Café Campus is a live music venue and nightclub at 57 Rue Prince-Arthur E, in the Plateau-Mont-Royal neighbourhood of Montreal, Canada. It hosts concerts, DJ nights and cultural events, and it has long been part of the city's nightlife and music scene.
What to expect
Most visitors come for a show or a club night. The programme leans toward live performance and dance music, so the atmosphere is typically that of a music club rather than a quiet café, despite the name. If you are planning a visit, check the current listings before you go, since the lineup changes from one event to the next.
The neighbourhood
The Plateau-Mont-Royal is one of Montreal's most walkable districts, with its streets of restaurants, cafés and independent shops. Combining a late evening at the venue with a meal or drink nearby is a natural way to spend the night. The area is also well placed for exploring the rest of the city on foot or by public transit.
Is it worth the visit?
If you enjoy live music or dance nights and want to experience the local scene as residents do, Café Campus is a good choice. It suits travellers who prefer an evening out with music over sightseeing, and those who want a glimpse of Montreal's nightlife in a neighbourhood with plenty to see before or after the show.
