Edit: I've been here a few more times since the first, when I made this review, & am now changing my review after hearing from friends & experiencing myself a lot of homophobia & rudeness from staff & other patrons as of late. IDing & asking the only visibly queer people to leave if they are not drinking alcohol & saying they are'sleeping' is crazy. This is definitely losing its reputation as a lesbian bar & I'm really disappointed.
Old review: Great drinks & such a friendly bartending staff. Queer night crowds are so kind & comfortable to be around. Bar staff was accomodating & so kind!!
Very inaccessible
I've seen several disabled people have to get piggy back rides just so they can enter & exit the venue. Disabled people deserve to go out & have fun & dance like anybody else.
Accessibility shouldn't be an afterthought, especially in a place that peddles itself as welcoming to everyone
The venue itself is alright (though leans very very white) & I quite like several bartenders. But I can't stop thinking about how those patrons must feel
The bartender was almost as pretty as her cocktail creations. Really busy bar with attentive service. Think her name was em or something. Lgtv friendly. Can't wait to come back ;)
Micheal was amazing!!! Total sweetheart but Cat was… something. She was already drunk ( à manager btw) , then she got really aggressive with me for no reason but again micheal being the Angel that he is just had a drink with me & calmed me down. We talked & I went home. Overall it's a great bar but just be careful with Cat/Kat, other than that amazing people. 4 stars only for Micheal
I am in love with this place ! The people are super nice, the service is great & the atmosphere is perfect.
They have pool tables & plenty of space to sit & talk & make new friends. I highly recommend coming here, & they're super queer friendly.
I'll definitely be coming back.
I had fun but those saloon bathroom doors are so dangerous & heavy I witnessed I girl get smacked in the face & have a huge bruise & bump after. They're way too fast & kind of useless.
My favourite bar in the city. Best described by the two neon signs they have:'Sports' &'Lesbians'
Was there for the four nations finals, the staff made it memorable, thank you!
Très surprise de constater la quantité de commentaires non pas juste négatif mais exécrable. Je vais à Champs toute les semaines & y passe toujours de super moments. C'est vrai que des fois c'est bondé & que pour jouer au billard il faut attendre, mais c'est tout.
L'endroit est très accueillant & chaleureux, il y'a beaucoup de place pour s'asseoir & tout est très propre. Les prix sont très abordable & malgré le monde on n'attend jamais sa commande très longtemps.
Les serveurs sont très gentil quand on est sympa avec eux en retour.
C'est comme partout, il ne faut pas s'étonner de se faire virer d'un endroit si on ne respecte pas les gens y travaillant…
I wish dyke night would come back on Mondays. line dancing night was a lot of fun though!
I love champs so much. Every time I go here for queer events I have an amazing time. From markets, to drag shows, queer line dancing to even sports nights this place hosts a variety of events anyone would love! I'm especially a fan/regular for their spurs line dancing nights & the vibes are always on point. The staff is super friendly & this has become my go to bar in the city. (The addition of AC also is such a win for dance nights lol)
I got a beer here & it smelled like chemicals & had bits floating in it.
My friends & I went here after Osheaga on a Saturday. The bartenders were super friendly & the DJ played some killer 90s/early 2000s throwbacks. I felt very comfortable as a queer person. It's a sports bar but certainly doesn't feel like the typical boring subdued bar.
