Tours & Experiences in Montreal

Montreal stands out as one of the world’s top LGBTQ+ destinations, where queer bars and clubs define the city’s vibrant nightlife.

The regulars here customers have some serious talent (or just enthusiasm) so you can expect a mix of cheesy tunes, ballads and Quebecois classics. Mostly local, but also some national and international drag artists headline shows and sketch comedy nightly. Hot men and good company... The karaoke is always a hit with visitors and regulars in the village, having kept the tavern popular for decades.

This classic feeling neighbourhood bar generally draws older male visitors to the Gay Village.

Le Normandie also has two of the nicest summer terrasses in the Village.

The friendly and comfortable vibe of legendary Montreal female impersonator Michel Dorion’s Bar Le Cocktail has made the drag bar a popular Village hangout, with live shows by many of the best drag artists in the city, including Dorion.

9. Le Date Karaoke

There are karaoke bars and then there is Club Date, a classic neighbourhood bar in the Village whose regulars could give Tom Jones and Barbra Streisand a run for their money!

Aigle Noir made its name in the leather scene, and continues to be a lively spot with a slightly wilder and more kinky twist that's especially popular with bears.

Bar Renard

Cosy, Cocktails

Every night here is different and guaranteed to be unforgettable.

Cabaret Mado

Drag

Home of the legendary drag queen Mado Lamotte, Cabaret Mado presents shows six nights a week throughout the year.

The best time to visit is late July through August. On the ground floor, female dancers perform for the crowds, and they even offer more intimate experiences in private cabins.

The lineup fills up quickly so you're guaranteed a night of camp and lively fun. Late February to early March is also a good time for winter culture, with Montréal en Lumière and the city’s general festival energy, even if it’s not LGBTQ-specific.

Montreal Gay Bars

There are plenty of interesting places across Montreal where you can spend an evening, but if you're looking for a particularly fabulous bar or club then Montreal's Gay Village is the place to go.

They're a slightly cruisy crowd, enjoying adult themed videos that play on TVs throughout the venue and throughout the day. Formerly Cabaret Expose, it's a place for the gay guys of the village to relax and unwind somewhere that has a decidedly more mature theme than some other bars and clubs in the area. You get warm weather, long evenings, and the biggest LGBTQ+ programming of the year with Pride.

There is a female strip joint downstairs, while the upstairs cabaret is an historically queer-friendly space.

20. Taverne Marion

Located just outside the Village, Taverne Marion was opened in 2022 by the team behind Taverne Midway on The Main.

This friendly bar is unsurprisingly popular with the guys of the Gay Village, with its host of scantily clad dancers who love to socialise around the club. Look out for your first newsletter in your inbox soon!

Been there, done that? For drinks and a mixed crowd, Bar Renard is a solid pick, especially around Pride.
