Hurley's Irish Pub is the premiere Irish pub in Montreal. Since it opened in 1993, the friendly staff have been serving 18 draft beers, a selection of more than 40 single malts and 8 whiskeys. A selection of hearty fare awaits you. With two floors, there is live music played every night, a fireplace, a game room and a quiet snug.
Overall, Hurley's Irish Pub comes across as a Montreal institution, offering a welcoming two floor layout with cozy corners, live music, and a festive Celtic atmosphere that works for pre game buzz or a relaxed night out. Reviewers praise a tremendous beer selection and an impressive whiskey list, along with solid pub fare and standout dishes like beef stew or a hearty fish and chips, though some meals have been noted as inconsistent and portions as smaller since Covid. Staff receive frequent compliments for friendliness and attentiveness, contributing to a warm, engaging vibe across multiple visits. Two levels, a downstairs intimate space and an upstairs area with music, plus a terrace, are highlighted as great features that add to the original charm, though crowds can push seating and service during peak times. While prices can be on the higher side and a few menu items have been cut back, the overall sentiment is that this pub delivers a top notch experience for beer lovers, sports crowds, and fans of live Irish music. Many say they will return, making this a go to spot in Montreal for those seeking good drinks, lively entertainment, and a friendly crowd.
The food is classic pub food but quite decent. The atmosphere is charming & the waiters super cool. We went for comedy night & it was cozy & fun. Cobb salad was ok, the sweet potato fries were a massive bucket with curry mayo sauce that was yummy. The smoked meat sandwich was small but good. Would go again for drinks & entertainment :)

I love this pub so much!! It's seems like being in a tavern in Middle Earth drinking with Dwarfs & Hobbits . Excelent food & cold beer but the best is the music....ooohhh, they make the atmosphere perfect!!
This place was such a vibe! Loved getting some extra drinks after an amazing dinner we had last night at Trattoria Trestevere, which was right next door. Highly recommend this place!
Such an old world feeling at this pub. Another landmark in Montreal. There are many nooks & crannies to find & kick back for great food & drink. You are most likely to meet some of the locals, & if you are lucky, you may even meet the owner, who creates a boon of hospitality. The bartenders & servers are fantastic! What are you waiting for!!
It's a really nice place to go with friends. The music is really nice. We dance a lot & have a lot of fun there. & they have a good variety of drinks & beers.
Came here on a busy weekend night. Great atmosphere for an Irish Pub. There was live fiddle music the night I went. Loved the music. I also came a couple times before this on less busy days. It was difficult for me & my friends to get the attention of the barman for drinks. I had ordered a pint of Murphy's. Unfortunately, it tasted incredibly sour - not at all what I'm used to since I order a Murphy's wherever it's available. I'm not sure if this means it was old, the lines weren't clean, etc. I was hoping to have a great stout since it's hard to come by in Montreal. Definitely has a great Irish feel. Maybe the sour pint was an isolated incident. I recommend the owners put more emphasis on quality control - particularly on the stouts, since how their poured, presented, & taste are important (at least to me) for an Irish pub.

Hurley's Irish Pub: A beer enthusiast's haven with a wide selection. Pub ambiance is top-notch, but the burgers fall short. Ideal for drinks, but consider other options if a satisfying meal is on your agenda.
Great place to drink & hang out with friends. I really enjoyed their poutine, it really hit the spot. There's nothing fancy or special about it, it was just very good. Live music was also great, nothing like hearing a live musician while chatting with friends. Great atmosphere, would return for sure.
Popped in pre-game for a bite to eat & had a great meal. I had the Murph burger & it's easily in the top 5 best burgers I've ever had. Despite being super busy our server was great, food & drinks were delivered promptly & we felt well taken care of. My only complaint was the shaky / wobbly table we had to use & the dimness of our spot to sit. Had to use our cell phone flashlight to see the menu.
