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).
Mad Hatter Pub offers a lively, budget friendly dive bar vibe with games like pool, billiards, ping pong and Jenga and a wide variety of affordable drinks. The scene is busy on weekends and karaoke on Thursdays is a popular draw. The place has lots of seating and a casual social atmosphere, but cleanliness and odors are mentioned in some visits and there are occasional safety or crowding concerns. Service can be friendly and efficient at times, though experiences with staff are mixed. No food is served, and the overall vibe ranges from energetic and fun to slightly gritty depending on the night.
Pro: the raspberry lemonade is delicious, the atmosphere/look of the place is pretty cool, the servers are nice Neutral: the food was ok. I liked the butter chicken well enough, it was fine. Cons: tables were sticky, service is very very slow, it is so cold inside in winter we basically had to keep our coats on, the music was too loud to talk comfortably
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

Nous cherchions un bar où jouer au billard, & nous avons trouvé l'endroit parfait. Les parties sont presque données pour Montréal : seulement 2 dollars ! Même chose pour le ping-pong : pour 5 dollars, vous pouvez louer des raquettes & jouer toute la soirée. Les boissons, alcoolisées ou non, restent très abordables. L'ambiance est conviviale, avec un éclairage tamisé & des banquettes moelleuses, parfaites pour se remettre de l'intensité des matchs. Je recommande chaudement ce bar, on y a passé une bonne soirée !
Okay so we've been to this bar a lot. A while ago they used to have food, we haven't been able to acquire food at this bar for a while now, which is so unfortunate because the food is CRAZYYY good. The service is typically quite good too! Waiters lovely, but once again we have not had a waiter for a while (they're honestly probably understaffed). We went on a Friday night. The 1L drinks are our favorite drinks to get (I personally love the 1L raspberry lemonade, the peach Julep too goes crazzzyy). The bar is unfortunately typically sticky & the bathrooms in rarely good condition BUT LOOK everything works, the people are nice & it's a great place to go with friends for drinks & food.
The karaoke was on loud speakers the whole night making it somewhat difficult to have a good time. Besides that the drinks were good & the pool table was cheap $2 in coins.
