My husband & I luckily stumbled upon Grumpy's on our way to another pub & we just decided to stay at Grumpy's until our dinner reservation. We loved the vibe, the beer choices & the bartender & locals were extremely welcoming! Our favorite pub during our whole trip!

Probably the worst bartender ever!
It's a shame because the bar itself is pretty good, especially the live music!

They REALLY need to add heating lamps to the outside area, it's like you're not even meant to use it. The drink was also kinda mid

Overall Impression:

A true Montréal institution… unpretentious, welcoming, & rooted in community.

What I liked:

My wife & I both love Grumpy's. From the moment we walked down the stairs into this basement pub, we felt comfortable & at home.

The atmosphere & staff create a genuinely warm & welcoming environment. It's easy to see why this place is so steeped in history & such a part of Montréal's fabric.

It's not fancy, & that's exactly the point. It's comfortable, unpretentious, the drinks are good, & the people are even better.

Grumpy's is more than just a place to grab a drink, it's a community. I can show up on my own & end up leaving having met new people, which says a lot about the kind of place it is.

Atmosphere & vibe:

Cozy, lived-in, & authentic. There's a timeless feel to it… like stepping into a space that hasn't tried to change with trends, & is better for it.

It's also deeply connected to Montréal's local music scene, with regular nights dedicated to bluegrass, open mics, & visiting artists. They even host open stand-up nights for those brave enough to take the stage.

Who this is good for:

Anyone looking for a laid-back, authentic bar experience. Whether you're local or visiting, & whether you speak French, English, or anything else, you'll feel welcome here.

Closing:

A place we keep coming back to… simple, genuine, & full of character.

Great night out with live music & pints after Habs game. Good variety of beers & a good atmosphere. Unfortunately my phone dropped out of my pocket. Called & they happily helped me reunite.
