Great stop for a pint & excellent food. Staff were friendly. Gentleman behind the bar has great taste in music, the female bartender was kind & considerate. Would recommend for anyone interested in Canadian vibes dipped in Irish sentiment!

Met a good friend here for a good pub meal. Had the best seats in the house! Nice cold beer, great food, however they screwed up our plates. I ordered fries & he ordered salad. I said it's OK & the waitress responded that she'd have to charge me an extra as it's fries that comes with the meal & not salad. She wanted to charge me for their screw up! The plates went back to the kitchen & they fixed the order. Delicious burger & fries!
Steph served us with a big smile, great food & ambiance as always since this is my go to bar. Everything was good until the cheque came out. I was charged 37 dollars for a small regular poutine & a pint of Budweiser. I initially asked to see why i was charged so much & she apologized saying she misunderstood for a bigger pint. I was cool with that & paid & didn't give her a hard time about it. When I exited the building my friends told me they paid an outrageous price too, then we calculated our bills & realized our server Steph decided to give her a generous 23% tip. I'm a big tipper usually but come on 23%? For a loyal repeat customer too? This is a first for me
Came to watch the Grand Prix. Stav was incredible as a server. Friendly, knowledgeable, & hustling during a busy time. Emma was right behind her too, working through the business.
Shenuiqa (?) was also serving though at the end of the race, & I'm really disappointed in how poorly she came across as a server. She made rude comments to my friend, had no kindness to show, & showed no regret for separating our table while we stepped away for a few minutes. If we ever came again & sat down at her table, we would walk out. I wish I could give 5 stars, but that experience with one server was unforgettable.
Another Irish pub visit on our Montreal excursion.. great atmosphere cold beer & quick service at the bar . That's the trick sit at the bar get quick service. Food was mediocre at best but your in a Irish pub. Beer made it better . They serve some massive beer towels a seen by the picture here. Good place check it out ☘?🤙
In town visiting for work. I was there for game one for the NHL finals, will probably be back for game 1 of the NBA finals tomorrow night. Really really awesome spot.

Service hyper long. Serveuse complètement dépassé & parle français a moitié. On a commandé des entrées & après 45 min on attendait toujours. La table derrière nous a annulée ca commande & de même pour nous. Décevant.
