Mellon Brasserie comes across as a welcoming, casual microbrewery with a strong on-site beer program and rotating taps that beer lovers appreciate. The atmosphere is described as cozy and lively, with comfortable indoor space and a pleasant terrace, and the staff are consistently friendly and knowledgeable. Beers are praised for variety and quality, including local craft options, Czech style lagers, sours, IPAs and seasonal brews, with several mentions of excellent beer and good value. Food is generally light to snack level, with some reviews noting nearby pizza options and calling for a larger food menu. Occasional notes mention slower service at busy times or beers served in wine-like glasses, but overall the vibe is social and relaxed, great for groups and casual outings, and many say they will return when in Montreal. Taken together, Mellon Brasserie is seen as a local gem and a must try for beer lovers, a place to unwind with friends and sample a strong beer selection.
Order beer at the bar OK & carry it to the table yourself OK, paying 15% for self service OK but … charging almost 11$ for a pint where one third is foam. Rip off for me. Not the first time by the way.

Excellente microbrasserie avec une ambiance fantastique. Les bières sont très bonnes & les serveurs très sympathiques. La seule chose qui pourrait être pénible est la file d'attente pour prendre sa bière. Car oui c'est un service au bar.
Ils ont aussi une belle terrasse & on peut y prendre quelques petites choses à grignoter. Il y a aussi possibilité d'acheter des pointes de pizza.
Petit bar pub de quartier caché. Bijou près du marché Jean-Talon. Terrasse vraiment agréable, calme malgré la circulation sur Jean-Talon. Choix de bières variées & intéressantes. Pas de souper complet, mais les bouchées sont divines. Jerky de saumon ou légumes marinés je les conseille fortement!
Un beau vrai petit bar de quartier, a genuine local watering hole! On vient ici pour l'excellence de la bière maison faite sur place (on voit les cuves!) & le savoir du personnel sympathique. Dépendant de l'heure de la journée, ça peut être plein à craquer & bruyant ou encore assez calme pour lire un livre assis au bar. Fortement recommandé, venez supporter l'économie locale!
Belle brasserie avec un bon choix de bière à prix intéressant. L'intérieur est bien aménagé pour pouvoir être en groupe de 8 à 10 confortable. L'ambiance & le décor sont au rendez-vous. La terrasse l'été est vraiment superbe.
J'aime de cette brasserie qu'on paye au bar pour ramener son verre à la table. Ça fait en sorte qu'on n'a pas besoin d'attendre un.e serveur.euse pour payer & partir, surtout quand on vient uniquement pour une bière ou deux après le travail.
Belle micro brasserie de quartier dans Villeray. Se spécialisent dans les lagers/pilsners mais ils ont toujours une IPA en fut. Belle terrasse l'été. Langues tables A l'intérieur parfait pour les groupes. Service au bar.

Super endroit avec des bières de soif bien faites ! Le service se fait directement au bar, & on peut commander des pichets, ce qui est rare avec de bonnes bières 🍻. La terrasse est vraiment chouette 🌞
Bad beer. The girl doesn't know how to pour a beer. I got 1/3 of my glass full of foam. The beer is disappointing. I ordered a "I'm dying of thirst" but it had no flavour. No houblon. Very disappointed. The service was no n-existent. We had to move to another bar to continue our friday afternoon.
Really nice microbrewery! Lots of outside space in the summer. Otherwise, it is a bit cramped inside. Tables are large & can sit big groups. Perfect for board games! :D Beer is amazing & reasonably priced. Pitchers are an option which is always nice. There is no table service but the staff is super chill & friendly. Food on site is almost non existent. There is a pop-up from Pizza Toni adjacent to the bar. Pizza is really good NY style & freshly made. Maybe a bit on the pricier side for the dish, but quality is excellent 👌 Overall, a really nice spot to chill with a summer beer. They also pour Czech style, & they do it well! Just for that, Mellön merits a award. Exceptional micro. Vastly recommended.

Stopped in on a recommendation because I'm a Tolkien fan. But oh, the beer. Fabulous lagers. & most important, they know how to pour. Jasti is a certified Lukr Tapster & he's trained the staff well. Fred & Florence can give you the perfect Hladinka, Snyt or-if you're looking for a lighter drink-a Mlíko. & you know it's a good establishment when the employees are dancing & high fiving behind the bar! I highly recommend Mellön!
Immense coup de coeur pour cette micro de quartier! L'ambiance me rappelle les beer garden allemand avec son service inspiré des micro Tchèques. L'équipe derrière le bar nous fait sentir à la maison & la bière est juste insane!
Bright & friendly brewpub a few blocks from Jean Talon métro & market. Picnic tables & a few stools at the bar. They have a cute terrace in the summer. 8 taps, including two Lukrs. Good variety of beers, with emphasis on lagers. Service was excellent, the staff knows their beers. Didn't try anything to eat, they only have basic snacks. Prices are typical for high end brewpub beers, but they serve in proper Czech mugs. Definitely worth stopping by if you're going to the market, & walkable to the other brewpubs & beer bars in the area.
Our new favourite discovery. Excellent beer - highly recommend their bottled sour beer. Grab yourself an order of the pickles if you enjoy a good crunchy dill. Service & atmosphere were immaculate, the one girl who was working the bar was incredible knowledgeable about the beer profiles & helped me select a good sour beer. 10/10 will be back.
