THE TAVERN is one of the most overlooked features of the nineteenth-century urban landscape. This article examines the career of one Montreal tavern keeper to illustrate the intricate connections between drink and working-class culture along the Montreal waterfront. Recreation, social services, and labour activities all relied upon the tavern as a working-class stronghold. By the late 1880s, however, the role of the tavern diminished with changes in the harbour's casual labour market and with the successes of the temperance and urban reform movements. This decline influenced the nature of working-class response to industrial capitalism. LA TAVERNE REPREESENTE un trait dominant du paysage urbain au XIXe siecle. L'article se penche sur un tavernier de Montreal pour illustrer les liens entre la consommation de biere et la culture ouvriere dans le port de Montreal. La taverne comme lieu de detente, de services sociaux et d'animation ouvriere represente un des chateaux-forts de la classe ouvriere. A la fin des annees 1880, cependant, l'importance de la taverne diminue a cause de transformations fortuites de la main d'oeuvre portuaire et a cause des succes des mouvements de temperance et de reforme urbaine. Ce declin a influence la reaction des travailleurs a l'egard du capitalisme industriel
