The Doric Cabaret on Taschereau Boulevard is for sale at seemingly-reasonable $650,000 for both the building and the business.The 7,500 square foot property has served the strip club needs of Brossard for several decades.
The club has had a few wrinkles in the past. In 2008 a guy was shot in the throat there and in 2011 a father and son were found dead upstairs, possibly murder victims.
Strippers got into an epic brawl at the club a few weeks ago, according to my source.
The fight apparently led the club to change its policy and limit the number of dancers from that particular ethnic persuasion, thereby leading to a deterioration in the quality of the entertainment, according to his interpretation.
Another recent description.
Dropped in last night, a Saturday. There were maybe eight strippers, none attractive. Lumpy, out-of-shape bodies with unruly hair, floppy bums and ill-fitting bikinis. Like Cleos on the dayshift. That is not praise.
The new owners might continue to run the operation as a strip club but as we have seen in many other cases, municipal authorities have worked to get rid of such clubs.
A similar club called Chez Francis on the West Island was recently sold for a low price and was demolished. Other Montreal area strip clubs that have closed over the last while include Super Sexe on Ste. Catherine, Mado on Pie IX and The Dice Club on Papineau.
