Upper Town in Vieux Québec is hard to beat. The area between Grand Allée/Rue Saint Louis and Rue Saint-Jean is a great place to go when you're looking for places to eat or drink, as it's jam-packed with restaurants and bars. Outdoor seating areas front the Victorian buildings along Grand Allée.
Here are just a few of the fun places to go in Old Québec.
Tucked in among the sidewalk cafés is Maurice Nightclub (575 Grande-Allée Est, (418) 647-2000), which includes the upscale Charlotte Ultra Lounge upstairs. Don’t let the historical façade fool you; Maurice’s DJs ensure a lively vibe.
Across from the beautiful Presbytère Saint-Jean-Baptiste is Le Sacrilège (447 rue St-Jean, (418) 649-1985). This bar features an array of events, and not just DJs and live music. Theater nights are a cool surprise on the calendar of events. Enjoy your drink indoors or in the cute courtyard area. A picture of the outdoor sign is a must. Trust us.

Put Ninkasi du Faubourg (811 rue Saint-Jean, (418) 529-8538) on your list if you’re in the mood for beer. Local musicians are showcased, and some of the theme nights feature draws as commonplace as karaoke and as unique as nights dedicated to French music; it's one of the best places to go with friends.
