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!

Not a good environment whatsoever. The bartender ignored me & my friends alll night. But more importantly the open mic night was incredibly sexist & only allowed men on stage. When we complained & asked when our friend would be up next, the guy in charge caressed her arm & told her that she'll be called when she's called & that the order of the sign up list didn't matter. When we began to grab our stuff & go the man called her name but we were already upset & leaving so we told him she wouldn't be going up. The man then proceeded to blame her for not performing & was saying negative things about her over the microphone. Anywho I'd only go if I were a man & didn't care about how women were treated.

Love this bar! Great atmosphere - live music was really fun & friendly, warm neighborhood pub feel. The service was excellent - both bartenders I had were courteous & speedy. I definitely recommend it!

Holy Moley this place is Fantastic! The staff & other patrons are all wonderful people. Although I think Nick the bartender cheats at arm wrestling . Will be my go-to spot whenever I'm in Montreal. Trivia night was a blast (thanks Michael) . No food so we ordered pizza delivery from our favourite place. Amazing spot! Sparky
