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.

First time visiting Montreal & stopped in for a pint. The place is so cozy & had live music when I was there. If this was down the street from my house I'd be there all the time.

We decided to check out the Monday night comedy show at McKibbin's on our trip to Montreal & had the best time! Two straight hours of laughs in a great atmosphere for 8$ a person. The host (Johanna) did amazing crowd work & the bartender was on it all night. Would love to come back on a future trip. Merci bcp pour une très belle soirée pleine de rires!

Rien à redire sur le pub en lui-même. L'ambiance est vraiment sympa, & c'est vraiment agréable de pouvoir profiter de la terrasse en arrière. Ce qui est beaucoup moins agréable, c'est que la langue première est l'anglais. Poser une question en français & se faire répondre en anglais ne devrait pas arriver (problème qui n'est pas propre à ce bar mais à de nombreux établissements du centre-ville)

Darn good Shepard's pie! Great Irish bar down in the Montreal center. The atmosphere inside makes you feel right welcome & at home. Fish & Chips are also pretty good. Indoor seating, front street seating, & back terrace seating avaliable.

Perfect place for casual food & drinks. The steak sandwich is so good that I have a hard time choosing something different each time I go back. So good!

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!😋

Avis mitigés par rapport à cet établissement. Le service en après-midi est excellent, cependant en soirée, il faut (aux deux reprises que nous y sommes allés) se rendre à l'intérieur pour demander à ce qu'un serveur vienne nous voir pour prendre notre commande. Sinon, nous attendions des 20-30 minutes sans aucun service (notre attente d'hier soir). Les bières sont des basics, donc c'est agréablement si vous voulez boire des bières réconfortantes.

McKibbin's Irish Pub est une destination de choix à Montréal pour une expérience authentique de pub irlandais. La nourriture est bonne, avec des plats classiques de pub bien exécutés & une bonne sélection de boissons. Le service est généralement convivial & efficace. L'ambiance est chaleureuse & animée, parfaite pour une soirée entre amis. Le rapport qualité-prix est correct. Un bon endroit pour se détendre & profiter d'une atmosphère conviviale.

Great atmosphere, Rustik, & relaxing place to have a nice cold drink. The staff was super friendly, & the service was quick. The curry fries were also very good. I definitely want to try more off the menu! I would absolutely recommend this as a night out!
