I want to thank McLean's for the wonderful experience!
I came on the 10th of January for my birthday with my family. My dad came in earlier in the day & asked if it would be possible to reserve a spot for our large group as it was my birthday.
The waitress (i forget her name now but I believe her name started with an S) was incredibly accommodating & made an exception for us despite them not usually doing that on game days.
Upon arriving she was incredibly welcoming, wished me a happy birthday & made the experience a great one.
The food & drinks were great, & the vibe was AMAZING! What an incredible place to spend an evening before a Habs game, & what a wonderful team of staff members that make all customers feel welcome.
Thank you for making my birthday the most memorable one yet!

McLean's is hands down one of the best bars in Montreal, & without question one of the top places in the entire city to watch sports. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere just feels right. The beer is always ice cold, consistently poured perfectly, & exactly what you want whether you're stopping by casually or settling in for a full game night.
The staff deserve special mention - they are genuinely some of the friendliest people you'll find anywhere. Always welcoming, attentive without being overbearing, & clearly happy to be there. That positive energy really sets the tone & makes McLean's such an easy place to relax & enjoy yourself.
The environment itself is fantastic: great music playing, a lively but comfortable crowd, & a space that always feels clean & well taken care of - including the bathrooms, which are spotless (something that definitely doesn't go unnoticed). The food is also excellent, with solid options that pair perfectly with a few beers & keep you fueled through a long game or night out.
& when the game is on, McLean's truly shines. The atmosphere becomes next level - energetic, engaged, & electric without being chaotic. You can tell everyone is there for the same reason: to enjoy the game, the company, & the vibe. Screens everywhere, great sightlines, & a crowd that actually reacts to what's happening makes it an unbeatable sports-watching experience.
All around, McLean's delivers every single time - cold beer, great food, amazing staff, & a welcoming, upbeat environment. If you're looking for a top-tier sports bar in Montreal, this place isn't just good - it's one of the very best in the city.

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.

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.

Not my favorite bar in Montreal. It's good to watch a game but that's it. Atmosphere is meh & the service is passable.
I wouldn't come back unless I don't have another option to watch a game.
They do have a decent selection of beers on tap tho

Great pub fare. Close to Bell Centre for before & after games with little to no wait. Highly recommend this spot! Kat served us, she was superb. We went back 2 days in a row because service & atmosphere was exceptional. THANK YOU KAT YOU ROCK!

Good place for a beer. Service was pretty good. Our waitress was good but the food was so bad we left without eating. We ordered a cheeseburger & wings. The food came out in about 5 minutes so obviously it was all precooked & sitting around waiting to be plated. All of the food was cold. The fries were lumped together in a sticky pile. Next time we're in town for a show or game we might stop in for a beer but definitely won't be ordering any food.

Came in hopes of catching the Canucks game & didn't realize that the Habs were playing at the same time. The host/waiter was really kind & offered to check if they could switch one of the tvs upstairs for me because they knew it was usually pretty quiet up there. All the TVs are connected so they weren't able to but I still really appreciate that they thought to go the extra mile.

Nice place, but I did find it a little pricey compared to other pubs, & the pool tables were 3$ a game

We were a group of 12 dudes cruising / predrinking before bachelor party shenanigans ended up at Mclean's . We watched game 6 Stanley cup finals upstairs.to start , location of Mclean's is unreal . In the heart of the city!! The service : Huge shout out to the bar staff upstairs - Steph & Tim were absolutely swamped but managed to juggle multiple large groups along with many smaller groups & keep the service top notch . They were proactive & helpful when it came to drink request & food request . Other staff member up there were helpful with clean up as well . Great job to all the staff for sure! Food quality : top notch . I had chicken wings & burger ... delicious ! Kudos to the chef !! Price point : extremely fair . Was expecting to pay a premium for the drinks I was ordering & to my surprise it was lower then anticipated ! Atmosphere : it was great . We played pool, watched the game , good music I highly recommend this place . Thank you mcleans pub . Steph thank you , service was exceptional!

We stopped here after a Canadienes game to grab a bite & watch the Superbowl. Good food, fun atmosphere but service was slow (probably because of the game)
