John Michael's Pub feels like a reliable, welcoming spot in Montreal with a classic pub vibe, ample seating and TVs, and friendly, efficient service even during busy times; diners praise hearty options like poutine, fish and chips, burgers, and Philly cheesesteak, along with solid drinks and generous portions, though prices can be high and a few reviews note occasional service or music missteps; overall the place comes across as a casual, comfortable spot for meals, drinks, and catching sports, with atmosphere that invites a return visit.
Has a great patio. Good view if you like to people watch. We had a musical group set up right in front of us, which added a nice ambiance. Decent choice of wine & beer that will cover almost anyone's taste.
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.

Great burgers on a nice terasse right in the middle of old montreal. Great spot when it gets chilly as they have these awesome heaters outside. Their club sandwich is a much
Most welcoming place I've been to in Montreal!!! Dom & Gabriella are the best! Try the fire burger & any drink, you can't go wrong! True professionals! Loved it!
Vraiment parfait comme ambiance. Un violoniste juste aux abords qui offre un excellent spectacle & la cuisine est excellente. J'ai mangé une salade avec saumon & vraiment la portion était parfaite. Rapidité du service & prix très abordable! Nous avons choisi ce restaurant juste avant d'aller voir le Cirque du Soleil!
Stopped in here for a few drinks, after a full day walking around Old town, atmosphere was great, staff were friendly, I would have stayed longer but we had reservations
