They have strip clubs in Spain? Or are you talking about the saunas in Barcelona?

I was in Barcelona and Sitges and didn't see any strip clubs at all ...Montreal was in a league by itself pre-Covid, today not so much.

Any reports on how Campus and Stock Bar were this past Canadian holiday weekend?

This was Victoria Day weekend in Canada. But, if Bozo recalls correctly, Victoria Day is not a big deal in Montreal. Bozo doesn't recall any special events going on to honor the former Queen.
Perhaps our Canadian COM members can chime in?

Here in La Belle Province it’s renamed National Patriots’ Day (translated) since about 2003; beginning in the 1920s by yet another francophone name but corresponding by date to Canada’s Victoria Day, for long weekend uniformity.

The point being counter-colonial. Elsewhere one doesn’t tend to see lace doilies perched on heads, but to confuse matters more O Canada was sung in Buffalo.

I like my lace doilies on dancers' privee parts.

Bumping, original question. Thanks!

I read John of John instead, a few blocks away in my recliner. Recent visits have not exactly spurred enthusiasm. Whether I yelp those impressions, or had occasion to report on the past long weekend, there are too many variables for any kind of hive-mind consensus. Anyone who attended can offer anecdote; the leap from that to actionable intel is where I lose the plot. I can only influence myself. 

Here’s a tip, though. “How was it?”, for a very narrow band of time, is very abstract. I suggest simply reminding readers that you are keen to follow reports of the venues at any time and with as much detail as customers can offer.

Besides that, be aware that folks are more naturally reluctant to materialize in these threads with a view to dimming the forecast based on subjective club experience. That I return periodically is underpinned by episodic satisfaction and fond memories of 2003 to 2008. But there’s a new quality reference standard and it’s not in town.
