Review Summary

Nyks Bistro Pub comes across as a lively, cozy spot in the heart of Montreal that delivers solid pub fare, great drinks, and a vibe that both locals and visitors seem to love. Dishes that show up repeatedly include duck confit poutine, mussels with fries, a range of burgers and hearty salads, and seafood options that many reviewers praised for freshness and flavor, all at generous portions and reasonable prices. The beer list is a highlight with strong local taps and popular imports, and cocktails and wine are also well received. Service is frequently described as friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, though a few reviews note slower service during busy times and some noise from the tight space. The atmosphere combines a can do pub energy with a touch of bistro charm, making it suitable for casual dinners, drinks with friends, or a late night out, with reservations recommended on busy nights. Nyks Bistro Pub is regarded as a reliable go to for a memorable Montreal experience, offering tasty food, good value, and a vibrant downtown vibe.

Si ce n'est du fait que c'était très bruyant, tout était parfait.

Nous nous sommes présenté une dizaine de personnes du groupe Facebook Activités Montréal & Environs, après l'émission Belle & Bum, un mardi autour 22h30. Mon ami va voir deux clientes super sympa pour leur demander s'il serait d'accord de prendre la table à coté pour que notre groupe puisse prendre place. Avant même que mon ami ait terminé de demander, les filles nous partageais déjà leur espace. &, la serveuse May nous a subitement interrompu pour refuser de nous accueillir. Son approche fut si froide & impersonnelle que nous avons choisi d'aller ailleurs. Il faut comprendre qu'il s'agit d'un mardi à autour de 22h30, moment peu occupé. Nous aurions pu être 10-20 à chaque fois & nous n'irons plus.

Une soirée mémorable!
J'ai passé une excellente soirée dans ce resto. Dès l'arrivée, on sent une vraie attention aux détails & un désir sincère de faire vivre une belle expérience aux clients.
Benoit, le propriétaire, est vraiment sur la coche : présent, chaleureux, toujours à s'assurer que tout est parfait. On sent qu'il fait ça avec passion.
Max, le barman, offre un service impeccable, professionnel & super sympathique. On se sent tout de suite à l'aise.
& le saganaki… wow.
Le fromage kefalo flambé au brandy est autant un spectacle qu'un pur plaisir en bouche. Un must.
Bref, une équipe solide, une ambiance accueillante & une cuisine qui donne envie de revenir.
Je recommande sans hésiter 👌

It's been nearly 10 years since my first visit to Nyk's Bistro. This place is an institution, it is a must if you ever visit Montreal or are a local looking for a lowkey experience that feels like fine dining. They have managed to create an atmosphere that feels high end, but retains reasonable prices alongside immaculate quality. The atmosphere is superb, striking a balance between a classic Irish pub & a fine dining establishment! I cannot recommend this place enough. I am very pleased that Nyk's is not only still in business, but thriving!!!

Solid pub in the center of Montreal. Good beers in tap (a few local options too).

We came to Montreal for a long weekend visit. Spotted Nyks & went in for a drink & ended up staying for 2 1/2 hours - seems the locals appreciate this place as well. What a lively & fun place! Jordan behind the bar is very friendly, welcoming, & a great bartender. We ended up returning the next evening for more drinks & dinner. The poutine avec confit de canard was incredible. We will certainly visit any time we are in Montreal.
