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 found this wonderful little pub on our last trip to Montreal. A big thank you to the manager Nadine & her staff for taking such good care of us on our multiple visits on this trip. Love their French onion soup & poutine!

The waiter was hard-working & doing a lot around the restaurant but he wasn't very friendly. We didn't even get food because the drinks were terrible, my little brother was sick for 2 days from their sex on the beach, it was super sugary & didn't even look or taste like the right drink. We used the restrooms on our way out & they were disgusting, there was barely room to sit in the women's room & in the men's my dad said there was a broken urinal with a trash bag over it. This is the worst place we went in Montreal. Save your time & money & don't go here.

Personnel très aimable, bonnes bières, mais temps d'attente beaucoup trop long. 1h05 en cuisine pour sortir 5 burgers (quelconques), une poutine & un fish & chips. N'y allez pas si vous êtes plus que 6.

We stopped in for a quick drink, as it's right near our apartment. First thing that struck us, was that it smells bad inside & looks dirty. I would never eat there, but the beer was good.
