As its name suggests, La Fourmi Atomik, translated as the atomic ant, is not your usual sort of place. This two-storey house on the very steep rue d'Auteuil is a cooperative that spotlights visual arts, as well as a pub and a nightclub. On the ground floor, people of all ages and backgrounds have every sort of discussion over a beer, while in the basement others dance to the sounds of loud alternative music. In the summer, folks enjoy a great terrace overlooking the St-Jean Gate.
