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.
Great pint of Guinness, up there with the best I've had in North America. Food left a bit to be desired, certainly not bad, but not great. We had the chicken wrap, burger & poutine & overall it was lacking a bit of quality, but again, it was not bad. Service was good.
You'd be surprised how good the food is here ! It's supposed to be a pub , mostly drinks & some fish & chips but the burgers are great , the sandwiches are good , the salads too ! I was pleasantly surprised the first time & been there a few times since . The service is really friendly
Super great place with good drinks & a nice outdoor patio!! We stayed for hours which is why we spent so much money, however the dishes were affordable & worth the price. There is live music at ten pm every night.
It is what it is, & doesn't pretend to be anything else. There are couches to lounge on, the bar & floor are kinda sticky. There was a bit of a smell (This was on a Sunday, so perhaps busy the night before). Very basic food menu, chicken & veggie burger, cheese sticks, poutine, onion rings, wings. That's about it. A chicken burger + pint ran me $32. I was sort of expecting lower given the vibes of the place but alright 🤷?♀?

Déçu service en anglais un peu français. Mon gars commandé le ragoût qui est supposé venir avec des frites mais voulais patate douce a la place car menu indiqué que tous les plats sont servis avec frites mais qu' on peut upgrader pour 5$ . Serveuse dit ne plus en avoir offre autre parmis les choix donc décide de prendre rondelles mais lui charge le prix d' un appetizer.

So my friends have told me for a while that this is a'must' in Montreal. I'm not that into Irish music…. & the environment hits anyone. It's amazing, super fun. If you have the chance ti see the video you can see how fun it is. We ordered a classic drink from there that is called Black velvet. Some locals would call it'Funky' hahaha but it's quite good. Arrive early so you can have a sit near the band. We arrived at 11:00 which was'just on time'.
A big thank you to Bill Hurley (owner) & Doug (Master of the Jameson pour…) & a few local patrons for your great conversation & hospitality. The food, drink & friendly atmosphere at Hurley's Irish Pub is second to none. A must visit when in Montreal.
Adoré l'atmosphère & la convivialité de l'endtoit.
J'étais chez Hurley's Pub pour écouter le groupe celtique SOLSTICE & pour encourager mon amie RACHEL CAMPBELL qui s'est joint à eux comme violoniste & back vocal.
Le joueur de flûtes: DAVE GOSSAGE , est absolument allucinant ainsi que le guitariste lead signer: PAT LESYK .
Le'local intime' du Hurley's, ou jouait le groupe , faisait en sorte que tous les clients se parlaient, tapaient du pied ou des mains à l'unisson... Ambiance enlevante & presque familiale.
Je ne consomme pas d'alcool depuis longtemps, mais je vais définitivement retourner chez HURLEY'S IRISH PUB pour y passer des super soirées musicales.
Very cool place with live music. Many tables!!!! Two floors. & just wish the AC was a bit stronger because its packed full of people. I really liked this place.
Not for young adults i will say 26+
Older adults will appreciate more this vibe than adults that is 18.
This place rescued our girls night! Great service, tasty food without a long wait, plenty of fun corners to find a table, & we got to see some GREAT local music too!
