Bar le Ritz PDB
From Jean-Talon it looks like a nondescript hole in the wall, but inside it's kaleidoscopic with a swinging chandelier, and the booking instinct is uncanny — countless acts played here early. Beyond the live shows, the Super Taste DJ team runs throwback and pop dance parties on non-show weekends. It's up in Parc-Extension, worth the trip up the Main for both the gigs and the parties.
A plain-brick exterior hiding a colourful, chandelier-lit room — indie, hip-hop, and electro shows, plus the Super Taste throwback dance nights on weekends.
