Went here with 4 friends earlier today! We had the pleasure of having Mike as our bartender. Genuinely gave us an unforgettable experience for our first time in Montreal! He killed it all night with all the other guests too & went above & beyond the whole time!
Definitely a place I would recommend to go to, super friendly staff, good food & amazing drinks 🙏🏼View more

Waited quite bit of time for the food to come out for take out. The food was cold on a 5 minute walk
Ordered: poutine-gravy tasted burnt not even hot enough to melt the cheese
Fish & chips- cold no flavor/fries were burnt
Calamari- soggy
Greek salad- tomatoes where mushy
Pretty disappointed overall
Serbers was niceView more

Not really pub & not really great dinning it was okay. It's too bad the streak sauce wasn't served on the side as the steak would have been better off. The reason I do not recommend is the service. Uninterested in your business at best. Spend your cash somewhere else.View more

Visiting from out of town, I had dinner here this past week on someone's recommendation. The meal was great, the bistro pub vibe was nice, but the service was seriously lacking. The cocktail (L'amère pompette) was refreshing & not too sweet, & the duck confit salad was delicious & filling - the duck leg was tender with some nice crispy bits, the salad was not overdressed (as is often the case), & the vinaigrette was really well done - the seasonings were very nicely balanced, not too acidic, not too salty. However, I was largely neglected by my server. I was sitting at one of the few tables available outside, & the tables inside were busy, but didn't seem overly busy. After I got my cocktail, I took my time to enjoy it & the lovely weather, finished it, & then waited, & waited. Finally decided to get the attention of another server to order my meal. When my original server brought out the salad, I asked if I could also have some bread with it - they said no problem, it will just be a few minutes in the oven (& so I was thinking wow, the bread will be nice). The server never came back with the bread, & never came back period. Since the the salad was generous, I decided to not bother asking for bread again, but again, after finishing my meal, I waited. I had to flag my server down so that I could pay the bill. I still gave a decent tip, since I enjoyed the food, but the service was disappointing, especially since it seems that the service is usually good based on the other reviews.View more

NYKS is a cool-yet-unassuming bistro/pub that surpasses expectations with it's great food, drinks, & service.
We visited NYKS for lunch on a Thursday afternoon in July. There's a few options in the area of Ste-Catherine & Bleury Streets, but we found one of the best.
Upon arrival around noon, the place was coming alive. The staff were friendly & welcoming. We were quickly seated at a high-top table for two on the sidewalk out front, which was rather nice. NYKS had its streetside garage-style windows rolled up, with nice tables set up at the interior's edge that gave patrons inside a cool summer vibe & made passers-by (like us) want to drop in for a visit.
Our server was excellent. Friendly, charming, efficient, helpful. What more can you ask? It was a hot summer day & he quickly took our drink order & ensured that we had refreshment right away.
Before I discuss the unexpectedly excellent food, I'll mention that our server claimed NYKS had the best pour of Guinness in Montreal. I've been to all the best Irish (& English) pubs in the city, & Guinness is'my' beer, so his words raised an eyebrow. I happily put his claim to the test. The best in the city? Them's fightin' words, on a stage of unstable dynamite. But having recently enjoyed Montreal pub crawl experiences (plural), along with my fair share of pints'o the black stuff, I'll say this: I split the G & thoroughly enjoyed my glass. Followed by another.
The food was outstanding & of much higher quality than we expected for an afternoon lunch at an unpretentious bistro. For that matter, the food was as good (or better) than that which had been served to us at some of top-rated places we'd recently visited. A pleasant surprise!
For an appetizer, we had a fabulous'warm seasonal mushroom brushetta.' For lunch, it was an excellent & surprisingly satisfying Niçoise salad, with a generous portion of pan-seared tuna steak, mixed green salad, green beans, tomatoes, baby potatoes, a soft-boiled egg, kalamata olives, red onions, & fresh herb dressing. Also, a very tasty Ratatouille, with added lamb sausage, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, & puff pastry with basil pesto.
All in all, a 5-star lunch.
I've frequently walked past NYKS in the evening & it appeared to be a popular bar for the 5-to-7 & nighttime crowds. Based on other reviews, it seems that's true. But it's also true that NYKS is more than just a bar. It's a great little place for refreshing drinks & an exceptionally nice meal.View more

Boisterous gastro-pub. I sat at the bar & was well looked after by the bar-tender who mixed drinks, pulled drafts & filled water glasses so deftly, he seemed to have eight arms. The Confit Duck Salad was so tasty, I might go back again tonight!View more

My new favorite place!
What do we want in a restaurant? Great ambiance, attentive service, delicious meals, carefully crafted cocktails & a reasonable price. NYKS checks all boxes.
The steak was delicious & I did a double take when I saw how affordable it was.
My wife loved the Fish & Chios with just the right crispiness in the batter.
Reservations are a good idea because it does fill out fast!View more
