The Montreal Pool Room is a well known and well regarded greasy spoon (French: casse-croute) restaurant, located in the city's former red-light district on Saint Laurent Boulevard, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The restaurant has been open since 1912 (registered 1921) and is known for its "underground allure", described by some as being a "seedy goodness”. Though called a "pool room" by name, it does not have a pool table.
