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.

drinks were good, service was sub par so we tipped 10%, & the waitress told us "just so you know, you're supposed to tip 15%." don't know why that was something necessary to say.

Historic old place situated a block away from Guy-Concordia metro station. The rustic look adds to the charm of this place.

Sometimes the music is a bit too loud but the live bands never disappoint.

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.

La nourriture était bonne, la bière aussi !
Par contre le service était limité au minimum nécessaire pour avoir le tip. Dans l'ensemble : bien, mais pas top.

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.

The service is very inconsistent & dramatically depends on who is serving your table. Food is okay, nothing worth recommending. The fish & chips is 80% batter.

Drinks are great on the other hand. The only reason I go to McKibbin’s is the drinks & the occasional live music. But don’t expect much of a service.

Very nice warm & cozy place. It gives the feeling of a real Irish Pub. Big selection of beers for all the testes. The service is alittle bit slow but other than that we had a good time.

Très bon service. Rapide. J'y ai mangé un pâté chinois (avec pommes de terre Yukon Gold): c'est probablement le meilleur pâté chinois que j'ai mangé de ma vie! J'y retournerai sûrement pour y déguster l'une des nombreuses & savoureuses bières irlandaises qu'ils offrent. Si vous aimez les pubs, vous ne serez certainement pas déçu avec celui-ci.
