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.
Usually the food here is really good. Don't go on a Wednesday night: they ran out of fish for fish & chips, & the beef au jus was served in a soggy hot dog bun. The very plain burger's bun was the same, soggy, the fries as if they had sat for a while.
Go on the weekend when it is busier, & you will get good food with excellent beverages served by fun staff.

We waited a bit on the first floor for someone to notice us, & since it was not happening decided to head upstairs… We did not regret it : the service by Akira at the bar was lovely, nachos & beer was exactly what we needed, & the live music made the experience go from a nice to an awesome time. Nous y reviendrons! 🍻
Quel bel endroit, le serveur au bar super gentil & efficace, le nachos & la rondelle d'oignon était très bon. Très belle ambiance, nous aimons bien y aller, Nous y avons passer un très beau moment.
Of all the pubs & bars in Montreal this is one of my favoritie's great cozy ambience for a night out, great wings & the live music is top notch! Deifnitely worth it if you can get in there for St Patrick's day!!!
They didn't have around six different beers offered in the menu. & 1 out of 3 tequilas in the menu. Plus. I was expecting that they had at least 1 Mexican beer. Ha. Just kidding. The seas may get a refurnished. As they are OLD. But it was ok in general.

Très bel endroit, un peu cher mais pour l'ambiance ça va. Le service n'est pas toujours en français, mais ils sont très sympathiques. La musique en live est très agréable. La nourriture & les boissons sont bonnes.
