Came in on a Saturday lunchtime to watch England vs Ireland. The staff managed to put it on the TV & had some great craic with the bartender. Shoutout to Emmett for great service & being gracious at the 2-0 defeat! Best Guiness I've had this side of the pond & decent pub food as well. Will definitely return if I'm ever back in Montreal!

Fun lively Irish pub. The atmosphere is very homey, bar top tables, & silly Irish joke signs everywhere. The food is good, we got the poutine, shepard's pie, & the bison burger. Service was great, they were quick & attentive. Great place for a hangout with friends or to watch the game.
We decided to check out the Monday night comedy show at McKibbin's on our trip to Montreal & had the best time! Two straight hours of laughs in a great atmosphere for 8$ a person. The host (Johanna) did amazing crowd work & the bartender was on it all night. Would love to come back on a future trip. Merci bcp pour une très belle soirée pleine de rires!
Rien à redire sur le pub en lui-même. L'ambiance est vraiment sympa, & c'est vraiment agréable de pouvoir profiter de la terrasse en arrière. Ce qui est beaucoup moins agréable, c'est que la langue première est l'anglais. Poser une question en français & se faire répondre en anglais ne devrait pas arriver (problème qui n'est pas propre à ce bar mais à de nombreux établissements du centre-ville)
Darn good Shepard's pie! Great Irish bar down in the Montreal center. The atmosphere inside makes you feel right welcome & at home. Fish & Chips are also pretty good. Indoor seating, front street seating, & back terrace seating avaliable.
In Montreal for a week,& this bar is handy for my accommodation!Great Guinness,Pironi on tap,loved their Shepherds pie,looking forward to trying some more food on the menu.I can see myself coming here every night during my stay,the ladies serving are friendly & very efficient;plays great music,& the guy playing acoustic/harmonica tonight is very good,playing some real classics!

The draught beer is awful - both pints I ordered were flat on arrival to the table so I switched to bottles. Pity as the bar is really nice, had good music & the servers are very friendly hence the four stars.
A classic student bar, with easy predictable food & drinks. It hasn't changed in decades & that's okay. The food is tasty, the drinks are well priced & the staff is friendly, you can't ask for much more in the are.
McKibbin's had the best service out of all the restaurants & pubs we went to in Montreal last week! The main floor was packed, so we found a table upstairs. The atmosphere was nice & it was only a little bit busy. Despite a crowded bar, the bartender was quick to take my order & did everything right. I took our pints back to our table & waited for the food. Our onion rings & french fries were delievered in no time & they were really nicely done. I would definitely recommend McKibbin's to anyone looking for a great beer spot with friends!

Decent Irish bar. I stopped in to watch the rugby & sat at the bar. The service was great & they had my next pint ready to go when I needed it.
I will definitely be back.
I highly recommend this place! I was here during the afternoon to do some work & have a beer & the bartender was THE SWEETEST person! The way she treated everyone, as well as me, was perfection. She even brought my pint to me & then came back with napkins to wipe the side of the glass because "it gets sticky if I leave it". That's the nicest thing & really shows she cares about her customers having the best time.
Bon pub d'étudiants, avec un petit buffet gratuit "cheap" de légumes & saucisses déjeuner: efficace pour débuter la soirée ou accompagner une bière en fin de session quand le porte-feuille est plus vide que plein
Le service est ok & ils ont des spécialités intéressantes que d'autres pubs n'ont pas (Bières MacAuslan, burger au cheddar à la Guiness, etc.) Les Fish & Chips sont dans la catégorie "très bien"
Les double Jameson du happy hour sont aussi très appréciés.
Par contre, il faudrait que quelqu'un avertisse les pubs anglo de Montréal que mettre du fromage orange râpé sur une poutine, ça ne se fait pas, point final.
Le 2e étage est très cool avec le petit bar & les tables en alcôves. La terrasse à l'arrière est un peu ennuyante & laide, mais au moins ils en ont une (pas évident au centre-ville)!
