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 offers a warm, cozy Irish pub vibe with live music and a friendly atmosphere, and many reviewers praise the beer and whisky selection along with solid drinks; however, some diners note a menu that lacks finesse and occasional inconsistencies in food, such as orders forgotten or dishes that fall flat. The experience is described as welcoming and social, with service that is often attentive and personable, even when first impressions are mixed. The ambience can be lively and noisy at times, but the overall mood is described as authentic and enjoyable. Overall, it is seen as a popular spot for a pint and casual bites, drawing repeat visitors who appreciate the energy, the classic pub feel, and the promise of good times despite occasional menu or service hiccups.
Went in for a single beer & the bartender tries to make me feel bad for not tipping her. She said she doesn't earn enough so no tip is not appreciated, as if it's my responsibility to pay her wage. Extremely rude & entitled, would never go back again
Was there in April, great beer selection bartender was salty at first but she was actually really great & personable & loved us even being from Florida. I would highly recommend this ba
I would give 10 stars for service if I could. Man oh man the bartender/server Chris was so good I thought he owned the place. I'm a company owner & if I knew I had an employee this good I would be giving him shares in my company. We watched him impress every guest that came in here. We had some calamari that was great. But the only thing I can talk about is Chris & his charismatic personality. His beer recommendations were absolutely perfect.
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 were doing a walking pub crawl, when we stopped here. The bartender was very friendly, prompt service. We didn't eat but the menu was standard pub fare.
Food was tasty & good portions, beer selection was cold & plentiful, bartender was excellent & friendly. What else do you want in a pub Will be back next trip.
We sat at the bar for dinner. The fact that it wasn't busy on a Saturday night should have told us something. After a couple beers, we ordered chicken fingers with onion rings & fish & chips. Both were large portions & the quality was good but not great. It irritated us that we were charged $.75 for an extra tartare sauce. Our bartender Tara was personable & efficient. But we wish we had waited in line for our first choice.
Visiting from Alberta, had a great time here. Awesome beers & the BEST customer service from our bartender, Chris. We will be back for sure for the incredible service alone.
Our 2nd time there. This will probably be a must visit for us moving forward when we come to Montreal. They have live music Tuesdays to Saturdays. We love the bartender. Great personality. We had recognized her from the 1st time that we tried this place out over a year ago. Even though she was busy, she took the time to ask us where we were from & talked with us through out the evening. Really great place & good service.
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
One of the best bars in Montreal The owner puts a lot of effort into having a good selection of good quality whiskeys available for the customers The bartender Myriam is kind & attentive to the customer's needs
When traveling in any town a visit to an Irish Pub is always in order. Le Vieux Dublin in Montreal did not disappoint. There was 1 bartender who handled a full bar & a few tables & made it look easy. There were many great Irish Whiskey selections & it seemed many more pint options. The customers were friendly & even bought me a couple pours of good whiskey. Guys....be sure to checkout the urinals.
