The Village offers Montreal culture with its own twist

Parc L'espoir / Hope Park

Ste-Catherine E.

Seventeen years ago, in an empty lot on Rue Ste Catherine, gay activists erected a memorial to all those who have died from HIV/AIDS. After years of battling with the municipal government, the area was finally officially designated as a park. Although the monument itself is a somber reminder, on warm summer days there is quite a large congregation of Villagers and tourists who have found a perfect place to bask in the sun.


 

Beaudry Metro

1255 Ste-Catherine E.

Beaudry Metro was originally designed by Adalbert Niklewicz in 1966. It is the gateway into the Village, and there is even talk of it changing its name from Beaudry to Beaudry-Village. What makes it an important attraction is that in 1999, the city commissioned several designers to create a large new glass enclosure over the entrance. Part of this included huge rainbow-colored pillars at the entrance. The new design is a monument to our supportive municipal government.


 

Club Date

1218 Ste-Catherine E.

There’s something about gay karaoke that keeps bringing people back. People from all over Montreal come to experience the Village’s special brand of microphone talents. A mixed crowd filled with devout regulars and long standing staff, it is the best place to grab a pitcher and show off your talents or just embarrass your friends. Open and singing every day of the week, it is best to reserve a table close to the stage if you’re coming with a group.
