FunkyTown
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
1454A, rue Peel, Montréal  H3A 1S8 • 514-282-8387
Distance: ~425 m *
        Description: Get out your platform shoes and polyester threads, this is more than just a blast from the past. FunkyTown offers those nostalgic for the sexy seventies a feast for the eyes and the ears. With walls draped in velvet, a dance platform that glows in checkerboard brights and the can't-do-without sparkling mirrorball overhead, dancers can groove to the musical stylings of the era, or on Thursdays the weekly homage to the sounds of French pop from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Don't miss Martin Stevens reprising his hit Love is in the Air every Friday and Saturday.

1234 Club
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
1234, rue de la Montagne, Montréal  H3G 1Z1 • 514-395-1111
Distance: ~0.531 km *
        Description: OK, historic specifics out of the way first: 1234 is housed in a wonderful 17th-century greystone building that is reportedly haunted. The gargoyles and stained glass are intact, although various improvements have been made over the years. Today, the space is a dance club, owned by a group of savvy young industry types that includes celebrated DJ MC Mario. The interior has been completely revamped and is stunning, the music is a good mix of exquisitely danceable stuff, and the line-ups out front became legendary almost as soon as the place opened.

Sir Winston Churchill Pub Complex
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
1459, rue Crescent, Montréal  H3G 2B2 • 514-288-3814
Distance: ~0.684 km *
        Description: This complex has been a mainstay on Crescent Street since 1967, and helped usher in the nightlife for which the area has become famous.

In the pub, enjoy a game of pool or darts and a pint of your favorite beer, a pitcher of sangria or a cocktail. If it's food you're after, try Winnies Bar and Restaurant, where you'll find a great selection of traditional and international fare (the same menu is offered in the pub). Finally, there's Karina, a sleek space where world class DJs keep the grooves coming into the wee hours.

Tokyo Bar
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
3709 St Laurent, Montreal  H2X2V7 • 514-842-6838
Distance: ~1.714 km *
        Description: Cozy and popular, Tokyo has two separate spaces, so whether you feel like chilling out with friends or dancing up a storm, you can do it here. DJs and occasional live bands liven up one space, but the lounge and two rooftop terraces provide ample room to escape to a less manic scene if the mood strikes you. Eclectic, creative martinis are the drink of choice.
