So are they going to just rent out the place, or is the building closed for good?

It's amazing how much you can get attached to a place. Everytime that I pass that place I will always say to myself that i had some of the best nights of my life there.

For a person who didn't like drinking and mixing edm. Aria was a godsend. Plus unlike most of the clubs in the U.S Aria had its own charecter. After the close of Sona, Aria represented all the unique and wonderfull things that I loved about the afterhour scene in Montreal. I could always bring friends up there and have them be blown away by the scene. Sadly most of what I loved about the montreal scene seems to be dying. I'm debating abandoning the club scene altoghether and just attending massives after dec 2nd. Then again I don't know if thats possible with my addiction to EDM but the death of these two clubs will definitely afftect my descision to go out.

wow it has been a little while since i have been on the mtl thread, this is really sad. i would have to say i was pretty sad when the original sona closed, and to see this happen is right up there with that...... i will always remember nye 2004, sven vath, and you gotta love PREACH!!!

awwwwwww....

yeah i definitely expected aria to have a NYE bash...closing of a year, closing of a club, it's more complete that way.

i'm really doubtful if i'll be able to make it up. it's too bad. had a lot of great times there...but we'll have a lot more great times at new places too.

Dan, I obviously cannot make it out for this event.. so you will have to party for me too. (unless I skip Josh Wink and come for this, but that is unlikely)

Man, I knew this day would come eventually but it is sad for Aria to go. Sasha Labour Day weekend 2003 was the first time I stepped foot into Aria, the first time I stepped foot into ANY afterhours club period.
The vibe, the people, the club itself was simple . I have always put Aria in my top clubs having been to and am really sad that I won't be able to make it for the closing party. It is too bad they didn't have the closing party on NYE with Preach playing there (although he is at Silver).

So many memorable nights there and so many good times had.
Hell, that is where I met and partied with most of you guys for the first time ever. I can honestly say, I have never had a bad time at Aria ever out of all the times I have been.

I suppose all good things must come to an end eventually whether we like it or not. Good luck with whatever you pursue next Biggy!

Wow, this is sad news. I dont' go up to party in MTL that often, but when I did, Aria was always at the forefront of my list. There were many memorable nights, but probably one of the best nights of my life was there, with no big names, and residents. I'll remember that night forever. Its sad to see such a historic venue closing.
Won't ever forget Aria.

Marcus will be there.

I really want to go....
If I come up that weekend I will try to stop in for a little bit.
If it's really their last night, I have to go
