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.

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.

Pub John Michaels is a gem! I recently visited & had an amazing experience. The food was top-notch; everything was fresh & delicious. I particularly enjoyed the burger, which was juicy & packed with flavor. The service was also excellent staff were friendly, attentive, & made sure we had everything we needed.

Great location & terrace The food isn't too bad but too greasy but that's Montreal in general . The service is bad though. They do get a lot of traffic which makes it feel like they're doing you a favor by just allowing you into the place which comes with conditions . (If u want the terrace u have to eat & if u stay longer they will pass by 2-3 times to ask if you're done ) Which is funny because they disappear when you need something 🤣 I looked at a server & asked for cheque & all she did is look away & act like she didn't see me 😂 I think if someone works in service industry they should be trained for a certain level of traffic without thinking less of people they provide the service to.
