Venue Detail
Le Date Karaoke
About this venue
Le Date Karaoke is the crown jewel of the Gay Village where karaoke isn't just a casual bar gimmick—it is a full-blown competitive sport and a campy rite of passage. If you have ever wanted to belt out Céline Dion or disco anthems in front of the most supportive, beautifully chaotic queer crowd in Montreal, this is your stage. 🎤 The VibeHigh-key main character energy. Le Date is an iconic, friendly piano-and-karaoke bar that has been anchoring Sainte-Catherine Est with pure joy and zero pretense. The room boasts a professional sound system, a music vault loaded with over 70,000 tracks, and slick stage lighting that makes everyone look like a superstar. What truly sets it apart is its unique, tech-forward flex: it is the only karaoke bar in North America that records your performance in high-definition MP4 video. You can download your set right to your phone to prove to your group chat that you absolutely crushed it. Grab a pitcher of sangria, cheer on the local drag icons, and prepare for a room full of strangers to turn into your ultimate hype team.

Venue intelligence
Know before you go
Typical queue
Le Date Karaoke can build a proper entry line when the main crowd lands. Arrive before peak time instead of joining the latest rush.
Best night
An advertised show, DJ or community night is the best reason to visit Le Date Karaoke; on ordinary nights, early evening is the easier social window.
Locals vs visitors
Le Date Karaoke feels local first—a broadly queer crowd, lesbian and sapphic guests, and trans and non-binary guests, familiar faces and neighbourhood regulars. Bigger events broaden the room, but it is not built as a tourist-only stop.
Dress code in practice
Polished casual suits Le Date Karaoke: intentional enough for cocktails, still relaxed enough for a long night at the bar.
Staff inclusion
Le Date Karaoke's queer identity is built into the room or programme, so LGBTQ+ guests are the intended community rather than an afterthought.
