Pretty sure I mentioned that already. (It's in downtown Sherbrooke, of course.)
The building and bar have been in the same hands since the 1960s, and the building's been configured like that since the 1920s. It's a bit of a time capsule and since I like old things, I would like it to stay that way.
I recently met a guy (he hangs out at that bar) who sold me a downtown Sherbrooke 9-plex in 2007 when he retired - I wouldn't have recognized him ~13 years later, he recognized me. He's 86 years old now and I'm not even sure he's the oldest customer
On the other hand there are some youngsters who hang out there too, I'm impressed. There are way less bars around than even back in my day so on a per capita basis the remaining ones have an easier time, even when they don't change with the times, apparently.

Well, the stories above the bar (an hotel still configured as such) are nowadays operated as SRO. Think Vancouver DTES pre-war hotel - because that's exactly what it is. There are whores among the tenants upstairs and they do hang out at the bar, if that answers your question. (Not sure yet to what degree I'll want to clean that up.)

Nope to all these questions
