Great spot. Unfortunately, new policy where you oversell tickets... Meaning those that purchased can't actually get in because you're over capacity. Why would I buy again if there is no guarantee my ticket will be effective.

Ahh City, how I love thee.
Anyone who loves EDM is gonna end up here- all your local artists to amazing international performances and Escapade after parties. Legends of yesterday & today- in fact, the person in the crowd beside you could be tomorrow's big name in EDM - so practice your PLUR (Google it)
City is BIG on consent (why I love this place) their security is top notch- you have an issue, you speak up and it's dealt with.
Love the intimacy as it's a tight space when it's packed and the artists are an arm's length away. The sound system is loud, bring loops/ear gasms etc if you need them.
Bar can be hard to navigate too when packed, use your manners- most people are PLUR gang- but tip your bar tenders & smile, you'll be seen from then on. Bar, security & door staff are top notch.
In the summer, yes, it's way too hot, and muggy, is it a basement. So dress accordingly. (Mesh/alt styles all welcome)
As always, do not use flash pls in the scene- it's a vibe harsher- there's sick lazers and Rick's white rabbit events are unreal. Was once told nothing that glows is allowed-
Honestly, City has grown so much from just a club- to a kitch spot when concepts was running on Thursdays, sometimes shut down for private events, and lately, extended hours (5 am) - also a camping event in the summer (search on insta for details)
Bathrooms, damp, artsy (bring a sharpie) big line ups, squads inside the 2 stalls, often needing reminders to exit (ladies room esp) be ready for that, or ask security to deal w it.
If you can't find your friend(s), check the alley.

I got sexually harassed and threatened with out any provocation on my end and when I told security they bypassed they’re 0 tolerance policy because they happened to be friends ,I was very upset, no justice was served that day and they didn’t protect they’re customers

City at night is by far the spot to be. Every staff member is welcoming. Door guys/girls greet you with open arms and a smile. Head down to coat check and you're greeted with more beautiful smiles and happy energy. Bouncers were soft hearted especially Mr. Beard he was bopping away with the rest of us and still on guard but don't let it trick you they mean business if you act a fool. The bar staff are quick, but supper mean lmaooo I'm kidding more amazing energy. Delicious cocktails generous pours and cheap if you show up at the right time. The DJs keep you grooving all night with non stop bangers. Lastly the manager Mr. N really cares about your experience I feel this is such a safe place to be and I'm proud to be part of the City At Night family. Don't let the bad reviews draw you a false picture come for yourself. I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL SOON!!!!!

Very rude bouncer. A terrible greeting. We skipped the place.

Honestly, the venue is not much to look at, but the vibes are crazy. All of the staff that I encountered were super nice (bartenders, security, bouncer, coat check), and the drinks are priced very fairly. The dj was absolutely fire, if you’re into house tech this is your place. 10/10 will be coming back next time I’m in Ottawa.

The exterior looks and smells like a landfill just full of garbage. never even went inside but they should probably maintain the exterior...

It’s City at Night (rave/rap music club), Heart and Crown (country/rock music club) and Blue Cactus (chill bar)… the Ottawa ringer. Just pick one or two and try not to get stuck outside during the winter, the lines can be brutal. Luckily it was like 20 degrees Celsius on Halloween this year.
Awesome house music and great place to dance and have fun.

I loved this establishment so much up until yesterday…shame on the security staff..terrible terrible security! They used physical force on my friend that was intoxicated..and continued to use physical force on me and my other friend when we were trying to get my friend out of the club to get him home safely! None of us were indicating any type of fight in the club except the fact that my friend was drunk and was able to go back in thanks to the security outside that let him in knowing that he was extremely intoxicated. Not only they don’t do their job properly, but also use physical force cause their security system sucked, I have never in my life seen such thing where an establishment allows their security to throw out intoxicated people, beat them up and push them further from safety…adding to that..the amount of underage people in that club is insane..no id checks…people doing hard drugs everywhere..and after u tell the security about it they tell u to Mind your business, get your staff to learn the responsibility of working in an establishment that serves excessive alchohol without manatoring their customers or even respect the limited capacity of crowd that should be inside…your liscence should be taken away..and this will be reported

Its ok, good vibe, not too much fun, but ok to listen some techno.

They were over selling the tickets, more than the maximum capacity. I was even not able to breathe,
