Le Date Karaoke

Cocktails, Karaoke, Outdoor Seating

Three bars offer three different vibes so you can find your crowd or simply get a taste of a range of spaces, music, and people.

This atmospheric cocktail bar draws features moody red lighting throughout and a lounge where you can relax and enjoy your drinks late into the night. Regular karaoke and drag shows accompany an impressive range of traditional cocktails that make this bar one of the most popular in the Gay Village.

Campus

Dancers

Right in the heart of the action in Montreal's Gay Village, Campus is dedicated to relaxation and mature entertainment.

Bar Taboo

Dancers

At Bar Taboo you can have a drink or two while enjoying the cute dancers.
