Went here recently & it was a lot of fun. The staff were friendly & there was a decent age range to the crowd which me & the live music was good. I will definitely be going here again soon
Pretty awesome spot! Recently started coming here a little more often. Great for sporting events, comedy shows, live music & more. Great patio in the back, definitely one of the nicer ones in the downtown area. A good amount of variety when it comes to food. I am definitely looking forward to saint paddy's here. Special shout-out to the manager Anna who's been there for a while & makes the place that much more welcoming!

Great atmosphere! I enjoyed my visit to this place. I had nachos & & a berry drink both were good.
The live music was amazing, made my experience even better.
Great place for a Friday night.
The waitress Bert nice.
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.
Hands down the best pun in town. A great selection of drinks, amazing service & staff, the food is top notch & beats out most restaurants, & definitely beats the fast food joints. They have live music on certain days, a club with a DJ on the top floor, a backyard & frontyard terrace, a television for sporting events, & a basement for a quieter atmosphere. Honestly, it's got it all.

Great experience. I arrived early & they took some time to clear up the table for me but the service was excellent. We were served by Hannah & she was the best. They didn't have a lot of whiskey selections but beer menu seems pretty good! We had a lot of fun & danced to the live music a little near the end of the night!
It's good that there are multiple ambiences in the bar. I was on the 3rd floor & the music was weirdly mixed & very loud. I was with friends, so it was ok, but music could be better (at least in the 3rd)

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.
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.
