during the night when it turns into like a club, i mean its great but the jacket service and the doorman did not do a great job at keeping the jackets safe, my jacket was taken and along my debit card and airpods. I dont recommend hanging your jacket there as they would most likely get stolen. i will never enter that place again.

Found this restaurant in an online list of hotspots. Went there with my laptop but when I asked the waitress how to connect to the hotspot, she instead confiscated my place setting entirely including place mat, knife spoon and fork. She then removed the menu as well and glass of water. She also refused to serve me and I got nothing. I addressed my concerns to the restaurant management in the form of a fax sent regularly (especially during their busy times) for a period of several years, but they never answered. Well, whadd'ya know?

2022 June update Came here with a small group for Friday happy hour. They seem to have band playing from 5-7 pm weekly. ( see their Facebook postings) nice modern patio furniture thru out. As it locates in the middle of old Hull, easy access to everywhere. Outdoor terrace seem like a permanent structure with a large awning expanding the Whole terrace. Band backs to the street so quite a few people stop their tracks on the street to listen as well. Service: excruciating slow. Waitress seemed to be stressed out even terrace was less than half occupied. Ordering and receiving orders are both time consuming; I guess after pandemic we should be grateful. However , I would have been happy to order from the bar but I was told to go back and sit down…….. After 6:30 pm the place started to get more than half full outdoor. It was a nice setting and ambiance. Just wished the service was better and more swift. Cheers.

Terrible experience. Actual waiter was great, but I had my lovely evening interrupted by this manager that stormed up to this other young group demanding for a tip, and saw her pushing them, despite hearing them explain that it was a misunderstanding. Manager was very unreasonable and aggressive. She was also being very covid irresponsible; having her mask down and getting in peoples faces. This issue (that particular worker) should be taken care of ASAP if this place would like returning and happy customers and without health and safety issues.

Good side room for our group, good selection of local beers, friendly service. The electric heaters on the ceiling were either on full and too hot, or off and then it was cold. The music also was turned up very loud which made it hard to talk.

★★★★

Great ambiance and good music. The selection of beers is a little more extensive than usual. However, the service can be a little not attentive, because of the quantity of people. In summer it has a place to go outside, and in winter it is covered so you can still have the sensation of "going outside". It's a nice bar to go with friends!

My favorite pub in Gatineau. Place is lively but not crazy, the summer patio is great. It's a good place to have some drinks with friends or with a significant other. the kitchen closed really early but there's tons of other places to eat in the area.

[English follows] Bar ideally located in the heart of Old Hull and with a large terrace where you can sit comfortably to have a drink and chat. That said, the chatting part must end fairly quickly at the start of the evening at least on Friday because the volume of the DJs music is especially conducive to monosyllabic exchanges and consumption. Perhaps a way to keep customers with gray temples at bay Bar ideally located in the heart of Vieux-Hull, with a large terrace where you can sit comfortably to have a drink and chat. That said, the chatting part has to end pretty quickly in the early evening at least on Fridays because the volume of the DJs music is mostly conducive to monosyllabic exchanges and consumption. Maybe a way to keep the gray-headed customers at bay...

Disappointing to be asked if you want a drink only to be told 5 minutes later that you have to leave because there was a special event. Sad management and sad establishment. sorry, 4th Thursday used to be a good place, now we dont really care about the customer. I will not return there again and will recommend everyone not to return there again. the least we could have done was to refund the beers or not offer a final drink. What incompetence in customer service.

Is it possible that the place could be even noisier, its astonishing. You must shout to the person in front of you. And just nod to the world beyond as if you had heard them, because you will hardly hear them. The place could use more toilets. Can it get more nosier then this, its crazy. You have to yell to the person in front of you. And just nod your head to the people further as if you would have heard them, because you wont hear them. There could be more toilets too.

Festive atmosphere but unpleasant smell (very dirty floor)

December 22, 2019

Very disgusting the tables are always sticky. The staff are rude and unprofessional. It took awhile for the guy to even take our order yet he took other people who got there after before ours. They expect a tip, my friend bought our first rounds and the barman at bar 2(the outside one) said no tip nice very similar along those lines. I like tipping at the end of my night due to your service not due to you have to tip me cause I m a bar man . I work and get tips too I don t expect it because honestly good service should happen without tips, they re just a nice extra. Also we literally just got our first drink which tasted like juice btw and he made it before we even paid. Overall very rude and no wonder why the ill functioning bar is outside and not the first one you see. Management should really get ahold of their employees. Probably the worst bar in Gatineau and would only suggest to go to watch the chaos and get drinks from next door.

The spot for the 5-7 professional crowd on the Quebec side of the river. A tad small and crowded in the winter however when the huge outdoors terrace is closed. 4 stars as an after work watering hole in the summer, only 3 in the winter. Dont expect food. Its strictly a watering hole for all intents and purposes.

Aux quatre jeudis - Café Bar in Gatineau, our experience was terrible, we were with my wife, last Saturday, we were never attended. The people who were at the bar, saw us, but never took our order. We wait for 15 minutes, disastrous service. It is clear that if you are the friend of the owner, they will attend you. If you are a tourist, do not waste your time in Aux quatre jeudis. It is simply a club of friends in Gatineau. It is not for people or couples, who do not belong to their circle of friends. They should improve their customer service and attention to the tables.

One of the off-duty members (Max) accused me of being high on cocaine in order to kick myself and a friend out of the bar. The bouncer then tried to manhandle us out of the bar despite the fact that paying customers were willing to leave the bar - we were then verbally denigrated in French by various staff members (I guess they thought we didnt speak French). Quote of the night by an off-duty staff member - why did you guys come across the bridge - despite the fact that me and my friend both live in Gatineau! EDIT: You guys still offered a disingenuous apology. All you had to do was admit that your staff was very much in the wrong. Additionally, we stuck around until 2:25 since your staff escalated it so much - I would have happily left minutes after closing time if I hadnt been accused of being high on cocaine, or if I wasnt aggressively manhandled by your bouncing staff, or if I wasnt cursed out in French and discriminated against as an Anglophone - ironically I live in Gatineau, but yes, English is my primary language. When customers file complaints and members of your own staff recognize that your bar was in the wrong it is disheartening to see the management reinforce a stubborn approach to customer relations instead of conceding that yes, your staff escalated the situation and that that was entirely unacceptable. Who knows if you even dealt with your staff accordingly - Ill never be back to know. I already pulled down reviews on multiple platforms but Im keeping this one up. Way to double down on a flawed apology buddy. Shaking hands and saying sorry does not make up for accusing patrons of being high on hard drugs - especially when seconds later your staff turns around and insults said patrons further. My father died from cocaine-related health issues - you do not understand how childish and hurtful your staffs comment were considering my familial history. Continue to double down though and insinuate that it was my friends and I who were completely in the wrong. Ridiculous.
