes groups through three different breweries and several different craft beer samples. The tour teaches guests all about the brewing process and how to pair different beers with different foods.
It’s not enough to get you drunk but it’s a good appetizer to get the night (or day) going.
Mont-Royal

It’s not all about the partying, guys. You’re in Montreal and checking out the namesake mountain is a must.
Grab a few photos with the lads and soak up arguably the best view in the city.

Cigars and bachelor parties are a beautiful tandem. At Stogies, relax on the elevated patio overlooking Crescent Street or light up inside the dark and cozy bar for a couple of stogies with the guys.
Stogies has a great selection of imported Dominican and Cuban cigars, an impressive martini list, and several TVs.

Heck, you already escaped the single life, so why not try to get out of an escape room?
A/Maze has locations spread out all across Montreal and parties can exclusively reserve rooms and try their hands at getting out of a laboratory, prison, submarine, lost temple, and so much more.
Plus, you can see which of your buddies are actually helpful before you tie the knot.
Restaurants
Part of what makes Montreal so popular when it comes to bachelor parties is the excess of tasty restaurant options. Here are a few places that are great for both hosting big crowds and serving up darn good meals.
