Review from Johnson C.
Vancouver, BC
Was relatively undouche-y considering that (a) it's a big club downtown, (b) it was New Year's Eve and (c) it was open bar. Bartenders were getting swarmed but they all worked pretty quickly.
Good lightshow and the upstair area does offer some privacy and a place to rest for a bit. Or a good vantage point to toss your underwear onto the dancefloor... just saying, is all...Listed in: Un garçon de Vancouver à…

Review from Art O.
Really loved this venue during Jazz Fest. We got here a bit late (my bad - I figured shows would start late as they typically do in SF) but we still managed to be able to see the show.
We saw Eliza Doolittle (catchy pop songs with an incredible voice for a young woman!) bang out the tunes in this intimate venue. They set some tables up from so it was easier to see in the back. The sound was just right and the lighting too.
Upstairs they had seating that went around the venue. Wish we would've got there earlier to get some of those seats!
When we come back to Jazz Fest (which we hope won't be too far in the future) we'll definitely look for some shows at Club Soda. -
Review from Jon S.
Went here for a concert... terrible acoustics and awful sightlines to see a show. The amps made the instruments sound like jackhammers and fuzzed out boom boxes from the 80's. The sightlines to the stage were narrow and easily blocked by tall individuals if they passed in front of you.
On a pseudo-positive note, the bartenders were friendly... but they poured heavily watered-down cocktails. Stick to bottled beer if you get dragged here with friends for some reason. -
Review from Christopher M.
Club Soda isn't much of a venue, just a medium sized stage with an open floor. The bars were unimpressive, and the lights and sound system could use a makeover. There's a balcony that wraps around the sides of the building which would be great for watching a concert, but useless for a dance club unless you just want to sit and people watch. There is only one bathroom per gender, and they're small and not well placed.
I was there for a New Year's Eve party, which I'll review elsewhere as it was a separate promotion.
Regardless, I wouldn't come back to Club Soda unless there was a really good band playing. -
Review from Paul C.
One fine August day, a couple friends and I were walking down Ste. Cathrine looking for something to do.
What appeared to be tour buses and metal roadies behind a large run down brick building were exactly that.
We went over, asked them who was playing and were astonished.
It was Necrophagist, Into Eternity and a host of others on the Canadian Summer Slaughter Tour (2008).
Tickets were only $25, so we bought 5 for all of us.
The place wasn't overly huge but the perfect size for a metal show.
The moshes were unlike anything around the Boston area, much more intense, more people and throughout the whole song.
Luckily, this is Montreal so everyone was like child size to me!
All in all, I plan on coming back here, and planning a vacation around a metal concert if possible! -
Review from Chance X.

This is the top venue for underground music scene in town. Underground music was not my style but I went when I got a free ticket from a lottery. It was a british band playing, apparently pretty famous in the 90s (again in the underground music world). This place is like the Middleeastern in Boston, except it is bigger, a bit nicer (no bear bottles on the ground), good sound. I guess if u r into punk, u will like it
