Stopped in for a pint of Guinness & a bite to eat. Place was a little slow, must have been the weather as it was raining. Bartender was friendly. The curry shrimp was flavourful but no spice which I was surprised as most Irish pubs have hot curry.

Local stand-up comedians take it to the next level telling jokes & roasting the audience. Definitely went for the beer! & the laughs! Good selection of pub food & drinks, yummy beer 🍻 great burgers 🍔 desserts, the churros with chocolate dip are good.

Bel endroit chaleureux pour passer une soirée.
Le service est relativement rapide, mais les serveurs sont un peu froids dans leurs interactions. Peut-être que c'était juste une mauvaise journée pour eux... l'anglais semble la langue employée en premier lors des interactions. Je sais que c'est un Pub Irlandais & que les étudiants de McGill adorent, mais bon. On reste au Québec
Toujours un plaisir d'aller au Mckibbins. Si vous avez envie d'un bon pub irlandais, c'est l'endroit ! Une belle décoration, un bon service, une bonne guinness & des plats authentiques comme le ragoût irlandais ou encore le banger & Mash.
Ma 2 expérience à ce PUB. Une fois en été sur la terrasse & cette fois-ci à l'intérieur par une journée extrêmement glaciale. Le décor est magnifique. Excellent service. Nourriture traditionnelle excellente & bonne portion. Guinesss Stout pour ma part qui est wow. Le seul bémol c'est qu'il faisait très très froid à l'intérieur & être obligée de garder mon manteau pour manger. La seule place où tu sens la chaleur du chauffage c'est dès que tu montes les marches pour aller aux toilettes des femmes en haut. Toilettes propre en passant. Je ne sais pas pourquoi c'est si froid. Les portes d'entrée ne sont pas isolantes donc ça n'aide pas. Hormis ce bémol, endroit typique de pub irlandais que je recommande.
Very cozy Irish pub, great variery of drinks & food & good prices. Really good spot to watch sports too, especially Canadiens matches. The nachos are extremely good, the french fries were not the best & the chicken tenders average.
