It was okay but the bartender was a bit rude, I guess it might be his personality

What a great atmosphere for a playoff game. I got there early & had a lovely meal - good pub food. I picked the plate clean. On days like that, you may not find a seat if you don't go early. Guiness was delicious, as were the Jamesons. Service was excellent from the bartender & he was busy. 10/10 would go for a beer or a game again if I'm in town.

We stopped into McLean's Pub because my fiancé loves a good Irish pub, & even though it was a random, quiet afternoon, it ended up being such a memorable stop.

We ended up chatting with our bartender, Angie, & she was truly the best. We had just gotten engaged the day before, & she went out of her way to celebrate with us, she even wrote us a handwritten list of her favorite local recommendations. We had a few amazing dinners thanks to her list!

She made us feel so welcomed & genuinely excited, & it ended up being one of the first places we got to celebrate our engagement. Such a special experience thanks to her.

I hate to say it but the food was awful. Bacon poutine wasn't good & I swear they microwaved the pizza & poutine. Food was at our table in about 3-4 mins. Pizza takes longer than that. It was so chewy & rubbery.
The atmosphere was good. The bartenders were great. I liked the large beers. I just would not eat there again.
Sorry

This one is a tricky review. I went there looking for a sports bar with the Habs & the Jays ALCS game 7 on the TVs. I was welcomed & seated at a great table with views of both games. Service was excellent & very accommodating (downstairs). I decided to move upstairs where they had the Jays game on full time with audio. There was NO service upstairs. It was self serve bar only with one bartender who was head down & scrolling when I went to get a beer. Most people (a packed house) had empty drinks, empty plates, etc. The wings were great, & atmosphere was very fun. But there was no service upstairs. The staff member who was wearing a black t-shirt & clearing tables was the hardest working guy there & deserves tips.

McLean's holds a special place in my heart!

I was there Sunday night receiving perfect pours of Guinness from Ricardo. A bartender serves drinks. A good bartender serves people! He was the perfect host & kept community front & centre. Great bar with great staff & great patrons alike! Will be back!

I am a little late with the following comments & well-wishes, nonetheless, I am writing in order to express my sincere gratitude to Dave & Nes, both bartenders & all -around good guys at McLean's Pub located at 1210 Peel Street in Montreal. I was in a bind. Thirteen friends of mine were in town ready to watch the final games of the EPL season-May 25, 2025-with a real focus on the Chelsea v. Nottingham game. All of the places suitable to watch the game could not accommodate such a crowd when I came to them, the day before (not my fault), seeking to make a reservation for 14. I went to McLean's & made a request for a reservation, expecting yet another rejection. Much to my surprise, Dave & Nes, were friendly & professional in the way that they handled my time-sensitive request. They understood the importance of football as central to family & friends coming together. They took care of the logistics & were able to hook it up & get us a table.

In short, we had a great time. Dave was great at quickly quenching the group's thirst & ensuring more than adequate sustenance. Couldn't have asked for better guys to help out. Food, drink & service-all excellent. Dave & Nes are the primary reason I continue to visit the location when friends are in town. I highly recommend McLean's with a special emphasis on the service Dave & Nes provided for a'proper' viewing of football games-EPL or otherwise. Cheers to them for their courtesies.
