Good Guinness, decent chicken sandwich but don't order the fish & chips. For a'English Pub' the fish was so over battered that it was raw where it was touching the fish. The waitress had stopped by the table to ask how we were enjoying our food but never looked at me, or waited for me to respond & I had to get her attention after. When explaining my disappointment, her response was'I don't eat the fish & chips because it has too much batter'. Not the conversion I expected to have & not the experience I've had at any other pub I've been to. I returned more than half the dish & explained that I was not interested in a replacement, that being said I would have hoped for a discount on that item. Had they even given me $5 off I would have given a better rating.
If you want to watch a game & drink a beer, stop by here & then go eat somewhere else.
Ready Set Meh.
Good place to grab beer but don't expect much if you're hungry. Fish & chips had very thick almoat pastry like breading. Fries were ok. Hubby had hot dog poutine. Gravy was good. Very little hot dog. Friendly service.

Server was so attentive. Harp beer on tap & nice & cold. Rustic decor indicates a well used & well loved facility. Nice place to have a quick pint. Centrally located to downtown.
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.
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.

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.

Cool pub. Has kind of an Irish pub feel. Server was great.
Pretty decent selection of beers which seems to be unusual in Montréal for some reason. For example, multiple IPAs whereas a lot of places seem to have just a couple. & often, the servers don't seem to know much about the beers. In Mcleans' case, the server was knowledgeable.
Really liked the fish & chips. Mainly the fish part. Chips were ok.
Doesn't look like much from the street but decent inside.
Prices were competitive with what I've seen elsewhere.
Price for three IPAs, fish & chips & a small pizza was about $70 US.
You gotta go & look into the men's restroom downstairs. The urinals are made from old beer kegs. Something to see. Surprisingly functional. Ladies, the men's room is down the hall past the women's restroom. Be careful. The door was wide open & you could get quite a view.
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!
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 ☘?🤙
