Le New City Gas raconte une histoire qui s’écrit depuis 1847. À l'époque, la New City Gas Company of Montreal utilisait le site pour transformer le charbon en gaz afin d'éclairer les rues de la métropole.
Globalement, les avis présentent New City Gas comme une destination nocturne à l’impact fort: son et lumière de premier ordre, ambiance électrique et énergie de foule remarquable, avec des productions et des DJ de qualité qui font souvent sensation. Cependant, la fréquentation peut être très élevée et le lieu peut devenir surpeuplé, le contrôle de foule n’est pas toujours suffisant et les files au vestiaire ou à la sortie peuvent être longues. Le personnel est majoritairement perçu comme professionnel et accueillant, et le vestiaire ainsi que la sécurité obtiennent des retours positifs, surtout lors des soirées très demandées où le billet VIP est recommandé pour plus de confort. Le coût des boissons est souvent jugé élevé et l’organisation peut varier selon les soirées, surtout quand c’est sold out. Malgré cela, l’endroit est loué pour son agencement à plusieurs niveaux, son espace de danse généreux et sa capacité à accueillir des soirées thématiques ou des concerts intenses. En somme, New City Gas est une référence du nightlife montréalais, offrant des expériences spectaculaires tout en appelant à une meilleure gestion des flux lors des gros événements.
We went here last weekend for a show & it was a good experience. The audio quality is good, drinks are nice & the atmosphere is lively. Sometimes it gets too crowded but I can't complain. That means it is a popular place. Always down for some late night fun.
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!
The place was super duper crowded. You can barely dance. The club is huge & has fancy lights. Good crowd though. The staff is friendly. I would say pick & choose your DJ. We went with Camel Phat & was 3/5. Have seen much better lightening & sounds than this but it is worth a visit if you love partying. Drinks are $$$.
We went to NCG to see DJ Pauly D on Feb 28. We bought VIP tickets & braced ourselves given the amount of negative reviews. I can say with confidence that the negative reviews are a gen-pop & management problem.
VIP tickets are the fast way in & out, through coat check, own bar & bathrooms, etc. Bar staff/all staff we encountered were pleasant & zero issues with aggression in regard to tips. We even danced with a dozen police officers who quietly & politely came in to observe a few people, without incident. This night was nearly sold out, & we had ample dancing room near the VIP bar. We started leaving the venue 20 minutes before close to avoid the rush, & coat check ran smoothly.
Gen-pop most definitely looked like a very, very long wait to leave the building & I'm glad we splurged for the VIP tickets. It is obvious at the coat check/exit lines that the problem is mainly understaffing. Given the volume of this venue (2500 people), I am surprised patrons & management expect it to run like a venue of 250 people. I leave hockey games 10 minutes early too.
More staff are needed at the coat check desk, we only saw 3 or 4 which is grossly insufficient to handle a wave of over 2000 possibly intoxicated people trying to get outside at once. More staff are needed to direct the flow of people. Metal gates acting as pathways only help so much, but management/staff were expecting people to leave the coat check line to exit the building *through* the line entering the coat check, heavily slowing everyone down.
Drinks were average price, not what was implied in many reviews; we were ordering gin & tonics & gin & club sodas for $12 each.
It was February, cold, but the venue wasn't cold as described.
We had an amazing time & would absolutely return but only with VIP tickets again. They are 100% worth it.
So! I came to this club on nye & lost my phone. Despite the frustration I decided I came to Montréal for a good time & I will forget about my phone for the moment. Every time I got a drink I asked if a phone had been returned, there was one (not mine) but each of them said to come back at 3am, so I did. Coming back I went through every bouncer at the front telling them I had lost my phone. Once I was inside I looked all around the floor & could not find it. They have these plastic buckets by the bar & my friend had told me she felt like I dropped my phone in the bucket along with my drink. Suddenly I had a flashback of that happening & told the manager, a bouncer brought me to the dishwashing room & it was not there. I then explained my coat check ticket was ALSO in my phone case. He brought me to the coat check & I had to wait for everyone else to get their coats. A lovely man working asked me why I was standing there & I explained my situation. He went to look for my phone in the dishwashing room again. He returned & walked by me not saying anything. BUT! I saw a phone in his hand & it was happily returned to me. The staff really helped me & it is greatly appreciated. Side note, my friend tipped one of the lady bartenders, she said that's not enough then tipped herself a hefty amount which i consider to be incredibly greedy & rude. So that's the only beef I have with club. Lastly, Markus Schulz played a fire set & I will be returning!
Overall a good experience It would be a full 5 stars if the drinks weren't absolutely off-the-wall priced. I mean 3 drinks for $81 with tip. A line needs to be drawn. I know it's a club, & it's supposed to be more expensive. But you also have to buy tickets ($32) each at least. I just think it's a little unnecessary to charge so much for drinks! Anyway, FYI, pre-drink before you go. P.S. Water isn't free; it's like $6 a bottle or something ludicrous. Oh, & I forgot to mention keeping the water in the bathrooms warm. Personally, I think it's a crime to do that. But here we are. But their $5 water or die of dehydration.

Friendly staff Great place for the after party of ÎLESONIQ Clean bathroom They need to chill with pricing their drinks! Expensive drinks - we ordered tequila shot they put in in the shaker & was watered down - 1 shot was 15$ plus tips LOL
Ok, yes, this place has spent a lot of money & effort to look like it is a fancy place. Amazing plants & lots to look at & to focus on. The problem is they didn't put that money where a nice restaurant needs to 1st. The food & service. From the bent gold plated forks, the pretentiously presented scallops that were so seasoned you couldn't taste the scallops' delicate taste, to the service that couldn't be bothered to replenish drinks or pay attention to a table of 12+. We would have bought so many more cocktails before going over to the dance club. The music in the restaurant part was so loud we didnt feel like we needed to be in the club part. Overall, it's somewhere if you want to over pay for poor service, mediocre food, but take pictures for your social media, this is the place, cluttered & crowed, But otherwise, try somewhere else & go take pictures somewhere where they don't have to try so hard. I wouldn't go back; I saw, I ate, I left. I didn't feel much like staying to dance after that experience.
Honestly, great venue, terrible staff- super rude. Depending on the Dj depends on the crowd. I've had a great night here & I've walked out the door after one drink. Proceed with caution on the event. But a beautiful space!
New City Gas is an electrifying experience! The nightclub boasts exceptional sound & visual effects, creating an immersive atmosphere. With reasonable drink prices, it's a win-win. Just remember to book your coat check in advance to avoid unnecessary wait times-saves you at least 45 mins!
Super bel endroit! Parfait pour aller voir un DJ & danser. Les drinks sont très standards, même pour un club. & chers. Le temps d'attente pour les vestiaires est problématique!!
