Review Summary

Overall, New City Gas is described as a visually striking, high energy venue with great lighting and sound, offering a vibrant atmosphere that many reviews call ideal for a night out and for shows, with friendly staff and solid security and a reputation as a top Montreal nightlife spot. The experience is frequently praised for the electric vibe, the variety of events, and the ability to host large crowds, including memorable performances and a notable party atmosphere that keeps guests coming back, while some visits feel overpacked and hard to move with long waits at coat check and entry, occasional organizational missteps, and high drink prices. VIP options are often mentioned as improving comfort and flow during busy nights, though entrance and exit logistics can still be challenging for non-VIP attendees. Overall, the venue is seen as one of the best for electronic music and big nights, with many guests leaving with positive impressions despite the common caveat of crowding and some service inconsistencies.

The bartender refused to serve me a glass of water after buying 110$ worth of drinks.
I was completely dehydrated & asked for a glass because I prefer to not hold a bottle while dancing, & i did not feel like chugging a whole bottle in 5 seconds. But she completely refused & she insisted that if want to drink water i should buy a bottle. Is this even legal? What a shame!

awful experience. one of the employee stole my friends cigarette pack & when we tried to ask for it back, he escalated the situation. he got his manager to kick us out for no reason & wouldn't let us go inside to get our jackets back, so i waited in feels like -30 degrees in a tank top for 20 minutes. i'm sick today :/ how is it fair that we got kicked after spending so much to be there, because the staff stole from us? will not be going back.

Unreal experience at New City Gas! The production, sound system, & lighting are next level, & the atmosphere is unmatched. The crowd energy is amazing, & the venue is well organized despite how busy it gets.

Staff & security are professional, & everything runs smoothly. One of the best electronic music venues I've been to in Montreal, highly recommend!

Très décevant - expérience inacceptable

Ma soirée au New City Gas a été extrêmement décevante. La serveuse a entré elle-même un pourboire sur l'appareil avant même de nous le remettre, sous prétexte que nous ne lui donnerions pas assez. Nous voulions pourtant choisir nous-mêmes le pourcentage. Elle a même insinué qu'on allait lui donner un mauvais tip.

De plus, la barmaid a tenu un commentaire déplacé : « Si vous n'avez pas d'argent, vous ne devriez pas sortir. » - ce qui est totalement inacceptable dans un contexte de service à la clientèle.

À cela s'ajoute le fait que des consommations ont été ajoutées à notre facture alors que nous ne les avions pas commandées. Finalement, il y a eu une situation problématique avec la réservation du booth, qui nous a coûté beaucoup plus que ce qui avait été prévu initialement.

Je ne recommande pas cet établissement, surtout pour un groupe qui s'attend à un minimum de respect & de transparence.

Serveuse qui interpelle les clients si ils tipent en dessous de 18% (demande de rendre les produits)

The absolutely worst venue in Montreal. They prioritize VIP line (of course) so the regular coat check (since they have only two workers for this line, takes literally a whole hour to move. I saw a security guy screaming at a girl & pushing her touching her everywhere while someone was peeing in a flower jar & they were doing nothing about it.

My favourite place on planet earth 🌍

My first time was in 2013. To this day it is one of the greatest venues in the world.
Whether you're visiting or are a Montrealer this place is an absolute must destination to visit. The ambiance is incredible, sound system is uncontested as will be the memories.

So fortunate that I get to go now on a regular basis. I think the venue is only getting better with time. Definitely recommend!

One of my favourite venues for music events! The washroom stalls are nothing special, but there's a common fountain for everyone to wash their hands. It's really cool. It has 2 levels. The bottom level is like a lounge; it is not intimate. The top level is like a warehouse; high ceilings & more of space to dance. Only downside about this space is that it gets really crowded at sold out shows; this could also be because that oversell some shows. They need better crowd control.

Parfait 👯 Highly recommended for conferences, corporate events, or any night where you want something truly special. The atmosphere is fantastic - plenty of dancing, a tightrope walker, & an incredible DJ who keeps everyone on their feet.

Mais - & c'est un gros mais - les venues de DJ sont écoeurantes. Les décors sont toujours magnifiques, & les éclairages, technologiquement parlant, sont absolument incroyables. Ça te fait littéralement voyager.

Malgré tout, c'est une des plus belles découvertes à Montréal pour la scène rave & techno. Un must absolu.

The venue was severely overbooked, which led to a disappointing experience. We felt packed in like sardines, & the logistics failed at every turn. Despite pre-paying for coat check, we waited an hour to enter & another thirty minutes to retrieve our coats at the end of the night. I am very disappointed that this is the main venue in mtl for edm artist.

Good club, overcrowded bars & they have sectional for vip only. I'd recommend a smaller venue you'll get more bang for your buck. Unless you're going to see a well known artist.

Went to the Soul event on thursday december 18th. Beautiful ambiance & decoration but the DJs were snoozing. A dj is supposed to mix a track into a beat not play the same beat over & over again for two hours. A dj is supposed to react live to an audience otherwise it's a playlist. There was no afrohouse no house nothing it was just the same beat playing over & over again you don't need 3 djs for that. I'm sorry but the lineup were not djs.

New City Gas is honestly one of the best nightlife spots in Montreal. The atmosphere is electric the moment you walk in-great lighting, amazing sound, & a vibe that instantly puts you in a good mood. The DJs always deliver, & the music quality is next-level, whether it's a big-name artist or a themed night. The staff are friendly, professional & keep everything running smoothly along with the security!!

Too crowded. It turns the crowd very pushy since everyone's walking over each other. Even in metal shows I don't get pushed around THAT much. 70% of that capacity would be 5/5
