I like this place, good beer, good crowd. However, service recently is subpar for montreal. Staff tend to huddle in groups & are sloooow to pickup on waiting customers, tis a crying shame.
This is a short story on the tipping culture in Canada, & the extreme entitlement it creates.
Deep in the heart of golden barley fields, a farmer rises at dawn. His hands are rough from years of toil, but he takes pride in his work. He nurtures the crops, battles the elements, & harvests each grain with care. He loads the barley onto a truck, never once thinking to ask for a tip.
At the malting house, workers soak, germinate, & roast the barley, transforming it into the foundation of a great beer. The air is thick with the scent of caramelized grains. They shovel, they sweat, they perfect their craft-no tip jar in sight.
The malt travels to the brewery, where brewers measure it carefully, mixing it with water, hops, & yeast. Steam rises as they brew, tasting & adjusting, ensuring perfection. Fermentation begins, weeks pass, & they watch over the beer like devoted parents. Not one of them asks for extra cash.
Bottlers & keggers work tirelessly, sealing the liquid gold into glass & metal. Truck drivers haul the beer across cities & towns, navigating traffic & deadlines, all without demanding a gratuity.
Finally, the beer arrives at a bar.
A greasy, lazy bartender pulls a tap handle, filling a pint glass in seconds. With minimal effort, they place it on the counter, then look up with expectation, immediately bitching for a tip.
Meanwhile, the farmer, the maltster, the brewer, the packager, & the driver all carry on with their work-never once expecting a tip.
If you don't like your salary, take it up with your management & your government, little guy.
I don't owe you anything, if am feeling generous enough, I might tip, IF your service is exceptional.
Otherwise, stay quiet & do your job like the rest of us!

Nice place 2 floors & a back yard (terrace) not expensive at all beers from 6.50 $ nice ambiance perfect to go drink, talk or watch a game! Nice service & clean!
Traditional Irish pub atmosphere with lots of beers on tap. We shared the bison burger & fish tacos, both were delicious. Service was great, & fast! would recommend
I have complicated feelings about this bar. I've been here two times in two days, & former was horrible, but the latter was amazing LoL We were three in the first visir & only one of us order. Omg, it made them crazy. We asked for a water for the table, & they only brought a glass for my friend who ordered a beer. I mean, c'mon, such an non classy attitude. Anyways, the second one is good because I guess everyone ordered somethings to drink & eat. The atmosphere is good, prices are okay though.
Typical pub, fries are good but some places are better. Big beer selection & friendly bartenders. Informal Irish music on Sunday that was a delight - players just started showing up & jamming!
