Along Saint Laurent Street, it’s easy to situate yourself between various clubs and bars geared towards the young hipster crowds who are looking for the same old drink and D.A.N.C.E. However, hidden away in all its originality is Coda Club; a nascent, unique addition to the expressive Montrealer’s socializing spectrum.
 Well aware that word of mouth is the hottest PR tactic in the world of club openings, there is little info on the radar about the new venue, which is largely due to the owner’s M.I.A. status among the various media outlets. Of course, among hipsters and music lovers alike, Coda is a shared secret in which they can indulge and assert (read: judge) each other’s cool quotient.
The club’s modern style is spacious and relaxed, with a large, well-lit bar that is easily complemented by a myriad of mixed cocktails at starving artist-friendly prices. Comfortable black rectangle booths line the walls , which allows large groups of people to socialize freely. The space also boasts a DJ booth and enough space to lay out a large stage. Coda can hold roughly 150 attendees to comfortably enjoy local musical talents, various cultural events, art shows or weekly dance groups.
It is rare nowadays that you will find a “members only” club around Montreal (surprising considering the province’s separatist inclinations), but for a low price of $25, individuals can register for a membership and create their own weekly or monthly gatherings as they see fit. Unlike most clubs in Montreal, Coda Club’s intention is to differentiate itself from other socializing spaces by focusing on the individual, and how that can be reflected within the club’s space. The expected audience at Coda Club is anyone with an idea, self-expression, personality or just looking for a fun night (or day) out.
Already hosting various kick-ass concerts for Pop Montreal (featuring the likes of DJ Masala, Filastine, Mega Bo and others) and holding a weekly Tuesday night tango club, Coda Club’s grand opening is happening Friday October 12th, featuring Stretch Armstrong and other local musical talents.

Some of the workers are nice - some had attitude. One employee there came to me at the end of the night and apologized for the rest of his coworkers, acknowledging that they're always like that.

Erin is by far the best waitress I have ever been served by....mad props. We were there for a friends birthday, took a booth (with bottle), and she was always making sure we had enough of everything. The chick is 5foot, short as hell, worked solo on 5 booths, and didnt miss a beat.
All in all, from security to the other people at the club, great vibe, super friendly, hottest chicks, good prices.

We had an amazing time at Coda! The atmosphere, the service, the music and the drinks were awesome! The bartender made us really creative drinks and they were exactly what we wanted.
