The Bellevue Casino On A Swizzle Stick
As I’ve mentioned before, during the 1940s and 50s my parents often frequented nightspots that were part of Montreal’s heyday as the jazz and nightclub capital of Canada. As my mom would leave me with the babysitter she always promised to bring me back a swizzle stick! The words along the side of the swizzle stick read “Bellevue Casino Montreal Canada”.

I learned from Tom Grumley’s A Retrospective History of Montreal Streetcars that the M.S.R. was first established in 1861, though at that time the streetcars were horse-drawn rather than electrified. Electrification of the system began in 1892 and Montreal’s tramway system kept expanding well into the 1930s.
