The beers are mainly from microbreweries and will change frequently, but will be locally produced as much as possible. There is also a short list of excellent signature cocktails, conceived by Katherine Cassie Roy. What to drink? They have more than ten beers on offer, available in a glass, pint or pitcher. The decor of Bar Le Record is reminiscent of a large living room you have the impression of entering someone’s home for the evening. Everything has been designed with this in mind: enjoying a good drink, whether alone or with friends. In their space of more than sixty seats, the large round bar also takes an important place in the decor and invites you to sit and order. The choice of materials and the design of the space were primarily thought out by the designers at Appareil Architecture. The bar’s decor is polished: lots of smooth surfaces, a lot of wood, high and low tables, and obviously a lot of vinyl. The location of the bar is a former uniform store that has been completely redone.

“We are two guys from Rosemont, we had something to offer more east of the Plateau! We also felt there was a demand for a neighbourhood bar, and we really think there’s room for it in Villeray.” These are at the heart of the bar’s visual identity (done with Don Carlo) just like the logo, there are many elegant curved lines throughout the bar. “The Record is a direct link to vinyl records. “He wanted to open a place where he could finally play his vinyl, and I have 100 percent the same passion for the music of those years as he does…” The bar’s impressive vinyl collection consists mainly of rock and soul music from the 50s and 60s, which adds a uniquely charming atmosphere to the space. Stéphane is a music lover and has a collection of more than 2500 vinyl records! It is his personal collection that can be found at the bar. “We each have our strengths, in the office and on the floor, and we are both very dynamic,” says François. Why vinyl?īar Le Record is owned by Stéphane Brunet (who has worked in bars for more than 20 years) and François Gadbois (a comedian, who also works in real estate). Bar Le Record is a charming neighbourhood vinyl bar that opened in September 2016 and celebrates the music of the 50s and 60s.
