Review Summary

Grumpys Bar comes across as a lively yet laid back downtown Montreal pub with a super cozy ambiance and consistently fresh beer. The crowd is described as friendly and most regulars are easygoing, while the staff can appear gruff but are professional and welcoming. The focus is on drinks and atmosphere rather than food, with good beer, great music, and occasional TV moments like The Wire on TV. It is regarded as a local staple that stands apart from nearby tourist spots, appealing to locals and professionals who value a divey, unpretentious vibe. The vibe can require knowing what to expect in advance and may not be for everyone, but it remains a beloved neighborhood hangout with a classic, affordable feel and strong local character.

Have to know the vibe in advance or enjoy that type of bar scene. Not for everyone, but it's served by friendly staff & most regulars are the same.
It's a Montreal downtown staple bar for locals. Definitely not the same vibe as the tourist spots a block over.

Holy Moley this place is Fantastic! The staff & other patrons are all wonderful people. Although I think Nick the bartender cheats at arm wrestling . Will be my go-to spot whenever I'm in Montreal. Trivia night was a blast (thanks Michael) . No food so we ordered pizza delivery from our favourite place. Amazing spot! Sparky

Down to earth bar with a very "canadian" feel (at least for a european). Open mic night was a good opportunity to hear small scale artists.
