The South Shore advantage
The Canadian Grand Prix paralyzed traffic around Montreal: Jacques-Cartier Bridge, Champlain Bridge, metro to Notre-Dame Island and Jean-Drapeau park parking became a nightmare on race weekend.
From the South Shore, Abreuvoir 132 is about 30 minutes from Montreal via Route 132 or Highway 20 (Varennes exit). Guests skipped the bridges, parked for free on-site, and enjoyed the race on big screens with cold beer and specials — the best of both worlds.

Canadian GP history
The Canadian Grand Prix has been on the Formula 1 calendar since 1967. Montreal has hosted the race since 1978 on Notre-Dame Island — first as Circuit Île-Notre-Dame, renamed Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in 1982 in honour of the Quebec driver who died at Zolder.
The 4.361 km layout blends long straights, the Wall of Champions chicane and slow corners — a demanding semi-street circuit where overtakes and pit strategy often decide the podium. Montreal remains one of the most popular stops on the F1 calendar.
Jacques Villeneuve, Gilles's son, won the Canadian Grand Prix in 1996 and the F1 world championship in 1997 — the only Canadian title winner at the top level. Every June that legacy echoes across the island and in bars across the province, including Abreuvoir 132 on the South Shore.
Patio & F1
When weather permits, enjoy our patio with umbrellas, cold beers and a relaxed vibe. The patio is open May through September — perfect for summer evenings at the 132.
