Pub L'Oncle Antoine

The service at this bar was awesome, they spoke great English and were extremely friendly. It’s a really cool bar that was nice and quiet when we went. The cook has a small little kitchen for bar/apertizer meals and he manages to make them all fancy and great in taste. 100% recommend stopping by here. A shot, pint, 12 wings and a 20% tip came up to 35$, a lot cheaper than most other area in Quebec

A Must-Visit Gem in Old Quebec! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This pub is an absolute treasure! Tucked away in a charming old building made completely out of cobblestone, and an unassuming entrance, it feels like stepping back in time. The atmosphere is cozy, warm, and full of character—exactly what you’d hope for in Old Quebec. Now, the food… the French onion soup is simply to die for—rich, flavorful, and perfectly topped with gooey, golden cheese. Every bite was perfection. The rest of the menu is just as delightful, although limited as the focus is more on the drinks. There are also board games available and a big warm fireplace by the entrance. To top it off, the service is outstanding. The staff are welcoming, friendly, and genuinely make the experience even better. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick drink or a full meal, this place is an absolute must-visit. Can’t wait to come back!

Great as an extroverted tourist. During the busy winter season me and my partner went. We were seated with another couple and slowly made friends with the locals and other tourists. It’s one of the oldest places in Quebec City and is incredibly cozy. Must try the maple whiskey!

What? No rating for drinks? Beer gets 6 stars! Diverse beer styles, much more than web suggests. Service is great - great folks here. Food wasn't what was expected but turned out to be very good. I got mussels and pictured a hige bowl of Belgian mussels. A small jar of mussel meats were pickled and delicious, and served with a few nice small toasts. I don’t do IPAs. Menu has regular, traditional, special and funky brews. Everything I tried was excellent. Look me up on Untappd to see what I thought. Love La Barberie!

Staff were friendly helpful and fun. They spoke English. The beers were perfect and we also had a maple whisky shot which was smooth and delicious. The atmosphere is rustic and cozy with a wonderful fireplace. A perfect spot to rest up and refuel and warm up when exploring old Quebec

Hidden little gem, for today anyways. Not too busy and a very welcoming atmosphere when you walk in. It was so warm with the fire place going in this cold march weather. Very charming and cozy. Had a beer and shots of maple whiskey along with some very good French onion soup with the squeakiest cheese. Delicious. Come check out this pub it’s great.

Awesome find on a cold snowy night. This pub is older than America and so nice and kind to Americans! Catherine is a machine, never stops moving, so nice and such a great host! The European hot dog is amazing. Get the maple whiskey shot and a beer. Warm reception, great food, solid service and great times!

Fun spot with great beer! Bar man very clean (just ask his mother :D - inside joke), seriously witty. French onion soup a bit thick but hit the spot.

Amazing ambience! Its a cute hidden pub open late in lower town. Great drinks and bar food. Great service!!

Oncle Antoine is the oldest (over 200 years) in Old Quebec City. It has the coolest French vibe with old old decor. The ceilings feel like a vault, arched stone bricks. We sat outside on the street on a beautiful sunny day. We stayed a few hours because it was so relaxing. They have good, wines & beers... it's a great spot.

This is apparently the second oldest bar in Quebec. Very cool underground brick structure, cool place to grab a drink and a quick small plate. Our server turned out to be the bartender, as well as the cook. No complaints for what it is, great historic place to have a drink and snack, but don't expect a full menu of scratch food. That's not what it is. Good snacks , small plates, and good French Onion soup. Go for a drink, and if you're hungry, there are a few decent options.

Great welcome and atmosphere! Service is excellent! Building dates from 1754 with the stone barrel ceiling. Maple whiskey was really nice; would go great with coffee or pancakes! A nice place to stop whilst shopping.

Excellent bar! Had a great time. Friendly service. Great ambiance. Met some good people to share a drink with.

We made a quick pitstop to test some Cider. It was good. A small historic building that must to be great to hunker down in during winter. Unique and authentic. We did not have time for food. Service was fast and friendly.

I ended my night at Oncle Antoine and I'm very glad I stopped by! The interior was beautiful and unique and I felt like many years of stories were deeply embedded in its walls. Not a single other customer came in during the 2 hours I was there, which made me sad because I would hate to see such an incredible place close due to lack of business. The beer was great, service was friendly, and I enjoyed the selection of games to play. Just a note, like many establishments in Old Town, the bathrooms are down many steps and are not accessible for those that can't use the staircase. Big shout out to the bartender who helped my drunk self call a cab so I didn't have to struggle back up the hills and steps to my hotel!

Great service, lovely outdoor seating and convivial tourists chatting away. The food was so so - a croque monsieur is basically a ham and cheese sandwich stuck under a broiler. The fried cheese was a third choice to food that was out of stock. Disappointing- but the beer was delish!

Very cool place looks like a stone fortress. Love the atmosphere and the drinks were nice sized

A little disappointed to be honest. The place does seem kind of touristy. The maple syrup whiskey shots delivered, but I wouldn't return. The place seems understaffed and the existing staff seems overworked. It took 15 minutes with me standing at the bar to get a drink. Friendly service though. The guy behind the bar was also doing the cooking so I felt bad though.

Fun place to take a rest after walking all day and you just want a drink at a pub. The maple whisky (Sortilege) was my favorite although the French onion soup was good.

We loved spending a little time at this cozy bar, which we picked because it looks like an old cellar. But when we were there in mid-June, the weather was pretty hot, and they suggested it may be more comfortable to sit on the patio. We did that, and enjoyed some cold beers on a hot day. With most pints of beer, you can add a shot of Sortilege (Canadian whiskey with maple syrup) for a few Canadian dollars. We did that and were very pleased. When in Canada... drink shots? Anyway, the bartenders were all super friendly and tried to peer pressure us to drink more, which made us smile. We had to decline because we had dinner plans. But this is a fun place to stop for a drink in a very charming part of Quebec City!

Oncle Antoine's is among my absolute favourite places in Québec, and I go there every chance I get. The building itself is amazing: thick, stone walls, vaulted ceilings - no way anybody could ever build a place like this again. The fireplace is always going in winter and it smells great. I often go for a breakfast beer and maple whiskey shot in the morning, and Oncle Antoine's is the very best place in Quebec for that. It is 100% authentic - nothing hipster or fake about it. I would give this wonderful place 10 stars if I could.

The cozy and non-touristy bar I was looking for. Loved the ambiance. The host learned that two people in our party had just gotten engaged and treated the whole bar to maple whiskey shots. The menu looked good but we didn't partake. We definitely partook ion mútele whisky shots and beers. Loved this place. Would definitely recommend.

What a great place to get a drink in the city. Me and my husband stopped by here a couple times. Amazing atmosphere, great little bites to eat, and great beer. It's truly a locals spot and they have a fireplace in the middle of the pub which makes it so cozy. We ordered the French onion soup and the hot dog which were both delicious. Also when they offer the shot of whiskey with your beer, I say you take It! A must try place

My husband and I went in and were told we could sit at any open table outside. The patio had about 3 occupied tables when we sat down. We proceeded to sit for 15 minutes with no acknowledgment from the waitress. She looked at us several times and looked away/ ignored us. Finally we just left.

Grateful they are open late! Limited menu but - again - grateful they are open. Ambiance is comfy and inviting. Great music. We had the nachos (smoked meat and cheese and salsa), chicken wings (served with sour cream - these aren't Buffalo wings) and French onion soup (super cheesy). Food was typical pub quality. Great assortment of beers - bartender was also the server (also maybe the cook?). He was attentive and friendly and kept things moving smoothly. I can imagine this place being jammed during high season.

Cozy. Unique. Feeling like you stepped back in time. Great French onion soup. Warm service. We wish we found this spot years ago.

A must see when going to Quebec city. Do you feel like you're in a cave - in a good way! Great drinks and friendly patrons.

Awesome. I make sure I come here every time I'm in town. Such a cool place looking place and the games are so much fun.

Rude staff. The only item we wanted they did not have. And the drink we got, for 14,00, had barely any alcohol in it. Miserable place.

If I could do 15 stars instead of 5 I would. Absolutely amazing service, food, drinks, etc. Added this as one of our favorites while hole in Quebec. We came here twice and had Charles as our server both times- he was absolutely was incredible. He's efficient, quick, and so so nice and hospitable. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Came to grab dinner in the old town of Quebec City as I was getting hungry. Once we walked in, we thought we walked into an old cellar of sort. But this was part of their decor. We sat down after, it was surprisingly quiet on a Sunday evening. And I can't kept on wondering a cozy place like this is a bit different than all the fancy restaurants. We looked at the menu and after ordered a French onion soup, wings and pizza. The food came out not long after and first impression I had was... pub food! I have had lots of tasty French food lately, the food was more what I am used to? hahaha! As they only had 1 choice for flavour for the pizza and the wings, so we started digging in. The pizza was fresh and not too salty. The wings were meaty and the surprise was the salad that came with it (yummy!). French onion soup was lighter in flavour but more refreshing. Overall experience was amazing.

Great vibe. It's a cozy shelter from the cold. Went late Friday night and expected it to be packed. Hardly anyone there though. They've got a nice fire going and it's supposedly one of the oldest pubs in North America. Sat down and ordered a French onion soup and the Brie. French onion was okay. Looked delicious but it was a little watery and bland in taste. The Brie was good. Nice way to use the bread. Brie comes with a nice light salad. The hot chocolate didn't taste incredible but there was an abundance of whipped cream which was very tasty. Great place to slip in when it's cold outside, food is alright but the ambiance is great.

Located in the Old Port district, the walls of this place are 3-feet thick. Most of the buildings in this area were built in the early 1600s; for that reason alone its highly worth taking a stroll and stopping off at some of the sights... Its a small bar. They have a pretty nice selection of local tap beers. Place gives off a really cool vibe. This was our last stop after a very enjoyable weekend.

Cool music...good food...good drinks! Stuff were very friendly and cool 'middle earth' feel. Recommend the maple syrup whiskey for true Quebec experience.

Very cozy little bar. Ambiance is great, and there is a shelf of board games to play. They have some good specials on shots and beer - those butterscotch shots will do you in! Small menu but the food is very good. The croque monsieur and French onion soup are my favorites. I do agree with some of the other reviews that note the service could be a bit better. Always seems like there's a social gathering going on at the bar with the people who work there, while people at the tables are sitting around waiting. My table wanted to order another round of drinks on my last visit but ended up just leaving because it was taking so long.

This place is good for drinks but don't order the food unless it's the French onion soup. They have a minimal food menu. There were much better options in town had we known this would be so mediocre. The soup, however, was good and the drinks were cold.

By far my favorite pub in Old Quebec City! Charming, charming, charming and that fireplace! The bartenders are friendly and will recommend great beer choices. You can even play a board game or two if you're so inclined. PS-don't forget to order the French onion soup.

Tourist trap. They don't have much selection on their menu so you think what they make would be really good but that's not the case. My smoked meat sandwich was awful. The meat on the sandwich was spartan and the little bit that was on the sandwich was tough as leather and it was served with crappy chips. The only reason I'm giving it three stars is because it's in one of the oldest buildings in Quebec and its pretty cool and our waiter who was absolutely swamped, never lost his cool and managed to give us good service in spite of it all.

Perfectly quaint bar/ restaurant. Great spot to relax and have a drink, the old stone walls and ceiling make it. Plates a few games and the soup was amazing!!

This place is so cool looking. The house French onion soup is delicious. The beers are just as good. Try their blonde belge

Visiting Quebec City during the winter is a magical experience. Vieux Quebec is still decorated with holiday lights and twinkling snowflakes, snow banks are a mile high, creating further a sense of coziness and mystique, and folks everywhere are bundled up exploring. Winter Carnival brings even more people, ice sculptures everywhere, and did I mention more people? How perfect, then, was it to duck inside Le Pub de L'Oncle Antoine after a windy and raw (but highly recommended) trip on the ferry to experience the Saint Lawrence's ice floes. Chilled to the bone, my husband and I found refuge in the pub, located in Petit-Champlain and, lucky for us, got the two best seats at their small, intimate bar. Seating at a table wouldn't have left us feeling as cozy. The French onion soup was delicious. And while we had to wait a long time for it, our cheerful bartender, singing along to the set list of 80s tunes, made sure to make up for the wait with shots of maple whiskey, on the House. This service is what makes an establishment a gem. I would return in a heartbeat, both for the soup, the beer, the shots of Sortilege, but it will be hard to recreate the moment we had, cozied up, escaping the chill and crowds in a little pocket of refuse at this intimate bar.

My husband and I stopped by Oncle Antoine for a cocktail and enjoyed their outdoor patio. I tried a local rose that took some time to get use to. All the other rose I've had is super light and crisp. This was definitely a lot heavier of a drink, especially on a hot summer day. But it definitely grew on me.

The best onion soup anywhere so far! Great beer list and be sure to try to whisky shot with maple syrup. Personal size (9") veggie pizza great for vegetarians. Friendly service.

Cute place with amazing onion soup, but be careful of the bowl, burnt myself while eating. Very friendly staff, salad was good too

After a couple hours of walking around, I was getting hungry so had lunch at L'Oncle Antoine Pub. It's in the basement of an old building.Though the inside looked really interesting, I sat outside on the patio. It was warm and sunny and great place for people watching. I could hear a fella playing the guitar a block away. Tremblant Blonde was on special for $5 (including tax). It was good! There's not a wide variety on the menu so I ordered wings. They were good. The salad was a nice surprise ... it was tasty.

We found this place randomly on a cold November night while taking Christmasy pictures in the area. We saw a sign for mulled wine and we were sold. We stumbled into a great find! It's a small bar with a lot of charm and great service. It feels like a comforting, homey, brick-filled hide away. The mulled wine wasn't the best-- the Red wasn't to my taste but it was ok. Rum and coke delish. Shots--- Butterscotch shots did me in, warms you to your core There is also a large shelf with games in the back. We ended up staying till closing time and missing our train home the next day. Too much fun, indeed.

Great casual place for beers. It's cool to drink in such an old building! Fun place to get drunk and hang with your friends.

Looking for an intense game of (table) curling? Or a never ending game of Uno? How bout the thundering clash of Jenga crashing on the table? Well, L'Oncle Antoine's got you covered. They have a nice assortment of board games to entertain you while enjoy a nice glass of beer and a cheese plate. The inside is man-cave-cozy-chic, if you will (or just plain cave-chic really). When we stopped in they had Aphrodisiaque from Dieu du Ciel by the bottle. This stout was smooth delicious! I ordered the Brie Au four which was great and perfectly complemented my beer. We came in for a pre-dinner drink but could've spent hours on end with their assortment of board games after getting into a heated game of Uno. And we probably would have- if we didn't have dinner reservations to get to. This a great spot for drinks and snacks or even a meal. Tucked away just off of rue Champlain this cave-like hideaway is a nice respite to enjoy a good beer and some board games.

Checked in real quick just for drinks. I only had a lemonade which was quite tasty. Great flavor and not too sweet or sour. I tried the fried cheese too and that was very good. The accompanying salad was also fresh and came with a delicious sauce. The atmosphere was old timey and enjoyable! Overall it was a good place!

Very friendly service. We stopped in twice while in Quebec City for drinks and had a blast both times. Loved the vibe of this place.

This bar was our first stop for a brunch! We had a British hot dog and a watery caesar. We sat at the patio at 11:30am so it was VERY peaceful!! And really really nice under the calm blue sky to kickstart our QC day. Overall the bar is average, but in QC it's the most exciting. Service was nice!

My friend and I were trying to find s bar close to our hotel and this one definitely intrigued us. It's tucked away amongst all the shops and is one of the only businesses open late. When you walk in you look like your entering an old cellar. The aesthetic was great. They had a decent Selection of wines and beers and the waiter/bartender was really friendly. It is very tiny and although it is in a tourist centered area it definitely seemed more of like a local hangout which we were not a part of.

Onion soup was amazinnnng! Awesome ambiance but service was just okay. I felt they were more interested in drinking with each other than serving their customers.

Good place for a drink. Intimate atmosphere with low, arched ceilings. Had an appetizer and it was ok. Would generally recommend sticking to the drinks at this place.

I get it Covid ... So getting trained staff is going to be a challenge - but management needs to step up and make sure systems are working. We arrived at the location on the square for a drink and to people watch even though the menu was limited. The first beer we ordered was not available the second, Tremblay, was and was good but took ages to be served, I had to go check 15 minutes later, told they would be served in the order they came in. I had to place the order myself as server was a no show. We placed our food order since we figured it would take awhile. 40 minute later, no table check, I went to find server to check on our food. She came back and said order was lost and that unfortunately the terrace was closing soon. This was after we watched her eat her dinner at her station just minutes prior. So apparently, we weren't going to eat. When I complained they agreed to rush our order, comped us a beer and offered a 10% discount. Food arrived 15 minutes later ... So unappealing I did not eat it. I have never, ever left a review like this. This business needs to get its act together. I was hoping for a better experience. It's not like they were overly busy ... Which is telling. My wife enjoyed her pizza despite everything. I hope they will be able to fix this in the future! Good luck ... The pic is what I waited an hour for! I get COVID is tough on businesses - I spoke with the manager after ... she apologized, did nor appear too concerned. Unfortunate. I wish them luck ... maybe things will improve, but this ruined a precious night for my wife and I - haven't had the opportunity to "vacation" much so you cherish the nights you get - this was a big miss!

Very fun place. Some great beer options. Nice staff. Highly recommend. Their St Ambroise IPA is excellent. English and French spoken.

Another great dive bar in Basse Ville, L'Oncle Antoine wins points for being the only place open on the block after midnight. From the outside, L'Oncle looks like a medieval tavern but on the inside it's more of a college bar with gorgeous curved stone walls and a roaring fireplace by the front door. If you're able to scoot by the crowd at the bar, you'll find another large room to the right with large tables, tons of board games and a TV (for hockey, of course). The night we were there, there was only one bartender and he was slammed trying to serve every drink and plate of food to the 40 or so patrons. The menu is bar-ish with some interesting nibbles. Prices are super reasonable and for a place that is a little rough around the edges (at least late at night), this is a great stop.

The service that my party and I received tonight was despicable. Food and drinks took over an hour to be served, one of the people in our group didn't even get their order and another one of the meals was ice cold once it arrived, and drinks that were ordered never came. Two and half hours later when we were leaving and trying to pay the bill the service staff were shockingly rude to us and demanded we tip them. Im not too sure why they think horrible & very rude service renders a tip let alone any sort of good review.
