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.
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!
A great atmosphere Irish pub. They have on the menu - unfortunately, only on the menu anymore - a challenge for their Guineiniss record book hot wings. Dear management: please, either make it worth it & give some reward for the challenge or remove the challenge from the menu.
Anyways, the Guinness record book hot wings were really good. Very hot spicy, but tasty spicy & good too. I'd highly recommend trying it. They have live music during the evening.
Terrible. We went into an Irish Bar & had to ask for a drink. Table service was extremely slow with ample staff so we went to the bar to ask for a drink which we were denied & told to ask our server. Lol what a joke. Got a shotty poured Guinness & decided it leave. Considering how well w e have been treated on our trip to Montreal I was extremely disappointed for a highly rated Irish pub . Nice terrace on the back side & the doorman was very friendly Guess they don't need our business. Sad. ☘?

Montréal is not a city known for its Irish pubs, which is a shame because there is a lot of Irish history running through these streets.
McKibbons is an exception to that reality. It has beautiful decor, friendly staff, & most importantly, DELICIOUS 👏& 👏affordable👏pub👏 food.
That's right folks, not only is this some of the best pub food you'll find in Montréal, the prices are beyond fair especially considering its downtown.
Check it out, get literally anything on the menu & I doubt you'll be disappointed.
Oh & a beautiful terrace in back during the warmer months.
Shoutout to Jasmine who served my partner & I on our last visit!
An Irish pub in a university town near McGill University. The atmosphere realy brings you to Irish… at the least the Irish I imagine.
The poutine is too salty, but great fires, so I will just order fries next time. They have limited selection of local beers, otherwise lots of differentdeinks to offer. I would like to see more local craft beers in the future!
It's also a bit pricey. One poutine plus one beer coated me $35 in total. This will make me think twice going again.
Loved the music, mostly songs we didn't hear for a long time from the 80s & 90s & the full vibe with live concert if you're into that. Great place where we can talk intimately with friends with some nice beer selections. It's easily a favorite Irish pub in Montreal.
Great Irish pub. Came on a random recommendation while looking for food, was expecting just fine, but was genuinely surprised by the quality. My partner had stew & I had a beef dip, & both were excellent. Nails the pub vibe without overdoing it, will be back.
The most authentic Irish pub I've ever visited in North America! I sat at the bar & the service was great. It was super quiet when I visited on a Sunday afternoon but quickly picked up the later it got, with a big ghost tour group coming in around 4:30 pm. I stayed for two drinks & wanted to stay for more. Would 100% visit again. OVERVIEW When: Sunday Afternoon, December 2024 Ate: Nothing Drank: x 1 Guinness & x 1 Guinness & cider $$$: $25 with tip Pros: Atmosphere, service, decor Cons: None

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.
