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.
Je suis allé aujourd'hui avec ma conjointe.
On a tous les deux pris le burger avec les frites… & honnêtement, c'était vraiment excellent. Le goût, la cuisson, la qualité - tout était parfait.
Le service de Doug était tout simplement impeccable.
Je ne pourrais pas demander mieux comme service.
L'ambiance du pub est incroyable, très belle place.
C'est certain que j'y retourne. 👍
Definitely top tier in Montreal. Highly recommended for Irish pub lovers & of course á go to spot for st paddy's.
Great staff, honestly every single bartend who's ever served me there is a gem 💎.

Hurley's is a great spot! It's definitely my favourite pub in Montreal. They have live music, good Irish beer, & a comedy club. Btw, also check out their black velvet beer.
Had not been to Hurley's in years & went last week. The bar has not changed & I love it!! ❤?
Classic irish pub ambiance, friendly service & great live entertainment. Thanks for the fun evening & cheers to you all! 😄👍🍻

A big thank you to Bill Hurley (owner) & Doug (Master of the Jameson pour…) & a few local patrons for your great conversation & hospitality. The food, drink & friendly atmosphere at Hurley's Irish Pub is second to none. A must visit when in Montreal.
Adoré l'atmosphère & la convivialité de l'endtoit.
J'étais chez Hurley's Pub pour écouter le groupe celtique SOLSTICE & pour encourager mon amie RACHEL CAMPBELL qui s'est joint à eux comme violoniste & back vocal.
Le joueur de flûtes: DAVE GOSSAGE , est absolument allucinant ainsi que le guitariste lead signer: PAT LESYK .
Le'local intime' du Hurley's, ou jouait le groupe , faisait en sorte que tous les clients se parlaient, tapaient du pied ou des mains à l'unisson... Ambiance enlevante & presque familiale.
Je ne consomme pas d'alcool depuis longtemps, mais je vais définitivement retourner chez HURLEY'S IRISH PUB pour y passer des super soirées musicales.
