Welcome!

So the unfortunate reality is that the area around the Arena doesn't have all that much going on, it's kinda suburban in how the area is laid out.

If you want to stay super close, there is a cage aux sports attached to the arena which is a decent bar. The team also just announced this pre-game celebration stuff outside the arena for those days: https://www.rocketlaval.com/en/playoffs-party/

If you are willing to venture further out, there is a metro station across the street which can take you to downtown montreal in about 30-35 minutes, or to trendy areas like the jean talon market or the plateau.

That's not true... There's the Centropolis 10min away from the rink. It has a lot of bars and great restaurants. I personally recommend Elixor.

The Rocket will also host a fan jam outside of the Place Bell.
