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.

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..

Best Irish pub I've been to outside of Ireland. Hurley's nails the'feel' of a traditional Irish pub, & has the best Guiness I've found this side of the Atlantic. Definitely check it out for a pint or two or three.

Such an old world feeling at this pub. Another landmark in Montreal. There are many nooks & crannies to find & kick back for great food & drink. You are most likely to meet some of the locals, & if you are lucky, you may even meet the owner, who creates a boon of hospitality. The bartenders & servers are fantastic! What are you waiting for!!
