Review Summary

McKibbins Irish Pub offers a classic Irish pub experience with a beautiful historic setting, warm and welcoming staff, and a lively atmosphere that shines on busy nights. The beer selection, especially Guinness, is described as fresh and satisfying, with happy hours and a broad range of drinks that attract regulars. Food is consistently praised for pub fare and large portions, with wings and fries, bison burger and shepherds pie mentioned positively, though a few reviews note price levels. Comedy and live music are standout draws, with Monday and Tuesday shows and a club vibe upstairs adding to the overall enjoyment. While some reviews mention cleanliness concerns, occasional price quirks on late night menus, and rare issues with seating or noise, the collective impression is a go-to spot for a good night out in Montreal. The venue's multiple ambiences, from intimate bar seating to a back terrace and upstairs performance space, make it a versatile hangout for sports, dining and entertainment.

I chatted with two young strangers at the bar here for so long that my girlfriend (who is very beautiful) got very mad at me. The young strangers & I talked about life, love, the city, the future, the past, even our hopes & dreams. They were ex lovers who maintained a very strong bond of friendship. I do not remember their names, but I wish them both beautiful & fulfilling lives. The Guinness was excellent!!

Qualité de la nourriture impécable. Par contre, avoir une serveuse qui ne parle pas en français à Montréal, en tant que Québécois, j'ai trouvé ça insultant.

McKibbins on Bishop is the original, &, in my opinion, the best location of this beloved Irish pub, & it's my go-to spot in Montréal for a good pint of Guinness. Housed in a beautiful turn-of the century mansion, it serves solid pub fare (don't miss the wings or the chips with curry sauce) in a lively, traditional setting. Swing by on Monday nights for the weekly comedy show upstairs(in English) & be sure to grab a seat toward the back unless you want to become part of the act! Come St. Patrick's Day, the entire place is packed from top to bottom, making it the city's marquee venue for the holiday.
Sláinte!

Been here several times, a regular spot for me. Nothing to note that other reviews have already done but I will note that there was an awesome dude woth a guitar there 2 or 3 weeks ago who sung johnny cash songs with a perfect ear & voice plus was accommodating enough to play an Irish song at the request of a customer which was pretty good form on his part.

Brightened my day that week after a long & tiring day of studying.
