Open for more than 25 years in various incarnations, the two-floor Club Soda is found on Rue Sainte-Catherine in the heart of downtown Montreal. Encouraging the arts and especially young artists to perform and share their art, Club Soda works as a venue for fledgling rock bands and established techno DJs alike. It seeks to establish a community-oriented and welcoming atmosphere, and offers a large open dance floor space flanked by balconies around the sides of the building.
