Le Rouge Bar

Staff is horrible. They steal your coat and make your pay 4$ for it. When talking with the manager, he wanted to hear nothing and we had to pay. Worse night ever in Montreal, music was horrible and people in the club were not frequentable. It was also really expensive. Do not recommend at all. There are many better clubs nearby, even cafe campus is better

Security refused to believe I was the same person on my ID. I've had no problem with that VALID piece of ID they just all acted like I looked nothing like my own image. Meanwhile some guys with their own vodka bottle from home were let in. Not to mention securty just watching as women are groped and manhandled by strangers. L staff.

Le Rouge Bar is the perfect spot for an unforgettable evening filled with great music, great people, and an all-around vibrant atmosphere. It’s the kind of place you can count on for a good night. From the moment you walk in, the energy is contagious. The DJ keeps the vibe alive all night, and the staff truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The bartenders are quick, professional, and genuinely friendly. One standout is Nadine, she always serves with a smile, keeps the drinks flowing effortlessly, and brings such a positive vibe behind the bar that you can’t help but come back for more. Le Rouge Bar is a place that feels like your go-to night-out destination. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again.

We gave this place another try and there’s been a huge improvement. The doorman was very friendly and sweet. Way way more fun and there’s more girls then guys. And the place doesn’t smell, because they blast the Air Condition ON. They play good music and the drinks are average price. The ATM fee is 3 dollars. Compare to all the other night club were it’s more guys then girl and feel like a shark type. This place is my top 3 favorite nightclub in Montreal.

My friends and I weren’t even planning on doing bottle service, but so glad we did, and even more glad we got Melissa. From the second we sat down, she made us feel completely taken care of, without it ever feeling forced or over-the-top! We loved her service, and we can definitely see ourselves coming back!

bartender auto tipped herself 25%. Part of it is my fault for not saying anything when she handed me the machine with just the credit card tap button but no price was shown and i think it would be more respectful to let customers choose their own tip.

I’m a girl and I asked for a cup of water, the bar girl refused to give me some unless I bought a water bottle for 5$. Shows how much you care for your clientèle smh… This is disgusting ive never seen a club this cheap.

Rouge was vibes! Music was lit, crowd was fun, and Nadine behind the bar is a whole legend. Super chill, made the best drinks, and just added to the good energy all night. 100% coming back this place is the move!

Im 30 so clubbing isn't as exciting anymore. I mainly go every few months to get hammered and get a 4 hour break from reality and responsibilities LOL ( thanks for the help Jack Daniels). Anyways, this is the only place I go to. Super Casual and you definitely need to get a spot at Marco's bar ( the big round bar ). I always enjoy the night. And please dont drink and drive! Be cool.

In Alessia Cara's words "I'll be ova here" I didn't want to come, but did for my friends The crowds of youngins had me frettin' in fear But at first, I gotta admit, it wasn't the end, Of the world. You see, i was trippin' 'cuz i thought 'My gawd, this is guna suck so much' But in consideration of what I bought I gotta say it was not as bad as such Though to be honest my friends were reeling Into a mid-life-crisis way too early Had me thinking, had me feeling Things I thought I'd never feel, surely But if it had to come to this i'm glad That my friends chose this place 'Cuz even though it got pretty bad I'd say, before that, this was a kool space And I guess for the price it was pretty damn decent Though their bar talents lack beyond words No smirnoff ice, no caesers, no mixology recent And the dj blows, not worth "u should've heard" My friends had fun and danced to the 80s The MC was chill, but the DJ just sloppy With some spice girls and tunes from the 70s seemed lazy And after 11 the songs went hip-hop-y So as the youngins poured in, in numbers a many I took my cue to go home and headed To grab my coat and pay my last penny In the taxi I realized "Not as bad as I dreaded". ------------- Installment 3 of poetry reviews. All in all: if you're over 30 and have a slight pang for a night out dancing to remind you of your 20s, go ahead and check this place out on a Saturday between 7pm to 11pm. Then get the hell outta there 'cuz it be crazy.

Still my favorite bar on the main drag of Saint-Laurent in Montreal. fantastic bartenders, great dancing, lots of free drinks and direct-from-the-bottle pouring (but for some reason, while it's kinda slutty at Senior Frogs, in french, it just comes off as classy, seriously) great staff and promoters too, they'll hook you up if you are having a good time. Honestly, I've been coming here since it opened and never come to Montreal without one night at Rouge. ps: careful on the stairs when exiting, I've seen some friends go down (but to be fair, one was trying to slide down the banister)

First stop on our Saturday night Montreal club romp, we rolled up to Rouge, the only spot on this jammin' street that didn't have a line streaming down the block. Should have been the first sign, but it was early so we gave it a go. No cover charge was a plus and as we made our way up to the second floor to check out coats, our first glances were of a filled club of people, seemingly having a good time, kinds of getting into the groove. Could it be we struck gold on our first try? Coats checked quickly (only $1.50), we headed to the bar. Though our drinks came in the tiniest of glasses (think rocks glasses instead of collins glasses), they were only $13 for two. We would soon come to realize that this would be the highlight of the evening. First major problem: this club doesn't take credit cards! What kind of club doesn't take plastic? Maybe it was because we were American? Maybe the machines were down? (though I didn't notice any machine to begin with) In any event, when I attempted to hand my Mastercard over to the bartender, she waved her finger in my face (no!) and walked away. After settling the tab and taking a gander around the second floor, we knew right away this wasn't going to be the place for us. The club was kind of dingy, the crowd was less-than-appealing and the music was loud and terrible. Not ready to give up, we tried our luck on the first floor. As we walked out onto the dancefloor, the DJ starting spinning "Whoomp There It Is' and the crowd went CRAZY like he just dropped that new Kayne track. Yep, it was time to go. On the way up to retrieve our coats, there was a wretched stench wafting out of the ladies room. I mean gut-churning, nose-pinching stink. Classy, Rouge, Classy. After doing a bit of research, I quickly learned that Rouge is a 25+ club geared towards the 'older' crowd who apparently used to frequent this other club Angel back in their more formidable years. Yikes. I'd like to chalk this one up to my big tourist mistake of the trip. Le sigh.

A friend and I recently found ourselves wandering around aimlessly in the area where this club is looking for a place to drink. This place had a line out the door on two different streets so it seemed like the place to be. Then as we were debating whether or not we should wait in line, a nice man came up to us and said he would bring us in right away and skip the line. Not wanting to be rude and thinking we had just totally lucked out, we went in.... This place is one of those gigantic clubs I would have enjoyed during my younger years. It might have been spring break time, but the vast majority of people there looked to be McGill undergrads. There are two floors. The music is way too loud to enjoy any conversation and both floors were completely packed, making it hard to really dance even for two people. You will get your fair share of sloppy drunks at a place like this, but overall everyone was perfectly pleasant. The music was really good at least. This is probably a Montreal thing, but buyer beware that there is a $40 minimum for any credit card drink purchases. We paid no cover charge for entry. I'm giving this place three stars because for what it is, it's a good place to go. If you want to go out to a huge, semi open air club and just rave, then this place is for you. I wouldn't go if you're over 25 though.

Place is okay, nothing memorable. - Top 40s music - Drinks were not expensive - Crowd were mostly 20 year olds - young 30 year olds - Gets packed - Door policy seemed pretty strict, I was able to get in with no dramas since we had girls in the group - Lot of drunk losers lurking around - The top floor is pretty cool with the lightning

It was better than I expected, the cover charge was 10$ with an open bar all night for girls. The music was mainly top 40 hip hop and latin music. The only downside was that I felt like a grand ma the whole night lol, most people were 18/19 but apparently the crowd's demographics vary a lot from one week to another. I would definitely go back though!

If I could give zero stars to rouge I would. They have two separate entrances, one for regular people and the other for "special vip", ( someone should remind the club owners that the caste system has been abolished for sometime ). To my disappointment, it is just another generic Saint Laurent club that plays the same music and has nothing really genuine that distinguishes from any other club on Saint Laurent besides its cheesy entrance and decor. I would only recommend this place to someone that I didn't like.

I've been going to Montreal at least once a year for the last 10 years and have to say this has to be one of the better clubs on St. Laurent St. I don't know how this place gets bad reviews. If you like a good time, dancing, and good stiff drinks this is the place to be. I went on a Friday night at 11pm and was let in with no cover with two female friends of mine who love to dance. The place was comfortably packed with a chill 21+crowd who all seemed to be having a good time dancing and chilling out. I can't deal with the 18+ clubs anymore. I also like that the place wasn't a vicious "sausage factory" with 20+ dudes crammed into a table service area like most of the other clubs I went to. It was the perfect ratio of males to females. It's well kept club with an great design and layout too. Who ever was the DJ, he was on fire with the music. It was a blend of top 40, hip hop, techno, 90s and 80s (such as Michael Jackson) that kept the crowd moving and cheering with approval at every perfectly timed music transition. I judge a club by how energized the crowd is, and this place makes gets asses shaking. This is especially important when factoring in the amount of smoking hot women present. The upstairs room was equally as impressive with a bigger dance area that played songs like "Poison" by Bell Biv Devoe that got the crowd jumping. The drinks at this bar weren't overpriced and had great deals like getting 10 shots for $35 of premium liquor. Not a bad deal if you ask me. I also like that they've avoided the the lame "controlled pour" machines that make your drinks taste like they barely have any alcohol in them. My friends and I were glad to find this club after going to less impressive establishment. We stayed till 3am and had a hell of a time. Definitely how a club should look and feel like.

Back in my bar-going days, Rouge was one of my favorites in the city. I don't know why but it felt like there were many less creepy people there than elsewhere. The music was always great, energy was high, and prices were decent. Although, expect to wait forever and a day outside on Saturday nights.... There are two floors with different types of music, and I've always found that the top floor was always less insane and had a generally better overall vibe. I haven't been back in a few years, so I can't speak for it now, but based on the reviews, it seems to have held on to its reputation :)

I'm going to have to jump on the "i don't get the other reviews" bandwagon. Was there this past Friday for a bachelorette party and we all had a blast. It was busy but there was still enough room to cut a sweet sweet rug. Annnnd cut we did! Not sure if the divided reviews are based on age differences but I see nothing wrong with gettin' my groove on to Whoomp!? That may be because I am part of the shameful 25 and above crowd. Drinks were insanely cheap compared to the t.dot and they accepted our credit cards with glee. All around a great night, almost reminiscent of the good ole days...University. It was great to go out for a good time without any snobbery or douchebaggery. Would absolutely return!

There was not enough space, so everybody who's passing through got to touch you somehow. Also it was very crowdy for that little space. Maybe they need to have an entrance tax (10-15$) and decrease the crowd. One positive thing is: the service was good. Price of their drinks is average: we had two large bottles Belvedere which came up to around 600$. I don't know why everybody is hyped about this place. Their music totally su#%ed (billboard&commercial songs). Couldn't dance on'em.

Had a blastttttttt here! A good walk from the metro (uphill), so wear comfy shoes. Partied here for the first time last night (Sat) and had a blast. It's tough to get in if you're not getting table service or on the guest list (even guest list ends at 11:30), so I say get there by 11. Two floors, bottom floor heavily hip hop and top 40 top floor heavily house. The bottom floor especially gets reallllllly crowded, so if your with a large group good luck finding a place to dance. There's no dance floor on the bottom floor just tons of people standing around the bar shaking their tail feathers. We ordered 2 shots of Patron and it came to $30 (steep!). The crowd is 21+ although we never showed ID. If you're in the mood to dance all night to some good music and don't mind the crowd this is the place to be!

Somehow I edned up at Rouge. Again. Was it any better than the last time I was there? No. If you have clausterphobia - STAY AWAY!!! The place was packed beyond belief. More packed than I remember! Fire hazard, I would say. Dancing was extremely difficult - it was more like shuffling, trying not to get stepped on, and being constantly pushed and shoved by passers by. There were these wafts of bathroom and vomit smell periodically on the dance floor. Really disgusting. Just a couple industrial fans on the ceiling for air cicrulation. It was just unpleasant. By the way, coat check is now $2.50. Hope not to return again.

Decent spot to visit. I'd say okay-ish vibes. The bartenders are attentive and they seemed to dress like eccentric individuals, which makes the experience all the more memorable. Definitely stop by if all other places have queues that extend to the outer realm of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Good music.. there r two floors.. 1st floor is the older crowd where I stayed.. and 2nd floor is the young crowd where all the pushing and over drunkenness occurs.. we were let in with no charge.. drinks are 8$ too bad there aren't specials.. great service.. overall fun experience!

I have never actually been inside Rouge, the few times I tried to get in the bouncers tell me I need to "bring some girls". even the one time I got there real early.

k, so i totally disagree with the other two reviews. rouge was totally fun for me & my friends (coming from new york). huge dancefloors, cheap drinks, ($16CAD for five shots), no cover, lots of really nice people, and great cheesy hiphop. dj even dropped le tigre and bunny's "we like the cars." definitely not a place for music snobs, but if you enjoy just fun music, fun crowds, lots of pretty people to look at (or even hook up with), this is the joint in montréal.

Went to the rouge last night (Friday the 9 dec), we had reserved a table to celebrate a fellow workers birthday, there were 9 of us in total. We had a blast!! Music was great (second floor as we never went to the third), we ordered bottles of vodka for our group which is the way to go. The staff was nice,friendly and attentive which is always a plus and we danced the whole night, (even the non dancers got caught up in the fun). The place is big and was packed and everyone seemed to have fun, the entire room was swaying and cheering and taking photos. I recommend this place for groups looking to celebrate an event anytime. Thanks to the rouge team for making our night... we may be hurting in the morning ....but that's just part of it. The only thing you might consider doing differently is offering some advil to your guests as they leave, cause you make em party hard.

This is a great place to drink and dance with a fun group of friends. It's not easy to get in and it's best if you know someone or can get on the list for faster access. I only been here once and we had a blast for my friend's bday nite. I guess if you really want to get in, go super early bc that is the only way you can probably can get in and you should dress to impress. It seems like every weekend could be a different crowd. It is quite packed inside and out. I guess it's pretty happening kinda place lol. I will come back for another occassion!

Great music, nice atmosphere and cheap drinks! That's all you really need to have fun!

Clearly one of the greatest club in Montreal. Prices are reasonable, the barmaid are smoking hot, music is really good. I went there a few times and enjoyed being there every single time, even when I was not drunk.

LAME! Don't recommend, and they charge you for every single thing. Open bar more like tip everything. Forced coat check.

Rogue was spectacular from the get go. We went to Montreal this past labour day weekend for my cousins bachelor party. I'll start from the top.. I didn't know which club to choose to end our last night in MTL, to me it was a big decision it would make or break the weekend. Rouge management was the quickest to respond to my email inquiry earlier in the week, they gave me a price list and notified me bottle service would include side drinks (OJ, cranberry etc), and include cover (all other clubs I emailed didn't indicate if side drinks were included and you have to pay for cover even with bottle service). The early response and reasonable prices had me convinced this was the place to go. I also read somewhere that it has a great guy to girl ratio which is key for any bachelor party. We get there around 11pm on Saturday night, no problems at the door.. quickly taken up to the main floor where we have a corner booth waiting for us. Now gentlemen, the take away from Rogue is its a club/lounge with many classy, cool girls. Don't be a creep about approaching them, be respectable and upfront.. you will not have an issue meeting, chatting and enjoying a good evening with good company. The club was great from 11pm-1am, after 1am it got a bit too over-crowded and understandably so many people became sloppy as what happens as most venues. That being said, the staff and waitresses were still great and carried a smile on their faces. Definitely the best club in Montreal, probably better than any club in Boston (inside joke). If you're a group of guys I highly recommend bottle service and making 1 of those bottles Moet to hand out to the great girls around you. The next bachelor I organize or party I am apart of in Montreal will 100% be a Rouge. - Reviewer from T.O

The best bar we went to in Montréal! The music was hip/recent european techno/edm. There was no cover to get in which was a plus. Drinks are reasonably priced for the area. There are two floors and we danced our a$$es off. It was awesome! Great vibes.

Rude bouncers. Didn't let us in because we weren't dressed more provocatively. Looked us up and down and said we weren't going in. Waited in first line, idiot bouncer said go to next line. Second bouncer said not getting in. They were only letting in girls who had their boobs/butts out and in high heels, and being very selective with the guys they were letting in. Sorry I want to wear Keds and be comfortable when I'm dancing.

So disappointed in our experience at this place, recommended by Oren at connected Montreal. We paid $300+ per bottle to get our table at this club (which was small and didn't fit all of us), but when one of my guys got their hands on the club's menu, the bottles were $170!!! sure, add taxes and tip to this amount, and we should of paid about $220...an extra $80 paid/SCAMMED by the club?! Do they have 2 sets of prices- 1 for tourists and 1 for locals? Or was it just Oren that royally lied about everything in our package and scammed us?

Terrible. The bouncers would not allow one of my friends to enter because they didn't like his shoes (they were honestly just regular shoes). It was a very hot evening and the men were not allowed to enter if they were wearing shorts. We were a group of about 20 with slightly more woman than men. I am so embarrassed that there are still places like this in this day and age.

The music is ok, and getting in is a pain. Somehow the place is always packed after midnight and there is hardly any room to dance or move.

Not sure if it is still so, but this club doesn't take credit cards! Great bartenders, great dancing, lots of free drinks and direct-from-the-bottle pouring straight for the throat.

Went to Le Rouge tonight for my bachelorette with 8 ladies . Was a great vibe, great music with variety from new and old . Our age range was between 25-31 did not feel out of place what so ever . We showed up after midnight no cover and got right in . Which is fantastic considering most clubs charge $10 -$20 to get into in Montreal . Place was packed but is expected on a Saturday night. Only thing that sucked was the ladies washroom is very small . Bar is a little slow but considering the volume is expected. Had a fantastic time and will be back and tell all my friends a must go to for a great night on the town in Montreal . Cheers and thanks for the good time and memories made .

Recently went to this club in Montreal with a group of friends and had we had a blast! 2 bottle service and originally had reserved a table and I didn't like the section where we were suppose to sit, but the staff was friendly enough to move my group to sit right in the center of the club! It was great! Guys the canadien ladies are beautiful and they definitely know how to party! My original interary was to go to various clubs but this one was so great that we stayed all night and then went back again the next day! Highly recommend it!

Pros: Cheap bottle service. Lots of dance floor space. Great beats. Bachelor party friendly. And GSP partying beside you. Cons: we got a tiny table, not a booth. Make sure to tell Fabio to get a booth. GSPs cronies are douches. To be expected. - Party Marty

I've been coming to Montreal for 10 years and this is always on my list to visit but I will never go back again. I've never been treated so poorly and the staff was extremely rude. Do yourself a favor and go skip this place.....it's not worth it and there are plenty of other places to go.

Went here on a trip to Montreal, music was awesome and the atmosphere was definitely for a crowd under 30. One of my friends got pick pocketed and the club staff was very polite and helpful in helping to locate her things. Despite that fact we had a super fun night and would definitely come back.

Great place! 2 floors with different DJs, no cover charge. Drinks were very weak though

Bouncers are a-holes. No idea how to enter the place. Waited in line in front of the bouncer for over 15 mins and idiot bouncer said that we needed to wait in a different line. Next bouncer said "I don't know what your plans are for tonight but you're not getting in tonight" after waiting 20 mins in line. Would not waste a minute in this pretentious crap hole.

Best place to go two floor to welcome you! Fir house and hihop alot of place for dance beautiful and nice staff to welcome you
