Taverne le Chic Regal

La Chic Régal is an unapologetic time capsule, one that stubbornly clings to the spirit of what a good dive bar can be. With its wood-panelled walls and a smattering of hockey pennants, this tavern stands defiant, hosting generations of gritty stories and sloshed patrons. Under the grimy patina, you’ll find laminated newspaper clippings and battered beer signs, remnants of simpler, saltier days. Drinks come cheap, and don’t expect wine lists or mixology here—their “fancy” menu is a nod to nostalgia. The crowd’s a mix: old-timers glued to the bar, younger outliers, and a server whose easy charm just fits.
