The good the bad and the ugly

Café Cleopatra is a mixed bag when it comes to clubs in Montreal. On the one hand it has some of the best and cheapest dances you will find anywhere and then on the other it is quite run down with dancer quality that is at times both subpar and scarce.

The setup is one main stage with some tables/chairs around them with some elevated spaces around that. There are private booths along two of the walls and a bar in the back corner. I've been here a couple times mostly on weekday evenings and have had to tip the bouncer $3 to get in and found a handful of dancers typically. They do rotate through the evening so I'd say maybe 10-15 on any given night will actually be there but usually only 5 or so are in the main area.

As I mentioned before the quality of dancers on average is not very good but a few may be in the 7-8 range. What is lost in overall quality of appearance is made up for a bit in the dance prices. $10 for a dance is a bargain anywhere and here it will typically allow your hands to respectfully roam where they please. One of the biggest difficulties I've found is actually getting some of the attention of the dancers as there is a very high customer to dancer ratio on nights I've been there.
