I can't wait for the weekend... (continued)
A relative newcomer to the Montreal clubs scene but not without ample nightclub experience is Light Ultra Club taking the Montreal nightlife world by storm. Their New Year’s Eve party was a huge success as was reported by several of my crew. There were lots of out of town hotties there! The sound is amazing and so is the décor and ambiance. On their web site you can listen to an exclusive D.J set recorded live at this hot Montreal club. Located on Crescent Street, they’re open from Thursday through Sunday from 10:00.pm. to 3a.m with the exception of *Sunday (club opens at 11:30pm). The dress code is casual elegance and for your convenience here is their schedule:

Created by formula 1 racer Jacques Villeneuve Club Newtown is definitely the place especially on a hot summer night with it’s street level and roof top terrace.(Montreal Grand Prix is hot here!)The lighting, the music and décor of Club Newtown is as varied as the patrons who visit it. Playing groovy, RnB, European disco, house and a good mix of older favorites, Club Newtown attracts an eclectic clientele and offers an interesting music selection to get “Ya shaking” You can meet up with friends before, in their lounge area on the first level before heading out.

Like many tourists, you probably come to Montreal to catch a hockey game, concert, museum tours, a wedding, or to shop 'till you drop (one of Montreal local's favorite pastimes and a real treat for visitors) - there are countless reasons, really. One of the most popular among generations both young and old, however, is the Montreal nightlife. So intoxicating and distinct in its passion and excitement, it keeps tourists coming back for more several times a year. With such a diverse selection of offerings, you can make your visit an entirely different experience each time you visit.
Montreal nightlife boasts an abundance of extremely cool, extraordinarily hot Montreal clubs spanning Atwater to St. Denis Street. Be forewarned - these Montreal clubs are tremendously popular and teaming with people wanting access to their DJs and dance floors. Expect to stand in line outside (a great place to meet a new dance partner) and to pay a cover charge for most of the hottest Montreal hangouts. A word to the wise - be sure to layer your clothing if you're in Montreal during the cooler months because once you cross the threshold of your chosen Montreal club, the temperature starts to climb significantly. As you approach the dance floor, you'll want to strip off all but your most modest layer and join the sweating bodies writhing to the Montreal music.
When planning to hit the town for Montreal’s nightlife, be sure to leave your T-shirts, jeans and sneakers in your hotel room. Although casual dress is perfectly fine at the Montreal pubs and smaller Montreal bars across town, the trendy Montreal nightclubs and Montreal restaurants do have a dress code. Black ties certainly aren't necessary, but if your goal is to blend into the Montreal nightlife scene and get past the doormen, you'll want to don your coolest threads. Comfortable elegance is the trend in fashion for both men and women this year, with the younger generation continuing to bare their midriffs under scant camisoles and blouses. The latest word on Montreal's Fashion Alley is that powder-blue and pinstripes are the hot new menswear trends for Spring/Summer 2004.
Looking for great Montreal music? Whatever your preference, you are pretty much guaranteed to find it here. Check out the Montreal clubs for a night of feverish Montreal dancing or casual flirtations to the sounds of Montreal’s hip hop, Montreal house, Montreal rock, Montreal disco or the increasingly popular Montreal Latino rhythm. Yes, you did read correctly - disco is back and more than alive and well - booming from the speakers at many Montreal dance clubs. If you prefer more of a variety, there are a number of multi-level Montreal clubs which offer different genres of music on each level… so when you're tired of the disco beat, trek upstairs to the house or hip hop floors, if you are so inclined. If you're in the mood for more traditional Celtic, folk, blues or rock, head on down to the Montreal pubs lining Bishop, Crescent, St. Laurent and St. Denis - many of which showcase live Montreal bands - some headlining bands every night of the week.
Let's not forget jazz music now - in the home of the world famous Montreal Jazz Festival, you can find great, live jazz in many of the Montreal clubs spread throughout downtown and Old Montreal. Homegrown Quebecois sing-along pubs can also be found in Old Montreal on St. Paul Street - definitely a must experience for any newcomer, and although most songs are in French, the gregarious crowd will have you singing along in no time.
Looking for something a little more relaxed? Most downtown hotels (and there are countless) house quiet piano bars or lounges where you can fall into large, comfortable sofas and chairs and actually carry on a conversation at a tolerable decibel.
Perhaps you're in search of the traditional Montreal cigar lounge? Enjoy dragging on that ol' stogie, do ya? Well fear not, although far from traditional, you'll be welcomed with open arms at many of the Montreal lounges throughout the city that cater to those with a definitive taste for fine Cuban and other imported cigars. So, don't be shy - sit back, relax and go ahead - light up that sweet (ahem!) smelling stogie.
It's 3:00 am, the bars are closing and you are ravenous - with good reason - you've most likely just danced the night away. Don't despair - we have a vast selection of restaurants and diners open until the wee hours. Whether it's our deliciously famous smoked meat, burgers, steamed hot dogs, ethnic cuisine, or even breakfast - you can easily find them scattered within the vicinity of most Montreal nightclubs and Montreal hotels.
It's always a good idea to consult our Montreal tourist guide before heading out for Montreal’s nightlife. It is a great source of information and is in-tune to what's going on in the city. Allow us to help you plan your evening by suggesting a variety of venues that correspond to your desires - just flip through our pages.
Montrealers love life and love to smile - so bring your widest grin and lots of energy to burn.
