Photo of New City Gas, a Nightlife in Griffintown

New City Gas is as much a spectacle as it is a venue. Housed in a massive 19th-century industrial complex in Griffintown, this converted coal-to-gas plant now fuels Montréal’s nightlife with high-energy EDM shows, sprawling open-air terraces, and an atmosphere that blends history with excess. Inside, the multi-level space holds up to 2,000 people, regularly hosting global heavyweights like Tiësto and David Guetta, while outside, Bazart transforms the grounds into a Mediterranean-inspired bar, restaurant, and NFT gallery. The venue doesn’t just cater to club nights—its versatile event spaces, high-tech staging, and mezzanine cocktail hall make it a go-to for large-scale productions.
