History
Le Stud opened in 1996.[6]
In 2007, Audrey Vachon filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Quebec.[7][8][9] According to the bar's owner, Michel Gadoury, women have not been allowed since the bar's establishment in order to provide masculine environment to its clientele.[10][11] Vachon's discrimination complaint was settled in 2008. The terms were not disclosed, but the commission concluded that "businesses have the right to attract a particular clientele but not to discriminate by excluding other customers".[12]
