Named for beloved Montreal drag icon Mado Lamotte, Cabaret Mado has been packing them in since it opened in 2002.

Both bars have clear views of the stage and friendly staff are at hand to make your night enjoyable. For drinks and a mixed crowd, Bar Renard is a solid pick, especially around Pride. The summer terrace is a beautiful place to meet away from the noise of the bar, and the venue is cosy throughout.

Up on the second floor you can find Montreal's oldest cabaret stage, hosting performances throughout the week and other special events. Every night here is different and guaranteed to be unforgettable.
