Montreal, Québec
Queer Montréal dive bar with bowling lanes, NYC-style pizza, and nightly drag and karaoke.
Bar Notre-Dame-Des-Quilles (NDQ) is a narrow, unpretentious queer dive bar situated on Rue Beaubien between the Mile End and Little Italy neighborhoods. The layout includes two mini-bowling lanes in the rear of the room and an adjacent New York-style pizza counter. The bar features a craft cocktail list alongside rotating nighttime programming that includes karaoke, drag shows, dance parties, and resident DJ sets covering funk, goth, and disco. The crowd primarily skews toward local young artists, students, and neighborhood regulars.
