Le McKibbins Irish Pub est largement reconnu comme une destination classique qui capture une atmosphère irlandaise authentique et accueillante au cœur de Montréal. Les visiteurs soulignent fréquemment la vaste sélection de bières de qualité, notamment la Guinness, ainsi qu'un menu composé de plats traditionnels copieux comme le fish and chips, les burgers et le ragoût irlandais. L'établissement sert de carrefour social prisé par les habitants, les étudiants et les touristes, offrant un cadre dynamique pour la musique live, la diffusion de matchs sportifs et les spectacles d'humour. Bien que l'environnement soit souvent décrit comme vivant et énergique, le service est régulièrement noté pour être amical et attentionné, contribuant à une expérience mémorable pour ceux qui cherchent à se détendre dans un cadre rustique et chaleureux.
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.
This bar has grown up-but hasn't lost its soul. I used to come here years ago, & now that it's moved to a bigger venue, I was curious to see if it still had that magic. It does.
No lineup outside, but inside it was packed. The live band was fantastic, playing high-energy covers that had the whole crowd singing along. The atmosphere was loud, joyful, & full of life-perfect for a night out with friends or just letting loose. Lots of young people, dancing, mingling, & yes, a bit of bumping & grinding. It's a party spot, no doubt.
Despite the crowd, service was quick & friendly. The staff kept things moving with a smile. Great place to grab a pint, belt out some tunes, & soak in the vibrant energy. Bigger space, same heart. I'll definitely be back.
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!
Super disappointing. I used to really enjoy coming to this pub, but tonight was a big disappointment. My burger & fries were flavourful, as usual. But they were served lucwarm, by staff who really couldn't care less. No checking in to see how I was enjoying it or if I needed anything.
Which brings me to the staff. The place was quiet, not surprising for a Sunday evening. But the staff seemed more interested in chatting & looking at their phones than tending to their few customers. It took the staff about 20 minutes to clear my empty pint glass & I basically needed to send up a flare to get another pint.
While this used to be my favourite traditional pub in Montreal, it has a lot of improving to do to make it back into my list.
My bartender poured me the best-looking Guiness pint I've seen this side of the pond… I think her name was Sam - I'll be back for more of the same, to be sure.
2* pour le service reçue. Le reste était bon. Un lundi en soirée peu occupée. J'essaie de faire signe pendant 10 min au barman car la serveuse ne vient pas (il sont 3 en services avec un bar remplie au tier). C'est comme si la serveuse n'était volontairement pas venu pour pas nous servir les pintes au prix du happy hour. On attrape finalement sa collègue qui finit par aller la chercher. On demande un geste pour savoir si la table de 7 personnes peut encore avoir ses pintes au prix du happy hour (4 a 8 pour l'horaire) car ça faisait 10 min qu'on l'attendait & qu'il était seulement 1 min passé. Elle a dit non. On ne reviendra pas.
