Review Summary

Pub McCarold is widely regarded as a staple in the Côte des Neiges neighborhood, consistently praised for its warm, lively atmosphere and impressive selection of beers, whiskies, and comfort food like poutine, burgers, and Irish stew. Many visitors highlight the friendly and attentive service as a core reason for their repeat visits, particularly noting the dedication of the long-standing staff. While the establishment is frequently described as a reliable spot for casual outings, sports viewing, or business meetings, some patrons have expressed concerns regarding recent menu changes, price increases, and occasional inconsistencies in service or food presentation. Despite these minor points of contention, the venue remains a beloved local gem that successfully balances the charm of a classic neighborhood pub with a welcoming, high-energy environment.

Une mention spéciale pour le barman pas jeune ( pour ne pas dire un peu plus âgé que les jeunes qu'il y a sur place ), une personne avec un grand coeur, un service impeccable & d'une gentillesse incroyable! J'ai oublié son prénom mais c'est grâce a son dévouement pour son job que j'y retourne a chaque fois!

We ended up waiting an hour & a half to be sat down before just giving up & leaving. We could clearly see several open spaces in the bar & enough space to squeeze us in but were flat out told there isn't any. Food looked nice, didn't get to try any though.

Service was horrible, they push people for tip & made a mistake in the bill which they didn't want to admit. Worst bar experience I have ever had as a Montreal local…

Was waiting for our taxi only had about 15 minutes so my friend & I were going to order a quick drink while we waited the bartender came over after about ten minutes of us sitting at the bar I said we were going to order a quick drink but service took too long (mind you I said it politely) so I asked for a glass of water & he refused said service didn't take long & told us we had to leave like kicked us out - we waited for our cab in the cold it was pretty rude I think he was Intoxicated too we will never return & we live in the area

My friends & myself were once part of the furniture at McCarold's. Our long evenings were then filled with long forgotten & unproven manly-man tales of conquests & fortunes. For the sake of a healthier liver & as family duties were calling upon, I had to abandon ship & ancre my safety boat in a distant suburb. I still go back every now & then, so to remember the good times & the better times. Set almost at the foot of Mount-Royal in the busy, eclectic & diversified district of Côtes-des-neiges, in Frenglish Montreal, the venue offers plenty of seats, with several rooms & 2 terrasses. The selection of beers & liquors is one of the best in Montréal. The kitchen offers a pretty good selection of meals based on pubs' culture. For example the ever Oh so popular Ballymore burger & Shepherd's pie. If one feels adventurous, the burger with peanut butter, the Edson, or the Japanese poutine, the Chuck Norris, are worth the try. If you're thinking « lean », you can opt for a fresh salad as a side. If you're thinking blood pressure annihilator & heart attack, side for a poutine along the burger & keep your meds at reach. Besides minding my nutrition, I just love to sit on the terasse on the side by the church when the lilacs are in bloom during spring or in the fall at peak folliage. If you come around, please do say Hi to Martine & Mathieu, the loveliest staff I've ever met around. They've hold clients in respect for as long as I can remember. I'm positive they can show you where the bar still shows signs of wear from my elbows, as years of indulging pints after pints required appropriate support & balance. Cheers to all beer lovers !
