No singing fat ladies in this one: Billed as "Montreal's first superclub," Club Opera manages to pack people in on a regular basis within its large yet stylish and elegant interior. As one of the biggest clubs in downtown Montreal, Opera plays host to some great events and concerts, and is an ideal place to burn through your paycheque with friends. The club's decor is Mediterranean style, which is kind of humorous to walk into and out of during a -30 degree Montreal winter night. Although the dance floor is spacious, other areas in the club are dominated by booths and a few badly placed bars, which can make moving around a little difficult at times. This is especially true during concerts, where the manager's bad habit of over packing the club led police to pull the plug on a David Guetta show earlier this year. Aside from this snag, the booths themselves are great and the service is excellent, making Opera a top spot for a group of friends to chill out in the VIP, people watch and listen to some great music.
