It takes a long time to get a song since there's a lot of people which isn't anyone's fault. The crowd is full of lively & nice people. Unfortunately two of the staff members made it seem like they didn't want to be there. Other than that it was a nice night & I'd love to go again

GREAT FRIENDLY ENERGY! We popped in for a drink & a couple of songs while visiting Montreal. Friendly attentive staff & the karaoke host got us into rotation right away. It's a super friendly crowd (mixed demographic) that are supportive of all singers. I would definitely return when in town again.

We had a very nice time. We would go back. It gets very crowded so decently reserve a table in advance

Love this place. Always a good time, super friendly & welcoming. They have pretty much every song ever made & the crowd is usually enthusiastic or just a good vibe hanging around. J'adore le Date! Meilleur karaoke en ville

I've been coming to Le Date for about a year & always loved the atmosphere, respectful crowd, & great performances. It's been my favorite karaoke spot until my last visit, which left me really disappointed & hurt.

That night, the staff member, the person managing the song list: Jessika was dismissive & unprofessional toward me. When I politely asked about my turn to sing (3h after logging it in the system), she waved me off & made a gesture telling me to stay away from the stage, something I've never experienced there before with any of the other DJs (whom I love). On a previous visit, I missed my song because I went to the bathroom, & when I asked if I could still sing, she told me I had lost my chance with no flexibility.

Throughout the night, I noticed Jessika treated other people, those who look more like her, with warmth & friendliness. She spoke kindly to them, joked around, & gave them clear answers about their songs. But with me, she ignored me, refused to communicate, & made me feel excluded. Once it was finally my turn to pass, at 2:50am (knowing that I put my song around 11pm) She even called one of my song choices'horrible' & pressured me to pick another, which was humiliating in a place that's supposed to be fun & welcoming.

Experiencing this microaggression toward me, but also other POCs as well while being completely sober & just trying to enjoy a night of singing, was so very painful & frustrating. The crowd was wonderful as always, but Jessika's treatment completely changed the vibe & left me feeling unsafe & unwelcome.

Le Date is a beautiful spot with great people, & I really hope management addresses this behavior. Everyone deserves to be treated fairly & respectfully in a place meant for enjoyment.

Fun mais il faut vraiment tomber sur un bon crowd 😌 Shoutout au staff qui arrive à bien gérer! Bémol pour les toilettes très difficile d'accès!

😍 The KJ (Karaoke DJ) Joey is fun, kind & has an amazing voice. He genuinely wants people to live their best Karaoke lives. They use Karafun, the best app, has so many songs & many new songs. The crowd is always different & fun!

It wasn't very crowded. When it came time to get a second round of beers, we ended up going up directly to the bar to get it.
