Pros: Service friendly, great location
Cons: Brurgers were really bad & the soft drinks were a rip-off: Literally 10% drink 90%'jucky' ice.
Either just order a beer or rather look for another place.

Pretty typical pub food great fries. We got the basic poutine it was fine but nothing too exciting. The service was excellent & the patio was a great place to sit.

Being a local resident of Montreal, I try to avoid tourist traps in old Montreal. I knew walking in that I was going to pay way more then usuall. I ordered an overpriced I.P.A draft beer & a simple smoked meat sandwich, with salad instead of fries.The host was a young man who was very polite & friendly & gave me an available table at the far left side of the terrace. Choseing to face the North side I had a hanging plant, constantly slapping me in the back of my head. I tried wrapping it around the support piller with no long term results.The waiter was a polite young man who served me with the best intentions. Unfortunately the food could have been better for the prices that they charge.That part I didn't mind so much because you can't expect the same smoked meat quality as on the Main in Montreal. What really got under my skin was that nobody checked in on me after I got my meal. I had to wave down an other waiter, just to get some peper. After I finished my meal, & finished my beer, & I wanted to pay for my bill so I could leave.The young polite waiter who served me, was not properly trained. He was taking orders from new clients & walking away without looking around to see if his current clients needed anything.He kept walking back into the restaurant, empty handed with piles of empty dishes all around. He never looked around before leaving his area to see if anybody needed anything. I tried many times to get his attention, so that I could pay & go on my way.Unbelievably people are getting turned away because the place was full. I had to get up & walk to the front of the entrance & ask for my bill. The host said to follow him to the cash, I said no, I want to pay at my table because I want to leave. All in all I wasted twenty five minutes waiting for my bill, while they turned people away for being too busy. I let the polite young man know that I wasn't happy with the poor service. He apologized & was very humble in taking responsibility for the lack of good service. I calmly explained to him that I was a waiter for many years & I know good service when I see it. I personally don't blame him, I blame the owner & management for not properly training him for the job. His lack of initiative, could not be successful in a high paced environment like this. He deserved proper training because he is a find youge man with good manners. Manager, especially owner, do better in training your staff, its your responsibility!

There is definitely a cool sports bar kind of vibe & an enjoyable atmosphere. The food coming out looked decent but my fish & chips were really bad. Mashed cod in a rubbery corn dog batter (seen in photo). Like…why? My wife had the classic poutine & said it was ok. Our server was friendly but we only saw her once. I don't think it was bad enough for 2 stars but barely good enough for 3. They should just take the fish off the menu. The burgers looked good & so did the nachos. Too many other choices to return but if you want classic pub food, it's decent I guess.
