Club Unity Montreal

We planned on hitting up club unity after the reviews we read on line. Seemed like a fun place to go! The entrance was a bit tricky to find. But when we did and walked up the stairs to the entrance they told us a private party was going on so a majority of the bar was sectioned off. There was no line up out front and we didn’t see many people going to or from it. The bar was pretty empty for a Saturday night at 1 am. We were disappointed. Also heard from some locals at a pub that it wasn’t the best but we thought we would try it out anyway. We should have listened.

The atmosphere of the club and the way it was built was very nice. There are three floors. On the first floor is the main dance floor with a DJ that plays a lot of techno music. There’s a lot of space to dance and move around. The second floor is a mezzanine or a balcony that you can view the first floor from. The third floor is a rooftop deck which is very pretty and nice to smoke on top. So overall, the things I liked about this club was how it was designed very nicely and aesthetically pleasing.
To list a couple things that put me off was first, they didn’t ID which allowed a lot of annoying underaged kids to come in and I was worried for their safety when I saw them dancing with adult men. Secondly, I disliked how when I went to get my cigarettes from my jacket from the coat check guy, I had to pay. But eh, clubs are stingy for cash so I’m not surprised. The next was that the music was very boring and repetitive. The biggest let down of the night was that for a gay club, there were way too many girls. The club was barely filled up, and with the people that were there, it was mainly girls. The girl to guy ratio was maybe 60 to 40. For a gay club, that’s pretty disappointing. I probably wouldn’t come back unless they had more guys.

Good music, good people, 3 floors and roof access! What could be better? Drinks are overpriced, but then again what club doesn’t have overpriced drinks? Have been here about 6 times now and I’ve had a lot of fun every time!

My husband and I had just got married over on the Thursday and traveled to beautiful Montréal for our Honeymoon for Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday of the long weekend.
Since this was my first time in the city (and province) we decided to hit up the first dance club we could find. We happened to have a Metro just down the street from our hotel and was delivered to the gay village within 5 minutes. Walking about 2 minutes out the metro stop in the village you’ll hit this insanely spacious venue next to Stock.
Unity is an exceptionally well designed nightclub; many reviewer’s have noted how large the space is, they have managed to ensure just about every area has a bar or drinks near it which is smart and nice since they were fairly cheap compared to Ontario prices.
The music was very fast paced mixing done really well by their special guest DJ General Yao — that guy hit every style of music and didn’t stop!
It was really good to hear some seriously fun deejaying even if it was for mostly top 40 style tunes.
The set behind the DJ was an intense lights show with lasers, strobe effects and several other lighting rigs — it also featured a large projection screen that would lower and raise to show various effects and words — pretty nice.
We danced and drank with a semi full venue at 11:45 — it filled up around 12:30. The bartenders were very nice, attractive and wearing next to nothing which was a nice surprise. We went out to the gorgeous rooftop patio with a large island style bar — we actually never ordered from the bar since they had a shooter boy who kept feeding us cheap shots.
We loved it so much we made a point of going back the next night (Saturday) and the promise that if we had as much fun as we did that night we would skip checking out the other bars.
Unfortunately the DJ they had the next night was not good at all (and I hate to say that) but it was just awful music selection, sloppy mixing — maybe he just was having an off night but we ended up leaving about 45 minutes into our stay — and that’s after we went out on to the rooftop patio again for a smoke — met another shooter boy, purchased some shots — and saw the shooter boy from the night before again who gave us a drink someone just bought for him and got us to buy 4 more shots!
The only reason I didn’t give this place 5 star is bc of the DJ — I hate to say it since I too am a DJ and would love nothing more to play in a venue like Unity, but that selection and mixing actually ruined an early start for us at Unity.
Overall, I would recommend going this club when you are visiting the city, if you come often or live in Montréal you may just want to check out their Facebook page to find out what they have going on — their website is up but I couldn’t find a lot of images or too much detail from their website so I would suggest Facebook.

There is one major dance floor playing techno and a staircase up to the rooftop deck, which looks awesome! However, it was raining so this place was completely empty. No cover, which is nice. Don’t bother coming before midnight, as this place doesn’t seem to fill up until around then!

Not really into it lol…
Went here once for my friend’s birthday and… was not too into it. Cool light show I guess but the music was ultra-​generic (they played like all big room remixes of top 10 songs which after an hour it’s just like ugh), and it just wasn’t much fun I guess. I’d rather go to something smaller with better music.

the drag queen was so nice and funny, the music was okay awkward to dance on, but quite energizing, the crowd is young and so into it haha, we had the chance to assist a poll dancing show and a live painting, truly entertaining, unity is a good representation of the urban lgbt community in montreal, a must club in montreal

It was absolutely dead before midnight, but we showed up at 11 pm to avoid the cover. There were super cheap drink specials all night — namely $ 5 mixed wells — but they are light pours. The infamous shots from the wandering drag queens were terrible: two little cups of something sugary and premixed, with barely any vodka in it. They don’t do it in your mouth anymore :(. It’s too bad the club was empty, and the few people that were there were super young and too obsessed with showing off some meh moves. The music was fantastic, and the dance areas were spacious with some stage areas. I could see this being really fun if you’re under 23 and a lightweight.

Unity took my gay-​club v-​card! What a beautiful experience I had here.
I pre-​drank, so I didn’t have to buy drinks there at all. All I know is cover was $ 5, candy was free (not in the creepy, child-​luring kind of way), the crowd was lovely and the music kept me jammin’ all night long!
Everyone I spoke to — whether bouncer, coat checker or fellow club-​goer — was so friendly and pleasant. That’s not a common experience at clubs, so I really appreciated that. There were three floors (with some scarily steep stairs leading up to the patio), which kept things fun and interesting. What made things more fun and interesting was the drag show around midnight. LOVE THIS PLACE.

Un club très réputé et très hype de montreal. De nombreux Dj très connus internationalement s’y retrouve pour vous offrir des pure moment de musique éléctro dans un cadre très sympa

The club was fun, consisted of many different rooms on a few different floors. The drinks, of course, were tiny. Luckily we were given a coupon for a free beer, in a bottle! I ordered a shot for my friend and myself and they came in something just slightly larger than a thimble… no joke! So drink before you go!
The music was fun, and dancing on the boxes was fun. I was told that the night I went was lesbian night, but it was still a blast and got packed by 1 am.
