This establishment maintains a commitment to the fundamental principles of British pub culture by emphasizing quality ingredients and substantial portions.

Review Summary

Burgundy Lion is widely celebrated as a staple of the Montreal community, offering an authentic British pub experience characterized by its warm atmosphere, extensive whisky collection, and consistently popular dishes like fish and chips, bangers and mash, and high tea. Visitors frequently praise the vibrant, cozy decor and the staff's dedication to hosting lively sporting events and private functions. While many guests describe the service as exceptional and friendly, some experiences have been marred by inconsistencies in food quality, noise levels, or service attentiveness during peak hours.

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.

Very nice pub in the area. Great atmosphere & staff were great. I would say try & go during happy hour as drink prices rack up, especially when you see the bill at the end.

Food wise, excellent. The bangers & mash were very filling & seasoned sausages were great.

Atmosphere was really nice for a night out. Staff was really pleasant & gave us free dessert for a birthday. Ordered the burger & it lacked colour & was gray in the middle. The Croque Madame was very goood highly recommend! For downtown Montreal, it's nice & reasonably priced. Verity of options ! Great place for a girls night out with friends ! Placed filled up pretty quick, so reservation is highly recommended!
