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.
New City Gas se démarque dans la vie nocturne de Montréal par son énergie électrique, une production impressionnante et un son et un éclairage de premier ordre qui créent d'emblée une ambiance excitante. Le lieu attire de grandes foules, surtout lors des spectacles à guichets remplis, ce qui peut rendre la danse difficile et provoquer de longues files au vestiaire et au bar. Les boissons sont assez chères, mais l'accès VIP vaut souvent le coup pour faciliter l'entrée et gagner de l'espace. Dans l'ensemble, ce lieu est salué pour son ambiance, la qualité des DJ et l'expérience mémorable, bien que la gestion de la foule et certaines irrégularités de service soient fréquemment signalées comme des points à améliorer.
Okay venue, but one staff member is a major liability.
I genuinely enjoyed the atmosphere of this venue & found most of the staff to be excellent, but my experience was completely derailed by a single bartender. The blonde woman in the questionable medium grey top displayed some of the most erratic & unprofessional behavior I've ever encountered in the service industry, coming from someone regularly went out in Toronto.
After struggling with a simple transaction & managing to overcharge me after multiple corrections, she appeared to have a total lapse in composure (like straight manic energy). When I questioned the price, she became visibly hostile & had the audacity to ask if I was'from here.' As a person of colour born in Canada, I find it embarrassing that this brand of bias still exists in 2026-especially from someone representing a'high-profile' venue, but then again we're talking about Montreal here, the bar was low to start....
To end the interaction, she actually shoved my drinks across the bar counter in a fit of frustration (like an actual child throwing a temper tantrum). It was a bizarre, super uncomfortable & unstable display of customer service. I was more than happy to tip her colleagues, who were professional & possessed actual social skills, but this individual is an absolute embarrassment to your brand.
I will not be returning to this venue, I will happily go out of my way to let anyone know to avoid this place, or anywhere that poor excuse of a'bartender'. I would honestly rather pay double the price anywhere else than subject myself to that level of disrespect again. If you're visiting from Toronto or elsewhere, save yourself the headache & go somewhere that values its patrons.
To the crazy blonde bartender, learn how to do your job & maybe you'll get a tip, it's not It's rocket science, LOL. I've never met someone with such a poor temper. Instead of telling your colleagues to not serve me (entirety due to your non-existent bartending & social skills), ask her why she got tipped instead of you. You have the emotional & social intelligence of a child, like genuinely.
I could care less for a canned/copy & paste response from this place, just deal with that pest of a bartender, maybe teach her basic counting (1 to 10) & sign up for anger management?? Don't overwhelm her too much of shell throw another childish temper tantrum.
To break it down in simple & basic words to the airhead bartender:
Charging wrong price + child like behaviour = no tip
Tldr; don't go here unless you want to deal with entitled people who expect participation trophies after failing to do the BASIC duties of their own job.
If you want to be treated terribly & spend a fortune on drinks, this is your place. Ordered two vodka cranberry drinks, total came to $44. The bartender girl handed me the machine & I selected 5% tip (it took her 10 seconds to make these…let's not normalize insane tips for someone just doing their job). She ripped the machine out of my hands, took the drinks off the counter, & said I MUST tip 18% & she will not give me my drinks if I don't tip 18%. I said tipping is voluntary isn't it? She said'no, if you don't tip 18% I need to pay for your drinks. If you aren't going to tip 18% I cannot give you these drinks'. Insanity.
To top it off, if you don't speak French, they'll overcharge you for everything & pretend it's the norm, including coat check!
Save your dignity & avoid this place.

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!!
