About

N sur Mackay functions as a lively hub for those seeking a straightforward pub experience centered on communal drinking and hearty comfort fare. The establishment prioritizes an unpretentious atmosphere where patrons gather for classic bar staples like crispy wings, loaded nachos, and artisanal burgers paired with a robust selection of draft beers. Exposed brick textures and dim lighting define the interior, creating an environment focused on casual social interaction rather than formal dining rituals. High-definition screens frequently display live sports matches to maintain a dynamic energy throughout the space. The menu emphasizes shareable plates designed for groups, while the drink list highlights local microbrews and standard spirit mixers. This venue serves as a functional neighborhood anchor for those prioritizing convenience and a consistent, no-frills social environment in a central urban setting.

Never seen such discompassionate human beings. we came out of the club out of the other side of the street & asked to wait in the hallway after our uber cancelled & it was freezing cold outside. there was plenty of people already in the bar & the woman said we couldn't even wait in the hallway. what a crazy disregard for human life. we could have got hypothermia by the rigid cold. made me sick another human being could treat someone like that

This is one of my favourite places to go when I want to wind down from my work & also see a comedy show! It's really close, near the Guy-Concordia station in a cozy spot on Rue Mackay. All of the bartenders are great & they all know you by name, which makes it really personal They also have a really great comedy night on Tuesdays that features a variety of local Montreal comedians & occasional famous person.

What I love is that they take risks with experimenting with different types of cocktails each week, often offering them as specials. They have this new cocktail called'noire & epice' which is a type of pumpkin spice espresso martini that I HIGHLY recommend.

I met up with a friend at NsurMackay for a couple of beers, & it was my first time visiting, so I had no expectations going in. We arrived close to suppertime, & the place was quiet, which made for a calm & relaxed atmosphere. The space itself is quite inviting - the decor is a tasteful mix of modern & classic touches, with warm lighting & comfortable seating that makes it easy to settle in & enjoy a conversation.

The bartender was friendly, welcoming, & attentive without being intrusive, which added to the relaxed vibe. The beers were cold & refreshing, exactly what I was hoping for after a long day. It's the kind of place that feels low-pressure, where you can unwind, catch up with friends, & enjoy a few drinks without feeling rushed.

Overall, NsurMackay made a very good first impression. The combination of the inviting decor, attentive service, & quality drinks makes it a spot I'd happily return to. It's ideal for casual meetups or just a quiet evening out to enjoy a couple of cold beers & good company.
