Review Summary

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.

Musicians are amazing. I do not think the place treats them well.

You know you found the right Irish pub, when there's a firmly handshake with the super friendly owner, you tell each other's names & do smalltalk over some pints of Guinness or good IPAs with whoever is sitting next to you. There's also nice live music & terrace seating.

The more drinks I had, the better they were... It was a good time though... Especially Zack, our waiter... No, it's not a family owned business...

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 :)

Very nice place to walk in & sit for a few drinks. Would recommend the strawberry beer if you don't like beer as much 🍓

The staff are amazing & when a random stranger started harassing a table, the wonderful server was there to intercept & make sure that the female at the table was safe! Thank you for making your establishment a safe & fun environment.

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!!
