Nightlife

NEW CITY GAS

Located off the beaten track in the Griffintown neighborhood, New City Gas is housed in a complex that was originally built in 1859 for the purpose of transforming coal into gas for lighting the streets and buildings of Montreal. Today, the heritage building has been repurposed into a multi-purpose event and entertainment space that covers 40,000 square feet and two floors. New City Gas hosts a range of large events, including private functions to New Year’s Eve parties. Every week, over 3,000 people head over to New City Gas to party to the tunes of internationally renowned DJs and artists.

ALLURE BAR & LOUNGE

Another relative newcomer to the scene, Allure is located on Mackay Street at the heart of the city. Here, people come to unwind after work with a drink, relax with friends in the evening, and/or to party into to the early hours of the morning. There’s a large island bar and an expansive dance floor, along with a lounge that has its own bar and staff. Music and entertainment is covered by some of Montreal’s best live DJs and dance bands.

CLUB ELECTRIC AVENUE

Make no mistake, it’s not all about bone-shaking bass in dark rooms. This colorful location sports one a fully lit dance floor that’s straight out of Saturday Night Fever with the playlists to match. It’s especially a fan favorite for the LGBTQ community with its Hardcore Disco nights on the first Thursday of every month hosted by local drag stars.

SOUSBOIS

Part supper club, part nightclub, part speakeasy, this subterranean address themed after a forest is a popular spot in the downtown core—after the entirety of Crescent Street, anyway. Frequented for seafood platters and cocktail parties in the evening, the crowds start to really stream in when the tables are tucked away and music by resident and guest DJs starts to spin. One of the more elegant venues in town.

FLYJIN

Offers two distinct products in the same place with two different identities, all under one roof. On the one hand a Japanese bar, and on the other hand a nightclub, indeed as of midnight the place turns into a club with a spectacular light system.

CLUB PEOPL

Club Peopl DJ’s play the latest and hippest sounds of House and Techno. They also play Jazz, Funk, Indie, R & B and Soul music. They work with visual technology and set fresh, new environments on a regular basis, fitting over 350 people comfortably.
