Excellent place to relax, eat a lil sumpthin, & get a drink. The staff is personable & fun EVEN after their beloved Habs have a loss. Def gonna come back.
Kyle
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!

Steps away for our hotel (Montreal Marriott Chateau Champlain). Stumbled past & poked our head in. Sooooo glad we did! What a great place for food, drinks, sports, music. Sorry Peel Pub - Mcleans is now'The spot to go' in Montreal. A special thanks to (no particular order- Ricardo, Stephanie, Nes & Kyle. Thanks to the owners for having such wonderful staff. We will be back for sure!
Thank you

Stopped for a beer & mixed drink after a whole day tour with Hop-on Hop-off. Our pleasure to meet Greg & engaged to talk to us while we were seated in the bar area. Wish him the best of everything! Appreciate your help today!

Shoving a pile of sand & dust into your mouth would be more moist than the burger here, forcing you you wash it down with whatever drink you have so you don't choke to death, it paired well quite possibly the worst fries ever fried all while you can't hear what the person sitting across from you is saying due to the hoards of finance bros yelling over each other all fighting to be the most boring person alive along with the nonstop barrage of the worst music you've ever heard .
Fried mushrooms, pickles & beer were very good
Go to the other location up the street instead.

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.

This is the new MacLeans (just a year & a half in), & it's everything you'd hope for! A perfect blend of modern style with warm, traditional touches in the décor. The staff? Absolutely incredible-every single one of them is welcoming, kind, & genuinely attentive. The drinks are top-notch too: expertly crafted with no overload of sugary fillers. It's official-this is my new go-to local, & I couldn't be happier about it!

Came for the food, stayed for the vibes!
The bacon poutine? Next level amazing. We tried the butter chicken pizza too--sounds wild, tastes awesome.
Kudos to Angie the bartender--super friendly, made us feel like regulars, & had some top-tier drink & food recs.
Also... Kilkenny on tap. I'm obsessed. Pretty sure I could take down a whole keg solo (don't test me).
Awesome spot, killer service, & just a good time all around. Can't wait to come back!

Very well staffed. Fast service. Steph (server) was excellent. The drinks were far too expensive.

4 of us went for a couple drinks & apps before the hockey game. Our waitress Manon was hilarious, friendly & fun. She really made our first day in montreal a fun day!

How does the old adage go? If its too loud you are too old? Well I'm too old because this place is crazy noisy. Great drinks but didn't try any food.

Unexpected was the full contemporary country playlist but the service was great, drinks were good & the prices were right. Unfortunately it was late at night so the kitchen was closed. The menu looked very appetizing. Had to go next door to grab some food.

We were promptly seated & given menus. We waited what we thought was a decent amount of time for the server to take our order. When she finally did all went smoothly & we were brought our drinks. But then we waited & waited some more. No busboy, no server. About 40 minutes in the server came to us to ask us how our food was. We explained we hadn't received it yet & she apologized & went to find out what happened. Great. Turns out our food was given to the wrong table. We reordered & it still took 30 more minutes to get our food. Not a great first visit. I understand errors happen, but it still took her 40 minutes to come & even check on us. We also had to seek out our bill when we wanted to leave as the server was nowhere to be seen.

Fantastic music, staff, drinks & food!! We had such a lovely time, their deep fried pickles are especially delicious.
Paul
A nice, down-to-earth spot for a drink with friends. Plenty of TV's & considerate service!
Christian
We always make a trip here when we're in Montreal. They serve an old school pepperoni sub that's hard to get anywhere else & so good. Pizzas are delicious. The side salad with micro greens is much more impressive than you'd ever expect from a pub. They make fantastic Caesar's (I suspect some pickle brine added?) Service is friendly, sometimes confused or distracted, but it works with dive pub vibe. Wouldn't hesitate to pop in for a drink & snack. But wish they answered the phone or posted their kitchen hours online.

Basic pub, don't expect much from the food, the drinks while I was there was watered down, the staff was nice though & the ambiance was fun.
