Our FAVORITE place ever! My husband & I visit all the time, the food is delicious & we love that it is not loud as other bars, we can sit in the bar & enjoy our drinks while chatting & watching the games.
The staff is so nice! Brian is serving us as soon as he sees us entering the bar. See you soon!!
- The guinness & the cider guys :)
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
Was there yesterday for the Ireland Rugby game , was 15 minutes waiting on a corona when I first sat at the bar before switching too a table , server was good then, the main bar tender seemed a a bit drunk as was doing shots with customers regularly (maybe this is normal in Montreal I don't know) - got charged my friends drinks on my tab even though he had already covered his. Seems very unorganized kind of place, wouldn't rush back .

We had an incredible experience here, thanks to our amazing server, Emily! She was super fast, energetic, & incredibly friendly. Emily went above & beyond to keep us happy. Her thoughtful & upbeat personality truly stood out. She's an absolute sweetheart & a huge asset to the restaurant. Can't wait to come back & hope to have her again!
I visited two nights ago, & while the staff were very welcoming, unfortunately, the food did not meet expectations. It appeared to be overcooked, which affected the overall experience.
We stopped by for a beer & some snacks. Ordered: • Drunken Mushrooms • Samosa Both came in generous portions, were fragrant, well seasoned, crispy outside. Staff are attentive, fast with serving & friendly. Location, pub style. If you sit at a hight table, it may get tight with the neighbours at the table next to you (back to back).
Fantastic venue a very short walk from the hotel. Very warm & welcoming staff providing fantastic service. Beer & food were superb. The venue was packed on both of the evenings that I visited. First evening Iron Maiden were playing at the Bell Centre & the second evening Bruce Springsteen was in town. I highly recommend this establishment.
I've been to Maison Publique a few times recently & it's been nothing short of great. I loved the food, drinks & atmosphere & the service is fantastic. I also attended some work events here & the team was always kind & super accommodating. Highly recommended!
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.
