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.

McKibbin's is an institution here in Montreal. I have been coming here for 20 years & have so many fond memories of nights out here. The atmosphere is lively & they often have live music. Even more remarkable is that they are one of the few places in the city that seems to offer happy hour specials. That seems like a rarity in 2024. I generally find the quality of the food to be consistent. They have your standard pub fare & for the most part it is usually satisfying. If you are courageous you can always try their famous Reaper wing challenge but be warned those are some very spicy wings. McKibbin's is a great option if you are looking for a pub in downtown Montreal. You're bound to have a great time while you're there.

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

Not very good experience. Irish stew was about as good as canned Puritan Irish Stew except with flour. Ordered soup which never arrived. Bread was stale & crusty. Overall the food was pretty bad. It took forever to get drinks, I sat with an empty beer for over 30 mins waiting for another & signaled a few times I was waiting for my next beer. They were moderately busy, but honestly how long does it take to pour a beer?

Just happened to be walking by around lunch & thought we would step in. I always love a bar that knows how to pour a proper Guinness.
