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.
Sat there on the patio for 7-8 minutes waiting for service, The place was empty & all I could hear is French accents arguing. So I just left. Strike #2 of my Village experience.
Dive bar if dive bars weren't seedy & gross. Pretty clean, comfy seating, beautiful spot of the city in the warm seasons. Wheelchair accessible in warm seasons only, due to the outdoor seating having a ramp to go up the curb steps. VERY queer LGBTQ+ welcoming Unisex, open, safe bathrooms All orders are pay-as-they're-served, which feels cheapo, but honestly makes this SO easy when a big group, & when ya wanna head out you just go.
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.
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.
Très belle soirée dans ce bar! J'ai pris le plateau charcuterie & fromage délicieux, utilise un peu d'autres trucs pour remplir mais acceptable pour le prix, pour les boissons j'ai pris le mango sour c'était délicieux! J'ai également pris un verre de mojjitos qui goûtait un peu trop la limonade pour moi mais très bon quand même! Service très efficace & sympathique je recommande!
Nous avons passé un très bon moment dans cet endroit où les cocktails sont très bons. Le service est très agréable. Pour la première fois, un peu difficile de trouver l'endroit car il n'y a pas de grande pancarte l'indiquant.
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!
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
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.
