Chez Dagobert
Multi-floors, multi-bars, multi-screens - the captial's classic disco behemoth with everything from live rock to naughty DJs. The music may change, the young, randy crowd stays the same.
-
L'Alterno
Regulars kept telling former Le Drague employee Benoît they wished there was another gay club in town to shake up the scene a little so finally he just went ahead and opened one, tucked away just inside Porte St-Jean. It's low-key during the day with people playing billiards or babyfoot, while it gets wilder at night after once the DJs come out. It's easy to miss this place - look for the pride flag and go up the stairs.

L'Amour Sorcier
The tamer atmosphere at this café-bar is mainly enjoyed by lesbians, but gay men are welcome too. The gay community may be small in Québec City but the lesbian one is even smaller and this is the only horse in town.
-
L'Inox
In the Old Port area, a hop, skip and a jump from the docks, this brewpub draws beer lovers to its pleasant outdoor patio where they slake their lager-starved thirsts.
-
L'Oncle Antoine
Set clandestinely in the stone cave-cellar of one of the city's oldest surviving houses (dating from 1754), this great tavern pours out excellent Québec microbrews (try the Barberie Noir stout or the strong Belgian-style Fin du Monde), several drafts ( en fût ) and various European beers.

Le Drague
Star player in a tiny gay scene, Le Drague is made up of several sections: a front outdoor terrace with bar; Zone 1, a two-level disco inside where drag shows are held; Zone 2, a laid-back space set up like a tavern; and then there's Base 3. The men-only Base 3 is...ummm... Let's just say it turns the capital's conservative reputation on its head and has seen-it-all, done-it-all Montrealers saying 'I didn't know they had that in Québec City.'

Le Sacrilège
It's been around for over 10 years, but this watering hole has taken off in a big way recently and night owls start or end their revelry here most weekends. Even on Monday night, when neighboring bars are empty, it's standing room only at this one. There's a popular terrace out back - get to it through the bar or the tiny brick alley next door. To find Le Sacrilège look for the sign with a laughing, dancing monk saucily flashing his knickers.
-
Les Salons d'Edgar
The unofficial 'official' hangout for the city's theater community, the eavesdropping here is as much fun as the drinking - you'll be privy to conversations on roles lost, roles gained, and can watch new graduates from the drama conservatory mingling awkwardly to build their networks.
-
Maurice
Set up in a gutted château-like mansion and cheekily named after hard-ass former Québec premier Maurice Duplessis, this entertainment complex has three separate partying spaces. There's a nightclub where DJs play Latin music on Wednesdays and music from the 80s and 90s on Friday for young things. There's a cigar lounge with 200 sorts to choose from. The 30-plus Charlotte UltraLounge has had major renovations of late, check out the plush new digs.
-
Turf
Come in, grab a bowl and walk to the enormous peanut-filled barrel in the middle of the room. Swipe your fill from the barrel and settle in at one of the most popular pubs in the St-Jean-Baptiste neighborhood. Wi-fi is also available if you want to work or surf while you drink. Burgers and pizzas are also on the menu to cushion the blows. Hugely popular with everyone in the 18- to 25-year-old range from the students to the suits.
