Meet “Dr. Fontaine” – the distinguished figure behind the official trademark of Ethier’s Café. At a time when Spencer was still shaping its identity, Marc Fontaine, a young physician, became the first French Canadian doctor to settle in town. He soon opened his office, and in the spring of 1880, commissioned the building of the historic property that houses “Ethier’s Café.”

Today, Ethier’s Café honors his legacy. Our guests are not simply stepping into a cocktail bar – they are stepping into a restored piece of local history. A building that has welcomed guests for nearly 150 years. Under its vintage charm, handcrafted cocktails and speakeasy atmosphere lives the enduring spirit of the doctor who built the very foundation beneath it all.

“Dr. Fontaine” symbolizes the elegance and ambition of a bygone era, while serving as a tribute to the man whose legacy helped shape the town’s history. The trademark symbolizes sophistication with substance – a reminder that behind every great establishment is a story rooted in people and place.

Did you know that speakeasies of the 1920's used the production of a particular item to gain entry into their illegal establishments? This was to ensure that only trusted individuals could enter the premises. Ethier's Cafe will now offer an exclusive discount to those who bring a particular item to the bartender. Bring a small clear vintage glass bottle on your next visit. We are looking for old apothecary bottles that once held medicine or liquor, - join us in celebrating the charm of another era!

✨Introducing our "Stepped Bee." This elevated take on a Prohibition favorite trades honey for a delicate Earl Grey stepped syrup, layering bright citrus with bergamot and subtle tea tannins. The result? A cocktail that's equal parts crisp, floral and quietly complex. You should stop in for a taste. ✨Open today at 6pm. ✨
