Hurley's Irish Pub is the premiere Irish pub in Montreal. Since it opened in 1993, the friendly staff have been serving 18 draft beers, a selection of more than 40 single malts and 8 whiskeys. A selection of hearty fare awaits you. With two floors, there is live music played every night, a fireplace, a game room and a quiet snug.
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.
Pas de musique, pire service ever...le barman a fait nos drinks, mais la serveuse nous les a jamais apporté...le repas est arrivé avant nos bieres...on a donc laissé faire pour les breuvages...on a mangé avec une bouteille d eau qui trainait dans ma sacoche lol
I absolutely love Hurley's. Such a tremendous selection of beer, as well as a pretty good selection of whiskeys particularly those from Ireland. There are multiple rooms throughout so you can always find a place that suits your needs, whether you want to be somewhere with live music & crowded, or if you want to be in a small nook having a quiet conversation, be romantic or not. The staff are equally incredible, with people working there for decades, as well as students, some of which are pursuing Irish studies.
If you're looking for a pint & a lovely meal, excellent atmosphere & interesting patrons, this is the place to go. We will definitely be back as we have been many many times. See you then.
Je suis allé aujourd'hui avec ma conjointe.
On a tous les deux pris le burger avec les frites… & honnêtement, c'était vraiment excellent. Le goût, la cuisson, la qualité - tout était parfait.
Le service de Doug était tout simplement impeccable.
Je ne pourrais pas demander mieux comme service.
L'ambiance du pub est incroyable, très belle place.
C'est certain que j'y retourne. 👍
Definitely top tier in Montreal. Highly recommended for Irish pub lovers & of course á go to spot for st paddy's.
Great staff, honestly every single bartend who's ever served me there is a gem 💎.
I do have to shoutout Turbo absolute legend.
Special mention to Sara , Arnesh, Lina & Taylor; all staff that used to work there & were the reason that I got to know the bar & helped me cherish my moments there.
Hurley's is a great spot! It's definitely my favourite pub in Montreal. They have live music, good Irish beer, & a comedy club. Btw, also check out their black velvet beer.
Sadly since Covid , nobody seems to care about serving great food they once had .. wings would be six if I remember & they were big .. now it's sadly smaller portions & not worth the hike in prices for most of their dishes … it's everywhere .. & you wonder why restaurants are closing …
