About Pandora Supper Club
Pandora Supper Club is a large nightclub and supper-club hybrid in Laval (Chomedey/Pont-Viau area). Housed in a modern event space (recently renovated in 2023 (www.eventective.com )), it’s built to seat 20–400 people (max capacity ~400 (www.eventective.com ) (www.eventective.com )). It brands itself as a high-end cocktail lounge meets supper club – essentially a restaurant by night that turns into a dance club later. The promoters describe it as “Laval’s premier cocktail lounge, supper club & nightclub,” offering “a unique, sophisticated experience” that blends elegant dining with high-energy dancing (shoplaval.ca ). Inside you’ll find plush lounge seating, a full-service kitchen and bars (indoors and outdoors), professional staff (chefs, bartenders, servers, security) and state-of-the-art lighting and sound for live events (www.eventective.com ) (www.eventective.com ). In short, Pandora combines fine dining (oysters, sushi, steaks, etc.) with club amenities, making it one of Laval’s few upscale nightlife venues.
Events and Programming
Pandora is primarily active on weekend nights. It operates as a dinner-style supper club on Friday and Saturday evenings (typically 7PM–11PM) and then transitions to a nightclub with DJs, dancing and bottle service late at night (usually 11PM–3AM) (shoplaval.ca ) (shoplaval.ca ). The club hosts a wide range of events: from formal corporate dinners and multi-course prix-fixe meals to casual cocktail parties, then into late-night “lounge” or club nights with live DJs and dancing (www.eventective.com ). Recurring themes might include EDM or hip-hop parties, Latin nights, holiday celebrations (Valentine’s Day parties are popular, as is New Year’s Eve) and promoters’ branded events. For example, a recent New Year’s party promotion boasted Pandora’s “loyal crowd” and “unique atmosphere,” while a Valentine’s event featured an international guest DJ (thepointofsale.com ) (www.eventbrite.com ). Other local promoters (like “The Box” or STEEZ Entertainment) have held anniversary or seasonal dance events there. Ticket prices vary widely by show – a ticketing site lists Pandora event tickets from roughly $30 even up to over $1,000 for premium tables (www.premiumseating.com ). In general, expect dinner tickets or tables in the evening hours, then nightclub entry fees (often modest) for the late set. Popular events sell out quickly, so it’s wise to book early when known.
Tickets and Booking
Public shows at Pandora are announced via promotional flyers and the venue’s information channels. Tickets for major parties are usually sold in advance through authorized outlets or by contacting the club directly. For example, the club often sells advance tickets for themed nights (Valentine’s, anniversary parties, etc.) and may offer table reservations or bottle service packages by appointment. Pricing depends on the event. As a rough guide, resale-tracking sites show general tickets starting in the $30–$50 range, while premium tables or VIP sections can go into the high hundreds or more (www.premiumseating.com ). In most cases you should purchase or reserve well before event night. If tickets remain at door, arriving early is best to get in before capacity is reached. The club’s box office (or its phone line) can confirm details: some events are 18+ or 21+, so always check age requirements. In short, no single ticketing platform covers Pandora – either buy directly from the venue or through the event organizer, and expect many shows to sell out.
Seating and Layout
Pandora’s interior is a large open hall with flexible seating. There is no fixed auditorium; instead the space can be configured for dining or dancing. Typically, Friday/Saturday dinner service has tables or banquettes spread around the edges, while later the floor is cleared around a central dance area (often facing a stage or DJ podium). The venue actually consists of three main event areas (total ~557 m²) (www.eventective.com ) – essentially one big main room with adjoining side/lounge sections (and even a patio/outdoor area). This means you can find quieter lounge corners or VIP booths as well as standing space by the bar. Acoustically it’s set up for loud music: dynamic mood lighting highlights the dance floor and a professional AV system handles live sound and DJ sets (www.eventective.com ) (www.eventective.com ). If you’re coming for dinner, seats near the bar or along the side walls offer a view of the main stage/dance area; later on any open spot on the floor becomes a viewing area. The venue is wheelchair-accessible and the layout is fairly flat, so views are generally open (there are no low balconies). In short, best spots depend on the evening’s plan: toward the front for floor action, or back corner booths for cocktails and conversation. (Insider tip: any pillars or walls inside may block the direct line to speakers, but staff can usually guide you to an optimal table.)
Getting There and Parking
Pandora Supper Club is at 579 Boulevard Saint-Martin Ouest in Laval (www.eventbrite.com ). It sits in eastern Chomedey, near the Pont-Viau area (just off Autoroute 440 and near the Autoroute des Laurentides). By car it’s very accessible: there’s a large free parking lot on-site for patrons (www.eventective.com ) (www.eventbrite.ca ). Event ads explicitly note “Free venue parking” at Pandora, so you won’t have to hunt for street parking (www.eventbrite.ca ). Major highways nearby include Autoroute 15 and 640, making it straightforward from all parts of Laval or Montreal. For public transit, several Laval STL buses run along St-Martin Boulevard or nearby roads; you can connect from Montreal’s Orange Line metro (the Montmorency terminal is one stop away from Cartier station then a short bus jourmey). The closest metro stop on the Laval side is Cartier, roughly a 10–15 minute drive east of Pandora. Late-night rideshares and taxis are also common (especially after 3 AM when metro/bus service has stopped).
Inside the Venue
Entering Pandora, expect a clubby but upscale vibe. On event nights the door staff will check IDs (age 18+ in Quebec, many nights run 21+) and may enforce a dress code (smart casual – no athletic wear, etc.). Security is present (and one review even mentioned staff chewing gum being frowned upon!). There’s usually a short line before peak hours on big nights. Once inside, guests find a central dance area or stage and surrounding seating zones. Bars line the interior – there’s an indoor lounge bar plus an *outdoor bar/patio* area (as listed in the venue amenities (www.eventective.com )) if weather permits. The in-house bartenders are “expert mixologists,” mixing premium spirits and fresh ingredients into signature cocktails (shoplaval.ca ). A full supper club menu is served until about 10–11PM (see “Supper Club” below). Later it’s mainly drinks and dancing. There’s also a coat check (on busy nights) and free Wi-Fi throughout (www.eventective.com ). Restrooms (including an accessible one) are inside near the rear. Overall the atmosphere shifts from a lounge/dining mood early on to a high-energy nightclub feel with flashing lights after dark. One dining reviewer praised the very good food and music (though noted service and bar speed could be slow), so it’s wise to be patient at peak times (www.tripadvisor.com ). Alcohol is on the pricier side here – one guest joked that drinks are expensive but music is “really good” (www.tripadvisor.com ) – so plan your budget accordingly. The venue also provides menus on tables and likely sells Pandora-branded merchandise (ask if available).
Nearby Amenities
The surrounding area offers plenty of pre/post-show options. Just north of Pandora is Place Bell (Laval’s large arena and concert venue on Blvd. Le Corbusier), with fast-food and casual-chain restaurants nearby. A couple of minutes’ drive away is the Carrefour Laval mall, which has dozens of dining and shopping choices (from sit-down restaurants to cafes and bars). If you want a full sit-down dinner before Pandora, you could drive or walk to nearby restaurants in Chomedey – for example, several grills, pizzerias and ethnic eateries line Boulevard Saint-Martin towards Montmorency. There is a hotel cluster a short distance from Pandora: for instance, the Hampton Inn by Hilton Laval is less than 1 km away (www.tripadvisor.ca ), and within 3 km there are places like Courtyard Marriott Laval, Hotel Sheraton Laval, Holiday Inn Laval-Montreal, and Hilton Montreal/Laval (www.tripadvisor.ca ) (www.tripadvisor.ca ). (These are handy if you plan to stay overnight, or if you need a nap before an early meeting in Laval the next morning.) On-street parking is limited, but the free lots at Pandora cover it. If you arrive early, you can grab a bite at a nearby eatery or chill at a bar; if you leave late, rideshares are plentiful. Late-night fast-food (like pizza spots and delis) are within a few blocks if you need a snack after 3 AM. In short, Pandora is in an active commercial area with hotels and eateries within easy reach.
What Makes This Venue Special
Pandora’s unique appeal is its multi-role concept and slick ambiance. Unlike most bars, it’s designed to be a full supper club and a nightclub in one place, with a staff and layout to match (www.eventective.com ) (www.eventective.com ). Guests rave about its high-end décor, mood lighting and sound system – one ad promised “the same vision, the same energy… a loyal crowd and unique atmosphere” for special events (thepointofsale.com ). Its menus and cocktails are more gourmet than an average club, and it even has an oyster/raw bar theme (oysters, sushi, tartare and Angus steaks are listed as specialties) for the dining hours. Culturally, Pandora has brought a downtown-style nightlife experience to Laval, creating a destination where previously none existed. It regularly hosts memorable events (New Year’s parties, anniversary bashes, themed holidays), often selling out long before the night. Even dramatic events (an arson fire in June 2024) have only added to its story – the damage was ~$75,000 (courrierlaval.com ), but the club was swiftly repaired and reopened, underscoring its prominence. In short, both locals and visiting performers applaud Pandora’s blend of fine dining and club energy – it’s the only place in Laval that truly offers that supper-club vibe with a nightclub finale (shoplaval.ca ) (www.eventective.com ). Artists love it for the pro sound/light setup and enthusiastic crowd, and audiences love it for the “elevated-party” atmosphere.
Visitor Tips and Information
Accessibility: The club is wheelchair-accessible (listed as ADA compliant) with ramps and an accessible washroom (www.eventective.com ). Parasols or shaded waiting area may be limited, so plan accordingly.
Age Restriction: Quebec law allows 18+, and Pandora typically enforces an 18+ (sometimes advertised as 21+) entry policy. Be prepared to show photo ID (driver’s license, passport) at the door. Some event pages explicitly state “ages 18+” (www.eventbrite.com ), so it’s safe to assume you must be at least 18.
Dress Code: There’s no written uniform, but the vibe is upscale-casual. Come dressed smartly (collared shirts, nice jeans or slacks for men; trendy outfits for women). Avoid ballcaps, sportswear or overtly casual attire. If in doubt, dress a step nicer than a typical bar night.
Payment: Most major cards are accepted – Visa, MasterCard, AmEx and even mobile/contactless pay (www.restomontreal.ca ). Still, it’s a good idea to carry a bit of cash for tips or small peripheral expenses (though all menus seem on the card machine).
What to Bring: Bring a positive ID, your ticket (printed or on phone if applicable), and any reservation confirmation. Coat-check is usually available (ask the hostess) for jackets. A phone is fine (the venue has Wi-Fi) if you want photos, but professional cameras or flash photography might be restricted once shows begin.
Avoid This Mistake: Don’t arrive at the last minute for dinner or a show – tables fill fast and service can slow down at peak times. **Make a reservation** if you plan to dine (especially for Friday/Saturday nights). Otherwise, try to get there by opening (around 7–8PM) to secure a table. If you come late, you may end up standing at the bar or on a crowded dance floor. Also, be patient with drink service: some visitors have reported long waits if bartenders are busy (www.tripadvisor.com ).
Coat/Bags: No large bags or outside food/drinks allowed. A small purse or clutch is fine. Most clubs frown on professional video cameras, so leave bulky camera gear behind.
Connectivity: Free Wi-Fi is available throughout (www.eventective.com ) – the staff can give you the password if needed.
Catering to Groups: The venue is group-friendly (the amenity list even notes “group parking” and flexible event spaces), so if you have 10+ people, consider calling ahead. But even small groups or couples are welcome.
Etiquette: It’s a party setting – dancing and mingling with strangers is normal. Don’t worry about noise levels; it’s meant to be loud. Simply enjoy the show or DJ set. As always, tip the service staff ~10-15% of your tab.
Nearby Transit: If you do take public transit, remember Laval’s last buses/metro shut down just past midnight, so plan a late-night ride in advance. Taxis, Ubers and Lift calls are plentiful in Laval, especially on Friday/Saturday nights.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacity of Pandora Supper Club?
Pandora can accommodate up to about 400 guests at once. It’s described as a turnkey event space designed for 20 to 400 people (www.eventective.com ). In practice, the main dance/dining hall holds a few hundred, with additional lounge or patio areas. Event listings confirm a 400-person max capacity (www.eventective.com ).
How do I buy tickets for events at Pandora Supper Club?
Tickets are usually sold through the event organizers or the venue’s box office. Pandora does not have a one-stop online ticket store to the public, so check advertised events (often on social media or flyers) and follow the instructions given. Many Pandora events require advance purchase, as shows tend to sell out. If tickets are available at the door, arrive early. For large group bookings or special dinners, you can call or email the club (info often listed as “by appointment” on weekdays). Always be wary of unofficial ticket resellers: use only confirmed outlets or the venue’s own info when possible.
What are the ticket prices?
Ticket pricing varies widely by event. For regular club nights, cover fees or advance admissions might start around \$30–\$40 CAD. Private dinners or headliner events can cost more. As one resale site notes, Pandora event tickets range from roughly \$32 on the low end to well over \$1,000 for premium tables or VIP packages (www.premiumseating.com ). Always check the specific event announcement for pricing tiers and packages. Expect Fridays/Saturdays to be pricier than a weekday lounge night.
Where is Pandora Supper Club located and how do I get there?
Pandora is at 579 Boulevard Saint-Martin Ouest in Laval, Quebec (www.eventbrite.com ). It’s in the Chomedey/Pont-Viau area, near the junction of Autoroute 440 and Route des Laurentides. By car, you can take Autoroute 15 or 440 and follow signs for Boulevard St-Martin. Parking is free on-site for patrons (www.eventective.com ) (www.eventbrite.ca ). Public transit is possible via Laval STL buses on St-Martin, or by taking Montreal’s Orange Line to Cartier/Montmorency station and then a short bus or taxi. Street parking nearby is scarce, so using the lot is easiest.
Is there public parking at Pandora Supper Club?
Yes. Pandora has its own parking lot that is free to guests. Event postings specifically mention “free venue parking” (www.eventbrite.ca ), and the venue description notes ample on-site parking as a feature (www.eventective.com ). You should have no trouble finding a spot if you arrive early enough before a big event.
What is the seating layout and which are the best seats?
Pandora’s floor plan is flexible rather than fixed. For dinner events, tables are spread through the hall, usually with a view of the DJ/stage area. After dinner service, tables are often removed or retracted for an open dance floor. If you want to watch a performance, front/center tables or those near the stage give the best view. For a relaxed eat-and-chat experience, back or side tables near the lounge bar are cozy. The venue technically has three event areas (the main room plus perhaps a mezzanine or patio) (www.eventective.com ), so some seating might be off the main level. Acoustically, there are no “bad” areas – the sound system is designed to fill the space. Avoid standing behind any pillars or too far from the stage if you want an unobstructed view or photo/video.
What is the dress code?
Pandora tends toward an upscale atmosphere, so dress smart-casual. Men typically wear collared shirts or nice tees with dress pants or jeans; women might wear dresses or stylish tops. Sneakers are fine, but avoid athletic jerseys, flip-flops or overly casual attire. During dining hours, expect a more restaurant-friendly look. At late-night parties the vibe is club/cocktail, so think “dress to impress.” The staff enforces an age 18+ (often 21+) policy, so carrying a valid ID is absolutely required. In short: there’s no strict uniform rule, but leave the T-shirts, hoodies and hats at home.
What are the age restrictions?
Pandora is primarily an adult venue. The legal drinking age in Quebec is 18, and most Pandora events reflect that. Listings explicitly state “21 ans et plus” or “ages 18+” on tickets (www.restomontreal.ca ) (www.eventbrite.com ). At the door you will be asked for ID. Rarely are minors allowed (only on special family-friendly shows, which are uncommon). Always assume you must be at least 18 with valid photo ID (driver’s license, passport) unless otherwise noted on the event advert.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
Yes. Pandora reports being ADA/ADA-compliant (wheelchair accessible) (www.eventective.com ). This means there are entrances (and likely an elevator or ramp if there is more than one level) to accommodate wheelchairs, and at least one accessible restroom. The interior floor is relatively flat with wide walkways. If you have specific accessibility needs, it’s best to call ahead to confirm any details (but general policy is that the club is fully accessible).
What food and drink options are available inside Pandora?
Pandora features a full supper-club menu on Fridays and Saturdays. Expect seafood (oysters, shrimp, sushi, seafood platters) and premium meats (steaks, ribs, Angus beef, tartare) along with upscale appetizers and desserts. The dining experience is termed “exquisite” and “meticulously crafted” for weekend evenings (shoplaval.ca ). Cocktails are a highlight – expert mixologists create both classic and signature drinks using premium spirits (shoplaval.ca ). There are multiple bars (an indoor lounge bar and an outdoor bar area (www.eventective.com )) so drink service is constant. Alcohol is expensive (one diner noted pricey cocktails (www.tripadvisor.com )), so prices are higher than a typical pub. Food service typically cuts off around 10–11PM, after which it’s mostly drinks and dancing. You can pay by credit card or contactless – all major forms (Visa, MC, AmEx, Interac) are accepted (www.restomontreal.ca ).
Are there coat check and Wi-Fi available?
Yes. Pandora offers a coat and bag check service (especially on busy nights), so you can store jackets and purses. Free Wi-Fi is provided throughout the venue for guests (www.eventective.com ), so you can use your smartphone or other devices during dinner or between sets (ask staff for the network/password). Keep your belongings small and secure, as with any club – large backpacks or professional cameras are discouraged.
Does Pandora have a patio or outdoor area?
Yes. The venue includes an outdoor function area (likely a patio) in addition to the indoor club space (www.eventective.com ). Depending on the event, it may serve as an open-air lounge or smoking area. If weather is nice and the event is open to the public, you’ll often find seating or a bar station outside. However, the main concert/dance area is indoors – the patio is more of an auxiliary lounge.
What forms of payment are accepted?
The club accepts all common payment methods. Credit and debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) and mobile/contactless payments are accepted (www.restomontreal.ca ). There’s even Interac (debit) and mobile wallet options. In practice, you can tap or swipe at the bar/restaurant. Always keep your own card handy. Cash is rarely needed, but you might want some on you for tips or small purchases (not required, but always appreciated by servers/bartenders).
