UPDATE BELOW: Renard has been my go-to bar for more than a year. I’ve had great memories there with my friends, enjoying the music and the drinks. But on Saturday night, November 29th, 2025, something happened that completely shocked me.
I ordered a drink, and the bartender—the only female staff member working that night—handed me the card machine showing a $30 charge. When I tried to politely correct her, she gave it back to me with a $40 charge instead. I literally asked, with all the politeness in the world and a big smile on my face, “Why am I paying this much for one glass?”
All of a sudden, she exploded at me—yelling and screaming that I had ordered three drinks and then added another one. She then slammed the card machine onto the bar so hard that it probably broke. Her reaction honestly made me feel scared.
*Update for the replay: Thank you for following up on this matter. In fact, none of the points raised are accurate, and I would like to clarify the situation with specific facts.
* The security guard asked me to stay until the end of the night so he could speak with her at closing and then return to me. I was not waiting for her—you can verify this with him. He was the one who accepted my complaint while the other coworker, Jules, was rude to me, trying to cover for her by suggesting I report him instead. *The common-sense question here is: Why did she think I was waiting for her? And the answer is crystal clear.
* You mentioned the issue started when I changed my order, but who said there was an issue if she claims she was the nicest person to me? And apparently, I hadn’t even responded with a single word—was it the table or chairs that went mad and started the issue? * I do not know what the cameras show, but I have two friends who were with me and felt unsafe watching her hit the card machine on the bar—it was audible even on a busy Saturday night. They can verify this. * I have no reason to make up stories. Bar Renard has always been my favorite place to party, enjoy my preferred drinks, and unwind, my only problem is the bad behavior and attitude from this particular bartender.

Going out for cocktails after work was very well deserved! We wanted to try this bar and its patio over the Summer but it was always packed, giving us the impression that this was a place to be and to have a good time. Yes we did and very much enjoyed our drinks on a nice (still warm) mid September evening. Friendly staff 👍
This is a nice place where we visited multiple times on our vacation. I found the serving size of the Naan Carbonara to be disappointing for the price, but it was good. Servers were friendly, and super busy.

Pretty bad first impression. Went in 15 mins after they opened (3:15) and the door was still locked… odd but whatever sometimes it happens. But then it became apparent that nothing and no one was prepared for service. Kitchen not ready to get orders, bar with no ice, no music, no chairs down off the table. Was truly odd. There were soooo many flies which was turn off as well. With enough experience in the industry I decided to leave since I realized it was not going to be a fun experience.
Then I took a look at their most recent reviews and OUF the responses from the owner/manager is just terrible. I was excited to eat and drink at this bar for the first time but seems it’s taking a steady decline, too bad truly as it has potential. I may give them a second chance if I’m ever in the village again, but I’m apprehensive to say the least.

I’ve been to Bar Le Renard several times, and unfortunately, the gin & tonics have been consistently disappointing. On multiple occasions, they were made with soda water instead of tonic water. This completely changes the drink and shows a lack of attention to preparation. Very frustrating, especially after giving them more than one chance.

The vibes are immaculate and the DJ is on point. What else can a man ask for.
