Le Date Karaoke

I do not recommend this place.

First of all, we could only sit at the bar, & the staff was very rude. My boyfriend tipped 30% on the first drinks, but later I ordered two more expensive drinks & didn't feel like tipping again.

While I was paying, the waiter was watching the card machine & then looked at me & said:'If next time you don't tip, I'm not serving you anymore. This is Montreal & you're obligated to tip.'

I felt extremely embarrassed & harassed by the way he spoke to me. He clearly noticed I wasn't from Montreal & tried to take advantage of that. Such a shame.

Anyway, it was my last drink there. Never coming back again.

If you still decide to go, avoid being served by the shortest bartender in the room.

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.

AMAZING karaoke bar in Montreals fabulous LGBTQ neighborhood. This bar is so lively, came here on a Saturday night, it was packed by around midnight. Drinks were good, service was good. The patrons singing were great; such a fun energy in this place! Highly suggest coming here!

Awesome place to dance & drink with your friends on a Friday or Saturday night, some other nights of the week is also pretty good. It can take a while for you to sing though on a busy night

BEWARE: DJ will remove your name from the queue without notice & award your slots to himself or his friends/favourite patrons.

In my case he even bragged to me at the end of the night about how great it had been for him without knowing I was one of those paying customers whose turn he denied so he could indulge himself.

Too bad because the absolute darling of a doorman (Stephen) & the bar staff were beyond expectations & really were friendly, efficient & patient, but this guy just ruined our night.

I'm a longtime singer & karaoke enjoyer, I came at about half past midnight with a large group of people from work even though I didn't really have money to spare & really should've gone home because I haven't been able to sing publicly in a long time & was really made to look forward to it.

So I entered my name into the queue upon arriving, paid twice the normal amount for a beer thinking I'd drink it & go after I'd had my turn. After almost an hour though I began to notice some of my colleagues, including ones who arrived after me, had already gotten two, three turns & the DJ had awarded himself a similar amount, while myself & other friends who had entered their names a long time ago ended up staying until last call & were never called.

So basically I spent over fifty dollars I didn't have & wasted what should have been a productive night on the false promise that I would get a service, & instead ended up paying for some unknown guy to pick a setlist he likes & perform in front of a captive audience.

Will not return. 🤷🏼?♀?

Best terrasse & drinks in the village. Atmosphere is truly community, year after year when we visit. Mario is a superstar. Love this place.

Thoroughly disappointed in my recent experience at Le Date. It used to be my go-to karaoke bar, but the rudeness of the waiter at my last visit was just not it. I will not be going back.

It was my friend's birthday party & we came in during the daytime -- they had asked her to pay for a DJ to come in for the karaoke portion, despite it just being a booth booking AT A KARAOKE BAR & not a private room.

There was no tip % option on the machine so I defaulted to a $1 tip & the waiter said'uh NO', RETURNING it to me specifying it was a 5% tip & it needed to be at least 15% (1 mini-pitcher of white sangria - which was really watered down white wine & oj). He returned the machine back to me with an additional $2 to tap for -- never have I ever been FORCED to tip & so rudely over a 1 drink order. That is not how you treat clientele.
