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.

Food was fine, nothing special. Fries were good, & fish & chips was ok, but I've had better. Service was very slow, with the waiter taking a long time to wait on us & never refilled my water glass.

I love pubs. I've been to many pubs around the world, & I can say, without a doubt, this place baffled me like no other. Waited 25 minutes on a burger & fries. It wasn't busy & it was a Monday night. The burger arrived on a soggy bun & a thick misshappen DRY patty. Not very good. I also couldn't understand why a pub in this prime location uses takeaway condiments for everything. Very strange & wasteful. I suppose this review won't matter, they get a lot of foot traffic, so they'll continue to be popular with most tourists. There are better pubs in Montreal.

They wont serve you if you dont get food, so, for a pub, it was quite unusual to not be able to just get a beer. Hostess was very polite & kind though. This was F1 weekend so it was even more unexpected.

They should remove the reservation link on their website since they are not accepting any.

Good vibes in this place. We were looking for a place to watch the NBA finals & have a beer. This place worked great. The beer was a bit expensive ($12 for a draught), but it's in the old city/tourist area, so that's what we get.

Great place to hang out on a hot day to lounge in the shade, to get some good food & a cold beer while watching the people go by.

We were welcomed warmly & the atmosphere was perfect. We received our cocktails & I was thinking to give 5 stars. Unfortunately our burgers were at burger king level not a pub. The fries were the worse I had ever tasted . I think I won't try here again.
