Review from Vanessa C.

If I lived in Montreal, I'd be here all the time!
I spent New Year's Eve at Unity with a large group of friends and thoroughly enjoyed the music, ambiance & smoke-free environment (save for a rooftop patio). Fair warning: The drinks were weak on the liquor, but not too pricy so I guess you get what you pay for? Also they didn't have some name brand liquor (like Tanqueray gin). One last thing I didn't like? They force you to check your jacket. But honestly, the pros far outweighed the cons & didn't hinder my having a fabulous time at all.
There are several floors (four I think) & seating areas all catering to a different type of gay audience, something for everyone! One has a drag show (on the night of my visit I had a super fabulous Kylie Minogue performance) and others have varying music, from pop to dance. The music in the pop area can't be beat. Vintage Spice Girls, Kylie, Gaga, Madonna, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Britney, etc. Save for the sometimes awkward "Cotton Eye Joe," the music just kept you cutting a rug. That's all this girl needs! -

Many clubs use fog machines and fancy lighting to make the ugly people in clubs look more attractive. I feel that Unity uses them to make all the beautiful people look even MORE attractive. Something is wrong when even the ugly people are beautiful.
Why doesnt the US take some advice from the Canadians on how to make a good club? 3 floors of music playing the typical top 40 and french dance hits, countless bars...drag queens walking around pouring shots into your mouth for 2 bucks...cant beat it! I have never danced so hard in my life. I was the dancing queen for a while until some big drag queen got up and took my spotlight. it was ok. She had a feather headdress and thong. Not to mention, we left at 2am and there were still load of people showing up. Thats what i call night life!
My only vice is:
I am used to bartenders having a brain lapse as the pour my drink and giving me a VODKA and soda. However at unity they tend to pour vodka and SODA. Needless to say it takes a lot of drinks to get drunk here but they have great booze. and sugar free red bull. my life -

I had a lot of fun at this club when I was younger, and I'm only 25! It's full of very young people. It's supposed to be a gay club, but there are a lot of straight people who go. I've never been hit on by gross creepy guys at any gay club other than this one. If you're a straight guy going to this club, please take my advice...two girls dancing with each other at a gay club are not dancing for you! Do not feel free to touch, pinch, grope, or grind up on any girls in this club without asking! Please remember that you are in the Village, and that in the Village we respect everyone! We should respect everyone everywhere, but that doesn't seem to happen, so please at least make an effort in the Village.
All that to say, it can be a fun club to get drunk and silly in with friends. They've been bringing better DJs recently which looks promising. -

Unity is a solid gay club. It has it's ups and downs over the years (a fire, mismanagement, ) and the crowd left.
Renamed, Unity 2,
It is not as popular as it once was.
Located, on Rue St. Catherine, above Stock Dansuer/ Strip club.
Unity is now open Thursday-Sunday nights and has 2 floors, as well as a large roof desk, which is open in the summer months.
Cover charge required for entry after 11:00pm. -

Spent New Years Eve here with a group of 11 of my closest friends and I had the time of my life. It's a huge club with 2 massive floors, each with equally massive dance floors. The downstairs main dance floor plays your typical gay anthem party music, while the smaller room upstairs plays anything from Spice Girls & Lady Gaga to Cotton Eye Joe & Britney Spears.
The place also boasts a cute rooftop patio for the smokers, since smoking isn't allowed inside the club (thank God). Though when we went up there, we quickly came back inside since it was about 4 degrees outside. I bet on summer nights the rooftop is the place to go though.
If i lived in Montreal, Unity would definitely be a party staple on my weekend agenda. Affordable drinks & cover (on certain nights) and the best music around makes this the perfect place to party with your fellow gays.
