Fine Irish eateries & drinkerie.
Doug (one of a few downtown class bartenders) makes newcomers feel as special as the regulars,of which there are quite a few. Actually for a bar that boasts a stable of regulars it is by no means clique ish. Highly recommended before/after Hab nights.
even if i wet to sit in front of a server , i've been sitting infront of the bar for 20 mins, the only person of colour, no one has asked me what id like to drink even while calling them out. Service is only for the french at this location. thank you for showing me the respect of montreal

I had a bad experience here with an extremely rude server lady. You could tell that she treated other customers nice, but when it came to my family (we're Filipino), she was blatantly racist. She was absolutely disrespectful & often rolled her eyes when we were trying to be friendly. Barely came to our table too, we had to keep trying to reach out to her.
By the time the bill came, my mother pressed the wrong button on the debit machine by accident as the price needed to be set up again. This lady said'want me to teach you how to use a debit machine?' in such a condescending tone.
Don't know about you, but a server like that deserves no tip. I normally treat service workers with utmost respect too. She hilariously got confrontational when we didn't tip her & said we were legally obligated lmao. Next time treat your customers with minimal decency & you're guaranteed a tip lady, it's a no brainer.
Our blonde server Bennet was a delight to have. She was attentive despite's being Islanders fans & her wearing a Canadians jersey. Excellent service. Definitely recommend, will be back.
Great old establishment to grab a pint. Good service with friendly staff. Not much on the food menu but the wings are pretty decent. It has a great feel & hopefully we get back for some live music.
