Kudos to all of you who've met your spouses in afterhours, I'm sure it'll be fun explaining to your children that mommy and daddy met on a speed binge. I mean COME ONNNNNNNNNNNNN, talking to randoms is ok I guess but most of the people going to these places aren't going to become your best mates, "Like oh wow I met this really cool guy at the Aria/Stereo last night, I cant believe he was there by himself, he was sooooo kewl!!!". There's a reason he was there all alone, he's a fuckin weirdo fucked on 5+ pills that wants to steal your functioning organs. Try a few less pills, and you'll see that showing up with a group of friends and partying with them is just as fun as talking to "That really cool guy grinding his teeth and pelvis thrusting the speaker". I'm talking from experience here, really, I stopped taking pills in January and my clubbing life has become so much more enjoyable, really it has. |

I'm sorry, but Boa-Redux was a phenomenal club. So is Stereo. So will be Sonic. All three of these place attract the same talent for all practical purposes, play the same types of music, and for the most part have the same types of people. Having been to Boa's about 5 times during its existence on Spadina Ave, I was never disappointed. Music was great, people were friendly, and having the Comfort Zone right up the street for round 2 on Sundays doubled my pleasure. It seems like Sonic will be an even more refined version of Boa and will be even better.
Stereo is also a great- club- sound is great- afterhours aren't so good for meeting people as already pointed up, but Stereobar has been a real hoot. DJ Vibe last month was one of the best times I've ever had.
Nevertheless, I don't see how anyone can say that one club is so much better than the other when they are for all purposes quite the same. Stereo has better sound. I give it that.
Some might say Stereo is friendlier than the former Boas, but I would argue they are the same.
As far is Sonic being in the ghetto, give me a freakin break. This is Chinatown, not the ghetto. If you can't get over a few bums or a couple of prostitutes, then stay home. If you want to see the ghetto, go to Buffalo NY or Washington DC or Cleveland Ohio.
As far as comparing cities, of course Toronto has fewer venues for EDM- it is more consolidated, but there is a growing bar scene. TIL, Viva, State Theatre, Republik, Beba, Footwork, the list goes on all have house nights. Afterhours type places are limited to The guv, CZ, and soon to be Sonic.
The Montreal scene is much more fragmented. There is actually less of a bar scene than in Toronto (Mile End, Stereobar, Central STation on Sunday night if you want to count that, Jacque Cartier Pub (Nemesis)), but many more afterhours. With there being so many afterhours, clientele is spread thin at times. If it is a local resident night on a bad night, sometimes they are empty. Sometimes on a good night they are full. Its hit and miss. With the Toronto scene being consolidated, generally any place you go will be packed at any time.

Haha.. hilarious thread...
I chose Montreal for the record.. I went and visited both MTL and TO last summer and got a much better vibe from MTL, a vibe I'm much more used to. Toronto seemed like such a typical north american city to a huge extent. A small, neat downtown with endless suburbs surrounding it.
MTL has that vibe, that slightly chaotic feeling to it.. New york has it, Amsterdam has it- It's hard to explain.
For the record, I often times end up meeting mad people at nightclubs, a lot of which i end up seeing again, possibly even chilling with afterwards, but never have I gone soley to meet new people 
... And if i was to go alone which ive done, i'll be dancing so much it won't fucking matter haha!
As for the language issue, I am so used to not being able to speak the same language as the place im living in, it will make it feel more like home! Actually im hoping to learn french, ive got spanish down- now i need to conquer french!
Actually judging a city on its clubbing quality is really stupid. The average Quebecor doesn't know anything about EDM nevermind afterhours. Go to any afterhours and you see the same people over and over again. With 3.7 million people in the greater Montreal area, it is only a small, small fraction that attend Circus, Aria, Stereo, REd-Lite, Millenium, etc.
Niether does the typical Quebecor go partying on St. Laurent or Crescent St all the time. There is this perception that Montrealers just drink wine and eat out dinners all the time. Again, these places are designed for a very small, niche population- college students, tourists, a few business people. The fact that Montreal might have a better vibe or clubbing quality is immaterial in my opinion because nobody really cares about that kind of stuff. At the end, people are looking for jobs, a house with a picket fence, and two vehicles in the driveway. Maybe a place to have kids too. Salaries are much higher in Toronto and people have more disposible income there. Thus Toronto is the destination of choice for the general population.
Go back to Russia.No Communists allowed.
in communist russia records play you
haha ok jay +1 for the smirnoff reference
In soviet russia, dj whores you!
Clubbing is part of a greater aspect of living in a city, its called nightlife.
Clubbing is what young people do, older ones prefer dining out late, go to a show, concert, talk a walk in the city, enjoy festivals, fireworks, whatever it is that people do at night to spend their free time. In that respect, Montreal has nothing to be jealous of other cities.
Tony with all due respect, I know that you are a reasonable man, what if you have the job, make a good living, have the house and its accessories, where would you want to live? Would you prefer having a 80-100k household revenue in Montreal or Toronto? Sure disposable incomes are higher there, but doesn't housing costs and other related costs eat whats left out? A dollar brings you farther here than over there.
I'm not dissing Toronto here, I'm sure its a great place to live.
I know lots of people that would love to live in Montreal. However, there aren't the job opportunities here that are in Toronto. You first have to get the job(s) in order to have a $80-$100K household -and sometimes where that job is is not up to the job hunter.
Second, location is partly what determines salary. A job in Montreal does not pay equivalent to the same job as in Toronto, for the most part. In my field, the financial services industry, salaries are somewhat higher in Toronto than here. At the end of the day, a higher cost of living in Toronto is made up for with a higher salary for the same job.
I'm not really partial to either city- just that Toronto has experienced much more growth than Montreal the past few decades. In some respects, this has enabled Montreal to retain its culture and fight off "Americanization". This in my opinion is a good thing for Montreal. The minute Montreal becomes an attraction for every Tom Dick and Harry to live here, it will lose what makes it special.
By overall beef was that afterhours and nightlife were being used to determine which city is better, when there are many other determinants.
Tony I'm about to go out partying right now. But I wanted you to know that there's a big section about salaries and cost of living in 6 big cities in Canada in La Presse, its in French tho.
I was not surprised that for a family, Montreal is the one where you have the most cash left in your pocket.
While as a single or a couple with two salaries and no children, Montreal was the one with the least money left.
hmm... I gotta get to work and have some kids asap
