The welcoming environment of an Irish Pub is a universal attraction in any city worldwide. When you have an Irish Pub as legendary as Montréal's iconic "Hurley's Irish Pub", you have a welcoming beacon to the great city of Montreal.
Hurley's à Yul receives a mixed bag of reviews, with some diners praising the lively pub vibe, runway views, solid beer selection, and quick, friendly service that makes it a reliable stop before a flight, while others warn of inconsistent service, long waits to seat, take orders, or bill, and meals that are overpriced for airport fare, sometimes bland or undercooked, with small portions and variable kitchen coordination. Breakfast can be a problem, and pricing is often cited as steep for the quality, though there are hits like well prepared fish and chips, decent burgers, and strong nachos when the kitchen is on track. Ambience and atmosphere are repeatedly noted as positives, while overall value and consistency vary, making Hurley’s à Yul a decent option for a quick bite or a drink before departure rather than a destination for standout dining.
I was starving, I ordered the Caesar Salade, but it was unbeatable. I wonder why a cook or a manger would serve such a thing. The service however was good. My waitress was kind, attentive a sorry that the food was not to satisfaction.
I've been to Hurley's YUL on a few occasions. On the last two occasions, however, I left after being seated for 15 minutes without a waiter or bartender ever coming to see me to take my order. Totally unacceptable. The service is very poor & barely merits one star. All of their staff looks disgruntled. The food is overpriced for the quality that they serve you. You're better off at Archibald if you simply want to enjoy a good beer before your flight.
Nice pub with a cool view to the planes outside. The ratio value for money in food is not that good though. We ordered some chicken wings (8 came in total), with two pints of beer & paid $70. The service is great! Helpful & friendly staff
Expensive for what you get
Sad burger served in a plastic basket. At least they could use plates.
First time I see an Irish pub with canned Guinness. What a shame
Stopped for breakfast before catching my flight. The carnivore breakfast was very salty; also, the black coffee was not great & was expensive. Otherwise, the service was decent, & the ambiance was great.
This place is great good food to eat for teens parents & older people the home made fry's are the best fry's I have ever eaten a decent choice of things to get & a amazing atmosphere. Was a little more pricey but for airport food it's alright.its kid friendly but there is better options at the airport for them.Also there is three or four vegetarian options & some dishes it says they can make it vegetarian which is nice even though I'm not . Overall I would go there I would go again with my family & make sure to get the homemade fry's there amazing
Thanks for reading this
Food: I got the spinach feta omelette, & I am happy to say that when the food arrived, my thought was'hallelujah, this chef can sure make an omelette.' The cook on the omelette was very good, not over or under done. I was also pleasantly surprised that the roasted potato wedges were better than average in terms of flavor & crispy/soft texture. Reason for 4 stars: Though I am a fan of sautéed onions, the omelette had far too many - more onions than spinach, feta or tomatoes.
Service:
The waiter serving me was amiable & efficient & pretty cool under pressure. I gave 3 stars because of the wait time. They were understaffed, with only one waiter serving 30+ customers, & it took a while for me to be seated.
It was also a bit pricey, as can be expected for airport food.
I paid $32 total for the omelette & an OJ, including tax & tip.

Not many options to begin with at this terminal. Took the chicken avocado club with fries. Smallest & saddest portion of fries I've seen in many years, tasted alright.
The plastic water cup was all chipped & cracked, how difficult would it be to discard & replace?
The sandwich was not a true club, rather it was 3 pieces of oily hamburger bun, with layers of ok chicken, questionable guacamole, & one slice of tomato.
This was $26, it filled my belly temporarily but my experience here has taught me not to trust these restaurants again. Very overpriced for what you're getting, & sad presentation.
Service plutôt ordinaire, nachos qui aurait mérité un peu plus de temps au four. Overpriced & assez décevant, mais c'est un peu la norme dans les restaurants d'aéroport malheureusement :-
The service was ok
The prices are insane for the quality.
I ordered a beer that cost $14.99 for a not so big of a glass & my calamari was dry & cold. I told the waiter but she didn't do a thing about it not charge me less for the garbage they served me. Not worth my money. Read reviews before picking a place (not like we have many options)

I was there with my daughter before a long flight
Ordered nachos & they were unfortunately very sad , the cheese was sparse & not melted anywhere near enough the sauce was a rough scene
Nachos are hard to mess with that much
The beer was good
