A little different from the other locations - it still has the same warm & friendly atmosphere, but this branch is much more spacious, with a variety of indoor seating areas perfect for groups of different sizes & tastes.
The fish & chips was one of the best I've had, & the creamy Irish beer along with the triple-distilled Jameson whiskey were exceptional.
Our waitress, Holly, was incredibly friendly & professional.
Regular customer here. Always good service & live music. However, had not eaten anything but sweet potato fries for years. Finally, tried something different by having the fish&chips: small amount of fish coated in a very greasy & tasteless batter, & tartare sauce was almost tasteless. Amaretto sour, filled almost to the top with small ice cubes.
I was going to send the fish back but felt bad because my friend already had to send the nachos back since the salsa/sauce in the dish, tasted like a BBQ sauce or something. My other friend had the bison burger & really enjoyed that so gave a 3/5 for that
Quite disappointed.

Chicken wings are too expensive 6 for 18$, 🤔.
Nachoes are good. Fish & chips over fried.(cook)
McKibbin's West Island has become a recent favorite for a quick bite when I'm out West. Watch a game, enjoy the Fish & Chips or the daily specials, just hang out. If you're from the West, you might run into someone you know!
We're very sad to say that we went there for the fish-&-chips & found it very, very greasy & not very good
I had the chicken crisp burger which was good
The place needs a new refresh & definitely needs a clean up very disappointed.Is not a return visit
This cozy Irish pub features classic pub fare, with the Irish stew being a standout, other popular items including burgers, wings or fish & chips. My Tuesday devotion is jambalaya (not much of authentic Irish) & black velvet. This franchise boasts a wide selection of beers on tap, including imports or local brew. But the prices were a bit steep for a weekday lunch.
Saturday March 29th, 16:30.I haven't been to this location before, but I have been to the downtown one a number of times, based on my experience from downtown some friends & I stopped by yesterday afternoon. I'm going to be quick in this review compared to some I have done in the past. I'll just focus on my fish & chips. Not really my go-to meal, I generally only eat fish that I have cooked myself because most places overcook fish. Nevertheless I ordered it. First impressions were favourable, nice crispy exterior batter, nice colour. Flipping it over, it was nothing but oil on the bottom, it was dripping onto the plate & even into the tartare sauce. I tore into it, the biggest issue eas the ratio of batter to fish, it wasn't a particularly good sized piece of fish even if from the outside that's how it presented as a generous portion. The fish while not overcooked wasn't a thing of beauty, under seasoned & the fish was just very meh. My past forays into fish & chips the flakey white interior fish has a sweetish subtle fish flavour. This was kind of none of that. The tartare sauce was okay, though possibly a little thin, nothing spectacular. The chips were decent, possibly the best part of the meal, but they got cold kind of quickly & cold chips aren't nice to eat. The staff were fine, though somewhat difficult to get their attention, many of the things that should be offered upon serving were offered I had to get up myself to look for malt vinegar. The pub, us your standard run of the mill Irish pub interiors, but clean. There was a live band, not to my liking, found the singing really off key compounding the fact that it was loud even from a table in a back room. This suffice to day isn't my new third place. Came up a bit too mediocre for spending $80 between the wife & I.
