Although its name means restraint, this game bar in the Côte-des-Neiges district invites you to do just the opposite. It is in a more than festive atmosphere that the employees of La Retenue welcome you. Open every day until 3am, you can enjoy their pool and foosball tables, or show off your singing skills and have fun with karaoke. This neighborhood bar is also known for its comfort food menu with a wide variety of poutine.

Pire expérience que j'ai eu dans un bar, le bartender de la semaine passé était *très* gelé sur la poudre, criait sur les clients, punchait sur les comptoirs comme un enfant & emmenait une atmosphère très aggressive.. il a même sorti un tuyau en métal pour menacer des gens de les frapper parce qu'ils FUMAIEANT SUR LA TERRASSE!!!
Gardez votre argent & allez à littéralement n'importe quel autre bar.

La Retenue, tsé c'est le dive bar efficace par excellence : il coche toutes les cases de ce qu'on attend d'un endroit du genre. Musique sympa, staff courtois, machines de jeu, grande salle au sous-sol, événements réguliers… & surtout, de la bière à prix raisonnable. Bref un incontournable à avoir sur sa liste des bars de Côte-des-Neiges !

Bar de quartier, vraiment rien d'exceptionnel, les prix sont tout de même attractifs, la serveuse quant à elle, était vraiment désagréable.

This was a nice discovery! I had walked by it many times but finally went in to give it a try. It's a nice little place with an upstairs & downstairs portion. They most likely open up the lower section when it gets full upstairs. They have a good selection of beers on tap & can make you any kind of liquor drinking they have the ingredients. The staff was friendly too. Nice little deck outside if you don't mind the traffic on Cote des Neiges. 👍😎

Good service, the staff was friendly & professional. Prices were ok for the beers, & particularly interesting on event nights.

Tiny terrasse, close to Côte-des-neiges street, so very noisy (3-4 fire trucks, 2-3 ambulances, & big trucks). A lot of people smoking cigarettes right besides also, less than 1m away.

No food is served, but you can bring your own to eat there.
