Review Summary

McKibbins Irish Pub comes across as a cozy, authentic Irish pub with a welcoming atmosphere where the beer and live music help create a lively social scene. The beer selection is frequently praised, with Guinness singled out as a must, and the menu delivers hearty favorites and big portions, from Irish stew and shepherds pie to fish and chips and bangers and mash, with some nights offering additional specialties. Staff are consistently described as friendly and efficient, contributing to quick service even when busy, and the overall vibe is ideal for watching sports or a casual night out with friends. While a few notes mention prices being a bit high and occasional menu items not meeting every expectation, the consensus emphasizes a memorable experience, good value for the atmosphere, and a sense of tradition that makes it feel like a little corner of Ireland. Overall McKibbins Irish Pub is a go-to for good beer, solid food, live music, and warm hospitality that draws locals and visitors alike.

After a disappointing experience elsewhere, my wife & I ended up at McKibbin's on St-Laurent on her birthday, & it completely turned our night around.

We were able to comfortably find seats at the bar right away & were quickly greeted by a very friendly bartender/server. She immediately took our drink order, brought menus, & made us feel welcome.

Our food arrived quickly & was delicious, we both had the bookmaker sandwich with fries & gravy. Service was attentive throughout, with regular check-ins & drink refreshes without ever feeling intrusive.

Overall, it was a relaxed, pleasant experience with great service & good food. Exactly what we were hoping for to end the evening on a positive note.

Bel endroit chaleureux pour passer une soirée.
Le service est relativement rapide, mais les serveurs sont un peu froids dans leurs interactions. Peut-être que c'était juste une mauvaise journée pour eux... l'anglais semble la langue employée en premier lors des interactions. Je sais que c'est un Pub Irlandais & que les étudiants de McGill adorent, mais bon. On reste au Québec

Toujours un plaisir d'aller au Mckibbins. Si vous avez envie d'un bon pub irlandais, c'est l'endroit ! Une belle décoration, un bon service, une bonne guinness & des plats authentiques comme le ragoût irlandais ou encore le banger & Mash.

Ma 2 expérience à ce PUB. Une fois en été sur la terrasse & cette fois-ci à l'intérieur par une journée extrêmement glaciale. Le décor est magnifique. Excellent service. Nourriture traditionnelle excellente & bonne portion. Guinesss Stout pour ma part qui est wow. Le seul bémol c'est qu'il faisait très très froid à l'intérieur & être obligée de garder mon manteau pour manger. La seule place où tu sens la chaleur du chauffage c'est dès que tu montes les marches pour aller aux toilettes des femmes en haut. Toilettes propre en passant. Je ne sais pas pourquoi c'est si froid. Les portes d'entrée ne sont pas isolantes donc ça n'aide pas. Hormis ce bémol, endroit typique de pub irlandais que je recommande.

Bustling with university students Friday & Saturday nights. Food average, but cocktails decent. Of course, Irish beer very good

Very cozy Irish pub, great variery of drinks & food & good prices. Really good spot to watch sports too, especially Canadiens matches. The nachos are extremely good, the french fries were not the best & the chicken tenders average.

A bastion of sanity in an otherwise French speaking metropolis. Food was wonderful & my guiness was tasty.

La nourriture & les bières sont bonnes, le service est cool & l'ambiance est chouette !
Le seul truc c'est que par moment le prix de la nourriture grimpe vite ( le prix des boissons semblent quant à lui plutôt correct !
