Cunninghams maintains the authentic spirit of an Irish pub by emphasizing hearty, traditional fare served in a robust, community-focused setting. The menu features signature pub staples such as crispy fish and chips, savory shepherd’s pie, and slow-cooked stews that prioritize quality ingredients. Fresh, garden-forward salads provide a lighter contrast to the heavier comfort food offerings often found on the standard menu. The interior design reflects classic tavern aesthetics with wood-heavy furnishings and a layout conducive to casual social interaction. Guests find a consistent selection of draft beers that pair specifically with the salt-forward and deep-flavored profile of the kitchen output. This establishment functions as a dedicated hub for those seeking reliable, flavorful meals in a grounded environment that avoids unnecessary artifice or culinary pretension.
Cunninghams is widely celebrated as a premier neighborhood destination, particularly renowned for serving some of the best chicken wings in the Montreal area. Guests frequently highlight the generous portions, consistent quality, and a wide variety of delicious sauce options that keep patrons coming back for years. Beyond the food, the pub offers a warm, welcoming, and festive atmosphere that makes it an ideal spot for catching a sports game, enjoying live music, or spending time with friends and family. Located in a charming area perfect for a post-meal stroll, the establishment is frequently praised for its friendly staff, impressive selection of beers, and overall cozy pub vibe that captures an authentic experience.
A year ago (July 25') my son came home from his first solo adventure with a friend on the public buses. They had a story to tell. They ended up in St Anne, walked around & ended up at Cunningham's for lunch. They ordered food & were then approached by who they described as'the owner'. They talked about their adventure & explained to the gentleman they just graduated from grade 8. One way or another after they finished their meal they were told the meal was on him.
They were so excited about that
I just wanted'the owner' to know what a wonderful gesture that was. It will undoubtedly be a part of my son's & his friends memory.
My wife, 2 boys & I occasionally dine there & are never disappointed with the wings (& tap beers for the adults 😀) & the atmosphere. Service staff are always very friendly & accommodating.
I have been a long time customer & patron of Cunninghams since forever, but I have not been able to patronize the Saint- Anne place in over 2 1/2 years. On Wednesday, on a whim, me & my brother decide to have lunch after an appointment I had . We where greatly disappointed with our food. The decors has not changed, it wasn't crowded nor overly loud. Starting with the good, the beer was cold & went down easily! It was cool inside & seating was plentiful. Now for the bad, the food was mediocre & generic. The burger tasted like it came from McDonald's ( salty!, yet no flavor), the Philly cheese steak the same. It lacked seasoning, the bun was cold, the' cheese' sauce was lava hot. The fries use to be my favorite, but had one we had tasted stale, with an after taste of burnt frying oil. The service was OK, but slow despite not being busy. I will have to think twice about going back in the near future. Sorry.

I hadnt been to Cunninghams since I was in University but I was pleasantly surprised to see that it's still great after all these years. We enjoyed a beer & some fried pickles (which were pretty good) & the cauliflower'wings' (which were more General Tao flavored, they were okay) but really for me it's the atmosphere of the bar that makes the experience. Just a good vibe overall.
It's cunninghams what more is there to say, they've got something for everyone, even my vegan girlfriend likes their vege burger & deep fried pickles, if you're not vegan/vegetarian I highly recommend the wings, they're like real good. Also quite solid beer selection. Good pub.
Went to Cunninghams tonight, party of 5 for an 85th birthday dinner. The staff was very friendly & accommodating. We had one person gluten free & the kitchen was very attentive to make sure she was safe. 3 orders of fish & chips, 1 garlic & herb cod done gluten free!, & a spicy bacon bourbon burger. Wine & beer to go with those meals. Finished the night with dessert for the table which was a 4 cannolli / fruit plate... sooo good. Thanks for another great night.
A unique menu item from the East Coast is a Donair, & it's nearly impossible to find in Montreal. Cunningham's prepares an interpretation of this classic East Coast dish. Expect a far more modest portion & ask for extra sauce.
First time at Cunningham's. Awesome pub! Had an all-out fun time & the chicken wings are to die for. Bonus: the walking view along St. Anne's boardwalk was stunning. I can't wait to go back.
Cunningham's Pub delivers a solid lunch experience. The chicken wings-sweet BBQ (my fave) & honey garlic-were hot, crispy, well-sauced, & seriously tasty. Big, juicy wings done right. Paired with a flavourful poutine & a cold pint, it made for a satisfying meal I'll definitely be going back for again soon.
