Buying Glassware/Barware in Montreal

Hello Friends,

I am looking to purchase the "correct" barware for a number of different beers/cocktails for my home-bar.

Is there a store in Montreal that would have all my needs in one place? I will be looking for:
Pilsner glass
Flute
Chalice
Stein
Pint
Snifter
Tulip
Weizen
Stange

As well as a variety of cocktail glasses.

Can anyone recommend a restaurant supply place, maybe, that would be friendly toward small orders?

Thanks in advance.

    Linen Chest downtown has a barware section. I doubt they have all of that, and I find the store to be expensive in general, but you know, just another suggestion if you happen to pass by it...

      I never used them, but you might give Empire Crockery a try:

        Desprès Laporte is another alternative, though not the store Maximilien has in mind (I think that one's around the Cosmodome). They are a restaurant supply so they can order as well.

          There will probably not be a store with _everything_ you want.

          For glassware (mostly wine and spirits, have not seen a large selection of speciality beer glasses:
          12 degré en Cave (st-laurent blvd, and I think a second location)
          Vinum (city-councilor, downtown)

          For restaurant supply, in Montreal, there's Monas (parc ave.); I assume if they do not have everything in stock they will order for you.

          (there's also a store in Laval, but the name eludes me right now).

          Max.

            I agree, I can't think of anywhere in Montreal that will have all those sub-types. When we wanted authentic British pint glasses we purchased them online from the USA. However, postage was costly and was roughly the price of the whole order. I would try investigating places across the border that you could drive to, in order to save on postage.

              Could the Laval store you're thinking of be Vin & Passion in the Centropolis?

                Vinum does have a great selection of glass other than wine glasses

                Otherwise, i know that crate and barrel have a good selection of glasses as well, this is what they offer online with shipping to canada in terms of beer glasses
