Is there a regulation in Montreal setting a mimimum distance between bars?
drfriendman: Yeah – I lived in Montreal for a long time, and definitely saw bars side-by-side. But my experience with this stuff is that it’s often hard to deduce what the law says from what you see on the streeet. It’s possible, eg, that there is such a bylaw, but that you still see bars side-by-side, because the businesses existed before the law was passed and were grandfathered, or because they were able to apply for an exemption or any of a million other reasons.
