There's not much I can say to add to the description of the club's atmosphere. It does seem like an overdecorated basement, though they're now projecting continuous video clips of silhouetted dancers on...

My last two visits here have been on weekend afternoons, so I'm combining my reviews into one. The club's atmosphere hasn't changed much over the years. Think of a tiki bar crossed...

Itâ€™s been awhile since Iâ€™ve been to this place, or any club for that matter, but the bug bit me one afternoon and I made the trek out the Pike. The clubâ€™s made...

It had been a couple years, but today I found myself driving past the Blue. The place continues to upgrade its look, though the basic layout remains unchanged. It was pretty crowded...

Located in a sleepy farm town a stoneâ€™s throw from the U.S. border, Diane follows Quebecâ€™s unusual trend of putting what are essentially hostess clubs outside of the big city of Montreal. I...

A Thursday night visit to the Montreal Jazz Festival meant, of course, another visit to Cleopatra. Unlike my last trip the place was packed. Getting a table was a challenge, despite the...

Leaving for home on a Friday afternoon, I drove past the Vermont exit to try my luck again at the Gentleman. It always amazes me that the little farm towns outside of Montreal...

My final stop of the day was at the EB. The club continues to renovate and make changes. The most obvious one was the addition of matching chairs at the stage. ...

My final stop for the night was at the Downtown, though the aggressive hawker at street level didn't encourage me to stop in. The club a similar layout to the Gentleman's Choice next...

A recent early evening weekday visit reunited me with Sassy, a girl who I had the pleasure of being with last summer. It wasn't the mind-blowing experience I had before (I'm wondering if...

My first visit to the Cadillac in several months, and I can confirm lifeisgo0d2's observation that half the bar has been removed for additional seating. I've never been a big fan of the...

After being disappointed by the other Ste. Catherine's clubs, this old stand-by turned out to be my best experience of the night. Unlike the other places I visited, the dancers took turns, which...
