Diamant Rouge

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.

This popular club in Montreal's Gay Village keeps regulars coming back and attracts groups of visitors with good drinks, friendly crowds, and plenty of attractive dancers. Formerly Cabaret Expose, it's a place for the gay guys of the village to relax and unwind somewhere that has a decidedly more mature theme than some other bars and clubs in the area. Hot men and good company... what more could you want?

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.

At Bar Taboo you can have a drink or two while enjoying the cute dancers. This friendly bar is unsurprisingly popular with the guys of the Gay Village, with its host of scantily clad dancers who love to socialise around the club. The dancers are mostly twinks but there's variety of types to suit everyone's taste. Every night here is different and guaranteed to be unforgettable.

Across the two floors of this venue you can find the best cabaret and dancing in the city. On the ground floor, female dancers perform for the crowds, and they even offer more intimate experiences in private cabins. Up on the second floor you can find Montreal's oldest cabaret stage, hosting performances throughout the week and other special events. The bar serves a wide variety of drinks to help the party continue well into the night.

Bar Le Ritz PDB is a spacious venue with tables situated by large front windows that open on summer afternoons so the party can move outside. It's well-known as a show-bar, but it's also good for hangouts with expanded opening hours and a great variety of drinks. The music tends towards indie rock, post-punk, and alternative tunes, providing a perfectly upbeat yet cosy space to spend a night with friends.
