RENARD is a cocktail bar & social club that serves booze alongside small dishes and disco ‘til late — We are a bistro-esque discotheque, of sorts. Renard (French, Re•Nar — ‘Fox’) started as an affectionate tongue-in-cheek reference to our beloved nightclub — The Faux Social Club — which was often mispronounced by punters as ‘The Fox Social Club.’ The malapropism stuck with us, and figured we better put it to use on the next rendition of the space. The venue boasts a selection of independent spirits, Australian and French minimal intervention wines, with an ever-changing seasonal food and cocktails list. Proudly independently owned and operated by Ballarat brothers Teddy & Louis. Join us for your pre or post dinner drinks, your date nights, late nights, and great nights.
