Review Summary

John Michael's Pub comes across in reviews as a lively, welcoming sports pub in Montreal's old port with strong service and solid pub fare. Patrons repeatedly praise attentive staff and efficient service, even when busy, and note a friendly atmosphere that makes it a reliable spot for groups and solo visitors alike. The menu shows crowd-pleasers like fish and chips, burgers, poutine, and chicken sandwiches, with several mentions of delicious meals and large portions. Beer lovers highlight a good local IPA selection and a generally reasonable price for the area, though a few reviews call some drinks pricey. The pub reliably shows games on multiple TVs, including NFL and other sports, and the ambiance can shift with live music or a lively crowd, which some enjoy and others find less ideal due to background music or noise. Outdoor seating with heaters and a comfortable interior add to the appeal. Overall, it is depicted as a reliable pub for good food, solid drinks, and sports viewing in a central location.

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!

Super awesome location & atmosphere. Not that many tables but gives off the perfect pub/ cozy dinner vibe with friends. We got our dinner fairly quickly, which was awesome. While my veggie burger & sweet potatoe fries were delicious (seriously some of the best fries I've ever had), my friend wasn't too thrilled about her chicken tenders. Her drink was to her liking though. My mother's club sandwich was also really good, & they're pretty chill with vegetarian option. The place is clean, which is always a good sign. Nichola & Mathaias were super! In short, awesome place to go for a nice dinner.

It was pretty average experience, I wouldn't usually write a review but I was just a bit disappointed as the reason we picked to eat here was for it's menu options they showed online but then once we sat down they didn't have a lot of those items. I ended up getting the smoked meat sandwich as I was intrigued that it had pickles & coleslaw but then I got it & it was only smoked meet & mustard. It wasn't very busy but still took a long time to get water to the table & our drinks. The waitress was nice but didn't seemed to concerned about the differences I pointed out from the online menu.

Great burgers on a nice terasse right in the middle of old montreal. Great spot when it gets chilly as they have these awesome heaters outside. Their club sandwich is a much

We stopped by their patio for a quick drink & bite on a hot afternoon. Excellent service, & I was really pleased with the quality of the food & the portion sizes! The club sandwich was delicious, as the fresh french fries, & everyone at our table enjoyed their food as well! A pleasant surprise for a pub.

We went as a group of 7 with no reservation around 1pm. Food was okay. But the French onion soup was so peppery it couldn't be eaten we had to send it back. So don't order the French onion soup here. The smoked meat poutine was tasty as were the sandwiches. Bathroom was very dirty

Déçu, voulais un sandwich & ils n'avaient pas de pain Un peu étrange quand le menu consiste en partie de sandwich ... il ne restait que le choix de burgers ou poutine.
