brocken Posted October 22 Report Share Posted October 22 Hey there,I'm going to Montreal for the first time this weekend. I'm going to be there Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. Does anyone have some club recommendations? I'm into trance/progressive/house...thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyb Posted October 23 Report Share Posted October 23 Yo man!Simple enough, there's three clubs worthy of that name in Montreal. Sona, Stereo and Aria. All good with different styles and crowds. Sona's trys for the more underground feel. London glam/trash I'd say. Techno on fridays, with gorgeous women and a little less packed and snobbish then sats. wich are usually more House/tech-house and bring a lot more Mr Universes and their girlfriends strippers. Still lots of fun.Stereo is predominently gay and leans much more towards House. Supposedly has one of the best sound systems in the world. When the place has been put together by DJ's... it's not surprising.Then there's Aria... Good clean fun, the place itself is pretty fuckin' sharp architecturally speakin'. The DJ booth is all glass so you can watch the works either from the floor or from the bar [slightly above the DJ]. The crowd though is'nt allways as sharp as Sona's. Someone else could tell ya differently though. I'll just say it's pretty good and you would surely enjoy it but will never replace Sona.In terms of getting the right sets, check-out the line-ups: www.clubsona.com www.arianightclub.comor check this [equivalent of village voice] for listings:www.hour.caAnyway man those are my picks for after-hours. There's a shitload of regular clubs to try as well if you just wal St-Laurent street between Sherbrooke and St-Joseph.Sure you'll have a blast... Hit me back if you've got any questions.Later man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyb Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 Right I did'nt tell ya! That's my new position. Montreal tour guide... for the young and the freak.What about last week-end bella? Sona not so good? Were ya there friday or saturday?On my part, I survived hell [south shore], thanks to friends and drugs. I say champignon you say champinione. tralalala... Any news from dialectics?right see ya hon' [that smily has no corrolation to this message whatsoever but I thought I'd create psychological confusion. Nobody ever uses it. That's a shame caus'he's really OK. He just needs to find his crowd.] OK, so the vitamins have killed my brain, but that's what makes me so fuckin' charmin'. At least that's what my mom says.

pumavisor808 Posted October 31 Report Share Posted October 31 What's the best clubs for before after hours??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyb Posted November 2 Report Share Posted November 2 Right! Sorry bout the response time man. Crazy week I'm havin'.So here ya go:On St-laurent street between Sherbrooke and Pines st [Des pins in french], you've got all the "trendier" clubs. Beautifull people havin' a great time. Gogo lounge seems to be the spot these days. Right across the street, there's Tokyo. My personnal suggestion. Music's usually at least decent and the crow up for a good party. But the decor is really the high point. If you keep goin' north, you'll have "Central Station" No opinion on that one but it's definitely one of the biggest non-after clubs. That't probably where you'll get the most action before three. Skip "the Living" a little more to the North but still on St-Laurent st.... I think you'd be dissapointed.Another good spot is Jinxy On Rachel st at St-Denis. Cool spot with good music though the crowd is not allways up to the challenge. Definitely worth seein' though.One place to check out is "Bily Kun" Loungier, no dancing, minimalist electronica but hell! You're there to have a beer with the friends. It's a little like east village with a bit more glam. Did I mention the stuffed ostriches [is that how you write it?] heads on the walls?Just remembered a new place on Ste-Catherine. Sonic showroom. Gotta to try it out yet but looks pretty sharp.All right, too much writing... I'm gonna get it from Bellagrazza again:tongue:See ya man and give a call if you need [i'll leave it in the PM's ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pumavisor808 Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 Danny Howells is @ Aria on Saturday... That's why I'm thinking this might be the place... But I never really hear anything about Aria so I'm tempted to just go to Sona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
