Top 8 Best Clubs in Montreal, QC [2024 GUIDE]
Best of Montreal
New City Gas
Located directly in the heart of Griffintown, this heritage building has become one of today’s hottest spots in town. Originally built in 1859 the New City Gas complex used to transform coal into gas for lighting Montréal’s streets and buildings. Today, the heritage complex has been transformed into a multifunctional event space encompassing over 40,000 square feet on two floors. Flexible enough to adapt to client needs, the building can accommodate up to three different rooms, each possessing the combination of historic character and contemporary design. When re-opened in 2012 as an event space, its existing shell was maintained and a live venue was built out with a state of the art sound and light experience, while the original vintage and historical elements were restored. New City Gas’ impressive roofs and stone masonry remain a strong and evocative presence in the urban landscape. What was once an energy source for the city’s lights is now a glowing presence in the Montreal nightlife scene; New City Gas caters to over 3,000 people each and every week.

This longstanding Montreal, Canada afterhours outpost does its country proud with an infamous sound system that pays homage to its name... “Music is the answer!” announces the website for Stereo nightclub. Not only do we agree, but it appears DJ Mag readers agree that this Montreal gem is the answer for music – house and techno, to be precise – voting it the north’s Best Venue. Founded as an afterhours club in 1998 by DJ-producer Angel Moraes, and now owned by Tommy Piscardeli, the venue has long been revered for that which it is built on and named for: its sound. Any raver who has had the good fortune to have had a spin on the Stereo dancefloor can attest to an experience of aural immersion that they’d be hard-pressed to find elsewhere. For that reason, the club has maintained a staunch loyal following, both throughout its city and beyond. Nearly 20 years running, Stereo has seen the scene shift and grow, and has adapted in its own ways – overcoming intense fires in 2008 and 2009 which brought the partying to a temporary halt, and more recently, taking action against the widespread and dangerous use of GHB. Last year, in a move that made the party scene sit up and take note, owner Piscardeli announced the club’s new zero-tolerance policy for GHB: anyone caught with it will be banned from Stereo, forever. "GHB is killing the club scene the world over," the club stated in a Facebook post. It’s a bold but probably not unwise move, and it is not too far removed from Stereo’s other longstanding practice of working with local law enforcement to monitor drug use in the club, asking partiers caught with drugs on hand to either place the substances in a locked “drug box” only accessible by Montreal police, or turn around and leave the venue. Of course, it’s not all rules and rigor at Stereo, and the pool talent they bring in to move their infamous dancefloor – one that is modeled on New York City’s famed Paradise Garage – is nothing short of what one would expect to see on any night across Europe. From house music legends like Danny Tenaglia, Kerri Chandler and John Digweed, to techno’s finest like Nicole Moudaber, Alan Fitzpatrick and Pan-Pot, Stereo’s consistently solid line-ups continue to keep its floor packed. Combine that with a crystal clear analog sound system that’s good enough to impress any audiophile, and you have the making of a club deserving of awards.

Newspeak
Newspeak borrowed its name from George Orwell’s famed dystopian novel 1984, but the outlook when you step into this nightlife spot is anything but dismal. With a long, well lit bar, plenty of space around for standing, and a more than sufficient dance floor, it’s a comfortable hang out spot that always has room for everyone. The amazing shows at Newspeak are definitely a major draw, but Montrealers can always be found lingering at the bar, sharing stories, and enjoying themselves even when the stage is empty. Relatively new to Montreal’s nightlife scene, Newspeak just opened in early 2015, but it has already created quite the buzz. Located in the heart of Quartier des Spectacles, the club looks like a speakeasy straight out of the prohibition era, but with a futuristic twist that creates a very interesting vibe. Its avant garde aesthetic is complimented by the various indie, electronic, and other alternative music artists who have played countless shows at the venue since it opened its doors. Contrasting massive, stadium style setups that can be awesome, but completely lack an intimate feel, Newspeak was made to cater to the fan that really wants to get up close and personal with their favorite artists. The company behind the venue, SJU, is known for curating incredibly unique live events with unconventional international artists and the trend has definitely continued at Newspeak. Part of their mission to make non-mainstream music accessible to the public includes throwing all of their shows at a very reasonable price, usually ranging from $10 to $15.
