Located in a historic turn of the century stone mansion McKibbin's has quickly developed a reputation of being Montreal's eating and drinking emporium. Situated at 1426 Bishop Street, named after the McKibbin's from Ireland.
Our Specialties
The Burgers, Fish & Chips, Their Famous Wings "Rim Reaper" (known as the hottest in canada), Tap Beer and Scotches.
McKibbins Irish Pub comes across as a versatile downtown favorite with a lively, welcoming vibe, excellent Guinness and pub fare, and a calendar full of events from sports viewing to standup comedy and live music. The back patio is a highlight and the overall atmosphere blends traditional Irish charm with modern crowds, making it a dependable spot for a casual night out or a night of laughs. The menu offers a satisfying range from wings and nachos to burgers and bison, with consistently friendly service across shifts. Regulars point to Monday and Tuesday comedy nights and upstairs shows as a big draw, while the bar and beer selection keep the energy high on weekends and sports nights. Overall, it presents as a dependable, bustling institution with great drinks, good food, and strong entertainment options that suit a variety of tastes and occasions.
My review is very specifically showing up when it was super busy & crowded. While it chilled out before we left it was a little chaotic.
The food wasn't bad the, the Guinness burger was really good & the leek & chicken pie was delicious, but neither was out of this world (though the first bite of the burger was close.
With all the busy the server was on top of it, while the crowd felt a little over whelming when the kitchen missed our order it was fixed quickly & dealt with by the server.
I would try the place again when calmer in a heartbeat.
A beautiful historic pub with a fantastic vibe & a delicious bison burger (just like I remember it from 20 years earlier!)
We came here for comedy on the second floor - that was so much fun! Be sure to come early to get good seats & be aware because of the age of the building to arrive early
The staff were so fantastic & helpful for those in our group with reduced mobility - thank you!

The service was satisfactory, but the food was excessively expensive. A cocktail & a burger cost $50. Additionally, the back open area had two large rats running underneath the chairs.
Great time at McKibbin's! You must check out Monday Comedy (MTL Comedy Club) also on Monday night at McKibbin's. It was great to enjoy great food & comedy on the same night.
We ordered the 1/2 McKibbin's burger, substituted with salad instead of chips & the Quincy's Quesadillas (roasted veggies). The Raspberry Mojito mocktail was a refreshing treat. Both tasted awesome. When we visit Montreal again will come back to McKibbin's.
I have been eating bison burgers & drinking Guinness at this bar for over 10 years. They have a great selection of both Irish beer & food. The live music & comedy shows are always a great experience. The only thing I recommend customers avoid are the chicken wings, it's not worth the free T-shirt.
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.
A main street pub that has something to keep you interested every night (lots of live music) . The food is above most in the area when comparing to other pub style establishments. I always enjoy the Buffalo burger & fully loaded nachos. They have daily specials that are always interesting. If they get busy be prepared to wait a little.
Great food, friendly & attentive staff, & a warm atmosphere at the McKibbins on Bishop are refreshingly consistent every time I've been here. Their fries, regular & sweet potato, & nachos are ALWAYS amazing. I tried their Beyond Meat veggie burger (came with home fries) recently, not expecting too much, but it exceeded my expectations. Simply the best I've had anywhere!😋

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)!
