Edited: it's WAAAAY overrated. It's absolutely the tiniest nightclub. We waited hours in line, expecting something amazing instead found a dingy barely decorated hovel so small we couldn't even move to dance. Music wasn't good

Sans Soleil has been on my to-visit list for a good while. I was pleased that I took the time to drop by - an absolute gem of a spot! Despite being located in a basement, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, & you can't help but feel transported to a different decade. They play records all the time, & although I didn't experience it, the space transforms into a vibrant dance club at night. The drinks were great (especially if you are into Saké or Japanese Whiskeys), & the service was fantastic… next time I'll have to give the food a try :) Highly recommend this spot if you are looking to enjoy some nice music in an intimate setting.

i know this rating is harsh but trust me when i say it hurts to say this. i'm writing this review really as a plea that i hope will reach management. sans soleil is the only club i know of that i can go to on any night of the week, without ever checking who's mixing & rest assured the music will be immaculate. if you take away anything from this review, let it be that while the venue itself is a 3/5, the music, sound system & the CURATION & STANDARD of music is a 3/3.

that being said, i think this is one club that could seriously benefit from a stricter set of house rules that most clubs in bigger cities have:

1. no phones on the dance floor
2. please leave the dance floor to those who actually want to dance. ie: the dancefloor is just for dancing, not chatting, not standing still... especially at the front of the booth.

i can always understand lacking space when everybody's having fun, but what instantly kills the mood is to not have enough space to dance when 40% of the dance floor are people who are standing still. all this while the backroom, a space seemingly designed to host conversation... is empty. we all know the space is small & intimate, but i do think there is room for everyone to enjoy themselves & be respectful of the music & eachothers' space.

maybe that room could benefit from a louder sound system & slightly dimmer lits for the shyer folks of the club?

we come to sans soleil to dance! let the people dance!

Had a great time with a few friends, & had the best server, Gray. He was extremely attentive & funny, fitting into the vibe of our group & the overall intimate surrounding of the place. As an added bonus, the bottom floor turned into a dance floor around 22:00. Would go again & a highlight of our trip!

Sans Soliel.... phew where do I even begin. The ambiance was lively yet relaxed & made for one of the best outings I've had in a while! I suggest reserving a table with a few friends & working your way through their EXQUISITE food & drink offerings... the shashimi is a must! We had a very kind & knowledgeable server named Gray, who's presence was a welcome extension of the warmth Montreal has to offer even during such frigid temperatures. My experience would not have been the same without them! After 9:45 the space turned into a dance floor; PRO-V was the DJ the night we went & I loved the 90s hip-hop/ r&b vibes provided. Sans Soliel is definitely 10/10 & worth a visit!

One of the best meals I've ever had!! Andi, our server, was beyond delightful & was super helpful with recommendations for both food & drink. She has INCREDIBLE taste & we enjoyed everything she recommended.

Sans Soleil is by far one of the best dinner & dance spots in all of Montreal! I'll be coming back soon. Thank you Andi for everything!

Have been here many times to dance - is one of my favourite places for that. Recently tried the dining experience there & adored the food & ambiance. & the service was out of this world! Sometimes good cocktails are hard to find in mtl, but they are so tasty & complex here.

Went on a Wednesday & a Saturday. Wednesday was way more fun because more room to dance & not as crowded plus the crowd was way better felt like pros vs amateurs. This place spins strictly vinyl & bartenders really take their time craft the drinks on Wednesday. Bartender spent like 10 minutes on my drinks on Wednesday night.

extremely good vibes, a place where people actually want to dance & enjoy themselves instead of standing around on there phone. Definitely get there early as the line is long
