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.
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 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)
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.
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.
bonne ambiance, les drinks sont absolument deg on dirait que les barmaids improvise pour jouer au billard c'est compliquer tellement il y a de monde. j'ai commander une bière en me disant que ça pouvait pas être deg ça goûtais le cidre. Bar a fuir.
The community space & welcoming atmosphere drew us in from the street! The bartenders are STELLAR, welcoming & informative! Thankful we plopped up those stairs!
