Some establishments are instant neighbourhood classics. Such is the case for HELM Microbrasserie, which has been Bernard Avenue’s watering hole of choice since 2006. “My life partner opened the brewery. He’s a serial entrepreneur, with four businesses under his belt,” says co-owner Pétula Laliberté.
“But running a microbrewery requires a lot of presence, a lot of devotion, and he found that it took up too much of his time. I had just sold my four sushi joints at the time, I had completed a management coaching program, and I was convinced I had the energy to dedicate to the project,” Pétula explains. “I really loved the place, and I wanted to keep it in the family.”
Pétula decided to buy her partner out and to bring associates Denis Leblanc, Stéphane Pilon, Paul Brissette and Sébastien Brisson onboard HELM Microbrasserie, which has since found its stride and become a neighbourhood destination.

Vraimemt ridicul comme place un dimanche soir ya pas de rush on est 4 a table ca a pris 15-20 commander Apres ca une éternité pour recevoir la commande on a recu la bouffe elle etait quasi froide jy retourne plus jamais vraiment decu pourtant on mavait parler en bien de cette place
Heureuse de vous avoir dans mon quartier! L'ambiance est géniale et le choix de bières locales est assez large!
Entre amis, on se rejoint pour un verre. Et puis, on commande les tartares, les minis burgers et les chips maisons, servies avec mayo. On continue à discuter autout d'un deuxième verre. La soirée avance, et rapidement, se termine. Une soirée chez Helm est toujours une soirée réussie. Un des endroits que j'affectionne particulièrement.
Avec le grand écran dans une partie du restaurant, l'endroit était tout désigné pour grignoté et prendre un verre durant un match du Canadiens! Les chips maison sont excellentes mais très grasses. Ils brassent leurs bières et ont une belle variété. Mention spéciale à la Scotch Ale, un peu mieleuse, ambrée avec une belle amertume. La bière APA aussi est délicieuse. Belle soirée entre amis, relaxe et décontractée.
