Last Saturday, I experienced a very discouraging, embarrassing, & extremely uncomfortable situation.
Two customers decided to take the seat of a friend of mine who had been there for several hours. She was sitting at the bar, & they used the excuse of buying a drink to take her seat. They then started laughing at her, mocking her, & treating her disrespectfully. I honestly don't know whether it was xenophobia or something else, but the situation was extremely unpleasant.
The bartender then decided to ask my friends & me to leave the bar. The security woman, who was extremely rude, aggressive, unprofessional, & unwilling to de-escalate the situation, even pushed one of my friends while forcing him out of the bar.
I don't know whether employees there are allowed to mistreat customers, drink alcohol, or become intoxicated or use drugs alongside customers, but that was certainly the impression the situation gave us.
Terrible bar. I had been there several times before, but I will not be going back. I certainly cannot recommend this place, & I intend to share my experience publicly because it is unacceptable that, in a city as open & diverse as this one, customers can be treated this way & concerns about possible xenophobic behavior are handled so poorly.
.....
The bartender was waiting for the two of us to clear our chairs... he laughed & insulted me for no reason. & the security guard was awful & disrespectful... & someone pushed me, another waiter... what if we check the clarifications & see what happened? Can we do that? Are they free of blame?
Would've given zero but they were highly racist towards my partner that waited for over 20mins at the bar for a drink while the bartender in the red bralette on 1st august, 2026, kept serving others before him & spoke rudely. Horrible end to the night. Wouldn't go here again.
One of the friendliest bartenders I've ever met. Awesome little place, I wish we were hungry because the food menu looks great. All of the drinks were perfect

The bartender literally canceled the payment when I clicked on No tip (No Mercy) & put it again saying you can't buy without tipping & I did trip (again)!! It's so rude never again to this place I did tip on previous drinks but you can't force me to tip on all of them! This's not only rude it's illegal.
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.
Paris attitude seems out of order in Montreal but unfortunately we have been seeing more of it lately !! - The bartender handed me my drink after another staff member had thrown a straw in it to taste my drink.- I complained & was ignored....little did they know that I had arrived early to host 14 other friends for a double birthday celebration.......I re-directed my guests to another Bar where we had a fabulous time. - Renard is now blacklisted ! - Regarding Renard reply: the practice of tasting customers drinks is unacceptable & plain Rude ! You can choose your policies & we can pick where to spend our money....not at Renard for sure !
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!
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.
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.
