Review from Valerie G.

Went to the rouge last night (Friday the 9 dec), we had reserved a table to celebrate a fellow workers birthday, there were 9 of us in total. We had a blast!! Music was great (second floor as we never went to the third), we ordered bottles of vodka for our group which is the way to go. The staff was nice,friendly and attentive which is always a plus and we danced the whole night, (even the non dancers got caught up in the fun). The place is big and was packed and everyone seemed to have fun, the entire room was swaying and cheering and taking photos. I recommend this place for groups looking to celebrate an event anytime. Thanks to the rouge team for making our night... we may be hurting in the morning ....but that's just part of it. The only thing you might consider doing differently is offering some advil to your guests as they leave, cause you make em party hard.

I'm going to have to jump on the "i don't get the other reviews" bandwagon.
Was there this past Friday for a bachelorette party and we all had a blast. It was busy but there was still enough room to cut a sweet sweet rug.
Annnnd cut we did!
Not sure if the divided reviews are based on age differences but I see nothing wrong with gettin' my groove on to Whoomp!? That may be because I am part of the shameful 25 and above crowd.
Drinks were insanely cheap compared to the t.dot and they accepted our credit cards with glee.
All around a great night, almost reminiscent of the good ole days...University. It was great to go out for a good time without any snobbery or douchebaggery.
Would absolutely return! -

First stop on our Saturday night Montreal club romp, we rolled up to Rouge, the only spot on this jammin' street that didn't have a line streaming down the block. Should have been the first sign, but it was early so we gave it a go.
No cover charge was a plus and as we made our way up to the second floor to check out coats, our first glances were of a filled club of people, seemingly having a good time, kinds of getting into the groove. Could it be we struck gold on our first try?
Coats checked quickly (only $1.50), we headed to the bar. Though our drinks came in the tiniest of glasses (think rocks glasses instead of collins glasses), they were only $13 for two. We would soon come to realize that this would be the highlight of the evening.
First major problem: this club doesn't take credit cards! What kind of club doesn't take plastic? Maybe it was because we were American? Maybe the machines were down? (though I didn't notice any machine to begin with) In any event, when I attempted to hand my Mastercard over to the bartender, she waved her finger in my face (no!) and walked away.
After settling the tab and taking a gander around the second floor, we knew right away this wasn't going to be the place for us. The club was kind of dingy, the crowd was less-than-appealing and the music was loud and terrible. Not ready to give up, we tried our luck on the first floor. As we walked out onto the dancefloor, the DJ starting spinning "Whoomp There It Is' and the crowd went CRAZY like he just dropped that new Kayne track. Yep, it was time to go. On the way up to retrieve our coats, there was a wretched stench wafting out of the ladies room. I mean gut-churning, nose-pinching stink. Classy, Rouge, Classy.
After doing a bit of research, I quickly learned that Rouge is a 25+ club geared towards the 'older' crowd who apparently used to frequent this other club Angel back in their more formidable years. Yikes. I'd like to chalk this one up to my big tourist mistake of the trip. Le sigh.Listed in: Merci, Montreal!, Montreal Dance Halls

These reviews mystify me.
This place is great. As are just about every place in Montreal. Lots of non-quebecers too so if your Québécoise needs a little work, it's a good place to start and work up your confidence before tackling Ballroom Bar or something.
There is great music on both main floors and it's always different (so no one can complain about "i don't like this song/this music")
A great first stop to loosen up your legs and your lips a little (but not your wallet).Listed in: Montreal, Mon Amie

Somehow I edned up at Rouge. Again. Was it any better than the last time I was there? No.
If you have clausterphobia - STAY AWAY!!! The place was packed beyond belief. More packed than I remember! Fire hazard, I would say. Dancing was extremely difficult - it was more like shuffling, trying not to get stepped on, and being constantly pushed and shoved by passers by.
There were these wafts of bathroom and vomit smell periodically on the dance floor. Really disgusting. Just a couple industrial fans on the ceiling for air cicrulation.
It was just unpleasant.
By the way, coat check is now $2.50.
Hope not to return again.1 Previous Review: Show all »

k, so i totally disagree with the other two reviews. rouge was totally fun for me & my friends (coming from new york). huge dancefloors, cheap drinks, ($16CAD for five shots), no cover, lots of really nice people, and great cheesy hiphop. dj even dropped le tigre and bunny's "we like the cars."
definitely not a place for music snobs, but if you enjoy just fun music, fun crowds, lots of pretty people to look at (or even hook up with), this is the joint in montréal. -

I have never actually been inside Rouge, the few times I tried to get in the bouncers tell me I need to "bring some girls". even the one time I got there real early.
