“We’re two Nova Scotia moms in town for the Canadian Ringette Championship, and we ended up coming back to this restaurant FOUR nights in a row—which really says it all! Every visit was consistently amazing. We tried the steak sandwich, steak bites, French Onion soup, burgers, and the fish and chips (which were amazing). Everything was fresh, delicious, and exactly what we needed after long days at the rink. But the absolute highlight of our experience was Leslie. She is truly one of the best servers we’ve ever had—so warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. By the end of our week, we felt like we had made a new friend. Getting to know her was such a treat, and she made each visit even more special. Amazing food, incredible service, and an experience that kept us coming back night after night. Thank you for making our time here so memorable—especially you, Leslie! 💙”

“My son Evan took me to lunch yesterday and it was a 10/10. Great meal and afterwards when our waiter found out it was my birthday, he brought over a menu with numerous choices for a complimentary dessert. I chose the cheesecake and it arrived with a beautiful blueberry sauce, a sparkler and message of best wishes!! 😮 It was amazing and if that wasn’t enough, he also gave me a birthday card from all the restaurant staff. Not a, "from all of us here at Chop", everyone had signed it personally!! Also included was a business card with a voucher for complimentary steak bites on the other side. They went above and beyond, it was truly appreciated and I wanted to share that Chop Hunt Club will take good care of you!!! ✅✅✅✅✅”

A huge thank you to the waitress especially, the staff as a whole and a huge high-five to the chefs for clearly putting your all in to every single menu item.

“Tonight there was a group of men promoting white supremacy and confederate flags in Maclarens. They confirmed this verbally to us when we asked about their shirt. When we told the manager in an attempt to help their business and let them know what kind of space they are promoting and allowing, and that they were losing us as customers, they said "their money is green". They told us loudly that they do not care. BOYCOTT THIS BAR IF YOU ARE ANTI-SLAVERY, ANTI-WHITE SUPREMACY. PS I do not know why this shows as me recommending the place. NO I DO NOT RECOMMEND. 0/5”

37 Bar Dumas

5.0 Superb 4 Reviews

60 Rue Dumas, Gatineau · 7.11 miles

“If you're looking for a laid-back spot with a lot of character, look no further than this dive bar. Tucked away in a corner of the city, it has a gritty and unpolished vibe that gives it a unique charm. The low lighting and eclectic decor, including vintage beer signs and mismatched bar stools, make it a great spot to relax and unwind. The drinks are affordable and generously poured, with a good selection of beers on tap and classic cocktails made to perfection. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable, and they make an effort to remember regulars' orders and strike up conversations with patrons. The jukebox has a great selection of old-school rock and roll tunes that add to the overall atmosphere of the bar. The crowd is a mix of regulars and newcomers, and everyone is welcoming and non-judgmental, making it a great spot for meeting new people or just enjoying a night out with friends. Overall, if you're looking for a cool little dive bar with a lot of personality and a laid-back vibe, this is definitely the spot for you. It's the perfect place to unwind after a long day or spend a fun night out with friends.”

Always a great time, playing darts, shooting pool, sittin with friends having a few cold ones and heading there on the weekends to listen to what ever band was playing and dancing the night away. I will have to go back there and do some reminiscing over a cold beer the next time I am back up that way. GOOD TIMES!!”
