Review from Christina T.

Arrived here around 11pm and the place was totally empty. I was a bit skeptical, but stayed anyway. My cousins and I got several drinks and the waitress was very nice.
Around 12am, the place started getting super packed and they opened the roof area. The dance floor inside was also packed and the DJ played good music. The owner of the club stopped by to say hello (my cousin is his dentist) and got us a round of drinks, which was very nice.
Overall, I had a good time. Until next time, Montreal! -

Was visiting with a group of six buddies from NYC and Detroit this weekend and stopped by around 1a.
There was a line, but it moved fairly quickly.
DJ was pretty good, was spinning mainly hip-hop and pop, put together some good mixes.
The main dance floor was packed with a ratio of at least five to one guys to girls. Underfoot was a massive pile of broken glass and spilled drinks, and there was a ton of people shoving their way through to the bathroom or to try and pick up on one of the aforementioned ladies.
With the massive amount of shoving, tight quarters and bodies it felt inevitable that a fight would happen at some point. My buddy ended up in a face-to-face with some belligerent drunk guy who kept bumping into him, but luckily we diffused it without it coming to fisticuffs.
Overall, the crowd was a mixed bag, the secondary room was underutilized (empty), the music was solid, and I think
I'm getting too old for this scene.
Oh yeah, there were definitely some under 20's in the mix.
I've gotta imagine there are better options... -

Music was awesome when i went there this past weekend for the for my final night out in montreal during this Newyear's weekend.
Drinks were decently priced, but the layout could def. be modified (I hear it's been around for over 10 years now).
Would've stayed longer but left after a drink. They wouldn't let my buddies in...... supposedly the main floor was at capacity but did they forget they have two extra rooms that were empty?
SADDDDD how doucey some clubs can be. -

Saturday night, my friends and I arrive at Tokyo bar. It was 11:45pm....large line up. We decide to wait in line. We got in within 20mins. Once inside, the party was on, great music, atmosphere was fantastic and the drink prices were very reasonable for a club on blvd. St-Laurent. The staff was great and the roof top terrace was spectacular, great option on those hot summer nights.
I recommend getting to Tokyo bar before 11:30pm you will avoid the large line up as per one of the doormen we spoke to.
I have to say it was well worth the wait. We had a great time that night and will make it a habit to go there at least once a week. -

While in Montreal a friend and I went dancing here. Great music, decent drink prices. Friendly atmosphere. A great tip for anyone young going to Montreal on a weekend go to St Laurent early and go to every bar and you get your hand stamped to go back in that way you can go from place to place and not worry about a line up.

While celebrating a bachelor party in Montreal, a friend of ours had heard that Tokyo was supposed to be a pretty cool place to go. Apparently getting there at 10:30 isn't the cool thing to do, but we had been drinking a while and really just wanted to hit it up and check it out.
After paying the five dollar cover, when all we wanted to do was get one drink and hop... we decided to fill the dance floor, with chairs. We had 11 guys, so each of us took a bar stool and headed to the dance floor... where we proceeded to get down and boogie with the chair. The bouncers didn't think this was funny... thus we were thrown out. We never got a drink... and we left the chairs.
Two hours later when we passed the place... there was a long line. Apparently it's "cool"... -

ok, so i will start off by saying that i am not typically a club girl, and i am also not a hipster.
thing is, i love to dance, but as an indie girl it's hard for me to find a place where i like the music and don't think the clientele is sleazy.
my friends and i go hunting for a place without a line on st laurent, and tokyo bar fits the bill. we peek in, and the clientele actually looks pretty cool! friendly-faced people, even some cute scruffy boys in plaid, go figure. we commit to the $5 cover and in we go.
fun dj - played warren g, the new MIA, some 90s puff daddy and some good ol' MJ. we had room to dance, and did we ever! would love to go back, and recommend tokyo bar to anyone who's not looking for the typical "club" scene but still wants to bust out the montreal dance-pants.Listed in: Montreal: America's french…

My cousin took me here during my visit recently, and he called Tokyo Bar one of the hot spots of the city. To be quite honest, I found the place boring, and the crowd looked teeny booperish, and not the ideal place for eye candy. The room with the best ambiance was the trance techno room with everything adorned in white, and looked omnious. I would have given this place 1 star, but gave it 2 stars for making a good lychee martini.

Great club. Great DJ. The cover is $4 and coat check is $3. The place was a decent size but I enjoy how the air actually circulates so it was not wicked hot like other clubs I've been to. The best about this room was the DJ. Otherwise it would have been just another club. I do have to say cranberry vodka was on the weak side.

I went to this place because it is said to be the top place for good-looking clientale. I totally doubt it as least not in my experience. It is very crowded but not as up scale as I expected. It is a ok.

my favorite bar in Montreal. not so full of 18 yr olds as other bars here, always seem busy, and I like the mix of trance/hip hop music they play.
