La Tulipe, Performing arts building in Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, Canada.

La Tulipe is a performance hall at 4530 Papineau Avenue in the Plateau Mont-Royal, housed in the former Théâtre des Variétés, a building erected between 1913 and 1919 to plans by architect Joseph-Arthur Godin for Confederation Amusement Limited. The orchestra pit was originally a baptismal basin installed when the Jehovah's Witnesses used the hall as Emmanuel Church.

Built between 1913 and 1919 to plans by architect Joseph-Arthur Godin for Confederation Amusement Limited, the theatre opened as a cinema, was adapted for sound films in 1929, hosted burlesque troupes from 1932, and served briefly as the Emmanuel Church of Jehovah's Witnesses before Gilles Latulippe bought it in 1967. He ran the Théâtre des Variétés there until 2000; the hall was renamed La Tulipe in 2004 and classified as heritage property in 2001.

The name La Tulipe, adopted in 2004, honours comedian Gilles Latulippe, who ran the Théâtre des Variétés here from 1967 to 2000. The hall now stages rock, francophone song, jazz and variety shows; Dumas was the first act after the rename, followed by The Libertines, The Faint, TV on the Radio and Bloc Party.

La Tulipe stands at 4530 avenue Papineau in Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, on the stretch of Papineau near avenue du Mont-Royal. The building is a classified heritage property, so its facade and interior layout are protected. In May 2023 the Superior Court of Quebec ordered the venue to reduce noise after a neighbour's complaint, and on 23 September 2024 the Court of Appeal ruled it must stop all sound produced by speakers audible in the adjacent housing block.

In May 2023 the Superior Court of Quebec ordered La Tulipe to reduce its noise after a neighbour complained; the plaintiff then appealed, and on 23 September 2024 the Court of Appeal ruled the hall must stop all sound made with loudspeakers audible in the adjacent apartment building. The case pushed Plateau-Mont-Royal to revise its noise bylaw.
