Emily served us the best Guinness in Montreal so far. She definitely deserves that Guinness sweater, adds to the atmosphere

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 :)

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.

Brilliant service the three times I've been. I have a slight preference for the aesthetic of the bar on the second floor, but love the atmopshere of the main floor. Tried the vegan-fish tacos, absolutely floored, especially since they do them on blue corn tortillas. Perfect pint of Guinness each time.
