Review Summary

Bar Renard is described as a lively, stylish spot in the Village with a central bar and a club like vibe, a welcoming yet sometimes crowded space that shines on warm evenings thanks to a terrace and good music, DJ sets, and friendly staff praised for going above and beyond. The drinks and cocktails receive mixed marks, with many praising creativity and quality while a number of experiences note drinks can be flat or watered down and the service can be slow or distracted when the venue is busy. Food offerings garner mixed feelings, with nachos and other options noted as solid, though portions or value for money are questioned in some dishes. Overall, the ambiance, social energy and the sense of place draw regulars and visitors alike, though ventilation, cleanliness and occasional busy service temper the experience.

This is a really nice gay bar, probably the best one I went to in Montreal. They have a wide range of drinks, a great atmosphere, & good music.

The food used to be great when they first opened, & the drinks are consistently good with a nice selection of cocktails, spirits, & bubbles. However, the staff is hit or miss; some are very kind & professional, while others are fake & extremely mean. I had a particularly bad experience where two clients were arguing next to me. The barman, in front of everyone including my friends, grabbed my glass of champagne & started screaming at me. This was despite one of the arguing clients apologizing for pushing me. His ego was so high that he ignored everyone, including his colleagues, who pointed out I wasn't involved. We ended up leaving because I wanted to call the police after he spilled the champagne on me. I met with one of the owners who was sincerely apologetic, but the service recovery was lacking. I wasn't offered a reimbursement for my drink (which I did not even want), nor did the barman apologize; I just wanted an acknowledgment of the rude behavior. While the place can be enjoyable, if you are mistreated, there are other spots. I hope they improve their hiring process to get kinder staff. PS: I used to be a regular.

Before & After drinks before a Show at the classic l'Olympic Theatre. Situated in the village, it caters to all who cross its threshold. Wonderful staff & good selection of drinks. Clean & genderless bathrooms. This is a genuine adult safe space for drinks & meeting others.

I love renard! The atmosphere & drinks are 10/10, but what really makes it special are the friendly staff, particularly Jeremy & Bruno. I always feel well taken care of when I visit. They make sure I stay safe ❤️ it wouldn't be the same without them for sure!
