Bar Renard

UPDATE BELOW:
Renard has been my go-to bar for more than a year. I've had great memories there with my friends, enjoying the music & the drinks. But on Saturday night, November 29th, 2025, something happened that completely shocked me.

I ordered a drink, & the bartender-the only female staff member working that night-handed me the card machine showing a $30 charge. When I tried to politely correct her, she gave it back to me with a $40 charge instead. I literally asked, with all the politeness in the world & a big smile on my face,'Why am I paying this much for one glass?'

All of a sudden, she exploded at me-yelling & screaming that I had ordered three drinks & then added another one. She then slammed the card machine onto the bar so hard that it probably broke. Her reaction honestly made me feel scared.

*Update for the replay:
Thank you for following up on this matter. In fact, none of the points raised are accurate, & I would like to clarify the situation with specific facts.

* The security guard asked me to stay until the end of the night so he could speak with her at closing & then return to me. I was not waiting for her-you can verify this with him. He was the one who accepted my complaint while the other coworker, Jules, was rude to me, trying to cover for her by suggesting I report him instead.
*The common-sense question here is: Why did she think I was waiting for her? & the answer is crystal clear.

* You mentioned the issue started when I changed my order, but who said there was an issue if she claims she was the nicest person to me? & apparently, I hadn't even responded with a single word-was it the table or chairs that went mad & started the issue?
* I do not know what the cameras show, but I have two friends who were with me & felt unsafe watching her hit the card machine on the bar-it was audible even on a busy Saturday night. They can verify this.
* I have no reason to make up stories. Bar Renard has always been my favorite place to party, enjoy my preferred drinks, & unwind, my only problem is the bad behavior & attitude from this particular bartender.

Good drinks & good place to hang when they don't randomly crank up the music so loud that you can't talk to your friends at your table

Great service, amazing drinks. Music was a bit loud but I'm old so I think whispering is loud.

Visited on a Friday after 10pm. The music & staff (except for one) was amazing. Only thing I can say is this place is too good for the clientele it has.

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.

It feels much more like a club at night... don't go if you're expecting to sit down at a table. Really dark & music is really loud. Not pleasant for a conversation, so we left before we could orde
