Review Summary

Overall, Champs Bar is described as a lively, welcoming spot with an incredible bar atmosphere and a strong queer-friendly vibe that shines on game nights and during special events. Reviewers praise the bilingual friendliness, attentive service on many shifts, comfortable seating, pool tables, and affordable prices, making it easy to mingle and meet new people. The crowd is laid-back and inclusive, and the venue is often said to provide a great space to watch Canadiens games and enjoy the ambiance. However, there are caveats: inconsistency among bartenders, including instances of intoxication or poor attitudes that affected orders and mood, and reports of homophobia or rudeness on some evenings. Accessibility challenges are noted, with guests needing assistance to enter or navigate, and some safety concerns with heavy bathroom doors and crowded spaces. Overall, Champs Bar remains a great option for queer-friendly nightlife and sports viewing, with room for improvement in staff consistency, inclusivity on all nights, and accessibility.

I was there yesterday with some friends. The bartender was causing a commotion with some customers, accusing them of being aggressive & threatening others when they were simply sitting at a table having drinks. They then proceeded to kick them out, saying they'weren't part of the community.'

Honestly, I've been there multiple times, & there always seems to be an issue with the bartenders being discriminatory toward customers. This was one time too many. Isn't it supposed to be about accepting everyone?

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!!

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

Quintessential dive bar. Cheap, a lil dirty & lots of fun. Service is great. There's pool, affordable drinks, plenty of space & a cool crowd on weekends.
