About
Aigle Noir is a legendary fixture of the Montreal Village and an essential stop on any global gay map. Since 1992, this iconic venue has stood as the premier destination for gay men who appreciate an authentic, masculine atmosphere. Whether you are part of the leather, bear, or denim scenes, or just looking for a queer space with a bit of edge, Aigle Noir offers a welcoming and inclusive vibe for all members of the LGBTQ+ community. The venue features three distinct bar areas spread across its multi-level interior, catering to various moods throughout the day. You can start your evening on the massive sidewalk terrace—a prime spot for people-watching in the heart of Montreal—or head to the mezzanine sports bar for a more relaxed drink. For those seeking a more adventurous experience, the back bar serves as the venue's dedicated cruising bar, where the lighting dims and the energy ramps up. Known for its friendly, shirtless bartenders and an eclectic mix of pop and electro hits, Aigle Noir strikes the perfect balance between a neighborhood social hub and a high-energy nightlife institution. Whether you're visiting for a Sunday afternoon beer or a late-night encounter, this 'Black Eagle' remains a cornerstone of the Montreal queer scene.
