    Music was repetitive. The same artist playing all night on spotify. The server made me feel bad when I did not leave tips with the card when it was on the table. They only care about the regulars. The owner is super nice but she need to train the staff to cater to customers, not just their friends.

    Absolutely the best local, cozy welcoming bar in town! Fantastic, interesting owner, Ms. Lily is a delightful and happy lady who takes great pride in her place. The building is older, clean and has a very authentic feel. Some homemade food offerings are worth trying.. delicious hummus, breads, etc. Best part is the jazz quartet on Tuesday night. A modest charge for live music from a great group of musicians! A gem in Quebec!

    The bartender made me fall in love with this city more than I already had. So friendly and warm. She shared her favorite Quebec gins with us, it was such a great experience. Awesome jazz music later in the night. Definitely a dive that's an actual gem.

    Really friendly local bar with live music and good beer. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The live music was really good fun. They pass around a hat at the interval for tips so make sure you bring cash.

    Cute little bar with affordable drinks. The crowd during our visit was mostly middle age.

  • 2/5 Leo T. 2 years ago on Google
    No live band, VERY slow service...one waitress for the whole place, waited on the patio for 20 minutes, eventually had to go inside to order, and she brought out our bill before our drinks?

    It's my first time at Quebec city. The service and ambience was really good. It was a positive experience for me and would be going back here whenever I visit the city again

  • 5/5 kaley c. 5 years ago on Google
    After the amazing party on Grande Allée for New Year's eve, we ended up at this little bar to celebrate a friend's birthday! What an awsome way to end the night. 80s music dance floor just for the occasion, friendly staff although the huge rush and the owner herself was right there at the door to greet us. If ever you're in Quebec city on New Year's eve, you must join the party here!

  • 5/5 The H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly, we found it on a live layed back music night. It's a bar/pub very much in the European style. They served food, snacks, etc with reasonable prices. Try the Tortillon (Salted Cheese) it was different! They had a good selection of beers/lagers including a blonde pilsner. They even served Grolsch! A good find as we weaved our way back from "Old Quebec".........

    Great hangout bar! From USA and was welcomed and taken care of in a friendly relaxed way. Good to find a nice place outside the tourist mecca.

    live in D.C. area, hadn't been to Montreal or Quebec for 40 years, got on board the train form D.C. 3 a.m. The manager of my B.B. on Grande Alle took me to the Fou-Bar OMG, incredible want to move and rent an apt. upstairs

  • 5/5 Aditya B. 2 years ago on Google
    Cozy little neighborhood bar. Seating is limited, and they have good beers from popular local Quebec breweries on tap and in bottles. Boreale, La Barberie are the two I can remember. No food.

  • 5/5 Justin R. 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastic beers, friendly patrons and terrace is a must see!

  • 5/5 Chris S. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Kimia A. 5 years ago on Google
    We arrived at 11pm in Quebec city and this bar was almost the only one who had something to eat. The lady working there was very nice and served quite well

  • 5/5 Nicholle M. 2 years ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Great neighborhood bar! Set in an old horse and carriage garage dating back to the 1800’s. Great selection of beers and spirits. Staff was knowledgeable and creative with speciality drinks. We will definitely go back when we visit Quebec again!
