Inked In

Love and hate may be opposites on the emotional spectrum but they throw a darn good party.

Brand new on the bar scene is Love Hate Montreal from Miami Ink stars Ami James and Chris Nunez. Housed in a stone-walled historical building, this upscale lounge features tattooed décor and clean-cut business-types (hiding tats under their suits, no doubt).

Though not inked ourselves we enjoyed playing the part, listening to classic rock n’ roll (Oasis, Beastie Boys, The Cult), sipping Moët and admiring grunge-hipsters ordering up bottles of Belvedere.

See? Opposites do attract.

Love Hate Montreal, 160 Notre-Dame E., Montreal, 514-622-9000.
