An abundance of restaurants, bars, and cafes line the streets near the downtown commercial district, from rue Stanley to rue Guy between rue Ste-Catherine and boulevard de Maisonneuve. Rue Crescent, in particular, hums with activity from late afternoon until far into the evening, especially after 10pm on cool summer weekend nights, when the street swarms with people careening from bar to restaurant to club. Boulevard St-Laurent, or "The Main," as it's known, is another nightlife strip, abounding in bars and clubs, most with a distinctive European -- particularly French -- personality, as opposed to the Anglo flavor of the rue Crescent area. Rue St-Paul, west of place Jacques-Cartier in Vieux-Montréal, falls somewhere in the middle on the Anglophone-Francophone spectrum. In all cases, bars tend to open around 11:30am and stay open late. Many of them have heures joyeuses -- happy hours -- from as early as 3pm to as late as 9pm, but usually for a shorter period within those hours. At those times, two-for-one drinks are the rule. Last call for orders is 3am, but patrons are often allowed to dawdle over those drinks until 4am.
