A Village fixture on Sainte-Catherine Est, Le Date treats karaoke less like a bar gimmick and more like the main event. The song bank runs over 70,000 deep, spanning Céline and Brel to Radiohead and Taylor Swift, and you can submit your request online before you've even left the house, which says something about how seriously regulars take their turn. The room rewards that commitment: proper sound and lighting, a crowd that's equal parts performers and willing audience, and a drinks list that covers everything from pitchers of draft to bottle service and sangria by the pichet. The signature move, though, is the video service. With your go-ahead, performances are recorded in HD for you to download and share, so your rendition can outlive the night. Friendly, busy, and built for singers who mean it.
