This was not our first visit to McKibbin's Irish Pub Dix 30, but we felt compelled to leave another review following our most recent experience, particularly because of the exceptional service we received.

The terrasse is beautiful, thoughtfully designed, & surrounded by abundant greenery, creating a pleasant & inviting atmosphere. It is clearly a well-maintained space & a wonderful place to enjoy a meal & a drink.

As usual, the food was very good & met our expectations. However, what truly distinguished this visit was the quality of the service.

We were served by Benoit R., & we can honestly say that this was the best service experience we have ever had at McKibbin's Irish Pub Dix 30. Benoit was attentive, courteous, friendly, & exceptionally professional throughout our visit. His attention to detail & genuinely welcoming attitude made a very positive impression on us.

Excellent service can make a significant difference in the overall dining experience, & Benoit certainly contributed to making our visit an enjoyable one.

Thank you, Benoit, for your outstanding service & professionalism. It was very much appreciated.

Pub irlandais typique avec une belle terrasse. Il faut stationner à l'arrière & marcher quelques minutes (devant piétonnier). Une seule serveuse en devoir un mardi midi (calme) même en patinant bien, le service était lent. Les fish & chips étaient toutefois superbement délicieux & généreux, malgré une erreur désagréable, un morceau pas assez cuit. L'erreur fut corrigée rapidement & efficacement (sinon un 5 aurait été approprié pour la cuisine). La salade de choux sortait de l'ordinaire. Beau menu varié de spécialités irlandaises & bières variées, le tout à prix raisonnables.
À visiter, si le dix30 ne vous agace pas trop.

Great pub! Love the vibe inside! Service was amazing! Food portions were huuuuge so we ended up ordering too much. Food was delicious, loved the quesadillas! We all could have done a better job at reading the description on the menus but also I wish they had nugged us a little on how much food there was gonna be cause I really hate wasting food. But overall, we had a great time!

Typical pub atmosphere; raucous & jubilant especially during the world cup when I visited.
I had the Bangers & Mash; served with onion rings (a nice twist) & bacon. For me, the bacon was not necessary; it makes the dish too salty.
Service was good & the Guinness was poured properly.

Mckibbin's Dix30 c'est super bien. Le service est bon la bouffe est bonne & étant un fan de Mckibbin's depuis le début, ça fait plus de 25 ans que je vais au Mckibbin's du centre ville sur Bishop. C'est juste le meilleur pub irlandais!!!🍻

Pareil au DIX30. Super comme endroit pour toutes les mêmes raisons cités ci-dessus.

Jasmine a été super🍻

I have always loved going to this pub, especially this location, which is very convenient because of the easy parking. The food is amazing, especially the stew. I usually find it delicious, but this time I felt really deceived. There were only four tiny pieces of meat in it. At first, I thought there was enough meat, but in the end, it was mostly pieces potatoes.

I complained to the waitress, but all she did was say,'I'll pass your message on to the kitchen.' I was hoping to receive at least a discount, but I was fully charged for what felt like a plate of sauce & potatoes.

Saving money lowering the quality is not exactly the best practice.

I have recommended this place to my friends, but after this experience, I don't think I will continue doing so.

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!
