Easily one of the best clubs in the city. The staff is always so welcoming & the music never fails to impress. Maya at coat check is always so kind & plays a big role in the welcoming atmosphere of the club.
Can't wait to return!
Whilst the music was good & the club has a lot of potential, the bouncers are some of the rudest & most aggressive I have ever come across. We were left outside with very few people in the line for a good 45 minutes despite having both guest list & ticketed entry as they refused to let any one in. Upon entry, we find the coat check down a completely packed narrow corridor, down which is also the female bathroom, adding to the immense crowds of people in this area. After waiting at the back of the line for 30 minutes & being heavily crushed in this dangerous layout, we decided to tie our coats around our waists & try & have a good time. About an hour later, I was grabbed aside by a bouncer & told me & my friend personally (despite many people having their coats on inside the club) would have to either pay for coatcheck or leave very aggressively. I explained we had to wait for our friend to come out the bathroom before we decided what to do as she was alone & we were denied this privilege as he continued to be very aggressive towards us. I was very disappointed in this club as it has a lot of potential & the DJ was great. The very dangerous crowds for coatcheck & aggressive & rude bouncers however are enough for me to never want to return.

Had a great time here for halloween. The door manager Phil took great care of our group & the bartender Sarah was super sweet & was there for our every need. Music & ambience was really good. Excellent team overall. My favorite club in Mtl!!
En essayant de re-rentrer dans le club après avoir acheté un billet, mon coatcheck, plusieurs boisson... l'agent de sécurité de'archer sécurité' , d'origine africaine ou haetiemne, d'environ 5'9 a refusé l'entrée de moi & 5 autre personne pour la simple raison que j'avais ouvert la barrière quand il était occupé à laisser du monde rentrer & que j'attendais depuis plus longtemps que ma tâche allait prendre. Il a non seulement fait perdre de l'argent au club mais aussi m'en a fait parler publiquement parce que c'était un simple malentendu très facilement réglable mais il a décidé de non seulement m'ignorer mais quand je demander d'avoir un remboursement pour mon billet d'entrer & mon coat Check (utiliser pendant 5min) il m'a menacé de battre moi & mes amis. On a décider de partir pour éviter des problèmes mais ça la démontrer une grosse incompétence & un gros manque de respect envers des clients.
This really is one of the most fun & dynamic night club experiences in Old Port Montreal. The staff from the front door to the bar tenders to the bottle girls are all very professional but also fun & engaging. The prices for the bottles are very fair & they have a wide variety of liquor to order. The music & lights are amazing but some parts of the club can be a little too loud sometimes. I think this is one of the best night club experiences I have had. Been to 212 four times now & every time it is a MOVIE! Thanks to everyone! -- the Ottawa Mandems!
Hands down the best club in Montreal. From the start, they respond to you quickly & are very respectful. Service is just incredible, from calling to making sure we got in the club to changing our shot glasses after every shot. & then music & atmosphere was also one of the best. Mainly played rap songs, & the lights made it extremely fun. Highly recommended.
I can't emphasize enough how impressive the people skills & services at this club are. The staff's genuine friendliness & prompt attention to customer needs stood out. From entering to ordering drinks, every interaction was pleasant. The positive energy extended to the patrons, creating a welcoming environment. This club undoubtedly excels in providing a memorable & enjoyable experience
Service & food was absolutely horrible. First off the service was super slow & our waitress was lost. My friend was waiting for his appetizer for 30 minutes while we had already received ours only to be told oh sorry forgot to tell you we have no more of what you wanted & you have to order something else. Also other friends in my group got there food raw & not cooked properly some ordered other plates & the food came raw a second time. Many people just decided not to eat. After all this I went to see the manager to express my disappointment & that many people wanted to leave & not stay for the club. His response was if you want to stay you have to pay 2k for that table. No offer of compensation no remorse for what had happened. We immediately paid & left. I will never ever set foot in that place ever again.
