SirBillybob Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) Last night (Saturday) rather subdued at Stock. Not to cast aspersions … it’s dead of winter and quiet in The Village, but a shadow of the shadow of its former self. Some women present but I don’t know if it was allowed due to mixed-gender grouping out for an evening. I actually did not feel it worthwhile to hang around and decided to go home to a cozy fire and SNL. In Montreal it’s Lights Festival and this week you would be hard-pressed to get a popular BYOB table in the context of recently relaxed pandemic rules. Yet out for a rare high end restaurant meal mid-week with friends and were the only ones seated in a large room. En route home last night stepped into Campus for a drink and half an hour of observation. Much more energy, most seating occupied, roughly 50:50 mixed gender as has been the trend for some time, but not the type of dancer selection that would impel me to hang in. Not too many privates going on, and particularly not with women. The bar itself seems to be doing a reasonably lucrative degree of business on weekends. I had dropped by last Monday 1st day of re-opening and it seemed dead other than what appeared to be a weekday group of loyal patrons socializing and celebrating the turning point. I rarely stay out past 11 so I don’t know how representative my views are. However, I think most strippers roll in by 10. Frankly, I will probably not return prior to going to Zürich in a month and frequenting Paragonya. I am getting quite accustomed to long gaps between play periods.

SirBillybob Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Beginning April 1st entering Canada if vaccinated will not require an antigen or molecular test. You may be subject to a random test on arrival but these are done free. On my last entry many from my flight were subject to a test prior to collecting luggage and final exit although none had boarded without a negative test prior to leaving for Canada. Travellers may want to do a DIY test prior to travel so as not to be caught off guard with a positive test at border control and subject to unplanned quarantine. ArriveCAN is not likely to be revoked. Edited March 18, 2022 by SirBIllybob Sydneysider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkboylover28 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Awesome. I hope that includes driving into Canada from the USA? Still have to fill out ArriveCan , but I read you can also just answer questions directly at the border. The Taboo Facebook page showcasing their recent local dancers doesn't look to appealing for twink lovers. I've seen better street trade on Ste. Catherine.

SirBillybob Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Not going to name club names but last night (Friday) I went over to The Village with very low expectations that were met. The weather was milder and there was considerably more energy in the quartier (I waited in line at Pizza Pizza 25 minutes to merely order a slice!!) but the stripper venues lacked the sexual tension and eye candy that translated to lap candy years ago and offered qualitative value to single senior life. I settled in Montreal, not a city I had lived in prior to retirement that is accompanied by a comfortable play budget, partly due to the appeal of these establishments but it appears now it was a mistake other than a reasonable launch locale for travel elsewhere. This is not to say travel here particularly including sightseeing is not worthwhile. But it used to be Evolve, Monster etc with much better private dance environmental and price point features … gone baby gone.

Writing an explicitly bad review is, I realize now, going to raise hackles among some of the readership. Dancing around it, I also realize, comes across as ambiguous. This sub-component of the forum is basically on life support but perhaps more members here will take the plunge and visit, adding to the breadth of impressions. I used to love going to the Montreal gay strip clubs, beginning in 1976 in fact, and I had additional jobs beyond my main income source to financially support it. Now I don’t enjoy them and the only thing that has changed about me is that I have even more money to spend on erotic entertainment, and that specific entry point into sexual interaction has progressively become about the sole avenue for me as I enter septagenarian status. All the more money for my travel abroad budget. The clubs have transitioned to completely gender-and-orientation neutral patronage and that is good for a subset of the scene stakeholders and likely for sustainability as well. The stripper inventory, as you can imagine, is spread thinly across the various venues and likely subject to reduced prospects of lapdance profits as well. Sorry if it’s tantamount to a hate crime to share one’s subjective take on the current scene, to lament the changes, and fall short of identifying one salutary aspect of a night out at X,Y, Z. YMMV, so just take what I report with a grain of salt. It’s not meant to be a warning to stay away. You are all adults with decision-making autonomy. You can also pony up a few bucks to access stage streaming where available, if desired. That may serve as a surrogate indicator as to whether it’s worthwhile to travel here particularly if you are some distance away. Whether it’s static, deteriorates additionally, or improves, I’ll refrain from weighing in further. At the same time as I may grouse about one element of this kind of entertainment outlet I can adapt and pivot to other sources. Finally, a reader DM’d me to criticize my input and to categorize it as problematic in the same way he considered another member, he also named, to make contributions he opined were similarly lacking in value. What is this … middle school? How immature and inflammatory. I thought we were all adults here. Obviously, I am not reading his lame follow-up.

Luv2play Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) I just came back home from a long weekend in Montreal and for the first time in decades didnt include a visit to Le Village in my weekend itinerary. I had a condo for 13 years in the gay village back in the heyday. Left in 2010 and now I just visit. I used to stay at Le Gouvernor until the pandemic struck and then they closed permanently and reopened as the Hyatt. But I had moved on to a better hotel downtown where I now prefer it as the restaurants are better and shopping also. The Golden Mile is just so much nicer. I spent huge amounts on strippers back in the day but prefer now to hire escorts which the Internet has made so much easier and reliable. And I can take them to nice restaurants in the downtown core. I don't really have to go to gay restaurants to have a good time. In the last few years it has been similar in Toronto where I no longer stay in the gay village area around Church St. and find other restaurants are better outside that area. To me the Internet has changed the gay scene profoundly. Edited March 22, 2022 by Luv2play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl-G Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Hyatt Downtown / Gouverneur The website today says they are accepting reservations for after July 1. Rooms start at $319. (I'm an old fogey and remember when the Gouverneur cost $88 for any room, included breakfast, and you got the 14th night free. I also remember friendly Sebastien and Isabelle at the front desk. I also remember sitting in the lobby in the morning near the elevators and watching fifteen dancers I knew from the clubs get out of the elevators and leave the hotel after overnights. It was a very friendly, active place. I met a couple of members from this board at breakfast, and we became friends and enjoyed the clubs together. The gay waiter, whose name I do not recall, knew all the gay men and introduced those interested. But time moves on. ) + Vegas_Millennial, twinkboylover28, + azdr0710 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a hotel in the Golden Square Mile area for around $250 (OMNI hotel, etc.) Also an AirBnB for much less.
