You say you're open, but we arrived on a Wednesday at 10:30 PM and you were closed. We drove half an hour to get here. Update your hours!

The place remains generally pleasant, with an open atmosphere and a natural integration into the fabric of the other bars in the neighborhood. The welcoming atmosphere makes it a pleasant place to go out and have a good time. The clientele is fairly homogeneous, and the venue regularly participates in events like Pride, which contributes to its visibility and dynamism. Overall, it's a lively space that fits well with its festive surroundings.

We hadn't been to Pulse before, but honestly, the atmosphere was fantastic! The clientele was amazing. And a huge thank you to Loann for her delicious "Sex on the Beach" cocktails 😉. We'll definitely be back!

The service is anything but friendly or welcoming if you're not French. The decor is awful, enough to make you want to gouge your eyes out and stomp on them right there. The music is questionable, and the cleanliness is only tolerable in very, very low light.
