Stereo

the staff are needlessly rude and the bouncers are total meatheads, but the sound system is good.

5 Bouncers beat my boyfriend and almost CHOKED HIM TO DEATH! They have no right to use force like that! This establishment must cease operations! DO NOT GO THERE!

Zu erst mal, da gibts kein alkohol!!! Afterhour ohne alkohol? Aber ist anscheinend so in kanada. Kann nicht verstehen warum dies noch niemand erwähnt hat! Teurer eintritt kostet 35 cad… aber abgesehen von dem, super sound. Some peoples fly… und da ich keine drogen konsumiere nicht mein ort.

Best club I’ve been to in North America. Only places that rival it or surpass it in terms of music and vibe are in Europe, particularly Berlin. (I’m looking at you, Berghain — the pansexual goddess of techno clubs.)
First off, the sound system. I was able to sit directly in front of the main floor speakers and still have a near-​normal conversation with my friend. It’s hard to describe, but the sound manages to be loud, body-​shaking and intense without blowing out your ears or forcing you to shout.
Next, the music. I hadn’t heard of any of the DJ’s, but the sounds they were making were sick. The first set even managed to blend Turkish music with deep house and it blew my mind. The DJs all knew how to play the crowd, bringing the energy level down then revving it up for unbelievable climaxes.
Finally, the people — I really enjoyed the vibe the Saturday night I went. Everyone seemed friendly and really into the MUSIC, not strutting around and making a scene. Oh, and for those of you who think this is a place just for doing all sorts of drugs and rolling till 7am, well you’re right haha. HOWEVER I wasn’t high or drunk and still had a blast and stumbled out of there around 630am, happy and buzzing from the music. Next time I’m in Montréal I know where I’ll be on Saturday night

I have been a long time patron of Stereo through its ups and downs and up until now had only glowing things to say.
That being said, last night I had a very negative experience with the door staff which discolored my view of Stereo greatly and I wanted to share it in case any other possible patrons encounter the same problem.
In short, the door staff were astoundingly flippant, glib and discourteous. I know that Stereo is not the Ritz — and I do not expect white glove service — but I certainly expect to be treated politely and efficiently.
In particular, the gentleman handling the guest list was demonstrably unfamiliar with the most basic processes and habits of customer service and business. Without going into detail, his Kafkaesque performance culminated with him insulting me and my friend who was visiting from abroad.
I do not normally take the time to write reviews, and certainly not of nightclubs, but the experience at Stereo last night ruined our evening and has dissuaded me from ever frequenting this establishment again. Inasmuch, I wanted to put this extreme lapse on record and forewarn others in case they should encounter the same unpleasantness from the staff.
Montréal is a charming city with charming nightlife and, nonwithstanding Stereo’s storied reputation, there are plenty of other places which will take your money and show you a good time without the grossly misplaced attitude I had to deal with.

Du très très lourd. Le sound system rappelle pas mal celui du Berghain avec ses quatre colonnes «en carré».
Puisque c’est un after hour, vous né pouvez pas acheter d’alcool sur place mais uniquement des bouteilles d’eau Vitamin Water: si cela a quoi étonner (surtout si vous êtes européens), vous comprendrez vite pourquoi.

La programmation fait tout aussi plaisir de que sound system (un des plus puissant d’Amérique du Nord).
Amateurs de musique électronique, tu peux pas manquer ça !!!

wow… what can I say other than wow?
This is THE nightclub in Montréal– like every city has the flagship big club, big name dj’s, best sound system etc. This is it.
I love this space, so friendly and has amazing chillout lounge space without compromising dance space.
I could go on– but you should probably just come here and decide if this is for you.
I only ever go here when the talent is right. If you come here just as another club night you might feel disappointed that you spent a lot of money on just another club.

Stereo is THE Flagship nightclub with analog sound system second to none (aside from PACHA) this place is poured with much technology its just mind blowing for any DJ’s dream to spin here.
For example the floors are equipped with springs to make u stomp and jump longer then usual before your feet start to kill. the sound system its self is so beautifully hand crafted installed with so much care it makes you ears orgasm with so much clarity that when you leave the club your eardrums are not exhausted from loud music. like no other club I have can actually have a conversation with somebody beside me without yelling. For the light you could probably just youtube it and see for yourself, its all about the globe.
This is a club is only for music lovers. the DJ’s who come to push this overwhelming sound system mainly play tech house to deep tribal house. it is something you must experience at least once.

Si vous aimez danser jusqu’au matin sur de l’excellente musique House, c’est le meilleur endroit à Montréal. Le système de son est incomparable!

Un des derniers Afterhours de Montréal, le stereo offre une ambiance, un son et une crowd qu’aucun des autres after de Montréal n’est capable d’égaler. N’offrant qu’une seule salle et un son extraordinaire, le stéréo attire des djs de renom pour des soirées épiques. Tout les petit détails, des machines distributrices high tech aux planchers en bois franc rendent l’endroit un must de la scèné techno de Montréal.

I’d have to say after hearing about this place many times over the years and never having gone there I was sadly let down.
A friend was over and he wanted to go dancing, only place open at 4 am, stereo!
Initially they wanted 30.00 cover fee, being from Toronto, when I balked at the price they reduced it to 20 per.
Here is where it gets
