We should have recorded it. Other patrons were laughing so hard and amazed by our improvisation. I really appreciate the care and diligence the staff put into making sure I was safe in Montreal especially since I was a solo female traveler. Parking was easier than other Montreal areas. I was able to dine at a restaurant prior to the show. The bar didn't have food service. I will definitely go back when I revisit Montreal. I felt safe.

They've basically expanded all the great things they used to offer and still have reasonably priced, delicious beers available. However, they have made one more important change.

I somehow thought they would collect it at the door, but it was added to my bar tab. Good idea, efficient, they surely don't do that here! I was hoping to sit at a table, but they told me a previous party was still there, so they sat me at the bar, with my back to the music! I was not happy with that but since I was there by myself maybe it was to be expected? The place reminded me of The Green Mill here in Chicago, another intimate jazz club, except they serve food here as well. I had eaten earlier so I only got drinks. I sampled one of the local beers and had a cocktail. The bartender was helpful and friendly. The Alex Bellegarde Trio came on and were great. Other guests came up for a jam session, one of my favorite things about jazz. The place was not easy to find on public transportation, but maybe that's bc I took the train and walked. The area was nice, artsy and busy even at 11:30 at night. I'd go back next time I am in Montreal, but maybe take a Lyft or Uber.

There is a live band with great performance and sound. After the set, at least on Saturdays, they clear the bandstand for dancing. On the night we visited, the band started late, and when they were done it took quite a while to get the equipment off the bandstand. The recorded dance music seems to be classic '90s Afropop, not at all as adventurous as the live band, but quite welcome to the regulars, most of whom appear to be middle-aged. Seats are comfortable semicircular banquettes and a few high tables, and everyone has a good view of the bandstand. Two notes: (1) Best to bring cash, particularly if you are from outside Québec. (2) Best to stick to drinks on the drinks menu; the wait staff's English skills are limited.

Lovely little second floor music venue known for having the best sound in the city. It you're…read morelooking to rent it for the night the price is on the steep side, but you get what you pay for in terms of lovely stage, flexibility, sound quality and great sight lines. And the space is a registered non-profit so whatever you pay goes back into supporting the local arts community. The space really only functions as a venue so if you arrive early to see a show at O Patro you're likely to find yourself standing outside waiting for it to open. Same owners as Bily Kun downstairs, same chic friendly vibe.

Our nightlife is what makes our city and I really hope the provincial and federal government get together behind some actual coordinated support for these crucial local businesses. I used to live near Hemisphere gauche and have walked by all kinds of different crowds gathered outside, it's so awesome to see how different kinds of communities can feel welcomed in live music venues and bars and I love walking by and feeling, not just unthreatened, but somehow welcomed in their midst. I've sat on the window ledge here and enjoyed a cheep beer and the people watching, and I've rolled in here with a crew of badass lady friends after another bar closed and the staff let us take over their karaoke set up and drink whiskey and sing all our frustrations out till closing time, no fuss.

I can't speak to La Tulipe as a club since I've only been here for shows, I've seen Bluelight Burlesque productions here and recently came to see Daniel Ash and Kevin Haskins of Bauhaus/Tones on Tail/Love & Rockets fame and it was just the perfect place to see them for what turned out to be an amazing show full of nostalgia and tunes I thought I would never hear live again. There's an area near the stage where those who want to take in the show in general admission form can go and stand (be careful because slam-dancing always inevitably breaks out) and tables further back where you can sit, sip your drinks and take in the show leisurely. Drinks are reasonably priced and the crowd is pretty chill. I'll have to come here some Saturday night so I can check out 80s night.
