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 venue, never had a bad time here. Well layed out, you can see the stage from almost anywhere. Decent priced drinks for a concert venue. 10/10 will be a degenerate here again
Ma salle de prédilection pour moi c est le meilleur endroit pour tout , grandeur & sonorité j en ai vu des shows là de 1994 à 2019 surtout du rock alternatif, garage ,métal...
Je suis allez voir 2e chance. C'était plusieurs artistes se réunissant. C'était bien. Les groupes étaient super. Mais le son était.. correct pas plus ni moins !

La qualité du son est très variable. J'y suis allée le 26 février voir Robert Robert & le son était vraiment médiocre. On avait de la misère à reconnaître les tounes.
I went to the Pink Floyd tribute concert. Is it normal that the security guards hit me? I'm pregnant.
They left my face & hands bruised. That's not normal.
J`ai acheter des billets pour pink floyd le 10 Janvier 20:00 hrs. !
Mais ils ouvrent les portes a 20 :00 hrs. avec une file d'attente de +/- 50 minutes ! Donc on entre pas avant
+/- 21:00 hrs. ! E t le show est a 22:00 hrs. ! plus JAMAIS Le club soda !
Club Soda is a solid spot for live shows & events, with good energy & a central location that makes it easy to get to. The atmosphere during performances is fun, & the crowd vibe is generally great.
That said, there are definitely some downsides. The drinks are way too expensive, especially for what you're getting, which takes a bit of the enjoyment out of the night. On top of that, the bathrooms really need attention-they're cramped, not particularly clean, & feel pretty neglected considering how busy the venue gets.
Overall, it's a decent place to catch a show & have a good time, but the pricing & facilities keep it from being truly great. Worth going for the performance itself-just maybe don't plan on too many drinks.
