John Michael's Pub comes across in reviews as a lively, welcoming sports pub in Montreal's old port with strong service and solid pub fare. Patrons repeatedly praise attentive staff and efficient service, even when busy, and note a friendly atmosphere that makes it a reliable spot for groups and solo visitors alike. The menu shows crowd-pleasers like fish and chips, burgers, poutine, and chicken sandwiches, with several mentions of delicious meals and large portions. Beer lovers highlight a good local IPA selection and a generally reasonable price for the area, though a few reviews call some drinks pricey. The pub reliably shows games on multiple TVs, including NFL and other sports, and the ambiance can shift with live music or a lively crowd, which some enjoy and others find less ideal due to background music or noise. Outdoor seating with heaters and a comfortable interior add to the appeal. Overall, it is depicted as a reliable pub for good food, solid drinks, and sports viewing in a central location.
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.
Great meal - the Caesar Salad was good although a little light on the chicken. The burger & fries - yummy!! Our server couldn't have been sweeter! & nice patio seating when the weather allows.
Went in here after being treated to bad service at Maggie Oakes. My partner & I had low expectations since the place looked like a dive bar. We were seated by a really nice host & our server was an absolute sweetheart. The biggest shock was the food, my burger was really well-made. My partner got the salad & she was shocked about how fresh it looked. It was well-prepared & delicious. Couldn't say anything bad about this place.
