I just have a quick rant / advice for people considering going to Montreal to party
So i just finished my 4th year at U of T and some close buddies (4 guys in all) and I decide to go to Montreal for a couple of days because we've heard that it's a party town.
Day 1: Thursday
We booked our hotel room with 4 beds in one room and find out at check in that the room was intended for 2 people. If we wanted to have 4 ppl in the room, we have to pay $40 more a night. Fine. We paid.
After catching the habs game at the 3 brewers and getting hammered, we visit a strip club. The girls in the club are disgusting (late 20s/ early 30s, mostly chubby, dirty strippers). We paid for a "lesbian show" with 2 strippers that was agreed on to be $40. After going to the private booth with them and watching them eat eachother out for 30s seconds and yapping with the bouncer for another 30 seconds. They tell us that it's going to be $50 more per person including the 40 we paid them. We were scared of getting our ass kicked so after a breif argument, we obliged.
Went back to the hotel feeling like **** (we're students, have a tight budget)
Day 2: Friday
Walked around the city during the day. Nothing to see. Toronto has everything montreal has except better. The streets of montreal are dirty. Graffiti everywhere. Run down houses every other block. Homeless drunk harassing you at every intersection. The metro system smells like burnt rubber.
Had a sandwich at Schwartz's - highlight of the day.
That night - Went to the 2 "hottest" clubs in MTL.
First - La Mouche - all guys and a few chubby girls. 4 gogo dancers on stage who were the only ones dancing. Place was empty at 1:30am. We quickly leave and head to the other "hot spot".
Tonic - Nicer venue, all guys. Dancefloor was empty. Ginos with their shirts unbuttoned halfway everywhere jumping around.
We head back to our hotel, passing by dirty hookers on every block - some without any bottoms on.
Disgusted, go back to bed.
Day 3: Saturday
Visit the lakeshore. Nothing to see. Walked by a lot of beautiful churches, but can't go in because they charge an entrance fee (wtf)...
Eat at Frite Alors - poutine was WAAAAYYY overhyped.
Ended up playing cards at a second cup.
Went home.
Worst trip ever. If you're considering Montreal, don't go. Just come to Toronto instead. It's an English version of Montreal except everything is 100 times better.
