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.
A really cool brewery & space that was right up our alley. Some fantastic beers in a province full of similar tasting brews so that was really nice. Super cute space & the staff were really friendly. Certainly a spot I could kill more than a few hours in & be happy to come back! Some of the best beer I had in Montreal made & served by some good people.
Please go out of your way to have a beer (or more) here. Staff was great - very informative & the beer was top notch. We had tried a few at Oktoberfest at Schilling, so we were glad to be able to finally get to the actual location 🍻 cheers! We'll be back every time we're in Montreal!
