Last Sunday, the iconic Saint-Sulpice announced, via its Facebook page, that it was finished and that it would close its doors at the end of February, after 43 years of service. The reasons for this closure have not been disclosed by the administration.
Here is the message that was posted on the Facebook page of the Saint-Sulpice:

This bar has built its history thanks to its huge terrace, and this one was visited to excess by students from UQAM and the CEGEP du Vieux Montréal.
However, the bar encountered several difficulties due to the pandemic, which came right after a temporary closure for renovations in the fall of 2020.
In January 2022, La Presse reported that the building was on the market for $15 million. Still according to La Presse, people were interested in buying it in order to develop a commercial and residential project.
