To describe Montreal's Circus Afterhours as a den of iniquity is an understatement. Located off the dingy backstreets of Montreal's own gay village, these three rooms are designed with only the most hardened night owls in mind.

Kicking off at 2am and running until 10am, this club doesn't skimp on production either, decking the halls from top to bottom with themed décor depending on the occasion, while regularly inviting fire-breathers, burlesque dancers and acrobats to take energy levels through the roof.

Sound quality is second-to-none too, the force of its gigantic Funktion One rig in the main room is considered one of the finest in the land. No surprise Circus Afterhours has made yet another appearance in this poll.
