The Story of "Bain Mathieu"
Bain Mathieu is a truly unique Montreal venue housed within a restored 1930s public bathhouse. Originally built in 1931 and in operation until 1990, it was lovingly renovated in the early 2000s by the Société pour promouvoir l’art gigantesque (SPAG), transforming the space into a versatile cultural hub.
At the heart of the venue stands the historic, empty swimming pool—a stunning centerpiece that adds character and charm to the main hall, which accommodates up to 400 standing guests (or 235 seated).
A second, smaller basement room—La Cache—holds 200 standing (100 seated) and offers an intimate setting for more niche events.
Bain Mathieu functions as both an artist incubator and an event space, hosting everything from dance parties and live concerts to art installations, exhibitions, conferences, fashion shows, and corporate gatherings. Its loft-style, industrial aesthetic perfectly complements its varied programming, inviting creative expression in every corner.
Attendees regularly praise the venue’s spaciousness, historic ambiance, friendly staff, and accessible drink options, making it a go-to for immersive nightlife experiences and creative community events.
