Great time for Bachelor Party in Montreal!

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

Talk about a great time for a Bachelor Party in Montreal! How could it not be?

Montreal Bachelor Party

With the Montreal Canadiens making a historical run in the playoffs, the streets are so lively and the bars are packed every game night. Whether it’s a weekend getaway to Montreal or a weeklong trip to Montreal, hotel rates are very affordable and the nightlife is booming.

New clubs and bars are popping up every weekend. Montreal Nitelife Travel’s Party Packages are available just as the summer heats up for the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Montreal, the FIFA World Cup and the Jazz Festival!

Montreal Nitelife Travel Highlights #4:

With Spring Break in full effect, Montreal Nitelife Travel just had their biggest Spring Break Party Weekend. We hosted several schools with their Spring Break Party Weekend In Montreal, traveling from Southern Ontario and from Maine. Everything ran smoothly from the scheduled chartered buses to the hotel accommodations and the nightlife/entertainment activities in Montreal!

By adding more staff this weekend, we were also able to handle our steady number of groups traveling to Montreal for Bachelor Parties and Bachelorette Parties. A new package, the PAY-AS-YOU-GO package allows travelers to pick and choose what they want to do while they are here in Montreal, AND which people are involved in certain activities. It’s really helpful to group leaders and the Montreal Nitelife Travel staff!

Montreal Nightlife VIP Agent #1:

“My job was to help out with the go-karting and paintball activities for some of the Canadian spring break students, and of course my usual BP/BPe groups. I had a group of eight down on a Bachelor Party staying at Le Crystal Hotel, a really nice hotel. They had dinner on Friday and hit up some gentleman’s clubs VIP style the rest of the evening. Saturday was Casino and Supperclub night with them enjoying VIP tables at Buona Notte. “

Montreal Nightlife VIP Agent #2:

“I helped out with college students as a central Downtown guide making sure everyone knew where to go shopping, eating and of course nightlife. I had a group of girls in for a Bachelorette Party. They did 281 on Friday and Saturday they did the Spa thing and then went to Globe for dinner. I saw them later on dancing at Rouge. Good times.”

Montreal Nightlife VIP Agent #3 (Mr. Experienced):

“Here’s a first timer for me, I had clients in from Nunavut, which is next north as you can get for Canada.  A few things we didn’t know about Nunavut: no street names, just a number, and the postal codes are similar to Santa’s (H0H 0H0). Nice guys. I also had a group of girls that did 3 dinners, 3 clubs and paintball all through the PAY-AS-YOU-GO package. I also partied with some returning NYC clients during the week. We had dinner at Taverne Dominion and hit up Velvet in the old port. I also escorted them to Sugar Shack by Au Pied De Cochon last week, which was very cool!”

Here we go again!

Montreal Nightlife VIP Agent #1:

“It’s always fun when you get a large Bachelor Party group flying in from Chicago. Two limousines picked up the 12 guys on Thursday afternoon. That night they wanted a little tour guide of Montreal’s downtown, so I hopped in one limo with the Bachelor and the group organizer and showed them around Crescent, Ste-Catherine and Mount-Royal’s lookout. Friday night, they had reservations at Med Bar + Grill for dinner. After dinner they took a limousine up St-Laurent to Solid Gold, and made it back for their bottle reservations (8 in total) at Med for 1 am!

Saturday they wanted to experience some Pubs during the later afternoon. I then met up with them for some entertainment back at the Bachelor Party Headquarters. Limousines picked us up, and brought us to Moomba Supperclub where dinner and 9 bottles of premium liquor were chilling on ice for my Chi-town guys.”

Montreal Nightlife VIP Agent #2:

“I had 5 groups in town, three from Canada (TO, Ottawa & Winnipeg) and another two from North-East US. Friday night, I pretty much went all over downtown catching up with my guests. I hit up Light Ultraclub for VIP guestlist, same at Seven Nightclub, Tonic Club Lounge  and then I checked the biggest group of 9 partygoers who were loving the dance-offs at La Boom!

Saturday, I had two groups come in for one night party weekends with hotel. I met up with the girls Bachelorette Party group at Hotel St-Paul, took them to Garde Manger for dinner and then lots of shooters at Santos Lounge. My other group was on St-Laurent Blvd, having dinner at Buona Notte and bouncing around at the bar/lounges on the Main, including Rouge and Gogo’s. They really wanted to eat Montreal poutine at 3 am… so I brought them to La Banquise … heaven in a bowl!

Montreal Nightlife VIP Agent #3:

“Well, we had a group of hockey people in town for one of the scouts’ Bachelor Party. Friday night, we took them to watch the Montreal Juniors take on the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies at the Verdun Auditorium. Beer was definitely flowing, and once the game ended, we first hit up Burgundy Lion for some single-malts and then over to Chez Parée. Saturday, they went go-karting in the middle-afternoon, set them up for an early dinner at M:BRGR and then to the Bell Centre where the Habs beat the Bruins 3-2 in front of a sellout crowd. After the game, we bar-hopped near the Bell-Centre at Ye Olde Orchard, Hurley’s, Brutopia and just as I thought we were done for the night, we then went to Stogies for some cigars. Great group, great stories and great times at MNT.”

Mtl Nitelife CEO featured in B&G Canada! Pt 2

Friday, March 12th, 2010

Montreal Nitelife Travel’s CEO Angelo D’Ambra was interviewed and featured in Bride & Groom Canada. After ten years in the business, D’Ambra has seen it all and spoke about his experiences with writer Jennifer Cox. Checkout an excerpt from the article in Bride & Groom Canada! Here’s Part 2:

For Him:

Where should the guys take the groom for a night of good, clean fun (mostly)? Where else – Montreal! D’Ambra let us in on one of the biggest shindigs he’s planned for the boys. “We organized a bachelor party that was memorable because of the sheer size – it was a group of grad students from an Ivy League school in the States. There were 14 bachelor parties in one with a total of 54 people on one bus for a one-night affair in Montreal,” he says. “We booked an entire restaurant and then a strip club for them, they went to the casino, it ended at six in the morning, and they drove back.”

Dinner at a cool restaurant like Milsa and then bar-hopping on St. Laurent or Crescent is the tried-and-true guys’ night out, but grooms and groomsmen are more willing to think (way) outside the box. “Some guys are really into extreme sports – they like combat, so there are combat-karate classes. Skydiving is also something completely out-of-the-ordinary and it’s sort of a rite of passage,” D’Ambra says. “You can also go white-water rafting. And then there are gun ranges and skeet shooting.”

Montreal Weekend Highlights #2

Looks like we’re gonna keep the Montreal Nitelife Travel Weekend Highlights!

mtl_nitelife

With the steady emergence of Montreal Nitelife Travel’s Trip Builder, we are able to keep our Montreal Nitelife Travel guests super happy. Our Trip Builder allows partygoers to select all the options they want in their package when taking a trip to Montreal. At the same time, they can remove certain items in order to budget for everyone!

Montreal Nightlife VIP Agent #1:

“OK, I had three groups in town. Two were pretty much taken care as they had major Montreal daytime activities and had simple-planned evening including dinner at Montreal’s supperclubs and bottle service after dinner.

Now my third group was a bunch of ALL-STARS. Met them at the lobby bar at The W Hotel. We did an INSTANT round of shots to help kick off the party weekend. They wanted the bar scene, so we headed over to Crescent Street and hit up Happy Hour at Newtown and Thursday’s. The evening turned into clubbing time quickly and they walked over to Light Ultra Club to finish off the nite with VIP entrance, guestlist and table reservation. Saturday they had dinner at Queue De Cheval, walked over to Wanda’s and then hit up St-Laurent Blvd for some Montreal Nightlife action at Ivy Nightclub and Le Rouge Bar. Sunday, they wanted to see the Plateau so went for coffee at Café Olympico and stuck around til lunch at the one and only, Schwartz’s Delicatassen. Awesome group.”

Montreal Nightlife VIP Agent #2:

Hey Hey, so I had four groups to take care of. Two groups were booked on the couples’ escape and only required my meet-n-greet on Friday evening. One couple was staying in Old Montreal at Hotel Place D’Armes, so most of their planned events/outings were in the Old Montreal area, including dinner at Gibby’s steakhouse and then checked out the Highlights Festival at the Quays of the Old Port. The other couples’ group (two couples) were staying at the Hilton Bonaventure, went for dinner at Milos on Friday, and I escorted them to La Croissanterie Figaro on Saturday Morning (I learned about this place through a cute girl I used to date and she worked there part time… I think every waitress ever hired has to be like movie-cute… because they all are). Saturday they checked out the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

My party groups hit up Milsa on Bishop, the bars below Ste-Catherine on Crescent such as Hurley’s and Brutopia and then took a gorgeous SUV stretch limousine to the Casino of Montreal. I also had one bachelor party take over the VIP section of Club SuperSexe with more bottles and ladies than in the rest of the club!”

Montreal Nitelife VIP Agent #3 (Mr. Experienced):

“Have you ever been to the Scandinave Spa up at Mont Tremblant? How about trying to tie that into a Montreal Party Weekend package? Wow, I sure didn’t think I could have them up there all of Saturday and back in downtown Montreal for the Olympic Gold Medal hockey game. Absolutely no problems whatsoever. Friday we went to dinner at Garde Manger and then had bottles at Santos Lounge. Saturday morning they somehow woke up on time and we brought them sandwiches from Olive & Gourmando. SUV rentals up to Mont Tremblant where they ski’d with afternoon passes and hit up the spa in the evening. Now that’s what I call hitting up Montreal with class and style!

Montreal Nitelife’s Weekend Review!

Montreal Nitelife Travel Weekend Highlights:

pw_shot1

Hey everybody!

Hope you had a wicked mid-February weekend.

Montreal Nitelife Travel was kicking it all over Montreal for a BIG PARTY WEEKEND:

Montreal Nitelife VIP Agent #1:

“I had several groups in town, and we partied with them at several venues. For my Montreal Bachelor Party group “FEB20”, our guests were staying at the Quality Hotel, had a large group dinner at Firegrill (with our VIP reservation & discount package).

The highlight of our night was the VIP treatment at Chez Parée and no lineup access at Light Ultraclub, where we had bottle service setup and ready for us by the time we were escorted to our table area.

Clients were extremely happy. My other two groups were happy too. A flawless party weekend!”

Montreal Nitelife VIP Agent #2:

“My largest group of 12 (seven girls, five guys) took some serious planning. Two birthday celebrations for this Montreal Party Weekend group “FEB19/20”, so we had two nights to make it rain. Friday night we went to Tonic Club Lounge, threw it down big time… Bottle service in the VIP booth and no lineup access for all 12 Montreal Nitelife partygoers.

On Saturday during the day, I had the guys bar-hopping on Crescent and Bishop Street to watch the Olympics while the girls went shopping with out Underground City discount cards.

They had dinner all together at Cibo & Vino on Saturday night with discount and reservations, and then I took them over to Ivy Nightclub on St-Laurent Boulevard where the remainder of the night is a blur! The tab would have been massive, but Montreal Nitelife hooked them up. Had they gone on their own, I doubt they would have had the same Montreal VIP treatment and service. Great group, lovely clients. Dinner at C&V was my highlight.”

Montreal Nitelife VIP Agent #3 (Mr. Experienced):

Friday I setup some skiing and snowboarding at Mont-Saint Sauveur with lift tickets and discount Montreal/Saint-Sauveur transportation. I had everyone back at the Westin Hotel (group of 8 NYCers, mid 20s professionals) wayyyy before midnight, and then I took them to dinner on St-Laurent at Globe, where some stayed the entire night, others strolled on up to Rouge and Koi Lounge. We ended the night at A Gogo’s Lounge. Perfect St-Laurent Blvd night.

Saturday night, my other group had dinner at BU wine bar, then hit up Macaroni Bar with bottle service and no lineup access. At 1:30 am, I swung by The W lounge to checkup on another group who were staying at the W hotel. Everything was perfect there, so I ended my night at Time Supperclub, where I partied with another Montreal Nightlife VIP Host and her group of nine girls from Toronto. They were money, so much fun.”

And that’s what a call A Perfect Montreal Nightlife Experience!

Vinizza storms onto the scene

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

vinizza

Have you been to Vinizza yet? If not, hurry up. Not that it’s going anywhere, but this new Italian eatery is gaining great reviews about their stunning pizzas and homemade pasta dishes. Especially considering nothing on their menu is over $20.

I’m going to go ahead and support their Parma pizza with some of the best prosciutto I’ve had on this side of the Atlantic Ocean. And for pastas, you MUST try the tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms.

Did you say polenta or was that baccala (fried or served cold with potato)? The hole in my stomach is growing with every sentence. Located at 150 Jean-Talon East (outskirts of Little Italy) on the corner of casgrain. Reservations are not required, but definitely suggested.

In case you were looking for Opus Hotel, Koko Restaurant or Suco Lounge!

Monday, August 31st, 2009

KOKO RESTAURANT + BAR:

You can’t go wrong when thinking about the way you “feel” when throwing it down or just relaxing at Koko. The high ceilings, dazzling chandeliers and spacious terrace give St-Laurent a whole new dimension.

Located in the modern yet historically inclined Opus Hotel, Koko’s contemporary Asian-inspired dishes are great for sharing amongst a couple or a large group. The scene gets busy post-dinner and really busy right around midnight. An elite crowd in a gorgeous venue, Koko is definitely a great choice. Corner of Saint Laurent at 8 Sherbrooke West.

suco_lounge

SUCO LOUNGE

Just south of Sherbrooke on St-Laurent, you’ll find Suco Lounge with ease, as its unique design has drawn attention all over the Main of Montreal.

Suco is in the Opus boutique hotel and lures in a crowd looking for an easy time in a modern and hip way. The garden terrace brings a necessary element to Suco, which also includes respectable DJs, a big marble bar and an enticing tapas menu. Busy during the week… located at 2108 Boulevard Saint Laurent.

 

Welcome to Montreal!

There’s no better way of describing Montreal than as the finest Canadian city to visit.

The seams all seem to fit perfectly, from the beautiful people to the bumpin’ nightlife all the way back to the trendsetting shopping; Montreal creates a buzz of excitement at any time of the day. 

Let’s just say that Montreal sure lives up to its international reputation as the party capital of Canada.

The density of restaurants, bars, pubs, nightclubs, after-hours clubs, stores, hotels, famous sightseeing spots and infamous strip clubs makes Canada’s party capital the undisputed best choice for a metropolitan weekend-getaway.
