McKibbins Irish Pub offers a warm, festive Irish pub vibe with a broad beer list, hearty traditional dishes and generous portions, and live music or karaoke that many reviews say enhances the night. The atmosphere and staff are frequently praised for friendliness and attentiveness, making guests feel welcome and likely to return, though service can be inconsistent and occasionally slow during busy times. Food gets praise for comforting dishes like bison burger, Irish stew, and fish and chips, but several reviews note variability in quality and prep, with some items coming out greasy or underseasoned and drinks not always refilled promptly. Noise levels can be high, especially during sports events, and some comments compare the experience unfavorably to other McKibbins for sports coverage, but the terrace and overall vibe are often highlighted as a strong point, inviting repeat visits for a fun, sociable night out.
The music was fantastic & our server Fred was even better! There was never a moment I wanted a drink & she was not there. The best service I have ever had!!!
Fred was such an amazing waitress!! She provided quick service & was incredible throughout the whole night. Would highly recommend & will be going backn
Le service de la gérante Geneviève est inacceptable aucune considération de sa clientèle.
On a attendu 1h pour une bière & on a finit par boire de l'eau car ils ont décidé de changer le menu pour la Saint-Patrick sans mettre aucune affiche avant & pendant l'événement
Aller encourager un autre restaurant le meilleur choix que vous pouvez faire aujourd'hui
We called ahead today & were clearly told children were welcome until 7pm. We show up at 5pm & are turned away at the door.'18+ only, it's St. Patrick's.' No accountability, just'must've been a new waitress.'
This isn't just poor communication, it's dismissive & exclusionary. Irish pubs have a long tradition of being lively, family-friendly spaces, especially on St. Patrick's Day. This felt like the opposite: inconsistent, inauthentic, & frankly, a bit childist.
Disappointing, especially as long-time customers of the original location & someone who grew up celebrating here…even as a kid!
Pourquoi tant d'anglais dans ce pub. Même la télé est à TSN & non pas à TVA Spourts ou RDS. Pourquoi assimiler la majorité francophone ?
Un peu de fierté cibole !
