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
The ambiance was great, but the beer selection was rather average. There were no specialty beers, & I was expecting a wider choice of Irish beers. They only offer the standard options, which is acceptable but disappointing given the theme.
The service was mediocre. My nachos order was forgotten, & they only arrived after I asked twice. When they finally came, they were very disappointing. Even my five-year-old could have done better. Nachos without jalapenos are simply not nachos.
Happy hour menu is more expensive than regular menu.
Waitress charged me the price of a premium beer but I had ordered the local beer.
Be careful & watch your receipt ! Unfortunately I was in a rush to leave.
I have not had a chance to sample the food. I have been too busy trying the many beers they have on tap! The wait staff is friendly & courteous. They will make drink recommendations when asked. It usually has a fun, Irish Pub kind of feel as the night wears on.

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.
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.

Fun classic pub with amazing burgers & a great selection of drinks. Many choices of beers & liquors that fuel a great night. There are multiple floors so there was lots of room for our larger group. The live music helped build a fun atmosphere at night.
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.
