The terrace on the square

Taking its name from the historic park across the street, the Dominion Square Tavern has been a downtown Montreal landmark for 100 years. The design of its terrace, like the Tavern itself, is a tribute to the surrounding Golden Square Mile.

Not only is the terrace designed to last and look great doing it, thanks to its sectional aluminum construction it only takes a few hours to install or disassemble. The 22-seat terrace has been cited by the City of Montreal as an example of the esthetic levels that can be attained while still meeting city ordinances and standards.
