Montreal After Hours

Montreal After Hours

Montreal after hours clubs offer a great selection for places to dance and party all night long. The Montreal clubscene rocks so it figures that the late-night party scene is equally pumping!

Montreal Afterhours Club List

Actually, most are gone. Perhaps it’s a sign that people are tiring of the scene, it’s getting dangerous, or who knows what else.

Circus – Circus Afterhours is another club that plays house music and keeps people partying into the late night. This club is a bit east of Downtown Montreal and apparently has a more French crowd.

Red Lite is an after hours club in Laval (the island / city north of Montreal). Their website was finally updated.

Stereo nightclub is an after hours club that opened after Sona. It boasts a much more impressive speaker / sound system and became the new place to conquer for night owl partiers.

Popular Clubs That Are Now Closed

Gravity afterhours is yet another, newer all-night groove club in Montreal.

Eclipse day club is now closed. The club reminded me of Ibiza’s Club Space. It was open all day Saturday, a bit east of Downtown Montreal.

Playground was the first Montreal after hours club. It was located in the Saint Catherine and Amherst street area.

Aria nightclub in Montreal was housed in what was once a movie theatre. It had multiple rooms and has attracted some hot talents.

Sona nightclub (which closed in 2004) was the first large scale after hours club in Montreal. The club featured the hottest names in DJ talents and was always packed. Even though it was right in downtown Montreal, you had to know where to look to find it since the entrance was behind a building which lead to a large basement. The mystery added to the after hours club’s atmosphere. The bathrooms were sex and drug (ecstasy & speed) havens. The crowds would pour into Sona at 3am when the other night clubs would close. Quebec law forbids bars and clubs from selling alcohol after 3am so Sona would sell water, energy drinks (like Guru and Red Bull) and smart drinks (essentially tang with caffeine). 514 Productions, Montreal’s leading rave event promoter, was involved with the club for a while. Sona was a lot of fun but there are other Montreal afterhours clubs to keep you dancing, grooving, partying, and chilling, all night long.

Note: Clubs open and close and change owners every second day. Their websites often go offline, are untouched with dated info, and change web addresses like crazy. If you see something here that is amiss, add a comment below to bring us up to date or contact us.
