Review Summary

John Michael's Pub is widely regarded as a welcoming destination in the heart of Old Montreal, frequently praised for its vibrant atmosphere, spacious patio, and accommodating staff. Guests often highlight the generous portions of comfort food, such as the popular poutine, burgers, and fish and chips, alongside a solid selection of beers and cocktails. While most experiences emphasize efficient and friendly service, particularly from attentive bartenders and servers who go above and beyond to assist guests, a few reviewers noted inconsistencies regarding pricing, noise levels, or occasional service delays. Despite some mixed feedback on costs and specific menu items, the establishment remains a go-to spot for travelers and locals looking to enjoy live sports, a relaxed drink, or a satisfying meal in a classic pub setting.

We were in Montreal for the Formula One race, & John Michael's was exceptional! The atmosphere was great, the service was spectacular, the beers were great & it was just a great feeling. We have to highlight & recommend this place because of the service, particularly Abby, the hostess, who took exceptional care of us. While we were there, we lost something in the restaurant that was very near & dear to us. Abby took down our number & kept in contact with us & was able to locate our missing item 10 days later. It meant the world to us! This is the quality of people that you are associating with in this pub. They care & they bring you into their city. Thank you so much Abby for making our experience at John Michael's a memorable one for the rest of our lives. We love Montreal. We loved John Micheal's. We are indebted to Abby!

John Michael's Pub was amazing! We're here on a winter pilgrimage with our youth group & had some free time to grab lunch & explore the area. We stumbled upon this local gem & couldn't have been happier.

Our server, Guillermo (Guillaume in French - forgive me if I misspelled it!), was absolutely wonderful. His service was impeccable-kind, attentive, & welcoming.

The food was delicious 😋 We ordered the fish & chips, a burger, & a chicken sandwich-everything was excellent. I also enjoyed a local IPA, & my husband had an alcohol-free beer.

Thank you for such a great experience. We all truly enjoyed it & definitely recommend stopping by!

The poutine was good, but it was also $23. The drinks are expensive too, & my friend said his rum & coke wasn't great. My Mojito was $17💀

Also, the funniest bit was that after a song played, I heard'Want a break from the ads?' blast through the speakers. Damn, for how expensive the food is you wonder where the money goes🥀(for the uninitiated, that's what Spotify plays in between songs when you have the free tier, the paid tier is like $10)

Wouldn't recommend because of the price (good food & service but was not worth what I paid), & avoid buying drinks there at all costs.

The smoked meat poutine was great, however I couldn't finish all of it. Staff were accomodating after we asked to move outside, partially due to the questionable choice in background music. Great atmosphere & some good options. Would recommend.
