People Watching
With large, retractable windows overlooking trendy St-Denis Street, people-watching from the second-story El Zaz Bar, founded in 1997, is made simple. However people watching within the bar can be every bit as interesting; the bar’s patrons are every bit as colourful and diverse as the folks down on the street. Diversity is a key motif at El Zaz: it hosts sporting events on several televisions, live music in the summertime, and friendly pool games amongst its loyal clientele. Affiliated with the Zaziummm restaurant and bar chain, El Zaz also includes a modest menu featuring chicken wings and nachos.
Eclectic Mexican-Inspired Decor
The multi-coloured lamps that dimly illuminate the bar provide a quaint and relaxed atmosphere, one that is both homey and charming. The refreshing sangria served up by the friendly wait staff mirrors the colourful Mexican artifacts that adorn Zaz’s walls. The décor boasts hanging hammerhead sharks, bamboo hanging over the bar’s countertop, and a hollowed out van that overlooks the dance floor. You won’t see anything like El Zaz’s unique and quirky decorations anywhere else in the city, as their private collection of antiques and trinkets is imported from Mexico and the U.S.
Festive Times in All Seasons
An eclectic blend of rock, salsa, hip-hop, and French music can be heard over El Zaz’s speakers on any given night—oftentimes all in one night. Expect to see lively action on the dance floor, despite the fact that it is quietly tucked away in the corner of the bar. Through sun or snow, El Zaz Bar creates festive times and warm climes in all seasons.
