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!
Un vrai bon spot au centre-ville pour passer une soirée entre amis ! L'ambiance est conviviale & détendue, avec un décor classique de pub irlandais très chaleureux. L'été, une petite terrasse permet de profiter du beau temps, & à l'intérieur on retrouve deux étages : le rez-de-chaussée pour boire & manger, & un étage avec des tables de billard pour prolonger la soirée.
Les girafes de bière sont offertes à très bon prix, la bière est bonne & je ne manque jamais l'occasion de m'y arrêter pour savourer un délicieux Black Velvet quand je suis dans le coin.
Le service est toujours au rendez-vous : rapide, courtois & sympathique. Côté nourriture, on reste dans une cuisine de bar : simple, savoureuse, avec des portions généreuses & des prix honnêtes. Ce n'est pas un restaurant gastronomique, mais c'est toujours bon & satisfaisant.
Une adresse que je recommande chaleureusement pour boire un verre, jouer au billard & profiter d'un bon moment entre amis au centre-ville, sans se ruiner.
My husband enjoyed the beer. He's always on the hunt for (non-lager or non-pilsner) beers he hasn't had. He is devoted to Untapp'd for logging each new beer. We ate. I looked at the menu to jog my memory (it has been several weeks), but it seems to have changed. It was good, though.
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
Alan & Maria
This is the Cheers of Montreal! Inviting atmosphere, excellent service & incredibly warm & friendly staff. The made my visit to Montreal quite memorable. Many thanks to the warm welcome to Mitch, McKenzie, Nez, Jasper & the rest of the crew!
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.

Love this place is legendary is fun & good service but a week ago i was there up stairs & got to be honest a bad service for the first time from a barmaid with black hair. Bad attitude, looked like she didnt want to serve us & i was celebrating a friend. I was disapointed but im still going to come back since the rest of the squad is nice to us.
