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.
We visited on a Saturday night & had a memorable dinner. The place was cosy & nice, the food was decent, the service was great, & the live music was AMAZING. The vibe was so good that we ended up canceling our plans to stay late till 1 am. The band was superb & the happy crowd danced to their content. Hurley's will remain a special place for us & one that we will visit whenever we are in Montreal.
Wow, can't say enough about this pub. We were on a 25-day road trip through Canada. We spent 2 nights in Montreal. We always seek out Irish pubs, & we found a gem. We had dinner at Hurleys & as always, we sat at the bar, because that is the best way to meet the local folks. Our bartender, Sam was absolutely the best. We had met Sam earlier in the day when we stopped in for a cold beer. He was so welcoming, we decided to go back for dinner. The Best decision in Montreal. We met three truly amazing guys. Kristen, Rod & Michael. We talked for quite a while & enjoyed swapping stories. Though Sam was busy, he made sure he came over & joined in the fun. They all made us feel like we were old friends. We left that night knowing that we really did make new friends. so, If you are traveling through Montreal, stop by & see Sam, & make some new friends. John & Nancy Fetter Harlem, Georgia USA
Local IPA & lager were the recc of the bartender tonight. Great calls! Very cool venue. Lots of ambiance & unique spaces plus an outdoor patio in the back. Fantastic!

Great place to unwind with friends. The stout beers here are something else. We enjoyed our evenings here. The place is quite the vibe & the staff are very friendly.
A good cosy & clean Irish Pub in central MTL , have been several times Good choice of beers , good Guinness ( from the Tap & Guinness zero from the can ) overall excellent service , a bit let down by the food ( & plenty of alternatives locally for better food ) , steak salat was underwhelming & a poor portion of meet for the price * note to owner - bring back the original steaks & poutine , fries , live music was good , fair pricing , nice terrace out front & back , will be back against , tip parking nearby & 2 mins from Novotel
Sara & Amanda are truly amazing & we are big fans of them!! Great & freindly service. The atmosphere depends on the band (up or down stairs) & every once in a while there's a colorful character but those are the perils of downtown bars.
I appreciate the laid back but attentive service as this pub. Their Guinness was fresh last time I went (not bitter) & their food is basic but solid pub fare. I typically get the chicken wings & fries - do be warned though that it can take a long time for the food to come out of the kitchen, so don't wait until you're starving to order.
Got the chicken wings. The sauce was not good & they were waaaay overpriced. $25 for 12 wing & they weren't even big & juicy. The sauce selection was also lacking.
