Mathias & Zachary were very nice! Great service really chill guys. Well located in old port + all the sports events that you ask for. Highly recommend!!! Food was amazing as well for a pub.
We were caught in a sudden downpour &, naturally, ran into the first bar we found. The atmosphere was great, once they fixed the playlist that kept skipping. The drinks & nachos were delicious!
The food was amazing! I had some poutine & it was fantastic! The atmosphere of the place is great too, great location, & decorated nicely. The people working there are very kind & welcoming to customers.
The staff is absolutely nice. The guy who served us was really helpful & nice. We asked for nachos but they weren't that good compared with the price, but for the main dish we asked for Philly cheese & John Michael's Burger & they were amazing!! Big portions.
Un petit bijou au Vieux Port. Je cherchais un endroit "cozy" pour manger une poutine & prendre une bonne bière. Très content d'avoir trouvé le Pub John Michaels. Service impeccable & bonne poutine. Merci à Mathias & Nicolas pour l'excellent service. Nous reviendrons, c'est certain.
Stopped by for a quick beer, inside is really nice & cozy & during summer it has a patio outside, classic pub I'd say, location is great & prices are fair, didn't try the food but it looked good even though some items were a bit on the expensive side, would try it out if I'm again in the area, beers were great!
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.
