Oh boy. An After Hours club called Circus. Tell me, what do you expect? Before I get to my review, i'll tell you a crazy story. My friend Patrick and I decided to go out at 2 a.m. after our friends had fallen asleep. We decided life was short and we went out. After hitting a sexy lounge bar that closed at 3, we were desperate to find another place. We ran into two young people who were slightly buzzed and they mentioned Circus and Parking and pointed in the direction they were walking in. So we followed them and chatted. The woman, Geneviéve, asked us, "Hey, do you want to see our broadcasting studio?" We looked at each other and agreed excitedly. She and Antoine showed us their studio and we marveled at where Fringe and Big Brother Canada was made. Soon after they pulled a cab for us and sent us on our way.
It turned out that Circus is in a great location, right by our hotel on Rue Denis, close to downtown Montreal. We looked at Circus, the sign was red and glowing and we knew we had to get in. It was expensive for us (as broke college kids) $25 entry, and the coat check was about $2, but you just had to have seen this place. There were two giant rooms, one on the left was a legit massage parlor, tables laid out with half naked bodies writhing in pleasure. The bigger room ahead of us was dimly lit, stages of all sizes were scattered throughout and poles atop of them. Bodies danced to catchy music with beats to no end, young people, older people, and extremely diverse! I was happy to see so many people of different races dancing and having fun together. They don't sell anything alcoholic and water is expensive as expected. The bathrooms aren't too bad, just overused.
Me and Patrick just let loose and danced our hearts out and I even got to have a romantic encounter with a French man who has never been with an 'ahshian' girl before! ;) The DJ played songs that built up and had amazing sound epiphanies that just made everyone yell and shout and jump even higher! It was amazing! Overall, this after hours club was definitely one of the best clubs i've been to--and I'm not the clubbing type of person. At all.
And there weren't even that many creepers! What a relief! -

There are really hot girls here as most of them are strippers and tourists that want to party. The party goes till 10:00 am + on weekends. It is very interesting vibe, there are massage tables where you can get massages, bars where you can buy water and redbull. This all seems AWESOME and the perfect way to end the day and get laid inside of a bathroom stall right.....until you look at the cons.
Con1 - Con-Air. You can smoke in here. I am a smoker that hates the smell of smoke so honestly i'm not a huge fan. They do have great ventilation but you still smell like an ashtray when you leave.
Con2 - Con-Artist Cover. 25 bucks on Friday. 35 bucks on Sat. Yes i am an asshole that went here twice. Cuz my friend refused to go to anywhere else
Con3 - Con-They Get better DJ's
The main room is for electronic i dont' know enough about the genre to really judge it cuz i hate techno and think it was made for people who can't dance. But i swear to god the same song went on for 20 minutes. DJ'd should have switched it on them. A side room is for trance i guess or a harder version of electronic compared to what is played in the main room. It was better in here, cuz the real electronic dancers were here...not the x heads...well maybe they were x heads too, but they at least had the steps down.
The other room was for reggaton, reggae, dancehall, and a little bit of hip hop. Dancehall is cool, but i like a mix...for the most part they played straight dancehall. The beatnuts were here on saturday and brought it back with some Golden Era NYC hip hop. But then they returned to dance hall. The girls were O.D. Gorgeous here tho.
Con-4 - I Connot Speak French.
French Canadian women are absolutely beautiful. If only i could understand them. -

What universe did I step into? This place was recommended as THE PLACE to go after the 3 a.m. last call. They don't serve alcohol here. Heed the warning signs. We should have ran for the hills when we saw the mostly male line. But my friend and I decided to chance it. Next warning: the $35 cover. Chance it? Okay! It can't be that bad. Oh, what now? Guys at the coat check are turning in the shirts off their backs... I've seen juicehead guidos at PachaNYC do this but what was this, a theme party? Sh*t, we paid $35 already.
This place is massive. It reminded me of the raves of the early 90's. I get it. Does the music have to be THAT loud? My ears were leaking blood. After walking around, we quickly realized what this place is all about. Want to get high anyone? I can bet you $35 that everyone was tripping. Maybe I should have put myself out of my misery and joined. Why did I turn away the nice guy at the adjacent urinal who offered to sell me E? If you want to smoke a cigarette, be prepared to traverse a labyrinth. It's designed to give methheads a chance to "flush the pills" when the police show up.
Circus made me want to run back to NYC. -

This place is not for the faint of heart. It's also not for the dancer who actually enjoys real music. It IS for the dancer who needs to twirl on a stripper pole, get high on X, or bump and grind with a 45-year-old tranny. Yikes!
A note about the bathroom - if you find it off-putting to watch men and women strut buck nekkid or to be offered various drugs, you may just want to hold it til you get home.Listed in: Montreal: America's french…, Potty Mouth

This place is bizarre. Extremely bizarre. Take it how you want. I like the colorful sign and my company, but...the music sucks. Balls. It made me think of how much better music is in Denver, Colorado, and that is really more of a slap in the face than anything for a Thursday night crowd.
I'd still recommend checking it out, kind of pricey cover charge of 20 for the foreigners/tourists/faded crowd. -

Was there back in September......Awesome after hours spot! Everything in Montreal closes around 2 am so this is where you go to continue the night! There are different rooms but the place is mainly house music! Had a blast with my group of friends..the place (from what I remember..) had massage tables where you can actually can get a massage, how cool is that? It's also very big and had lots of yummy lookng guys!!! Definitely would go again when back in Montreal!
