As long as you have a designated driver, or you call a cab it's a great place to hold a party.

What is your budget?…read more This is the first question you'll hear out of their mouth when you show up to visit their facilities. Renting the building and its furniture only did not seem like an option at all. We backed off because of the poor attitude of the staff. (+) Large space (-) Location; Low ceilings; No 'wow' effect. Please be aware that they are not asking what they can do to make your event special. They are really focused on getting the most $ out of you. The one staff wanted to charge 400$ per person for a 3 service banquet type of event or else he would serve corn to our guests! ...all of that even though we told them we would hire our own food service. This is not the way potential clients should be treated and it gave us a pretty clear idea of how their customer service is running after you sign a contract with them. We met two staff during our visit. The first one was nice but still very focused on our budget while the second one should be fired.

The latest DNA Tumor virus meeting was held here for about 200 people over 5 days. Overall…read moreeverything went very well. I wasn't a huge fan of the food. They tried, but their attempts at exotic dishes missed the mark. The room where the talks were held was very big with high ceilings and semi-stadium seating so that people in the back could see. The screen wasn't huge, but it was big enough. The last night we had a banquet in the large ballroom on the top floor, and that was very nice. It looks like a wedding venue. It would make a very nice wedding venue actually and I'm sure they have them there all the time. So it was a little weird feeling like I was at a wedding with a bunch of virus scientists.... The service during lunch/dinner was great. The waiters were nice and attentive. No complaints there. Overall, I liked the venue and wouldn't mind going back there for another meeting. Be careful with the food though.

Just your basic convention center often chosen by my firm to hold huge meetings. The food is…read moresurprisingly good, as good as I've found in convention centers. I expect dried chicken but instead got veal filet. And I don't even know what that desert was except it was freaking amazing. As convention centers go, it works. Plenty of room/rooms for a large firm such as my employer. Service is OK and we were able to get the waiter's attention which goes against conventional wisdom concerning convention centers.

Location: On the main. The closest subway stop is St. Laurent [green] and it's a short walk from…read morethere. Street parking is available [metered] but good luck with that. The place: I've been that last two years, for the artisan market/fair they have during the month of December. Last year, everything was squeezed onto the main floor. This year, they made use of the upper floor. That being said, the main floor was pretty packed. There are several kiosks set up and a lot of people, so navigation isn't easy. There's always a concern that you might knock something over, and if you're the kind of person who doesn't like to have their personal space invaded, then this place isn't for you. ou want to buy a unique gift for someone. The goods: You'll find local artists selling their goods here - from art that you can hang on your walls, to lamps, dishware, jewellery, coffee etc. It's a good place if y Service: Will depend on which kiosk you visit. Price point: It will really vary - some items are reasonably priced while others are a little steep.

The Food Lab that happens upstairs is always tasty and fun and it's great to see food happen in their improvised open kitchen. The lights in the stairs are beautiful. The bathrooms are, in fact, unnecessarily splashy.

Okay venue, but one staff member is a major liability…read more I genuinely enjoyed the atmosphere of this venue and found most of the staff to be excellent, but my experience was completely derailed by a single bartender. The blonde woman in the questionable medium grey top displayed some of the most erratic and unprofessional behavior I've ever encountered in the service industry, coming from someone regularly went out in Toronto. After struggling with a simple transaction and managing to overcharge me after multiple corrections, she appeared to have a total lapse in composure (like straight manic energy). When I questioned the price, she became visibly hostile and had the audacity to ask if I was "from here." As a person of colour born in Canada, I find it embarrassing that this brand of bias still exists in 2026--especially from someone representing a "high-profile" venue, but then again we're talking about Montreal here, the bar was low to start.... To end the interaction, she actually shoved my drinks across the bar counter in a fit of frustration (like an actual child throwing a temper tantrum). It was a bizarre, super uncomfortable and unstable display of customer service. I was more than happy to tip her colleagues, who were professional and possessed actual social skills, but this individual is an absolute embarrassment to your brand. I will not be returning to this venue, I will happily go out of my way to let anyone know to avoid this place, or anywhere that poor excuse of a "bartender". I would honestly rather pay double the price anywhere else than subject myself to that level of disrespect again. If you're visiting from Toronto or elsewhere, save yourself the headache and go somewhere that values its patrons. To the crazy blonde bartender, learn how to do your job and maybe you'll get a tip, it's not It's rocket science, LOL. I've never met someone with such a poor temper. Instead of telling your colleagues to not serve me (entirety due to your non-existent bartending and social skills), ask her why she got tipped instead of you. You have the emotional and social intelligence of a child, like genuinely. I could care less for a canned/copy and paste response from this place, just deal with that pest of a bartender, maybe teach her basic counting (1 to 10) and sign up for anger management?? Don't overwhelm her too much of shell throw another childish temper tantrum. To break it down in simple and basic words to the airhead bartender: Charging wrong price + child like behaviour = no tip Tldr; don't go here unless you want to deal with entitled people who expect participation trophies after failing to do the BASIC duties of their own job.

We were quoted $750 by the promoter -- everything was agreed on upfront. But when it came time to…read morepay, the total somehow jumped to $1,600. No explanation, no warning. The promoter clearly realized he messed up but still expected us to pay the full amount. It felt like a bait-and-switch. To avoid confrontation, we paid -- but we left feeling completely scammed. This kind of shady business practice is unacceptable. Dishonest, unprofessional, and absolutely not worth your time or money. Avoid this place and anyone affiliated with it.

Service was fantastic staff was kind and courteous and the general people we're very nice we had two couples at our table and we had a blast with them! We are going back next year! I'd recommend to anyone who is looking for a NY that's outside of the house parties and club scene the crowed is mixed and tables come in placements of 10 so 5 couples is ideal for a full table and tickets sell out fast. The music was off the hook and they gave out door prices and Gold star entertainment provided light sticks glow rings and other great party favors!

Woohoo! is right!…read more The hall just renovated the Royale Ballroom - and it looks WONDERFUL! LED lights, a glass bar, lights under the tables and shimmering crystals everywhere! The best part is that all of this in included in one VERY reasonable price! (during the off-season). The food is supposed to be great, with pages and pages of options! I can't wait to see it all come together on November 13th! : )

Very pretty old venue within walking distance of Vieux Montreal (Old Montreal), Chinatown, and the…read morecampuses of McGill and Concordia, as well as some very nice hotels and French restaurants and cafes. The pretty bathrooms with curly chandeliers remind me of those of Broadway theatres, and the ballroom is home to weddings as well as McHacks6, the 6th McGill Hackathon. Vaulting ceilings with balconies on the mezzanine level overlooking the ballroom. My main gripe is that the stairs can be very slippery when it's snowy outside, and it can be cold inside if it is cold outside.

We had our wedding here a couple months ago, and dealt with this hall for a year prior in getting…read moreeverything ready, and I really don't have much to say in the negative sense.. Le Crystal is a beautiful set of reception halls that have been recently renovated. It has an awesome reputation within the community, and these two things put together were the reason we wanted to have our wedding reception there! Upon showing up in August 2012, hoping for a summer 2013 wedding, we were told that the hall was fully booked for 2013 except for a date in April and one in September..That was something we had to struggle with..Either forget the summer wedding, or have it either somewhere else or a year later.. We decided to forego the summer wedding dream, and settle for one in the fall (good thing we did - perfect weather for a huge puffy dress!). We found Joe to be extremely easy to deal with, and signed all the paperwork. He also gave us lists of suggested vendors based on the reviews of couples who've had their weddings there, and so that was a good starting point for us to start planning. Throughout the year, we only contacted them once or twice, but once the 1 month-to-go mark hit, I think I called Joe at least once a week if not more. He was very very nice, and always extremely courteous and helpful. The night of, everything went without a hitch. They were extremely organized in having everything we wanted go right according to plan, the food was plentiful and phenomenal (we still have guests raving about it!), the hall was great, and the service was awesome. They really made everything so easy for us, and I can say with confidence that we do not regret choosing that hall AT ALL (which isn't something you'll hear from us about many of our vendors...........). Le Crystal is amazing, Joe is amazing, and we would most definitely recommend this hall to anyone getting married or looking to throw a party! 5 stars!
