Review Summary

Bar Renard is widely recognized as a vibrant and popular destination in the Village, celebrated for its electrifying atmosphere, stylish decor, and spacious terrace. Many patrons appreciate the friendly staff, delicious sharing plates, and creative cocktail menu, which often serves as a highlight of the experience. While the venue is praised for its inclusive and energetic vibe, feedback frequently points to challenges regarding the limited interior space, which can become crowded and hot during peak hours, as well as inconsistencies in service speed and drink quality. Despite occasional frustrations with wait times and cooling issues, many guests consider it a reliable and enjoyable spot for socializing, dancing, or relaxing with friends.

I really loved this bar! The crowd was incredibly welcoming, & Alexi, the bartender that night, truly made the experience special. He was warm, personable, & so friendly - excellent service all around.

Not a lot of choice but the wine was good. Went from cozy to very crowded in the span of 2 hours. We went for a 5@7

Personnellement, je n'ai rien contre le Renard, l'ambiance est sympa, la musique est bonne, le service est assez rapide pour la quantité de consommateurs vs. Le nombre d'employés, & en été la terrasse rajoute au charme de l'endroit.

Seul bémol, chaque fois que j'y ai commandé un verre (la plupart du temps un rhum&coke), j'ai plus souvent été déçu que satisfait, du fait que le drink était « flat » ( le pétillant du Coca-Cola est absent, accentuant le goût du rhum).

N'empêche, la place est souvent crowdy & entre amis, c'est l'un des beaux bars du Village à être :)

Really cool place with a younger crowd (at least when I went!). Awesome & kind staff, & drinks were fantastic! It was a fun & easy-going atmosphere. & whoever controls the music has excellent taste 😊

Renard Bar is a visually captivating spot, but the vibrant exterior hides an underwhelming experience within. With a relentless crowd & a bathroom scene that's better suited for another kind of gathering, it's hard to shake the feeling of discomfort. The bartenders, unfortunately, mirror the snail's pace of service, & the unceremonious 3 am cutoff doesn't leave much room for a leisurely evening. While the youthful clientele adds a certain energy, it's evident that Renard prioritizes profit over providing a truly enjoyable atmosphere. It's as if the place took the worst elements of nightlife & condensed them into a real-life Grinder experience.

Update from 2025*

I wish they hadn't changed the beautiful drawing on the bathroom wall.

I wish we could request a song.

I wish the waiters were friendlier instead of giving attitude.

I wish people didn't keep the doors locked for too long in the bathroom, & make others wait.

The night always depends on the DJ. When it's good, it's great & the crowd is fun. Fridays seem better than other nights. It can get too crowded but you can usually find your spot & have a great time with friends.

This is a real Go-To spot in The Village. Right across from the Beaudry Metro station it is busy with the after work crowd & stays that way as a meeting spot. DJ can be hit or miss. Bartenders are efficient.
