This bar is huge! The staff was so nice and people were very friendly.
Decent beers on tap, if I'm in Montreal again I will definitely come back. -

(Français après).
I like that place as an heterosexual with gay friends. It's friendly place with nice staff. it's well known as a great place for lesbians. It's mainly a lesbian bar but at the end of the day, it's really open and not really close minded on that. Good thing is happy hours is quite cheap for the area and it's like a lot of other people said, quite huge.
My friend told me they have a super low budget dragqueen show that's amazingly Kitsch and fun! I've never seen it and not because I'm not open minded but I guess it's simply not my thing. That being said, Good time, but still some low side too. Well the authorities have «clean» Ste-Catherine and St-Denis and Maisonneuve and St-Denis where there was a lot of homeless but they just went in the Village (Ste-Catherine East of Berri) and it's more filled with bums and homeless than it was before. Lot of local merchant did complain to the authorities but still there's a lot of work to do on that. The point is: there's a lot of people of welfare, semi-homeless gamblers and some barflies there in that bar, so the size help a lot in the sense you still have a quiet moment but this could be a problem for some!
C'est une place que j'aime bien comme hétéro qui sort avec ses amis gais dans un bar du Village. C'est très connus comme étant un bar lesbienne mais en fait il y a pas mal de tout comme genre de personne qui va là. Le bon truc là-bas c'est les Happy Hours qui sont vraiment pas cher puis semble-t-il les show super petits budget de Drag queen qui pour les amateurs de Kitsch seront servit à souhait. C'est une bonne place casual je dirais. C'est sur qu'avec les problèmes de démobilisation des sans-abris et des jeunes dans la rue ou la diminution des slot-machines dans les bars de MTL peuvent apporté une populasse relativement paumé et sans un sou. Pour certain sortir dans un bar ou y'a des alcoolos finis puis des bums un peu bizzare peuvent être un problème. Le fait est que depuis que les sans abris et les jeunes dans la rue ont été sortir de Maisonneuve/St-Denis et Ste-Catherine St-Denis (juste avant le Square Berri), fait en sorte que le village ont encore plus de sans abris puis ça cause des problèmes pour les marchands locaux qui recherche une business sans problème. Enfin, le fait est que Le Drugstore gagne à être grand parce qu'on a quand même la paix! C'est une bonne place! -

This place is off the hook. The location is absolutely gigantic. There are six or seven levels of bars, dance floors, and decks all surrounding a central atrium pointing down to the main DJ booth.
Friday is lesbian night and was wicked busy. The girls didn't seem to mind a few guys invading their night and seemed to be having a hell of a time. We sat on the first floor by the windows as there is some amazing people watching to be done on Rue St Catherine so we had waiter service. Our server was sweet and very efficient. You really can't ask for more. Saturday wasn't as busy but admittedly we went a bit early (10) so it wasn't packed but considering the size of the joint it's hard to say how many people were actually there.
All said from the people smoking pot out front to the ridiculous amount of room inside this bar is ridiculously fun and I'll be looking forward to my next visit to Le Drugstore.Listed in: Pride

I am not a huge fan of the Le Drugstore. A multi -level gay pub in the village.
I do sometimes like the large roof deck or outside patio which is nice.
It never seems to be "busy" always just a few people hanging out and drinking pitchers of Molson. -

I wish we had a space like this in New York. Huge, multi-level, well-designed separate spaces, not too loud, lively, lots of stuff to do, good prices, decent beer list. We went on girls night and enjoyed observing the "scene" (if one could call it that), the band, the cabaret, the girlclique politics. Great concept -- just could be slightly better executed.

I essentially agree with everything that Anna S. says below: "I wish we had a space like this in New York."
I loved the amount of space that was in this bar. There is something for everybody here. Friday night is girl night and it was super fun. The bar is ultimately mixed in age and gender, and I really liked that.
If you're a tourist, or you enjoy people watching, you should try sitting on the sidewalk patio and share a pitcher of Boreale with a friend.Listed in: 3 days in Montreal
