2. Complexe Sky

One of the biggest gay clubs in Canada, Complexe Sky boasts three floors of entertainment topped by a popular summertime rooftop terrasse complete with outdoor pool and jacuzzi.

Young male dancers perform every afternoon, while the evenings are dedicated to the more buff dancers and they even offer dances away from the main room. Happy hours here are perfect to spend with friends old and new, enjoying skilfully executed cocktails with diverse staff and clientele. Feast your eyes on the Gothic Revival architecture of Notre-Dame Basilica, a masterpiece that rivals its Parisian namesake.

A bit farther out, areas like Mile-End, Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, and Saint-Henri are equally great—and no matter where you land, you can expect a never-ending stream of attractive new friends to be made.

But Montreal's allure extends beyond its amazing gay district. Both bars have clear views of the stage and friendly staff are at hand to make your night enjoyable.

They're a slightly cruisy crowd, enjoying adult themed videos that play on TVs throughout the venue and throughout the day. You'll find generosity and comfort here in a comfortable bar area surrounded by your crowd.
