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.

Still not entirely sure what torch they are carrying, but it's some kind of clubhouse. A few years back I had a good laugh at the phrase'I did at first, out of politeness, assume you were not an idiot' (uttered by Zizeck in a debate with Peterson). For some reason I left this place the other day with a recalibrated version of this in mind, something along the lines of;'They did, in a rather unconsidered & pointless manner, presume their superiority'. Still searching for a good local in Montréal.

Very crowded & noisy, if that is what you seek, you will find it

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!

This is THE classic Irish pub in Montreal. Stone walls, proper pints, & Celtic music. Plus, the lively conversations around the bar.

We had Swiss burger & roast beef dip every thing was too salty. The point it wasn't eatable. The guinness taste was watery & oldish. I was looking for safest option which was disappointing.

Ça fait longtemps que je visite Hurley's. Toujours un plus pour son ambiance, la sélection de bières & de whisky. La qualité de la nourriture fluctue avec le temps, & certains plats se démarquent. L'addition récente des scotch eggs est une révélation.

Love Hurley's, it's my go-to Irish Pub! Great atmosphere, great music & great beer. It does get pretty busy on the weekends so if you want to sit at a table & watch the band then I suggest getting there early.

Un endroit très sympathique. Accueillie par une personne très gentille. Nous n'étions que de passe mais j'ai beaucoup apprécié l'ambiance pub & le choix des bières (même si je fini toujours par prendre une guiness)

A Montreal classic in every way. I hosted a party upstairs after a record-breaking Women's Hockey game at the Bell Center & Bill Hurley was so welcoming to all my guests. Always has the friendliest bar staff, a great atmosphere & you never want to leave!

Ambiance feutrée. Parfois des groupes de musique celtique. Belle sélection de whisky. J'aime bien le coin salon avec fauteuils & causeuses confortables.

Well, honestly I was very disappointed 😞 Both, on Hurley's website & Google map (menu), the nachos are showing at 15$.... only to get there & pay 24$ for it. What a bummer... Very little cheese on it & way to less of what I would expect for a nachos at that price. The service was minimal. With other pubs around, next time I will not choose this place..
