Bouncers steal my wallet and kick me off the club. When I asked to return my belongings, he pushed me hard and called cops telling lies to cops. Bouncers are very very disgusting. If you don’t pay them under the table they will do their best to kick you off and even steal things. Never had this kind of experience in my entire life.

HORRIBLE PLACE. My friends and I came here and the bouncers started a problem with one of us. The three ganged up on him and assaulted him. I don't understand why it takes 3 guys to de-escalate a situation with one guy. My friend left with bruises. They seemed ready to fight as soon as we got there. This place is trash and management should do something about these bouncers. Not the first review complaining about them. Bouncers are there to keep things calm and safe, not to validate their egos and act tough. DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR STAFF.

Unfortunately I went there a few nights ago and was drugged. When my friends realized what had happened they escorted me out of the building but I ended up passing out right in front of the bouncers multiple times. Even though they could see that I was not doing well they did not come to help me and one of my friends had to go up to them to ask for help. I was screaming uncontrollably and kept getting walked on. I hope that if this were to ever happen again that they would go out of their way to help another young girl instead of watching her overdose and getting stepped on.

They made us pay twice for drinks we ordered claiming we never paid even though we could show them the bank receipts, the bartender refused to even look at it and called security over right away. He said we were yelling at him. When we were talking to the manager and he did not believe that we had already paid, and said that there were "discrepancies" in our story vs the bartenders we were trying to show bank statements showing we paid and they wouldn't even look at it. I believe that they must have known they had made a mistake but did not want to take responsibility. This was not the first time we have gone and been treated this way. A large volume of their crowd is university age students, it appears that they think that just because they are young adults they are allowed to treat them unfairly. It is not worth going and being treated like that, there are many better places to go where you will be treated with respect. It was an incredibly disappointing night I would recommend going somewhere else.

My friends and I had a really bad experience with all the bouncers, they seemed aggressive and ready to start altercations for no reason when we were being respectful. It seemed like there was a bunch of rowdy guys hanging out with the bouncers and being rude to customers who didn’t even appear to work there. My friend also experienced harassment when trying to ask them a question; they said really derogatory things right in front of her in French thinking she wouldn’t understand them (she speaks French and understood all it). Overall bad experience, really hard to order drinks and just got treated badly by the staff

Bouncers are douches that make you wait in the freezing cold unless you pay them ~$20-50 under the table or you’re a barely legal girl with a tube top on. Bad business, bad bar.

I waited for more than one hour and the line was not even moving. During the wait I saw 5 fights involving the bouncers. One guy was even bleeding. They are very aggressive! Don't go there it's a waste of your time. Never going back again!

Guest list means nothing to the door men. But all there friends get first in while the rest freeze out side. Sadly just another thug hangout.

Worst bar ever I would never go back nor recommend this place to anyone there only in it for the money not safety of there customers and 15 year Olds are let in as long as they pay the bouncers such a sad sad bar!!!!!!!!!!!

My friends and I (18-19) got assaulted by 30 yr old men. I went to order a drink from the bar and got ice thrown at my face from guys standing in the corner, which caused me to wake up with a black eye. They constantly pulled my friends and I hair and threw ice repeatedly for a hour. Then their friend followed us all night even once we left the club and followed us to the pizza place. Bouncers wouldn’t do anything about it since these men were friends of the owners, they don’t care about your safety.

if i could give 0 stars i would.. drinks are so over priced 6$ for a shot and the bouncers were really aggressive after paying 6$ for a drink the bouncer didnt even ask me to put down the drink he literally just ripped it out of my hands and scrapped my hand against the brick wall.

Attendees I really enjoy Mardi Gras, the crowd is at-least 95% younger people from Ottawa and surrounding area Colleges/University. Out of all the clubs I've attended, this one has the friendliest people and I've made a lot of acquaintances. This club is pretty rowdy compared to other Clubs I've been to, I attend pretty well every Friday night and I've already been pushed and shoved into walls from fights erupting inside and outside the club. It's becoming pretty annoying but what can you expect from a bunch of drunk 18 year old males. In my experience, people are much more friendly in Gatineau for whatever reason. I tend to stay away from Ottawa Clubs as much as I can. Service The bartenders rarely get your orders right, but I mean, alcohol is alcohol right? I'm not picky. Bouncers are VERY aggressive and don't put up with much. The club is pretty safe and I felt like if I had an issue it could be reported accordingly and would be taken care of. The people taking your tickets to get into the club were very friendly and fast. Atmosphere I really enjoy the indoor setting of Mardi Gras, it's always pretty clean and the decorations are really unique! During one of my nights attending I really enjoyed the flying confetti they had put into the crowd. Music So, every-time I've gone the music has been the EXACT same. You'll hear a lot of early 2000 music, 2013 tracks and too much rap for my tastes. *occasionally* some remixed today's top hits, but it's rare. One thing that seems to annoy a lot of go-ers (myself included) is the country music they play which boggles my mind as you're trying to appeal to a crowd of drunk teenagers. Over-all, I think if they switched up the music every once in a while It would be a lot better. *** CONCERNS *** Something that seriously needs more attention is the men driving around and waiting outside the club that are claiming to be Uber Drivers (and cannot connect to the service in Gatineau) trying to get drunk, vulnerable girls into their cars. This has happened for the past two weeks and is becoming very concerning as it only appears to be getting worse. Men drive around also claiming to be Taxi's but are very clearly not. If you're attending, I would STRONGLY suggest going with a friend or a group of people.

To any person who is thinking of going to this bar/club don't, I've personally gone and have been treated with no dignity, respect, or compassion from the bouncers and bartenders. But that isn't what compelled me to write this despite my expirences being beaten up by the bouncers, and having many bad experiences around this area on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday. No, Im writing this because yeterday I lost a friend because of the rift raft, idiot, losers who hang around these areas. A friend of mine was stabbed to death. I don't advice anybody to go to Addiction, its unsafe, unclean, and crowded with idiots looking for fights, and even ready to stab a good guy for NOTHING. Yours truely, Junior.

The 40 year old male bouncers are very rude to 17 year old girls😂… only let you in if you pay crazy amount or else you’ll be waiting for hours on the cold.bouncers need to stop abusing their power

Went there to celebrate my friends birthday and instead had 10 white boys pull up on us for walking past them. Don’t go to Mardis Grads if you are a white girl or anyone of any ethnicity other than white; you will be harrasssed and abused. Be careful and do not soeretare yourself from your friends when there. Garbage establishment and abused us out of our money and time. Received death threats for simply attending this club. I will be filing a court lawsuit for the abuse we received during this visit.

Would give it less if I could.... bouncers are nothing but goofs ...on steroids...should all be arrested....will be pressing charges...should be close down ..

The place was bumping and the pregnant lady on cocaine was swell. CHRIS IS YOU'RE READING THIS EMAIL ME!

Worst customer service. The staff members do not communicate with each other. AWFULLLLL. Pa janm met pye nou lotbo a, JAMAIS JAMAIS. if i could put 0 star 😗😗

Bartenders will ask for a tip before even serving you a drink, the drinks aren't even good enough to warrant paying the full price for, the music will leave your ears ringing for hours afterwards and the club is crowded as all hell. They let in so many people that you will be pushed around for hours because there is no space for people to get by you, and no space to dance so you and especially your ass will be hit by other people's hands, arms and asses. If you like feeling ripped off and claustrophobic then this is the place for you

Someone stole my phone here, no employee was of any help. They dont have a lost and found either. Bouncers are rude and right before the club closes they physically push people out the doors. Always a super long wait to get in, or sometimes you dont even get in. Drinks are way over priced. Only good thing was the music!

Greasy but good place

Horrible service took 1 and a half hours just to get a BOTTLE. They also gave themselves tips ($30) without asking us or giving us the option!! Our server also STOLE $10 from us so basically making it $40 she stole in total without even serving us nicely. Oh and heads up they cut up your real IDs :) what a great way to treat customers :) Should be closed down the workers have no respect for customers and get WAY too wasted, learn your tolerance!!

Love this nightclub!! The music could sometimes use a little help but other than that it’s a great atmosphere/place. My friends and I absolutely LOVE the bartender named Emilie, she’s the best and is so fun and nice!! Would recommend

I recently had a work lunch at the restaurant that operates during the day at this club. Maybe we should have known that a club venue wouldn't be a great place for food but it was awful all the same. The chicken that they serve on the Voodoo poutine is clearly microwaved as it was not heated all the way through and was cold and wet in the middle and frankly didn't even look like chicken. Someone at the table asked for the Cajun fries with their meal and when it came with the regular ones it took them forever to replace them. So long that we were leaving by the time they came. In a party of 10+ people only 2 actually enjoyed their food. The service was average but I don't understand how a restaurant can operate with such low standards for the food they serve.

The jesters on the wall were staring into my soul. I have nightmares

Everything was fine until a grown 30 year old man started pushing my friend. I tried to defend her but he started pushing me so I got security to help and they told US to move away from him and he got drinks and hugs from the bartender. Extremely shocked that behaviour is permitted. Like COME on guys not cool at all.

Pretty sleazy place, which is kinda messed up since it's usually filled with uni students.

Mardi gras is the night club. They also have Voodoo lounge and Pub Bayou all at the same location. It is located by Old Hull and there is a large mix of young people / teens frequent here. But it does have a great outdoor patio area and wonderful dance floor with a raised stage for live performance. Most of nights, it is DJ and occasionally they have live bands. Cover charge expected after 9 pm during weekends. Music DJed is mixed and you probably need to inquire more in detail but often staff do not even know. It would be nice if they have themed music nights so not much of a bust when you go. Finally, drinks are actually quite reasonably priced compared to most establishments post covid. $7.45/ tax in for a glass of beer. That is getting hard to find these days.

Few months ago, I went to Mardi Gras and someone stole my $45 in the club. Plus, I hated when the security guard disrespected me & my friends when he checked my friend. The worst was I couldn't found my Jordan's cap. Guys I will recommend you that this club is the most dangerous in Gatineau

Bad atmosphere, bad music, bunch of guys trying to literally get us to get in their cars (they said they were cabs..). Not alot of drink choices and it had a bunch of clearly ubderage kids wasted. I didn't enjoy my time and left after about an hour or two.

(Translated by Google) Hello to the 18 year old crowd who arrives straight from Ottawa. (Original) Allo au crowd de 18 ans qui débarque tout droit d'ottawa.

I've never reviewed a place on Google before, but Mardi on Halloween night was so unbelievably awful that I had to jump on here bruh.

(Translated by Google) They just let white people come in and even if we bought our tickets to come in, they tore them up in front of us. If I could give zero stars, I would do it real quick! 😡 (Original) Ils laissaient juste rentrer les Blancs et même si on avait acheté nos billets pour rentrer, ils les déchiraient devant nous. Si je pouvais donner zéro étoile, je le ferais real quick! 😡

Compared to other clubs I have been to, I found Mardi Gras to be very disappointing. The music was rubbish and there were a few older men who looked out of place (I was deranged to see one staring at the breasts of young women). The $5 cover fee was not worth it, although I must admit the decoration inside (the giant masks) was pretty cool, hence why I didn't rate this place one star.

Stole 30 dollars from me basically, don’t go to their “halloween thriller”, security is terrible.

WORST experience EVER! Me and my friends bought tickets online for Halloween night. These tickets were VERY expensive! 35$ Just to get there and there be hundreds of people lined up with the same tickets. We were in line for almost 2 hours without moving one inch. We got pushed around, crushed within the barricades and the security was rude and agressive. We didn’t even get in. Waste of money and time. Never give this place your money.

Good club for 18 year olds that live in Ottawa. Some nights are good some nights are bad. The music is the definition of mid. You have to be carful about drugs and entrance is overpriced and lines are long. Not the worst club in the world.

Always a good time, too many dudes tho

Worst place, they sell tickets beyond capacity and make you wait for hours, they spoiled our Halloween. They also cancelled Dec 21st 2023 Thursday night, I bought online ticket and after reaching they closed the club. Never responded to refund claim.

Don't go. It was a horrible experience. I heard mardigras was one of the better clubs, but they made us wait over 3 hours and we couldn't even get in

There’s more people watching you trying to kick you out then going to get you drinks. Worst service ever

(Translated by Google) Very pop techno and hip hop They do however have a separate bar which passes from the dancehall (Original) Très pop techno et hip hop Ils ont toutefois un bar à part qui passe du dancehall

Well, it was all pretty good until I got to coat check and had to wait an hour for my coat because the incompetent young ladies at coat check repeatedly messed up the tickets and brought the wrong jackets. Throughout that hour I was treated with no respect. Their customer service was absolutely terrible, but other than the ladies at coat check it was a fun club.

(Translated by Google) Can we say something other than WWWWWWOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW but where did the idea come from to make 2 bars in the same place for younger disco style and older music less boom boom. The atmosphere is stupid and the staff most pleasant (Original) Pouvons nous dire autre chose que WWWWWWOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW mais d'ou viens l'idée de faire 2 bars dans la même place pour plus jeunes style discothèque et plus vieux musique moins boum boum. L’ambiance est débile et le personnel des plus agréable

Good place to turn up with cheap cover

Pretty clean place, small, drinks were very expensive at $5.50 a shot.

We Got in, Got attacked by a group. But because that group knew the owner we got kicked out. Horrible club with bad morals. Don’t go here if you dont like getting kicked out of a club, highly unprofessional, and would highly recommend not going here. Absolutely ridiculous, the guys were threatening multiple people and didn’t get in no trouble because they know the owner. You could go here just don’t expect anything of great quality, especially not the morals or the etiquette of the workers.

Went here for a halloween event (37$/ticket)... the music they play is decent with only a few bangers. service was friendly. it can just get very crowded as the night goes on

Worst club experience EVER!!! We all bought tickets for new years, before they sold out. None of us got in, we stood in the freezing for an hour + Ticket holder line never moved. People were getting in tho, if they paid $100 each at door, for spevial bracelette to skip all the ppl who already bought their tickets! Super Crooked, bad business, HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! I saw the horrible reviews and didn't heed their advice, huge waste of time money and what could of been a great night!

the floors were sticky with what I can only hope was spilled drinks and nothing else.

Staff was amazing! Both Paarsa and Deshawn are awesome! Would highly recommend coming here for a great time!!! 😁

(Translated by Google) Great place great atmosphere (Original) Super lieu ambiance excellente

Had a great time here great place to just have fun 5$ per person to get in

(Translated by Google) Beautiful decor and good atmosphere (Original) Beau décors et bonne ambiance

The staff, the music, the venue! Amazing This place has been around forever and it's always gets better as the years go by! I don't see this place going anywhere anytime soon

Expensive and not worth it

Laurence the bartender took so good care of me and she was awseome. Would definitely go back !!

place was vibin'

All we wanted was a plate of nachos and it took an hour.

(Translated by Google) Good atmosphere. Private retirement party. Pleasant and helpful staff. Great music (Original) Bonne ambiance. Fête privé de retraite. Personnel agréable et serviable. Super musique

Place sucks

(Translated by Google) Not bad a good experience. The drinks are still good. I can't say much about the vibe as I left around 11 p.m., and that's where most of the world arrives. (Original) Pas mal une bonne expérience. Les drinks sont quand même bons. Je peux pas dire beaucoup sur l'ambiance car je suis partie vers 11 p.m., et c'est la que la plupart du monde arrive.

The club was alright went on a night when it wasn't extremely packed but there was still a good amount of people there.

Worst service of all time

(Translated by Google) Good evening beautiful dancers (Original) Bonne soirée belle danseuses

(Translated by Google) Great Wednesday humor show! And very nice place (Original) Super show mercredis de l'humour! Et endroit très sympa

Awesome spot loved it here
