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.
