McKibbins Irish Pub

Wow, lost for words. Incredible. When people talk about Irish pubs they rarely mention Temple Bar & McKibbins of Bishop in the same breath - they should. If not for the pints, the blonde bartenders service. In my eyes, you can't go wrong with a Guinness & Bangers & Mash from McKibbins - & I'm Irish. If there's one spot you ought to be it's McKibbins

Great selection of taps & AWESOME genuinely friendly staff behind the bar.

The only downer on this past Friday night was the band - patrons where moving away in droves & groups walking in made a
u-turn right out.

My understanding is that the staff did speak to the them to adjust their levels i.e. you're at a pub not metalfest & that they got blown off.

Also they were playing funk & disco classics at 45 speed when it should've been 33 1/3.

Who booked them? I mean a pub equals classic rock & Great Big Sea or even Dropkick Murphys. We moved downstairs which was nice & quiet with a pretty big tv (Jays opener).

I've been here a few times & it's iconic but cam on!

On a bright note: The pint of Guinness was pretty good.

Good aesthetic & service. Shame the food & drink were underwhelming. The Guinness was badly poured & so was bitter & thin, & the poutine was smaller than explained by the waitress & swimming in a gravy soup.
(Note: many of the whiskies & scotch on the menu were unavailable. :/ why not remove them then?)

My review is very specifically showing up when it was super busy & crowded. While it chilled out before we left it was a little chaotic.

The food wasn't bad the, the Guinness burger was really good & the leek & chicken pie was delicious, but neither was out of this world (though the first bite of the burger was close.

With all the busy the server was on top of it, while the crowd felt a little over whelming when the kitchen missed our order it was fixed quickly & dealt with by the server.

I would try the place again when calmer in a heartbeat.

I chatted with two young strangers at the bar here for so long that my girlfriend (who is very beautiful) got very mad at me. The young strangers & I talked about life, love, the city, the future, the past, even our hopes & dreams. They were ex lovers who maintained a very strong bond of friendship. I do not remember their names, but I wish them both beautiful & fulfilling lives. The Guinness was excellent!!

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!
