A common observation is the lack of a written menu and reliance on verbal options, along with occasional value questions when prices are high. Sides such as mac and cheese, beans, and coleslaw receive mixed reactions, sometimes excellent and other times less impressive or cold. Many diners travel from far away and deem it a must-visit for barbecue in Montreal, while a few reservations note service issues or price concerns. Reservations are often advised due to popularity, and the overall meat-forward, smoke-kissed flavors create a memorable experience for fans of authentic barbecue.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Reviews describe Mad Hatter Pub as a lively, affordable dive bar with a big room, plenty of seating, pool tables, and a strong social vibe, where drinks are cheap and the staff is friendly on good nights. However, cleanliness and consistency vary, with several mentions of sticky floors, strong smells, and dirty bathrooms, and some guests report crowded spaces, noise, and slow or inattentive service or even rude reactions. More than one review praises the atmosphere, karaoke, and the chance to meet locals, while others advise against it for a quiet date or a refined experience. Overall, Mad Hatter Pub is seen as an authentic dive bar with character, good for a casual night out, games, and a lively crowd, but hygiene and service issues can take away from the experience.View restaurant profile
