Visited McLean's Public House during our friend groups Yearly Holiday Guiness Pub Crawl, not only to was the Guine served to us by Emily the best one of the evening, her service was unreal. Couldn't ask for a quicker, & friendlier service, she was hilarious. Best pint & service yet!
Recently took a trip to Montreal & McLean's was my first stop & boy did they set the tone for what was a great vacation. Was warmly greeted by Abby who was not only attentive but kind & wonderful to talk to. Food was flavorful & filling. It was a bit slow but it didn't take away from the atmosphere. My only minor critique of the food was they need to crisp up their fries a bit more but their flavour was outstanding. Went the next night for The Blue Jays game & the vibe was everything you would want it to be. On my next trip to Montreal I will DEFINITELY be coming here for a pint & some food.
Ps. Love how they repurposed old kegs into urinals. A unique & quirky touch 😁

Needed a spot to relax after walking the strip. Found McLeans. Service was 12 out of 10. Both owner & Bartender made our day. We had already ate & were there at off peak time, so didnt get a meal but drinks & environment was top notch. Everyone is super friendly highly recommend & the plates I saw come out looked delicious!
McLean's Publique has a welcoming atmosphere & one of the best trivia nights in Montreal. Jesse is a dynamic & exceptionally well-prepared trivia host. Our waitress, Emily, always welcomes us with a smile & friendly conversation. Excellent service overall. Highly recommend.

We just wanted to thank Greg for his hospitality & great mixologist skills! Our group of four had a great time relaxing & having some laughs after attending a concert on March 19th. Greg's service was top notch & the snacks & drinks were fabulous! We felt very welcome at Maison Publique McLean's ! Merci, thank you! We hope to be back again!

We have been consistently going to Mclean's for all big sporting events for the past year or so. They always deliver. The service is great, the beers are great. & the food is just as good. They took a reservation of 10 for us for the four nations game & it was an incredible experience. Whether its NHL, UFC, or anything, Mcleans is a go to
I used to work around here & decided to have a little 5@7 with the old work colleagues here. This used to be the Carlos & Pepe back in the day, but it's been closed since before COVID. It's a downtown bar, so you kinda have to judge it at that level. Are drinks & food kinda pricey? Yeah, but I've seen worse elsewhere in the area. If you're sitting by the window, is it going to be loud/distracting? Yes, but there's plenty of room further back. Is beer selection kinda limited? Yes & no. It's one of those "lots of selection, but not much choice". It's all Labatt products, including the fake microbrews, but my pint of Guinness was fine. Service was good, they were friendly without hovering over us constantly. Apparently there's happy hour specials but we weren't informed about them. I'm sort of torn about the food. I ordered the poutine, my friends went for the burger & fish & chips. As much as their plates were gigantic, mine was kinda small for the price, & shredded cheese on a poutine? Blasphemy! But the fries & sauce were good. Ambiance is nice, it looks a lot like the old McLean's down the road but newer & cleaner, & more TVs. There's literally no bad seat here to watch whatever game is on. So when in the neighborhood I think it's a pretty good place to hang out.
Stopped at Pub McLean's to kill 15 minutes between busses but ended up staying for several beers & some fried mushrooms. Kilkennys were poured properly & excellent. The fried mushrooms were phenomenal. If we didn't have other plans we could have easily spent the rest of the day here. Great atmosphere & service!
