Café Chaos
This down 'n' dirty basement bar is just the place to catch the latest up-and-coming bands for a pittance in cover. Tuesdays there are two-for-one microbrews and turntable action with 80s glam rock, old pop classics and a pinch of punk. The bar is a workers' co-op that's definitely worth its weight in bong water. The downstairs Bar les Conneries runs a Wednesday oldies evening and hosts a variety of its own rock acts.

Main Hall
You'll find a mix of everything here from rock bands to world music. Check the local free entertainment guides around town to see what's coming up. You can usually buy tickets at the door (generally around C$10) when the doors open at around 21:00, but the entertainment guides will also mention which secondhand music shops or other venues you may be able to buy them from.

The Wheel
Hosted by bluegrass star Bob Fuller, Hillbilly Night has been going strong for more than 40 years. Monday nights, this members-only NDG dart club is open to anyone hankering for some old-time bluegrass, cowboy and fiddle music. Montréal isn’t exactly a cowboy capital, but local heroes are full of smiles and authenticity. Yeehaw!

Piknic Électronik
A large metal sculpture, L’Homme (Humankind), was created by American artist Alexander Calder for Expo ’67. It’s also here, near the sculpture, that the fantastic Piknic Électronik takes place. DJs spin techno and electronic music while you can dance or lounge on the grass.

Exit
Exit is one of those clubs where what's exciting is the people who fill it and not the space itself. This house and R&B mainstay doesn't look like much on the inside with its sparce interior, but when the star DJs show up this place is packed - it's one of the best nightclubs around.

Bell Centre
When it’s not hosting matches of the city’s beloved Montréal Canadiens hockey team, this 21,000-seat arena in downtown hosts all the big concerts. The likes of U2 and Céline Dion usually end up here when they’re in town.
