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.
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!
Beau Irish pub avec grand choix de bière & de repas typiques. On se croirait en voyage! En plus, le personnel est sympathique & de bon conseil. J'ai adoré mon expérience!

Good pub & often good live music. But compared to the other Mckibbins not good for live sports EPL football(soccer) & Rugby. For an Irish pub I think this is fairly important & would be great to have on the south shore.
Amazing table service at McKibbin's Irish Pub! Farah was funny, thoughtful, & a total joy. She even remembered my exact drink order from my last visit - truly impressive.
It's rare to come across service that makes you feel remembered rather than just served, & Farah does exactly that. She made our evening feel relaxed, special, & fun.
Give this woman her flowers - she's a star ⭐?
Fantastic Irish pub with a warm, welcoming atmosphere!! The staff are friendly, the pints 🍺 are poured perfectly & the food is hearty & delicious 😋. The live music adds to the charm, making it the perfect spot for a fun & enjoyable night out. Highly recommend it!!
Absolutely loved the Irish stew! 🥘 The portion size was generous - I even had enough to take some home. The prices were outstanding & very reasonable for the quality of the food. The bangers & mash were also delicious! The only thing I would've loved to see is some Irish music playing - the current playlist didn't quite give off that cozy pub vibe.
We went to McKibbin's Irish Pub DIX30 yesterday. This place is very clean, very friendly work staff, our waitress Sophie was excellent, & she had an awesome personality. We absolutely loved the Guiness Nachos. I enjoyed having Moosehead Lager on tap there too. This was our first time here, & we look forward to coming back. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Parfait irish pub, offre une belle selection de whisky! l'ambiance est excellente pour une soirée entre amis, l'endroit fait souvent appel à des groupes de musique plus tard en soirée !
Good Irish Pub: Great atmosphere, tv screens all over the place to watch sports, good music, amazing service, great variety of both imported & local beers. Highly recommended!
Standard pub food, good but excessive salty. Service was on par. Music is horrendous. Basically chom 97.7 blasting Brian Adams. There is zero Irish pub vibe in this joint. Music plays a major role in the feels. Felt like I was at st Hubert bbq with the modern style decor. Overall - if you're looking for a nice Irish pub experience, cozy atmosphere with traditional music & positive vibes, -do not go here.
