Montreal - last minute updates?

I was in Montreal this weekend and paid a visit to Campus Friday evening after many years absence. Arrived around 8:30 and left at 10. There were over a dozen dancers and more came in for the 9 shift and a few might have left. They were all great looking, most my type, muscular but not muscle bound. Nice slim waists and medium height to taller. 

All friendly; I took a dance with Matt, who told me he has worked there for a number of years. Still seemed young. A hockey player, works in a factory and very good looking. I talked with a few others, Matthew and Alexandre, both nice looking and not aggresive. I didn't lead them on since Matt was enough to satisfy my lust lol.

I had had a workout with an escort in the afternoon so kept the number of dances to 3 with Matt. There is no cover on the door of each cabin so not like the old days when one could have a lot of fun.

About the women, there were only a few, maybe 3, when I arrived but they started piling in around 9:30. When I left at 10 there were 6 waiting to pay the cover $8. to come in. All very plain looking.

I didn't see woman taking a dancer to the back and I was sitting near the entrance to the private booths just beside the dj. Overall a very enjoyable experience for what it was. But for me I get more bang for my buck with escorts.

Had two wonderful ones for the weekend.

Oh and the weather was great, especially Saturday. Sunny and almost 20c. People were in shorts.

The cabin area on the left with an automatic door is only for men. Women can only have lap dances in the semi-open area on the right where privacy is close to none. I guess the owners probably want to prevent dancers from having sex with the female patrons (which could lead to a chain of legal issues as you might imagine).

I actually don't have to imagine. In the day, that is 20 odd years ago, having sex with the dancers in the cabins was pretty routine, at least for me and some others I knew. They had either swing doors or curtains then and some dancers were willing to go all the way. And I mean all the way. 

Of course the management tried to curtail it and dancers were suspended for two weeks if caught. There were no reprisals for the clients. Once I was caught giving head to a dancer whose real name was Louis, and he was suspended on the spot. I took him home and compensated him well.

We also had a few more dates during his suspension as I felt somwhat conplicite in his predicament. I still have pics on my computer of his magnificent dick and ass.

One last comment on Montreal's Village. I had dinner on Friday night at Saloon and it was as lively as ever.  I had heard it was taken over by new owners during the pandemic. The new ones have kept all the features that made it popular.   

The waiters are are dressed in black, which is very becoming. The food was good (I had black Angus steak done medium rare). The place was fairly crowded but no waiting lines for tables (around 8pm).

And a drag queen came in and entertained the diners in a nice way, just pranced around to the dj's music (you could see him in his booth spinning the vinyl).

A very nice way to while away a couple of hours.

This is not dancer related but related to my trip to Montreal this weekend. When I left the hotel and picked up my car in the underground parking at the Hyatt in the Village, I had a flat rear tire. On a Sunday morning. You can imagine my consternation! 

Luckily I had thrown a can of instant repair and inflation in the trunk years ago(my Mercedes is 23 years old) but had never had occasion to use it. So I tried it and it worked, just as described on the can. It was good enough to get to a gas station which had a air pump so I topped it up.

I was able to drive home 120 miles at 60mph ( I didn't want to press my luck) and put the car in my garage. I only lost 20 minutes in my travel time from hotel to home. What a life saver that little can was! If you drive a lot, get one.

Don't you have AAA in Canada? Here they show up in 15 minutes anywhere. Why you have a spare. Be prepared for a lecture from your tire repair man and big extra fees. Maybe new tires. That stuff is a mess. Hope it worked out ok.

We have CAA.  I believe they have reciprocal arrangements so you can use the other's services while travelling.

Well I considered all my options when I discovered on a Sunday morning I had a flat in an underground garage in a place 2 hours from home in a different province. Having two older cars I am a premium member of CAA.

When I checked my spare it was flat. Then I saw the can of sealant -inflator. So I tried it and it worked. Voila. Problem solved.

From prior experience, no garages will repair tires on a Sunday. Their facilities are closed. I have used CAA quite a few times with the multiple cars I have owned over the years. 4 years ago my Cadillac XTR engine blew in a town not too far away. I called CAA and they towed me home to my car dealership. No charge to me. 

I had the choice of either staying in Montreal another night with a $500 cost of hotel and dinner and breakfast and a free tow to a garage. A half day delay in getting repairs or maybe inflating the spare but wasn't sure how good it was and whether it would hold pressure for a 2 hour drive at highway speeds. 

My premium membership means I can get a tow interprovincial but I know from experience when I had an antique car I purchased in Quebec closer than Montreal is to my home, the towing charge was $650 and that was 12 years ago. They need to be licenced to operate in both provinces and the whole operation takes half a day to and from since they can't pick up another customer after me.

So yes, I am 76 and have been driving over 50 years and have tons of stories of adventures on rhe road. They all ended well, thank God.😀 This one did too, all for a cost of a 16$ can of repair and a 20 minute delay.  The tire was old and will be replaced in the spring as I am about to store the Mercedes for the winter. Hope I didn't bore you.😉

Glad the sealant worked and didn't ruin any expensive tire. If there's a third thing certain in life besides death and taxes it's that a car will have troubles at the least convenient time. The automobile gods have a way of knowing. Having AAA just come take care of it all asap is nice. And please get that spare fixed.

There is a BIG BEEFY Blonde boy at Campus. Mathieu. Hot on the stage and amazing in the back.

Oh, Mathieu. I guess we’re talking about the same guy – blond hair, blue eyes, always wearing a baseball cap, and he’s well-endowed. He looked stunning; I saw him every day I was in Montreal. I wish his English was better when I took him out to eat.

I owe a strippers bar report, but it wasn’t anything special. Campus was a blast as always, and I spent about 30 minutes at Stock Bar every day. I saw the same four dancers on the stage, not too many walking around. Now that I’m thinking about it, that was odd. I think Stock wants to expand its clientele. There were a lot of women and videos of women lap dancing on the screens, but I didn’t see any women dancing in person.

So, I gave up on Stock and focused on Campus. It was a moment where you had to wait for a room to take your boy. I find taking a hot boy to a back room so thrilling  😜😜😜It was really hot 🔥🔥🔥.

It was a fire at Sauna G.I. Joe building 😳😳

[Luv2play]

I visited GIJoes Sauna only once or twice even though I lived around the corner. I preferred the Oasis at the time. But I do remember on my visit there a guy getting fucked on the bar doggy style. A few of us were sitting on bar stools just watching the action a foot away from our eyes.

That was 20 years ago. Don't know if such hanky panky still happens.

wow, If I lived  around that area I won’t be able to function, every night chasing strippers    
I've never been lucky in such places, and my type doesn't tend to frequent them. 

I've been to both saunas, but I hope everything is okay. My friend told me it was the building, but I'm not sure if it reached the sauna since G.I. Joe is 4th floor in 

I wish there were proper saunas with a steam room, whirlpool, and a bar on the East Coast, like the ones in Europe. That would make it more fun. I guess that's why we see so many people walking nonstop in the bathhouses. If it had a bar, I bet it would be more enjoyable.

I think that's true. Europe has much better men's saunas imo. The ones here in North America are more centred on sex. The ones in Europe and Sourh America (haven't visited the ones in Asia) have sex but also more entertainment so that one can relax and enjoy other aspects of the experience.

I did enjoy spending a half day on Sundays at a sauna in Miami years ago in Coral Gables. Great entertainment including live sex shows with recognized porn stars. I imagine long gone.

What is it with fires in Montreal?  

There was a fire at Club Unity many years ago, that led to the temporary closure and refurbishment of Stock.  

Stereo nightclub had a fire due to an arson attack and was then subject to another arson attack before it was due to reopen.

I've seen reports of arson attacks elsewhere in Montreal that are alleged to be linked to organised crime.

You're asking if "hanky panky" still happens at a bath house?

Hey folks,

Appreciate the Montreal coverage. I am reaching out because some of you mentioned hiring and I wondered if you might recommend? (Feel free to dm)

I am heading to Montreal this week for the first time in years and hoped to fill my time with boys. I imagine my favorites at Campus and Stock are gone but looking for new ones lol.

Be sure to visit the "Gay Village"

Expose has just announced on their Facebook page that they will be changing their name to Red Diamond.  They have also removed the elevated stage and replaced it with chairs.  They are trying to be a mix of a dance club/occasional dancer , upstairs privates will still be available.  Not sure how this will work out.

Hello,

Would appreciate if someone could share info on the norm at strip clubs like Campus and Stock.

If dancers come over to chat to you, do they expect a tip? What is the general cost of a private dance?

I have been to a strip club in Mexico and it was like a lamb walking to slaughter. So many guys coming over + their friends, all expecting tips, all expecting you to buy them drinks at hyper inflated prices….

Just wondering if Montreal scene is similar to this at all?

Thank you.

120 miles.... Hummm. Me think 0ttawa

I have good friend here in Montreal in the police. He tells me that most of the street gay beatings at 4 am are by hetero dancers at Campus.

He just got back from an international Police convention in San Diego and it turns out that this is very common, especially in the US.

So you know, giving money to straight muscle guys who hate f..gs, we'll trash talk you backstage, and might beat you up at 4:00 a.m.

Just saying

Montreal and Quebec in general have some of the most pro tenant laws in North America, so it’s difficult for landlords to clear out tenants even if they are delinquent in rent. Some of the clubs (straight and cabaret as well) in Montreal occupy prime downtown real estate but tenants are paying rents locked in 20-30 years ago. So there are allegations …

Comparing my first gay strip club experiences in Montreal (2015) to Puerto Vallarta (2017):

Tipping/Drinks:  Puerto Vallarta clubs typically have more dancers and can be overwhelming for a new patron, especially at slower times when dancers outnumber customers.  In Puerto Vallarta and most of the United States, expect to tip a dancer you like while he's performing or when he comes around to you to engage in conversation.  That is, tip him or buy him a drink if you want to see him stay with you and come back to you after he performs.  In Montreal, tipping a performer on stage or when he stops by to talk to you is less common.  I think it's because they don't have bills in low denomination, and it is awkward to put a 1 or 2 dollar coin down the dancer's underwear!

Prices for private dance:  Puerto Vallarta prices are much lower than Canada or the United States.  In Puerto Vallarta, you typically pay for a private dance in advance (500 pesos for 10 minutes) and then tip at the end if you wish.  In Montreal, you pay the dancer 20 Canadian dollars per song (3 minutes) at the end of your session.  At most places in the United States it is 20 United States dollars per song (3 minutes).  This can add up really quickly because it is not always easy to listen to when one song ends and another begins.  Be sure to tell your dancer upfront to stop after XX many songs, to avoid paying more than you wanted.  Don't expect to see much in the first 2 songs.  Around song 3 is when most dancers start getting more sensual.

Enjoy!

Just making up nonsense to scare people huh?

Also anyone who has been to a strip club knows the majority of guys have their bags packed and headed out before last call is even announced. No dancers are hanging out outside at 4 am looking to beat up people.
