Review Summary

Grumpys Bar is widely regarded as a staple Montréal institution known for its authentic, unpretentious, and cozy atmosphere that feels like a home away from home. The establishment is celebrated for its friendly staff, fresh beer, and vibrant local community feel, featuring regular live music events like bluegrass nights and open mics. While some visitors suggest improvements like heating for the outdoor area or note that the drink selection might not suit everyone's personal taste, the overall consensus highlights a genuine, dive-bar experience that offers great service and a welcoming environment for both locals and travelers.

Not a good environment whatsoever. The bartender ignored me & my friends alll night. But more importantly the open mic night was incredibly sexist & only allowed men on stage. When we complained & asked when our friend would be up next, the guy in charge caressed her arm & told her that she'll be called when she's called & that the order of the sign up list didn't matter. When we began to grab our stuff & go the man called her name but we were already upset & leaving so we told him she wouldn't be going up. The man then proceeded to blame her for not performing & was saying negative things about her over the microphone. Anywho I'd only go if I were a man & didn't care about how women were treated.
