McLean's has become a landmark bar and restaurant in the downtown core of Montreal with its authentic Irish Pub atmosphere. McLean's a wide array of food dishes and a wide selection of imported and domestic beers. McLean's pub-style decor provides the perfect backdrop to enjoy all the latest sporting events on one of the many big screen satellite TV's positioned all around the bar. Upstairs, guests can partake in a friendly game of pool or just sit back and enjoy the company of good friends.
Across reviews, McLean's Pub comes across as a lively downtown spot with a welcoming vibe where drinks, sports and casual pub fare come together in a relaxed setting. The staff are consistently friendly and attentive, helping to keep the energy upbeat even when busy. The beer selection is solid and varied, often described as cold and well poured, with crowd pleasers like fish and chips, poutine and other bar classics frequently mentioned. The venue features two levels, a pool table, plenty of screens for games, and a central location that makes it easy to drop in before or after events. Clean, well kept spaces and a convivial, social atmosphere add to the appeal, with guests noting a mix of energy and warmth that makes it feel welcoming to both regulars and newcomers. While a few reviews question the authenticity of the Irish pub vibe, the overall experience shines through in the lively crowd, good service and dependable food and drinks.

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.
Dernière soirée à Montréal au McLean's après le concert de Linkin Park au Centre Bell : on aurait pas pu mieux tomber ! Possibilité de choisir sa musique, vaste choix de bières, prix tout à fait corrects, bonne cuisine… Mention spéciale à Nes (j'espère que je n'écorche pas ton nom) qui a été au top avec nous toute la soirée. 👌
