Review Summary

Burgundy Lion is a widely recognized Montreal institution that successfully captures the authentic atmosphere of a traditional British pub, featuring distinctive multi-story wood and leather decor and a popular glass-ceiling greenhouse space. Many patrons praise the establishment for its exceptional selection of whiskies and craft beers, as well as its reliable menu of British comfort food favorites like fish and chips, bangers and mash, and scotch eggs. While the venue is frequently celebrated for its vibrant, welcoming vibe, perfect for watching sports or hosting private events, experiences regarding service speed and consistency can vary during peak hours. Guests generally enjoy the knowledgeable staff and the cozy, lively environment, though some visitors occasionally note issues with noise levels, pricing, or specific dish preparations.

An anniversary whiskey tasting where talent was demonstrated in their ability to pour a single bottle of whiskey for all 50+ participants, & still have dregs left in the bottle.

Among other complaints, the big bearded bartender that was upstairs should really calm down. My husband & I had just arrived & we unknowingly were standing in the wrong place, instead of calmly & politely asking us to move, he aggressively told us'you're not supposed to stand here.' My husband who is a very happy go lucky person jokingly said'calm down man' & the bartender really went off on a little power trip'don't tell me to calm down, this is my house I can kick you out right now'. My husband replied literally'no this is a bar' anyway the bartender then refused to serve him & by association me… so we left, found a better pub with larger & clearer screens to watch the game, with AC & super friendly wait staff.

Usually I love going to BL. I find the food to be excellent quality for the price point & have had many lovely excursions. This evening however was such a bummer. I'm leaving this as feedback so hopefully it can be addressed. Friday night, summer vibes. Came to BL with a table of friends for bevs. There was a DJ, which should have been the red flag. The music was SO LOUD no one could hear each other, it was all millennial hits from middle school (I don't mind that fully, as a millennial it's nostalgic) yet there's no dance floor, so what's the point? We are here to chat & have background music. It was srsly so, so loud. & it was all dudes. When did BL become a meat market? Finally, I had 3 cocktails - they were all awful 😞 the margarita was so sour, like lime-aid heavy but no balance w simple syrup. I had a vodka martini'a little bit dirty' it was nearly pure olive brine, so over salty. I had the French something, sour again, a bit lukewarm, no balance again. If this was my first time I'd give one star it was so bad. The staff did their best but the service was still chaotic, sparse. I love BL but this was a true dive bar experience - without dive bar pricing. I hope this does not repeat. Will need some breathing room before returning, hopefully future experiences redeem this local staple. Please don't ruin a good thing.
