Welcome to Le Vieux Dublin, Montréal's oldest Irish Pub. Located in the downtown core, the “Old Dublin” offers two bars, a seriously impressive list of imported and domestic beers on tap, an expansive food menu featuring award-winning burgers (some say they're the best in town), one of the best scotch lists on this side of the Atlantic and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere that has kept customers coming back for decades.
Le Vieux Dublin Pub & Restaurant is described as a warm, authentic Irish pub in Montreal with a strong focus on classic drinks like Guinness and a solid draft selection, while live music and a convivial crowd help create a quintessential pub vibe. The staff is generally friendly and attentive, contributing to many memorable experiences, though service can be uneven and a few orders may be forgotten or delayed. Food receives mixed notes, with some dishes praised for flavor and others described as bland or limited by ingredients, and some reviewers wish for a broader Irish beer and whisky selection. Overall, it remains a popular, lively spot for a pint and socializing, with great atmosphere and consistent highs in drink quality, but some visits highlight room for kitchen variety and service consistency.
The Old Dublin is a required stop for me as soon as I arrive in Montreal from Ottawa. My girl Arlene behind the bar always knows what I need - a tall crispy Guinness & to keep them coming. By far the best Guinness in all of Montreal. The vibe in the Old Dublin is the perfect quintessential Irish pub outside of Ireland. The clientele are fun & laid back, even after a long day at work. It is always a 10 star experience here! You know we will be back, Arlene! Looking forward to seeing you again!
Arlene was the BEST. So funny, fun, & genuinely made our night. It felt like hanging out with a friend rather than just being served. She kept us laughing & took amazing care of us the whole time. We'd come back just for her.

Bartenders are amazing, Arlene is wonderful & very welcoming, & really great to interact with. They have a great atmosphere, & live music. Awesome place to grab a beer.
We went as a huge group last night! Arlene & Mark are the best bar tenders. We had a great night! Thanks so much!!! Next time we are in Montreal we will stop by for sure. ❤️
Omg, 1st time here. Hotel is right around the corner (Birk Hotel) so how convenient. We 3 girls sat at the bar at 4 p.m. & as of 630 p.m. we're still here. Very friendly service, bartenders (Arlene & Marc) we're awesome. Recommended places that we inquired about; we snacked & ate here but needed to move on. Asked for recommendations & the bartenders were right on it. The food is Pub Fare & very very good. Would we come back? AB SA FAWK EN LOOTLY. Enjoy
We had a great service! Arlene was excellent, extremely welcoming! The food was delicious, especially the Duffy burger is to die for & the beers! I strongly recommend!!!
