Most of the comedians are up and coming or starting to perform for their first few times. As for the actual bar, it could use some updating. It did not feel so clean inside and was quite dark upon entry of the venue. Not sure why this was, as when I arrived, they were getting ready for the stand up comedy show. If they focused on cleaning this place up and making it more appealing, then I would probably add another star to the review.

First, I must tell you a story of me & my pals bored on a Sunday afternoon at Hooters at Crossgates Mall in Albany. There were several of us talking about doing something spontaneous and one said "Ever been to Montreal?" "Umm...NOOOO! Let's jump in the Blazer and ride." We head north for over 4 hours driving into the unknown, wondering what type of adventures we would have. There was an air of excitement with that "going to another country" feeling. Road trip bitches...more than that because it was UNPLANNED ROAD TRIP. We were wondered if we should smuggle a shitload of Molson's XXX back with us. (Used to be illegal in NY back in the day) Good thing we didn't... We stop at border patrol and they're looking at our licenses. Typical "Why are you going to Canada?" type inquiries. We were asked to get out and wait inside their detention center. Yes...detention center. We walk in and to our left, a glass room with over a dozen middle-eastern people. Men, women and children. To the right, 6-8 Hasidic Jews, just waiting... We sit down and know that a SUV loaded with 4 guys, one girl, all minorities and one of us with the last name HASSIM is gonna conjure up some questions. Everyone...EXCEPT ME, were asked to go into a room alone with the border officer. To this day, I still have no idea why. After hanging out for almost 40 minutes, we're on the road again. We found Urgence later after leaving a strip-club (don't ask). One of the strippers suggested it. Damn...she was right on. The club was in this suburb area away from the city. It was in a HUGE warehouse type building. It was 3 days before New Years and there was a tent in front of the door with cloud-like rolls of vapors from the heat inside. This place was dark and hot. Lasers flying everywhere while the main ballroom had the illest hip-hop playing. Packed with people just dancing like their lives depended on it. Truly amazing was the only way to describe it. Me & Mike wandered into the techno & house room. FUCKING SICK!! The beats were beyond bone-crushing and the lights were pheonomenal. Pure bass was my dinner that night. I had my glow-sticks and I did my thing for a solid hour before I went back to hip-hop land. After a couple of hours of hard partying and noticing that there was not ONE fat person anywhere in this club, we took off for NY. Not trying to be rude, but everyone in there was fucking hard-bodied out. Still a great fucking night. So we're on the road, it's Monday morning around 6:30 and we just passed Saratoga. People are knocked out. We pull over and I "call in sick" to work. Did I want to go? Hell NO!! I also had no idea if we would get back in time anyway. We got home after dropping people off left and right at 8:17AM and we all passed out. GREAT NIGHT all around. Best club EVER.

I left some of my homophobic friends in a bar on St. Laurent and adventure into the night. If you are single, like me, fed up of snobby clubs in Montreal, give this club a try. Admission was 6$, actually free if you compare it to other Montreal clubs. Staff is so friendly that you want to adopt them, drinks are beyond reasonable (paid 5$ for a gin-tonic and my friend had a 5.50$ local beer), with a good variety, huge dance floor and amazing sound. People going out there are grounded, mixed crowd, peaceful and very friendly. There is no particular dress code, I only assume that could be labeled as casual.

My friend loves Spanish music and especially Salsa dancing so this was right up her alley. We took a cab to the address and we got lost. This place is difficult to find, it needs a better sign out at the front. When we found it we opened the door to reveal a very long flight of rainbow colored steps that lit up...so pretty! Females entry i believe was $5. At the bar area we shared a couple drinks and like a club it was quite expensive which we knew would happen. Finding a spot to sit was okay but flagging down someone to take our order was a bit of a hassle. We were at the bar initially but they asked for us to be seated and someone will come to us. We got a few cocktails and they were all made extremely light for the price we paid. We figured it would have had at least a bit more alcohol and not taste like it was a mocktail. Luckily the dance floor is a 5/5. We got to dance the night away and every 30 minutes or so they turn on their fog machines. Can't see a single thing in front of me... we found this quite hilarious so we didn't mind at all. The dance floor is quite small but just perfect for the small crowd (surprisingly empty on weekends). I would come again i did find it more interesting than a few of the other clubs we went to that night. The palm trees, the lights everywhere, it was surely a sight to see.

All of us were in their sweating and dancing the night away. Immediately upon entrance, we were brought a bottle of Moet and sat at a table right alongside the dance floor. That made for easy access to dance the night away or sit down whenever needed. There was a healthy mix of Latin music to keep you moving all night. They played something for everyone. Despite be super packed, everyone was respectful of one another and you can tell that it's a local spot! I did use the restroom and it was relatively clean for the environment. I believe entry was complimentary for both of us. I will be back! Ambience: 5/5 Drinks: 5/5

It's like showing up at a line dancing club and being upset they are playing country music. look, if you're unfamiliar with this culture, if you have never experienced being in the same room with someone on drugs before, if you're not well aware that bylaws prevent the sale of alcohol after 3am, or consider that operating such a venue is going to be costly and some of those costs are going to be handed down to the consumer - then yes, obviously don't go. Save yourself the $50 and the typing you'll have to do on a 1 star review later. This is not a venue where a site like Yelp is going to be of much use to you. If you're going here because you're aware of the reputation of this place for audiophile-quality sound, and enjoy underground dance music culture then you're going to have a good time. If you're only showing up because you're a tourist who is looking at a list of clubs and you see this one has some attention, it's probably best to steer clear. this type of thing isn't for everybody. it's mainly going to be big room techno, a genre that offers limited thrills to many of the uninitiated. if you already know you like this music, you'll be good. Stereo absolutely does live up to the hype in terms of its famous sound system, and it's a thoughtfully laid out club, and a fun, safe (honestly the people who feel unsafe are people unused to after hours dance party culture/seeing otherwise harmless people on drugs etc.) place to dance. However, a place like this is never going to have the romantic DIY underground appeal of a TBA warehouse party, or some european clubs, and as such is a little soulless and pulls a wealthier downtown crowd who are a little soulless themselves. Definitely a feast for the ears but I struggle to imagine having your absolute best dance floor memories at a place like this.

Easily one of the best clubs in North America. A lot of the negative reviews clearly come from…read morepeople who didn't bother to read the simple rules that are posted in huge font in multiples places around the entrance and coat check. The rules are straightforward: 1. No alcohol 2. No gum 3. No photos or videos (... also the unofficial rule that the right side is the gay side and the left is the straight side by the end of the night. It's not an actual rule, but a cultural thing). Complaints about it being alcohol-free, having gum taken away, or being told to put phones away miss the point entirely. Those are exactly the kinds of behaviors the club is trying to filter out, and it's part of what makes the experience what it is. Don't go expecting a flashy or luxurious venue. There is no VIP area on purpose - everyone in the club is considered equal. The lighting is minimal, and the layout is simple... mostly a large seating area and a big dance floor. You're there for the sound system, which is arguably the best currently functioning club speaker system anywhere on the planet, and for the atmosphere, which is on another level. There's a reason it consistently ranks among the favorite venues of top DJs worldwide.

And the drinks are strong! The bouncers are really cool, the bartenders are really cool and the people who come here are generally a cool and eclectic bunch. A generally younger crowd and it seems to be mostly local and college kids but you'll see some older folk in their later 20's (like myself) in there. The music is honestly low, vibrational, top 40 piece of shit non-sense but since this place is so cool, I can forgive it. Especially if you get smashed enough, the music will be Beethoven to your ears. There's a small, decent sized dance floor but the place is pretty big to bring the dancing to other areas. Its really a cool place and I most definitely will return to La Shop when I come back to Montreal!!

Entrance is actually $3 not $2 (BTW)…read more Great atmosphere, pretty decent music! The crowd is between 19-23 (rough estimate). All shots, drinks, bottle of water, coat check everything (except for entrance) is $2! The alcohol wasn't even watered down, as I expected it to be. Didn't quite enjoy the stinger shots. Prefer the ones at Madhatters. They have a somewhat small dance floor (this is great considering that it is a lounge/bar and not a club. There was also a foosball table. Staff were nice. Bouncers didn't have an attitude (as you regularly see in clubs) so I started to like it before I even got in. Staff are super friendly too! Bartenders are quite fast too! Definitely would recommend this place if you want to get drrink and not break your wallet!
