Overall, reviews describe Club Soda as a lively and versatile live venue in Montreal with intimate sightlines, a strong crowd vibe, and friendly staff, suitable for concerts, comedy, burlesque and more. The atmosphere is often praised for energy and warmth, with sound that is clear and powerful, though acoustics and lighting can vary from show to show. The location is central and easy to reach, and many performances draw an engaged, respectful audience. Common drawbacks mentioned include drinks that are pricey, bathrooms that can feel cramped and in need of attention, and occasional layout or seating quirks on higher levels during crowded events. Still, most reviewers would return for the experience and would recommend catching a show at Club Soda.
Venue was packed to see Geordie Greep on April 1st. What an amazing performance, easily the best show I've been to in my life so far. Security seemed active & very polite which is always nice, water was cold & kept me alive. I noticed this venue seemed a bit warmer than most do, just make sure to drink plenty of water. The balcony area is fairly big but I had to stand the whole show due to getting there half an hour after doors open. It was a very tight 3 hr drive from Ottawa & I would do it as many times as needed to see Greep here again. As always the crowd energy in Montreal is so high, while still remaining very respectful to the music. Sound system was loud & clear, not as loud as some shows but plenty. I had no issues with the place would go again. :D
Awesome music venue with great atmosphere & sound. This place really understands how to put on a metal show. The staff are cool & the location is very convenient.
Great place for live music, 2nd floor has sitting space (limited capacity though) & lower floor for standing concert expectations, bar is available on both stages with fair prices, parking is not available for the club, still there are private parking lots available near by, municipal payment parking & public transportation easy access, stay tuned to their concert schedule & go for the one you would like! I went to The Doors tribute band & for The Beatles, both bands did outstanding performance.
I have been going there since early 1990s, & it is still opened, which goes to show you how it has been / & continues to be a music venue loved by many.

Le Club Soda. Un vrai club. J'ai vraiment aimé mon expérience de spectateur au Club Soda. À chaque fois c'est différent, mais en même temps pareil parce que c'est la même salle. Mais sinon c'est super, il y a l'entrée, les portes, le lobby, des employés, des places pour s'asseoir des fois, un bar ou 2 ou 3 ou plusieurs pour commander des boissons pour boire. On peut payer avec la carte de crédit, la carte de débit, bref on peut dépenser & voir des représentations musicales ou humoristiques ou d'autres sortes d'événements selon la programmation qui change régulièrement. Il y a du roulement ça c'est sûr. Y'a vraiment moyen de voir plusieurs choses à différents moments selon les dates où on y va. Je pense c'est pas mal ouvert tout le temps, durant le soir & les moments de spectacles. Sinon durant les jours fériés & les vacances de Noël c'est peut être fermé je sais pas il faudrait demander à quelqu'un qui travaille là, mais bref c'est vraiment cool le Club Soda. Je conseille beaucoup aux gens d'aller y faire un tour & de pas passer à côté la chance d'y aller parce que c'est ben le fun en tout cas. Mais si vous devez passer à côté parce que vous allez ailleurs dans le coin c'est correct aussi. Sauf c'est ça la, allez y c'est une bonne idée. Bon, salut la gang. À prochaine fois
i went to the venue a few days ago for a music show & i have no complaints for that, i had a lot of fun. what i want to bring attention to is the bar. before the show, i bought two shots for me & my friend. $5 each. drinks are always expensive in bars & clubs so i was not surprised, what bothered me is the lady's attitude. i did not give any tip because all she did was pour liquid in a small glass & she was not pleasant to speak to the moment i gave my order. tipping is not obligatory, regardless she got angry for it. i'm glad i didn't because she definitely did not deserve it then. here's MY TIP to that old hag, if you're so obsessed with getting a tip then maybe switch to a better paying job. it's not my fault you're not getting paid enough that you count of tips to have money. also next time maybe have a smile on your face.
Really liked the show, Projekt Revolution (3 bands). High energy songs & great musicians too! Hadn't been there in years, real fun evening! Nice, clean venue & drinks reasonably priced ($6 shooters). Would certainly go again 😊
Très belle salle de taille moyenne, d'une capacité de 500 a 800 pers. environ, bien conçue pour une circulation fluide, avec tables & chaises au 2 iem étage sur les cotés, avec une excellente vue de tous les angles, bonne sonorité, ainsi que des éclairages haut de gamme, avec un personnel courtois & prix des boissons raisonable (déplacement en transport en commun, taxi, etc., est suggérer). Sur une note personelle, un excellent spectacle bien resenti par des musiciens passionées en hommage aux "Co-locs" ce 14 Janvier, "Passe moé la Puck" ~ bien appréciée. 🎶
