It's a really nice place to go with friends. The music is really nice. We dance a lot & have a lot of fun there. & they have a good variety of drinks & beers.
Came here on a busy weekend night. Great atmosphere for an Irish Pub. There was live fiddle music the night I went. Loved the music. I also came a couple times before this on less busy days. It was difficult for me & my friends to get the attention of the barman for drinks. I had ordered a pint of Murphy's. Unfortunately, it tasted incredibly sour - not at all what I'm used to since I order a Murphy's wherever it's available. I'm not sure if this means it was old, the lines weren't clean, etc. I was hoping to have a great stout since it's hard to come by in Montreal. Definitely has a great Irish feel. Maybe the sour pint was an isolated incident. I recommend the owners put more emphasis on quality control - particularly on the stouts, since how their poured, presented, & taste are important (at least to me) for an Irish pub.

I love Guinness & Hurley's knows the right way to pour one. The best Guinness I've had out of about 5 other Irish pubs. Food is good, fries & poutine are both standouts for me, although I'll admit I don't eat much while I'm there. The music is fantastic. The band is always great & always plays songs that get people singing along. Fiddle player is a nice touch, always sounds great, but all the players are good. Thoroughly enjoyed myself here more than once.
Loved every moment I spent here for the week I was in Montreal! The manager/bartender Andrew was incredibly friendly, & he poured a perfect pint of Guiness every time! The ambience was amazing, everyone was having a great time & the live music was fantastic every time I walked in, & for the whole time I was there!

One of my favorite places in MTL. For those who love dark/cozy pubs. The staff is incredibly friendly. You feel like you've coming to this pub for years. They have very good live music. The thing I like the most in this place is that they have some living areas with armchairs & small sofas. It's not only tables & chairs. I love it every time I come here. I'm sure you will have a good time. Cherrs 🍻
This bar feels like a confusing maze! It's pretty narrow &, if you don't get there early enough, you'll have trouble finding a seat. I ordered two rum & cokes & they were decent, but nothing special. I do not recommend the nachos.
