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.

Good venue & location, average food...ate better elsewhere, table service terrible...only one person covering whole front of house...the poor lass was run off her feet, needed support from bar or a second server. After we were served, at least 2 other groups sat then left due to excessive wait to be served. No tip ❎
A spacious & affordable pub in a good location. They have a good variety of beer. We also ordered the red wine sangria & it was amazing. The fries were also good. The staff are friendly to tourists.
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.
A great Irish bar in town. It's been around for many years. They have their regulars, they have a nice terrace, a two-story bar, food is available, TVs if you want to watch sports. I'd recommend it!
