(53 Ratings)
Smooth, delicious, and lightly aged

No, not the wine -- the dancers. This is a men-only bar and strip club. Interested in dancing for them? Auditions are every Sunday at 7 p.m.

Mentally Unstable Dancer - Watch Out

Don't get me wrong I love watching smooth boys dancing to my pleasure and Montreal is one of favorite cities to go watch them when I am in business there. That being said the last time I was at Taboo I was approached by this nasty endomorph addict who claimed his name was Eric. He kept offering up his services in the back for a private dance and I just kept saying I wasn't interested, I just didn't have the heart to tell him he was fugly. But the twitchy little freak kept following me around the club babbling on that he wanted to do me for cheap and how could I not find a pure blood irish boy like him not attractive. At this point I told him to f off and actually pushed him back since he was spitting in my face, at which point he started spouting off as loudly as possible you n****er loving jew. At that point the bouncer manhandled the little freak and shoved him out the front door coming back to me to apologize. I found the whole experience unsettling and left immediately I will never return to Taboo. They really need to better control the type of hustlers they allow in that place.

Taboo is back!

I had last visited Taboo in the spring of 2006. At that time it seemed to be going downhill. But after closing for a bit, renovations, a new owner and management it's back to its old self. This review is for my visit in late September of 2012. The bar still features younger guys but not the muscle guys like Campus or Stock. The place is very warm and friendly. The dancers are attentive but not all over you. Dances are $10 or $20 and are more private than they used to be. There is still no cover charge or drink minimum. I was very happy to see that my favorite dancer, Diego, was still there. He was bartending the night we arrived but he remembered us and came right over to say hello. It had been six years. On the weekend he was a dancer. His private dances were as sexy and sweet as ever. If you remember the old days, you might remember Jerry, a waiter there. He is now the owner and has restored the bar to what it was in its heyday. I have traveled quite a bit and there really are no nude male dance bars like this anywhere. Montreal is unique. If you enjoyed the bar in the old days, you will like it now. If you've never been there, be sure to give it a try.

Taboo is a Joke.

I just got back from Taboo and not much has changed. Ashame. Guys just don't care. Dancers only hit on the very old old guys. What's up with that.? When I left Taboo I said to two young guys that nothing will change and to hit on old guys. Wow! Won't waste a dime on this place. I was dressed in my Business clothes and nothing. Ashame. Skip this one. Owner should think twice about how he conducts business.

Taboo is back

was there three times in the last week. Dancers were good, waiters were gorgeous. Perhaps they rotate some of the dancers as waiters. Was disappointed at the smaller crowds. C'mon guys lets keep this place alive. Will be back for 6 days in both July and Sep. J/Boston
