Meh... typical tourist place, overpriced. Beer was sour & old. Service was average at best. Food was not great. Not to clean or comfortable either. There are so many better places nearby.

When I visit cities & walk around like a tourist, I love stopping into pubs for a beer to sit, reset, & reorient myself. Montréal didn't really deliver on that-not many pub style places were opened, or everything was closed or hidden behind Québec's national emblem: the construction cone 😄

So thank god for Pub John Michael's 🍻

Exactly what I needed. Cold pint, no hassle, & a warm, welcoming vibe right when I needed it most.

The Philly cheesesteak was a bit bready, but still delicious, & the fries were crispy & satisfying.

Service was friendly & efficient-quick, attentive, & no fuss.

Inside has that great pub feel with plenty of seating & TVs, but still relaxed enough to just sit back & recharge.

Price-wise, about $58 all-in (Philly, beer, & tip) felt steep-but hey, inflation hits us all these days.

Clutch stop when everything else seemed closed. Would absolutely come back.
