Circus Afterhours

Home of the legendary drag queen Mado Lamotte, Cabaret Mado presents shows six nights a week throughout the year. The venue is 1920s inspired and offers a variety of gender-bending and famously entertaining performances, while its namesake takes the stage once a week on a night that's always popular. There are always performances scheduled so you can find a queen to your taste and unwind with some of the best performers in the area.

This bar has gained a reputation within the LGBTQ+ community, and even hosts a bi-monthly lesbian speed dating event and other events for the community. This is a simple venue with simple pleasures from cheap but quality cocktails to an eclectic range of DJs providing the soundtrack to the perfect hangout spot. Two bowling lanes mean you can have a chill game with friends, and there's even a counter serving renowned New York styled pizza.

With its relaxed atmosphere, Stud Montreal is the place to go to meet gay men and have a great night. Spend happy hour with friends at the bar, or meet new people in the energetic nightclub area where everyone can enjoy a night of music and a party atmosphere. Stud was originally opened to serve the leather community of the Gay Village, and it since expanded to cater to a bear crowd.

Right in the heart of the action in Montreal's Gay Village, Campus is dedicated to relaxation and mature entertainment. Young male dancers perform every afternoon, while the evenings are dedicated to the more buff dancers and they even offer dances away from the main room. Both bars have clear views of the stage and friendly staff are at hand to make your night enjoyable. The bar is obviously popular with the guys, but there's also a weekly ladies night.

The Sky complex is a huge gay club and one of the largest of its kind in the country. It houses everything from hiphop to cabaret, and there's a calmer rooftop pool, spa and mini restaurant to compliment the party. The first floor restaurant bar offers drinks and snacks, while on the second floor you can catch a cabaret dinner show. The third floor is always hosting a dance party, meaning that there's something for everyone to enjoy.

If you're looking to start your party well into the early hours, this late-night club is the place to go. Circus is a three-level complex equipped with the best in lighting and sound technology, hosting parties four nights a week that specialise in house, techno, and trance music. The music is provided by locally and internationally renowned DJs who have regular spots in the club and keep people coming back.
