About this place Bar Renard

Bar Renard, at 1272 Sainte‑Catherine Street East in Montreal’s Village, is a cocktail‑focused gay bar that locals use to kick off their evenings, with a stylish room and a mainly gay‑male crowd. Bar Renard sits at 1272 Sainte‑Catherine Street East, right in Montreal’s Village. The space feels like a cocktail lounge more than a club, and the regulars are mostly gay men from the area. Locals say it’s a good spot to start the night. The bar opens at 3 pm and stays open until 1 am, with an extra hour on Friday and Saturday nights. If you drop by in the early evening, you’ll find plenty of time for a relaxed chat. The place gets crowded on weekends before people head to the Village’s dance clubs. Food is on the menu earlier in the day, but the kitchen’s hours can change. Check bar‑renard.com or ask the staff before you go to see if it’s open. Beaudry station is a short walk away, and the bar’s website lists upcoming events. The vibe is laid‑back, and the cocktail menu keeps things interesting.

The terrace is spacious and very comfortable, making it the perfect place to relax. The staff is wonderful, attentive, and always ready to help whenever you need anything. The sharing plates are generous and pair perfectly with a drink. A special mention for the Spritz cocktails, which are excellent. A great spot that I highly recommend!
