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.

Very small bar with limited space. Drinks were ok, nothing special. They dont take reservations either. Kind of like a club bar hybrid is what they are going for. Food was good. Service was good but the female waitress gave a bit of attitude at first when asking for a better table.

This is a lovely bar with a wonderful atmosphere. The bartenders were so nice & friendly going far above & beyond what I expect bartenders to do. The space is great to have conversation while still being noisy enough to be enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Bel endroit près de Berri-UQAM, avec une belle carte de cocktails & un DJ dynamique. Ambiance & atmosphère agréables.

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.
