Le Date is widely recognized as a vibrant and energetic karaoke destination in the village, frequently praised for its lively atmosphere, welcoming crowd, and high-energy music. Many patrons highlight the friendly service from specific staff members and appreciate the communal, inclusive feel that defines the experience for regulars and visitors alike. While the venue is a favorite for many due to its great drinks and fun environment, common concerns include long wait times for karaoke slots, inconsistent management of the song queue, and occasional issues with sound quality or technical support. Recent feedback also reflects a shift in service consistency, with some guests expressing frustration regarding mandatory reservation policies, rising prices, and experiences of unprofessional conduct or perceived favoritism by certain employees. Despite these mixed reports, the establishment remains a popular choice for those looking to enjoy a night of singing and socialization in Montreal.
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.
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.
