Tucked away in an otherwise wiped red light district, Cafe Cleo is (in my humble opinion) one of…read morethe most important adult entertainment institutions in Montreal. Why does it still stand? Good question! In the 2000s while the city was busy expropriating other red light businesses in the area, Cafe Cleo was the only business that stood up to the gentrification of the area. The expropriation case was brought to the supreme court and it was ruled, in Cafe Cleo's favour, that a city can not displace one private interest (aka a strip club) in favour of another private interest (i.e. fancy pants quartier des spectacles businesses). After the expropriation was overruled, the city finally allocated all of the building permits they had been denying to the business (in an effort to render it to the point of demolition) and kindly suggested they upgrade the building while the rest of the neighbourhood was getting fancier. You'll be happy to know they've kept the gritty, occasionally sticky, glory of the place to this day. The club continues, on the first floor, to bring in the biggest diversity of dancers and some of the more reasonable covers for the city. On the top floor you'll find the wildest acts in the city- House of Laureen and Glam Glam being two of my favourite groups to perform. As others have mentioned, Cafe Cleo is one of the only performance spaces that allows full nudity- for drag, burlesque and vaudeville, that's a big deal. Finally, the upper venue is almost entirely run by trans and queer folks and it's been that way for a long time: I can't emphasize how important that is. Long live Cleo.

What I was very confused about was the tipping for everyone. You walk in and go through a metal detector, pay the $10 entrance fee to the woman, then she says tip her $5, then the Security/bouncer says "normally we like to get a $5 or $10 tip". Then you go to the bar get your drink, tip as normal. But when you go to get a dance, you pay $5 to the girl in the back.

I wouldn't recommend coming here simply because the employees are a representation of the strip joint and strong arming costumers is a reflection of management.

We had a great time at Kingdom this past Saturday, so here's an updated review for this place. Coat check: Mandatory but free (+tip), wasn't asked to check my purse. Cover charge: $7, so hand the bouncer a $10 and you're seated. Drinks: Pricey, welcome to a strip club! $40 for a bucket of 5 beers. Would suggest buying a bottle if you're a group. Shooters: $5 served by a super sweet and pretty shooter girl. Dances: while we didn't take advantage of any private dances, we did have a stage dance. Lay down on the elevated dance floor with 2x $5 bills placed on your body for pickup, and you are part of the show for that small price. I also watched karine make the lifetime of a young physically challenged gentleman. Her performance was the best. Dancers: There were several girls who weren't there to show off on the main stage, just give you a basic rub on the pole. I presume that those are the girls who prefer to make bank on the private dances. Then there are the amazing girls like Karine who clearly enjoys what she does, and it translates to an amazing show! While we were there we also benefited from a performance that was a woman specialized in using metal chains rather than the pole. Was a nice change and very artistically broke up the less than impressive dancers. The dancers were all pretty/cute, and they had an array to reflect differing preferences. There were easily a dozen dancers + bar/wait staff. Some of the girls weren't my taste, and some of them looked like baby deer learning to walk in their heels which was awkward, but hey, you take the pretty ones who are willing to do the job I supposed. Bartender: Caroline was straight up with me when I straight up asked her for the most reasonably priced beverages. She didn't treat me like I was being "cheap" by asking. Super friendly and approachable throughout. Overall, we had a phenomenal time and weren't at all surprised by any of the costs associated with it. Between the 3 of us we dropped $50 for a bucket of beers and $10 tip (OUR CHOICE). $50 for 2 rounds of shots with a $10 tip (OUR CHOICE) and a shot for the shooter girl. $20 worth of $5 bills for us sitting on the stage for personal interaction from the dancers. We closed the place and weren't rudely rushed out or anything. Improvements: THE DJ. OMG HE SUUUUUUCKED. I only learned my favorite performer's name by asking her directly because none of the girls were being announced (at least not audibly). There were a few good music choices by the girls but much of the music sucked. A drink menu being available would help people feel less "scammed" for not paying attention and asking the right questions... THAT'S IT. The rest was bang-on. To the whiny wife acting uptight because she was charged cover, you're an idiot. Why would you not be charged? Should the club be honored to have you here? Could you not be a lesbian or bi-curious? You're a customer, just like everyone else. Ignorance. To those saying it's a disgusting/gross/unclean place, you're clearly talking about another club. The place has great décor and lighting and was very clean on a Saturday night at 2am.

Lap dances are $15 a piece full contact, cover is $7 each, and beers are $9. The private dances are located upstairs and the entire place is poorly lit. They didn't hassle us for lap dances too much. Also, do not throw anything less than $10 on stage, or they will kick it back to you. Two of the hottest women I've ever seen worked here, and I guess I got lucky to see them both on the same shift.

There was a cover charge, $10 I believe. The staff was friendly by strip club standards. The drinks tasted fine, and weren't too overpriced. However, our waitress took a while to return to our table, but it was a busy Saturday night so this was to be expected. The dancers themselves were mostly attractive women with nice bodies and pretty faces. We were offered a private dance by a friendly dancer with legs for days and we accepted. This was a first time event for the both of us so we had to ask her a lot of questions about how the private dances work and she was accomodating and honest. She was also very polite, and not pushy like some of the other dancers. The lap dance itself was fun, it was sexy and not awkward at all. She even called me sexy, and told my boyfriend he was a lucky man. My boyfriend and I had a great time at downtown. A funny side note to this whole experience; as we were leaving the DJ announced a dancer to the stage who had the same stage name as my real name and my boyfriend and I had quite the laugh about that on the way out.
