Reviews of Newspeak (Night Club)

Matthew Litwin

Decent venue, limited beer selection at the bar.

mathias

amazing when there is a good dj

Cee

Huge fan of this venue. Always fantastic sound, cheap drinks, great people, awesome bands.

Fred Morin

(Translated) Fall in love with this club! Very underground atmosphere, excellent music with a beautiful atmosphere. Evenings start late, but that's not their fault. Only problem being that they don't have smirnoff / popers. Only beer or fort. (Original) Tomber sous le charme de ce club ! Ambiance très underground, de la musique excellente avec une belle ambiance. Les soirées commences tard, mais ca c'est pas leurs fautes. Seul problème étant qu'il n'ont pas de smirnoff/popers. Seulement de la bierre ou du fort.

Hakar Sheikh

A real night club by definition! Good djs and crowd, but a little disappointed with the sound system I was expecting more.

Sterling Archer

Yuck. Sound system needs work.

Vincent Nadon

(Translated) Nice atmosphere in this small performance hall (Original) Belle ambiance dans cette petite salle de spectacle

Sarah Lily

Fun venue, would definitely recommend this place for a fun night of dancing!

Steve St-Amour

(Translated) Classique???? (Original) Classique????

Angela Au

Super dark and extremely cold. However perfect venue for the comedy festival...not sure how it is as a night club.

xD

(Translated) A little creepy front, it doesn't give a very good impression from the outside, hence my star less, otherwise we had great evenings, very good stage, very cool staff and good equipment (the sound could be of better quality and a little less strong but we will not dwell too much on this kind of detail, simple little avenue for improvement!) In any case, I recommend the place (Original) Devanture un peu glauque, ça ne donne pas une très bonne impression vu de l'extérieur, d'où mon étoile en moins, sinon on a passé de super soirées, très bonne scène, un personnel très cool et bon équipement (le son pourrait être de meilleure qualité et un peu moins fort mais on va pas trop s'attarder sur ce genre de détails, simple petite piste d'amélioration !) En tout cas je recommande l'endroit ????

Ciane Fernandes

Nice place! Good music!

Could use a little more in the low if the frequency range though ;)

Marie Laurence Valois

(Translated) Excellent performance hall, very good variety of events, cozy atmosphere to see underground. Recommended! (Original) Excellente salle de spectacles, très bonne variétés d'événement, ambiance feutré voir underground. Recommandé!

Älex C Huynh

Nice spot! The colors and lighting were simple but cool. Decent sound system. Layout is okay.

Ivan Karaulov

That was a great place until security started pushing their policy of not wearing a jacket. They told us to pay or to go away, after we payed 20$. They've started pushing …

Christ K.

Cool underground electro spot, good prices

Ali Zangana

If you’re in Montreal, and you’re into techno music, this is your go to place. Great vibes with great music. Service is great.

Sam Vriniotis

Always a great time. Been multiple times. Doesn’t matter what artists are playing, your guaranteed a good time and a good vibe.

Jonathan Catellier

(Translated) Atmosphere of fire and never too crowded (Original) Ambiance de feu et jamais trop de monde

Aurore DVr

(Translated) Very good selection of DJs but too small for the crowd. (Original) Très bonne sélection de DJs mais endroit trop petit pour la crowd.

nice place nice vibe, security is not too much jack ass

Richard J

Tried several times to inquire about refunds to postponed events..no answer. Do you guys even check your messages?

Ben Lemoine

Wrost service ever. Don't go there.

Frederick Ian Chu

Small venue. But i love it. It feels like you are more part of the show. Lights and sound are great. I go whenever i get the chance.

Aditya Barbadikar

Amazing night life

James Ravel

(Translated) Particular atmosphere, be patient to access the locker room (Original) Ambiance assez particulière, être patient pour accéder aux vestiaires

Yalin K

Loved the ambiance. Lightings and sound system is pretty cool.

Shahyar Ghobadpour

Drinks are not too expensive. It's not overly loud towards the back of the club, so you can actually have a conversation. Bit of a more intimate vibe for a club, which is nice.

Valerie Bourdon

Cool venue for electronic artists. There always seems to be technical difficulties with equipment at the shows I go to, though.

Vikrant Tomar

Good night-out spot, sometimes they'd invite good DJs. Overall vibe is very nice.

Joel Roy

What can I say ! Newspeak is the new it spot. Ranging from hip hop to Uk Mc's all the way to the biggest Djs in the world , they got it !

Tamir Schlanger

Best spot ever

Aleksandar Lukic

Good party here. We came here after Igloo fest and it was a lot of fun

ronno ronno

The audience wanted to talk more than listen, at least after the first 20 ft from the stage. Not great for a quiet artist perhaps.

Maxime Desirat

(Translated) Good room but beware of the scam in the locker room and the behavior of bouncers. After a search worthy of entry into a very high security zone, mandatory cloakroom: $ 3 to drop a coat, ok, very arbitrary policy but we play the game. But to take her coat to go out and re enter, the employee asks $ 1, under the pretext that it is "additional workload" !! Never seen, scam! Practicing thieves! This is the first time I hear a thing like Montreal especially when it's -15 ° outside! This policy is to be reviewed as soon as it is really a lack of respect towards the customers ... (Original) Bonne salle mais attention à l'arnaque aux vestiaires et au comportement des bouncers. Après une fouille digne d'une entrée en zone à très haute sécurité, vestiaire obligatoire : 3$ pour déposer un manteau, ok, politique très arbitraire mais on joue le jeu. Mais pour prendre son manteau pour sortir et re rentrer, l'employée demande 1$, sous prétexte que c'est "de la charge de travail supplémentaire"!! Du jamais vu, arnaque! Pratique de voleurs! C'est la première fois que j'entends un truc pareil à Montréal surtout quand il fait -15° dehors!! Cette politique est à revoir au plus vite car c'est vraiment un manque de respect envers la clientèle...

Zachary Zalass

Great sound system, AC is great and finally working again, great talent and hey they sell Moosehead

Karen Maassen

Awesome music and lighting, very hardcore trap music tonight

Jordan Moman

Very solid nightclub if ur looking for some tech house, deep house or trap! Sound system is solid, bouncers were definitely annoying though :(

Mike Blake

Nice little club

Mick Petitfrère

(Translated) A festive place for sluggish evenings! ;) (Original) Un lieu festif pour des soirées poussives! ;)

Carlos Godinez

Too notch pure techno booking for the purist techno heads. It’s like going to a solid rave or after hours without the actual “after hours”. You can go home early and be a normal person the next day, knowing you had a not so ordinary right night or this can be your pre-party. Wtv the case may be. This place is tight.

Camille Hamel

Was assaulted by security staff for absolutely no reason. Ive opened up a case and I'm claiming damages. …

Came at 10pm and in the website it says 10pm but they wouldn't let us in till 11pm !! And in the website they say there will be the lost kings group but non of them shows up . And still waiting at the stage wearing a hat .

Nate Walsh

A bit loud and expensive.

xavier Nada

Marc-Olivier loyer

Best underground club in Montreal

Andrey Chebotarev (AC)

Unbelievable sound, great deep house music, friendly staff and all is reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Chris Foley

Club is small and intimate. Good sound system and the volume is never obnoxiously loud. They always have the good DJs. This is one of my favorite venues

Darling Clementine

The show I went to see began late because of "Technical Difficulties." That's fine. The opening act had an issue with her sound and the venue's sound guys was talking to a girl at the bar as the artist needed help....... The main act was amazing, but again, tried to call the sound guy's attention but he was texting. I guess the technical difficulties meant the venue's team was not doing it's job of setting up a show THEY SOLD TICKET FOR. The only thing this venue has going for it is the lighting, but again, never even used when the artist was performing!!! What a horrible way to welcome artists to Montreal! It was also freezing inside-on a summer night. I'll never go back here again. What a way to treat artists!

Sunny Profit

Bumping beats

Cynthia Thangarajah

Love the ambience and the crowd at Newspeak. Have been to more than one of their events and have always had a blast!

Hugo

One of the best venue in Montreal :)

Alexandra Boutin

bon vibe

Tristan Tidrow

Great sound system.

Lydia Duval Gagnon

(Translated) The staff is perfect. Courteous, respectful and efficient. The drinks are good and the line up is often excellent. Unfortunately, the establishment is often understaff and it seems in the number of people who should be out and who are not ... Despite everything, it is a great place to dance and have fun. (Original) Le staff est parfait. Courtois, respectueux et efficace. Les drinks sont biens et le line up et souvent excellent. Malheureusement, l'établissement est souvent understaff et cela parait dans le nombre de gens qui devraient être sortis et qui ne le sont pas... Malgré tout, c'est une place géniale où danser et s'amuser.

Karina Amyot

(Translated) The style of music is house and it's very quiet. Few people. (Original) Le style de musique est du house et c'est très tranquille. Peu de monde.

Kelsey Brandin

In my top 3 clubs for Montréal, for sure. Awesome underground vibe with great act bookings.

Brent McLennan

Not Abad place to see a show or hear a DJ set. Small but we'll laid out.

Youssif Ganni

Great events just don’t get near the speakers for too long

Alain Lamontagne

Nice spot!

coolpiehead1234

It was great fun and the music was nice, but I didn't like that the prices for drinks were not posted, it made it hard to figure out what I wanted cause the bartender would have to yell over the music to tell me the prices

Abby El-Asmar

Nice venue with a lot of quality underground artists. Only reason im not giving 5 stars is i found the ceiling to be a bit low which might feel cramped for a tall person.

Sean Muir

Great venu and acts every week

Mathew Gennaro

Nice little Club in Montreal that brings in some good talent. I saw rezz play here which may have caused the place to be jam packed. There was no way we can get anywhere near the stage to see her play and we're stuck in the back. The service was fast here and the beers were reasonably priced

Emilie Bisnaire

My favorite Montreal's underground club. Sort of reminds me of clubs you can find in Berlin. The atmosphere is very chill, the whole lighting is red/blue the music is always amazing. The crowd is very chill and they're here for the music and not to hook up with people as most clubs here "are for". You can also chose to chill at the table or next to the coatcheck area. It has only one floor so one dancefloor so you won't lose your friends inside! For techno/electro lovers: please try out this place you won't regret it!

Jonathan Muller

Close and personal setting, you are meters from the Dj so it is a unique experience that you don't get to experience at most night clubs, but this place needs some fans or A/C or something. Be prepared for a sweaty night of dancing.

Joe Alard

Good spot:)

Mitchell Bundy

Great vibes and good soundsystem. Regularly booking amazing international talent. Wooden dancefloor means you can keep groovin all night long.

Baptiste Desmonts

Perfect place to dance !

Jazzy Fizzle

Cool vibe great sound system. Inexpensive entrance fee and drinks

Devin Whitaker

$20 cover but completely worth it, good vibes crazy lights and cheap drinks

Marc-Olivier Arsenault

dive bar great lil spot

Ken St Pierre

(Translated) Very good sound, excellent artists, unpretentious clientele, underground look with just enough class! (Original) Très bon son , excellent artistes, clientèle sans prétention, look underground avec juste assez de classe !

Louis La Lune

(Translated) We waited outside in the cold for 40 minutes after paying for our tickets. Be saying we shouldn't have taken the air. Mismanagement of tickets (an oversold compared to the capacity) should not be punitive to customers. In addition, this excuse does not seem correct to me, because during our wait the bouncer enticed by the money let in around twenty people who did not have a ticket ... (Original) On a attendu dehors dans le froid pendant 40 min alors qu'on avait payé nos billets. Sois disant qu'on aurait pas dû prendre l'air. La mauvaise gestion des billets (une survente par rapport à la capacité d'accueil) ne devrait pas être punitif aux clients. De plus cette excuse me semble pas correct, car durant notre attente le videur alléché par l'argent a laissé rentrer une vingtaine de personne qui n'avait pas de billet...

David

(Translated) One of my favorite rooms in Montreal for a music show. The atmosphere is great, the beer not too expensive. However, there is a lack of a place to sit. Apart from a few benches that fill in 2 minutes, you have to stay standing. The sound system is very good. (Original) Une de mes salles préféré à Montréal pour un spectacle de musique. L'abiance est génial, la bière pas trop cher. Il manque par contre un peu d'endroit où s'asseoir. Apart quelques banquettes qui se remplissent en 2min, il faut rester debout. Le système de son est très bon.

James

Very unprofessional pretty much a scam for artist and audience... if you are looking for play here don't expect much and if you are a attending a show set your standards real low, expect less than your money's worth. The sound person left the acts on stage hanging with no vocals and many other problems throughout the night. He was often "busy" texting at the sound booth or not at the sound booth when the artist requested help LIVE. They cut power to the stage during the main acts closing song at 10:30 on a Friday night. The event was sold as 7-11pm. Be really careful dealing with them. Also it's cold cold cold inside they blast ac (on cold nights too) bring a sweater and dress warm even on a hot Mtl summer night.

teagan harris

Very reasonable cover, 5$ tequila take that as you will. "Manditory" tipping... don't really agree with that as it's not exactly what tipping means. Very cool venue just make sure you like house music. Average age about 30. If the music was my taste I would probably go back but not rushing back

J Tremblay

This place is LIT if you like to dance to some deep music.

Paul Keleny

Bought tickets online (Detroit Swindle), arrived, showed tickets but was told we could not come in and to wait in line with about 60 other people (of the 8 I asked, none had tickets). The line did not move for 10 minutes. Doorman said no one can go in right away cause the place is full. Then he let in 2 people in line who had no tickets. We peaced out, not to return until retributed. The only other time I went there (Major Laser member DJ-set) the busboys took away our full drinks (4) when we weren't looking and their photographer took a picture of my friend's ass and posted it on online without consent or permission.

Sudharsan Ramesh

Great Place

Lola You

Great club!!! The music is not crazy loud, you can still have a conversation. Great sized dance floor, nice ambiance and decor, respectful staff and good music. Well situated also.

Ruslan A

I bought my ticket in advance to see an artist, but he never showed up! These guys are scammers. Also, they don't have air-conditioners, was very stuffy! Impossible to be inside during summer time!

Aymen DERAOUI

DO I PAY TO HAVE THIS KIND OF TREATMENT ? SECURITY ARE THERE TO ENSURE IT NOT TO INJURE UR CLIENTS. I went friday night to Newspeak to see my friends playing and Antigone (fan of his music <3). Got kicked-out for nothing arround 2am and i went outside with the bouncer without resisting. When i told them i have my bag in the coat-check, i think they didn't believe me, they started being agressive towards me, they even threaten to call the police (go find out why) and literally told me to come back the day after to take back my bag ... when i didn't want to leave the door without my bag, one bouncer started pushing me and end up smashing me on the floor while i was still telling him "i'm doing nothing, why are you hurting me ?". All this with zero excuse after they found out my bag was really in the coat-check.

Good

Patrick Barre

Male barman is a scammer. Gave 20$ bill for a 4$ drink. Gives me 1$ change. Gave him benefit of doubt but after clearly giving 20$ for 4$ drink and receiving 1$ change confronted barman. He tried saying I gave him 5 but it had been 2nd time. Very defensive and deflected me to other female bartenders afterwards. I tipped genourously beforehand! I hate thieves/scammers. Avoid this bar or hand out 5s????

Kari Caruana

DJ, venue, and audience were great. I had a blast. The only bad vibe was the security team. The bouncer at the door insulted my intelligence. He asked me for ID and to remove my mask so he can validate my identity. When I removed my mask he …

Katheryne McNeil

Great soundsystem, most of the employees are friendly and efficient. One of the places i go to the most. Def worth checking out, especially on fridays.

Rodrigo Vergara

One of the best Nightclubs in Montreal. No cheese, strictly the best in underground electronic music.

Jared Barlow

Great club if you like deep house. The bathrooms aren't clearly marked men or women. I wish the bartenders gave out glasses of water if they did it would get 5 stars

Mortadha Ben Fekih

ABig & pretty space to Party Respectful door guys, polite coat check girls Gentle barman & cool ambient with DJs

Horst Schacht

Pretty neat place to have fun, though it can be easily crowded.

SunnY B

My man Will there is the ????! Amazing lighting and sound system... dope venue for an intimate show.

Mathieu Tremblay

One of the few techno black box left

Andro Gobbo

The only nightclub I liked going to. They have good DJs, fair prices, the crowd has always been respectful during my visits and the owner is a very friendly guy. My only wish would be that they invest in a better soundsystem because there's a lot of room for improvement in that department.

Jean-Pascal Riopel

(Translated) Everything is awesome ... Until the show ends. Suddenly, the door mans and even one of the waitresses (to whom you gave about $ 50 in tippe during the evening) yell at you to get out as soon as possible ... People are pushed towards the exit despite the crowd. which reigns given the number of people present. The sound, decor and atmosphere throughout the evening are A1. But the lack of civility and delicacy of the staff make it a mixed experience but above all insulting. Jean-Pascal Riopel. (Original) Tout est géniale... Jusqu'à ce que le spectacle se termine. Soudainement, les door mans et même une des serveuses (à qui vous avez donné environ 50$ de tippe au courant de la soirée) vous crient par la tête de sortir au plus vite... On pousse les gens vers la sortie malgré la cohue qui reigne étant donné le nombre de personnes présentes. Le son, le décor et l'ambiance au courant de la soirée sont A1. Mais le manque de civisme et de delicatesse du personnel en font une expérience mitigé mais surtout insultante. Jean-Pascal Riopel.

Jonny

Small but still spacial enough to dance and enjoy yourself. Great music, and an interesting underground and hipster crowd. I thought the lighting was gorgeous and the place just seemed very warehouse and underground but in a good way. I would go again!

Catherine B.

(Translated) Great place, good bookings. The place is cool and intimate, but it's super hot on the dance floor. (Original) Super endroit, de bons bookings. L'endroit est cool et intime, mais il fait super chaud sur la piste de danse.

Stefan Morgan

Mathieu Rama

(Translated) Berlin-style super club, good sound, people are nice. I go on occasion to the red grizzly nights, the programming is often good. (Original) super club type berlinois, bon son, les gens sont sympas. J'y vais à l'occasion aux soirées grizzly rouge, la programmation est souvent bonne.

Ciaran Brandin

Amazing vibe and fantastic music as well!

Charles Prot

(Translated) Various programming (techno, house, hip-hop, dubstep). Good atmosphere and original lighting. Quality of its average however. (Original) Programmation variées (techno, house, hip-hop , dubstep). Bonne ambiance et éclairage original. Qualité de son moyenne cependant.

Raidan Al-Eryani

We come here rather frequently as a DJ we work with plays often here. However, some of the staff are incompetent and very intrusive to our jackets. We left our jackets behind the dj booth to avoid collecting/bringing them back every 20-25 mins for a smoke outside and the bouncer has the audicity to touch our personal belongings and take them to the coat check?? We paid coat check twice because he kept bringing them back. My vape was in there and when the bouncer took it to coat check it fell (he was clearly careless with them) but luckily I found it on the ground. This is really uncool — I don’t remember the bouncer/staff going to DJ booth to take customer’s belongings to coat check. Terrible vibe this was.

Charles Morin

Great spot for underground music.

Nicolas Pouliot

great underground vibe. it feels intimate

Amazing low key venue. Great audios

Awwsome club. Went there for an event last weekend. Love it was my second time going and I loved it even more then second time.

Jamal Istiytieh

Attended a concert here, would definitely come back for drinks another time!

One of the best wooden dancing floor in town

Absolutely the best place , to appreciate the music of the amazing talent they bring .

Alfred Laham

Love this venue for special events

Michael Abd El-Malak

Cool vibe and good music!

Howard Tang

Great crowd + bar! Seems to have great bookings for electronic music - had a great time. 4 stars because sound system was good but the acoustics of the room can be better, it's a really long floor and the dancefloor is not seperated from bar area.

Jonathan Venditti

Best club in downtown Montreal. Great sound, lighting, staff and prices.

Johnny Wild

Staff was extremely rude, most notably at the coat check after their credit card machine broke and the woman taking coats cursed at me and my friends for not having sufficient cash to give her an acceptable tip by her standards.
