The Cactus beer bar is 31 years old!

Quebec City, Tuesday, November 16, 2021 - While restaurateurs are trying to survive in this period of crisis and labor shortage, the Cactus beer bar is coming out of this ordeal brilliantly. Their secret for 31 years is none other than a dedicated team standing together.

Some wonder what keeps customers so loyal as the Myrand Avenue facility has been closed for long periods due to the pandemic. Louis Caron, co-owner and director of operations, and Hugues Gagnon, co-owner, ensure that it is thanks to the feeling of community that reigns there. “Everything starts from the employees. The crisis hit us hard, but the team went out of their way to take turns at the bar, the service and the kitchen to make it all together. We are like a beautiful big family and it is by helping each other that we are on the way to make it through, "said Mr. Gagnon.

Quality First

The unpretentious beer bar, which has enjoyed remarkable success since its opening in November 1990, has become an institution in Quebec. A neighbor of the University, the Cactus has always been a popular gathering place for academics, young professionals and loyal customers for the past 31 years. There is no denying it, clients are charmed by the exceptional service offered there. Fine beer connoisseurs, the waiters never miss an opportunity to pass on their passion!
Le Cactus offers a wide variety of premium microbrewery beers, brewed by the owners under the Benelux brand. Hop lovers can count on new arrivals every week, while some unmistakable great classics keep their place on the slate. Neipa, IPA, Pilsner, Stout and many other world-inspired wonders draw visitors from all over the place.

Simply tasty cuisine

Foodies cannot miss the famous chicken wings with Buffalo sauce, a staple of the Cactus since its very beginnings. Extravagant poutines, burgers, nachos and other Tex-Mex inspired delicacies are on the menu.

In restaurants, on the outdoor terrace or on the heated terrace, customers have not finished enjoying dinners, dinners and festive evenings at the Cactus. cactusquebec.com
