Pow Pow might be pitched as a Latin club, but in reality, it’s more of a no-frills college bar with a packed dance floor and a soundtrack that skews heavily toward early 2000s club anthems. Tucked into Saint-Denis Street, the place draws a younger crowd looking for cheap drinks, familiar beats, and an easygoing vibe—no cover, no attitude at the door, just a tight space that fills up fast as the night goes on. Expect a rotating lineup of DJs spinning electro, house, and the occasional hip-hop or pop throwback, but don’t come expecting a full-on salsa night.
