If you're the kind of person who likes playing pool, great drinks and great food for cheap Mad Hatters is where you should go. It’s located at the center of Crescent Street, but curtained off from St. Catherine. Even though the décor is rustic, the vibe here is still relaxed (at least until the late hours, when a DJ often appears and things become more clubby).

Review Summary

Mad Hatter Pub is described as a lively dive bar with pool, ample seating, and cheap drinks that attract a big weekend crowd and a city vibe. The vibe is often praised as fun and authentic with friendly staff and good service when things run smoothly. Some reviews warn of long waits to be served, crowded nights, and inconsistent or unprofessional service, and a few patrons mention feeling unsafe or uncomfortable due to other guests. Cleanliness issues are noted, including a persistent odor and sticky surfaces in the bathrooms, and at times there is no food offered or heating in cold weather. Overall it remains a popular spot for drinks and games, though guests advise caution about crowding, cleanliness, and safety.

Mad Hatter's is still one of the best dive bar in town, if you are looking to feel the vibe of the city get a few drinks, shooters & speak with the locals, this is one of the perfect place & it has been for more than 30 years (even though it move quite a few times, it remained its authenticity & charm).

I would think twice if you want to bring a first date here, but I would personally do it, I just love dive bars.

(Staff is always super friendly)

Mad hatter is just our vibe. It is dimly lit, has pool tables, & everything you would hope for in a fun night out! Everything about it, we just love. Highly recommend it!

Sick vibes on holidays & weekends. Full of frat boys if you're into that. Embrace the creeps, you'll get free drinks 😍

I've been frequenting this bar for the last three years, & it has definitely lost most of its vibe & atmosphere. The bathrooms are often times broken or dirty (smells of vomit even during early opening hours 6-7pm) The floor in the pub is sticky & smelly

Wanted more maybe, the off night since jazz fest maybe? Not sure, definitely would go again though. Enjoyed the mix of people, the drinks, the vibe was interesting. It was right around the corner from my Hostel so kinda late getting there..

Olivier s'est super bien occupé de nous tous tout au long de la soirée avec un sourire & une super bonne vibe! Le service peut être difficile quand les gens d'un groupe arrive à différentes heures, mais il a tout géré comme un pro! Merci encore!
