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. Happy hours here are perfect to spend with friends old and new, enjoying skilfully executed cocktails with diverse staff and clientele. The dance floors are always lively, hosting drag shows, go-go dancers, and a number of event nights that draw regular and varied crowds.

The music tends towards indie rock, post-punk, and alternative tunes, providing a perfectly upbeat yet cosy space to spend a night with friends.

Bar Le Stud

Bear, Fetish, Cruising

With its relaxed atmosphere, Stud Montreal is the place to go to meet gay men and have a great night.

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.

For places to stay and go out, M Montréal is a social hostel option near transit, and W Montreal is a polished downtown base.
