Review Summary

Hurley's Irish Pub is a bustling multi room venue with a classic pub vibe, two floors and a cozy outdoor terrace, widely praised for its live music, broad beer and whiskey selection, and the feeling of a Montreal institution. The staff are generally friendly and attentive, though crowds and peak hours can slow service, and a few notes mention menu changes and occasional smaller portions post Covid. Food covers wings, fish and chips, burgers and beef stews with solid quality, drinks and atmosphere are a big draw for pre game gatherings and casual nights out, and many reviewers describe it as one of the best Irish pubs in Montreal, highlighting the welcoming vibe, the live music and occasional comedy nights as standout features. Overall Hurley's Irish Pub is seen as a top spot for meeting friends, watching sports, and enjoying a pint with lively Irish style, even if some dishes or prices vary by visit.

A couple friends & I went just looking for some food & drinks, found a cozy environment, very delicious food, & a good selection of drinks. We highly suggest the mushroom burger. Would visit again!

We visited Hurley's for the first time the other night. We were in the upstairs room where the Harris/Imbecile Debate was going on. The room was packed & a bit understaffed. Having said that the single bartender working was amazing. He managed to not only work the crowed bar, but he also took food orders & delivered them to people's tables- all with a relaxed smile. He was slammed for hours. It is for this reason I am giving them 5 stars. There was one waitress on duty, but she seemed to spend much time on socializing with tables, unaware of people wanting to place an order. The food was excellent & very reasonably priced & we will be back. It's an incredibly friendly place. Thank you

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...
