Burgundy Lion is not a traditional pub by Montreal or UK standards. We provide a higher quality product in food, drink, service, and ambiance than other established pubs. Burgundy Lion is armed with an impressive selection of traditional whiskeys and beers, as well as a modern cocktail and wine list.
Across reviews, Burgundy Lion is described as a warm, authentic British pub in Montreal with a lively ambiance, friendly and attentive staff, and a strong whiskey and beer selection, along with crowd pleasing staples like fish and chips, bangers and mash, and generous portions. The venue shines for sports nights, trivia, private events, and afternoon tea, drawing regulars who value a welcoming vibe and good value, though some experiences note occasional noise, crowded spaces, and uneven execution in dishes such as soggy fries, mediocre poutine, or cold dining areas. All in all the reviews portray a beloved local institution where quality drinks, solid pub fare, and a friendly community feel exist alongside occasional service delays and menu inconsistencies.
I reserved the atrium to host a celebration of life for my mother. Nancy was wonderful to work with. There were no hiccups or issues with anything. Sabrina, our host, was excellent. The A/V worked out perfectly for our slide show. The food was delicious & plentiful. I ordered savory & sweet apps plus mains for our group. The drink selection was excellent. I highly recommend the Burgandy Lion.

Very cool place with a skylit terrance in the middle of the whole place! The food was good & the burgundy lion beers were great aswell. Will definitely be back next time there's a show at Corona Theatre!🤘
Very nice! Food was delicious. Service was terrific. I'm always a bit leery being in Montreal & being anglophone, but this was a very pleasant experience.
I 100% recommend. The food waa really good, the waiters were really nice, & the service was quite rapid. My only complaint is the price of cocktails is quite high, but otherwise it was an amazing dinner. I definitely recommend going here for dinner.
We had planned a very close friend's surprise bithday in a park, a month of planning, people driving into Montréal from Gatineau, Ottawa etc.. overcast & rain were gonna make it all very wet & crammed & it just wasnt the vibe. Being in the St-Henri area I decided to reach out to the pub & see if their gorgeous tea room solarium & plants room, whatever its called.. was that jewel available & could it accommodate 30 of us in such short notice. A private party was what we wanted & it was what we were served ❤️ Megan took us in with no hesitation & set up the space accordingly. Erin took care of our guests seamlessly with a beautiful smile. The food was great as usual. But really, this day was special & you girls made it perfect. I can't thank you enough! Burgundy Lion.. not just a pub ❤️ Thank you for making this moment unforgettable. We shall be back !
One of the oldest bars in the area, always busy, nice vibes. It has a big outdoor terrace very popular in summer days, & a sports bar with TVs upstairs. Being popular & crowded means longer wait time for seats & orders. Good selection of food & drinks.
