Le Date Karaoke is a lively and popular spot in Montreal's vibrant LGBTQ neighborhood where high energy crowds, good drinks, and strong performances create a fun, party vibe on weekend nights, and the staff are frequently praised for friendly service; the atmosphere is welcoming with a lively crowd and a patio, but busy evenings can bring long waits to sing, occasional mic or queue issues, and changes to reservation policies and pricing that some patrons find frustrating, though many guests still call it the best karaoke in town and keep coming for the inclusive, festive scene.
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.

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.
😍 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!
