You can check out Le Passeport, Pearl, and Salon Daome. Le Passeport and Pearl are right next to eachother on St-Dennis, and Salon Daome is on Mount-Royal in between St-Dennis and St-Laurent. I've only been to Daome on on thursdays, so I can't tell you about the music on fridays but on fridays Passeport has their house/techno/trance nights, it's hit or miss there.. and Pearl is pretty good, usually tech house. I'd say the best place by far is Salon Daome, such a great atmosphere, crowd, and if they're playing house I HIGHLY suggest going.

These places are underground dives, no pretentious people and bottle service.. you go to these places for the music. If you wanna go to a real club, then.. La Mouche or 1234 maybe? I dunno I steer clear from those places.

I really suggest Daome, great atmosphere, but I haven't been to UN yet.

If I'm not mistaking Pearl is closed...

Next Friday is my monthly night at Passeport (September 24th).

If you want to check out a techno night (which I will be playing), that will also feature some solid prog (from the opening dj, One Aura), come check us out!

I would defiantly go with Daome. Has anyone been to Velvet? They bring in good DJ's from time to time but i think the crowd would drive me nuts.

yea i think pearl closed down

Go to Salon Daomé on Mount Royal, always fun, always good music.

Club UN is also very nice, sound is quality and visuals are world class (they use 3D mapping projection technology):

I am actually curious about that place myself. Comments anyone?

As mentioned by the others, Daome rarely disappoints.

Velvet brings good acts every couple of weeks (at least more recently) but the crowd is there for everything but the actual music it seems. Just make sure you dress nicely if you don't wanna feel out of place. Place gets really hot too so I wouldn't overdress (though I've only gone in the peak of summer, so I don't know how it is at other times). Drinks are also really expensive. I'd say go if you wanna see a specific DJ whose spinning there, otherwise I'd avoid it for the most part.

Honestly, I think that Velvet is the kind of place where local promoters can bring certain DJs they're really fond of without having to take a major financial risk. i.e. The place is usually hopping, so they make their money, even if they don't have the ideal crowd attending.
