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.

Typical pub with large beer selection, small menu but good food particularly the Caesar salad. Outdoor patio on a nice day is a great afternoon break.

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.

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.
