About

Pub Le Sainte-Élisabeth functions as a traditional destination for hearty pub fare and classic comfort food within a distinct historic stone environment. The menu centers on perennial favorites like crispy, beer-battered fish and chips paired with thick-cut fries and tangy tartar sauce. Guests occupy a secluded, multi-level terrace framed by ivy-covered walls or retreat into the cozy, dim interior characterized by wooden communal tables and stone masonry. This establishment prioritizes straightforward culinary preparation that complements an extensive selection of draft beers and seasonal ales. Patrons encounter a robust selection of savory dishes designed to accompany social gatherings and casual conversation. The environment maintains a grounded atmosphere where the focus remains on essential comfort staples served in a functional, unpretentious setting that emphasizes the architecture of the site.

Mon chum a ouvert la porte tout souriant en disant Bonjour, c'est ouvert? Le propriétaire lui même, super arrogant, a dit pourquoi tu penses que c'est débarré, pourquoi tu penses qu'il y a des employés, pourquoi tu penses qu'il y a du monde sur la terrasse en arrière... il n'arrêtait pas. J'ai dit alors on va aller sur la terrasse. Il a dit prends toi donc qqch à boire en passant. Bières en fût Boréal seulement, 33$ pour 2 pintes & sans service au tables. Les clients allaient eux même chercher & reporter les plateaux. Mon chum a été traumatisé par la salle de bain des hommes, il voulait jetter ses souliers parce qu'il y avait de la pisse à la grandeur du plancher. Toilette des femmes seulement 1 & sans papier.
La terrasse est belle mais nous n'y retournerons jamais.

Accueil lamentable, prix exorbitants, proprio arrogant & condescendant. Nous fait croire qu'il va « essayer de nous faire de la place » alors que son établissement & sa terrasse sont vides. Nous avons fini nos consommations & sommes allés ailleurs & nous ne retournerons jamais.

Extremely rude & unprofessional owner

Been coming here for years but had a terrible experience with the owner such that I won't ever come back. The waiters are nice. Im sorry they have to work with this bad owner.

Take your business elsewhere

Their high walled terrace is one of the best guarded secrets of montreal nightlife. The new administration is working hard to renovate & embellish the place & deserves every encouragement.

This was one of my favorite places in the past. But everything has an end. My last visit with a friend lasted 15 minutes. The prices are high & the service is not existent. Thou, the waiter told me there is an expectation of a small amount to be spent by customers per hour. Apparently, $26 (20% tip included) for two for first 15 minutes was not enough. The place was close to empty, & bartender rudeness killed all good that was left there. With a sad heart, I do NOT recommend this place anymore.

EDIT: After reading similar reviews & owner replies, the above rude waiter could have been an owner whose incompetence & not-acted promises about improving finally destroyed what was once a great place in Montreal.

Le propriétaire très impoli. Il nous offre soit de quitter sois de boire plus alors qu'on avait déjà consommé plus de 300$. Les drinks sont super chers.

EDIT:J'aimerais bien savoir comment il a déterminé (avec mon nom qu'il ne connait pas) que je n'ai pas payé. J'ai payé trop cher pour ce bar qui n'en vaut pas la peine. Je venais régulièrement, pour nous 6 ça sera la dernière fois.

Host & patio was great. Bartender was rude & I realize he doubled charged my orders when reviewing my receipts. Cross check your charges.

Le serveur était top, mais le proprio a coupé notre soirée net… un manque de délicatesse

300$ de drinks pour que le proprio nous dises, mots pour mots : soit tu achètes, soit tu pars! Moi & mes 5 amis devaient quitter immédiatement parce qu'on achetait pas d'alcool depuis 20 min. Il n'y avait aucun client qui avait besoin de notre table, aucun stress nécessaire, juste lui qui nous a forcer de quitter de façon impromptue & ingrate. Il a dit plus que ça…
