Pub McCarold is a fun, welcoming Irish pub in the Côte-des-Neiges area with a lively ambiance and solid food, including poutine, burgers, and fish and chips, plus a good beer selection that draws locals. The service is generally friendly, professional, and attentive, helping create a warm vibe, though a few reviews note occasional slower pacing or higher prices. Overall, Pub McCarold is seen as a local staple for casual meals, drinks, and socializing, with comfortable seating, multiple rooms and terraces, and a consistently positive sense of atmosphere.
A classic neighborhood Irish pub in the heart of Cote des Neiges with a strong student & local crowd vibe. The place stands out for its solid beer selection (20+ taps) & a wide range of whiskies, making it a reliable spot for casual drinks.
Food is standard but well-executed pub fare-burgers, poutine, fish & chips-with a few standout comfort dishes like mac & cheese. The atmosphere is warm & lively, especially during games or evenings, though it can get noisy & service may slow down at peak times.
A dependable, no-frills pub with good energy & solid food/drinks-best for relaxed nights with friends rather than a refined dining experience. Be aware that children below 18 are not accepted, even babies!!
Don't go here if you want to take Jameson whiskey, they don't have it. You will drink cheap drink instead & will be charged as for real one.

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
We thoroughly enjoyed our meal & drinks. Only reason I'm not giving 5 is because my fish n chips were a tad cold because i sent back when they forgot I had replaced fries for sweet potato fries.
I can't believe there's still such a good & affordable pub around. They have great prices on drinks & the food is really decent. It's not overly loud but still has good pub vibes. The servers are great too.
Une belle terrasse à l'extérieur qui permet de relaxer & regarder les passants! Une sélection de drinks, confort food. La sangria blanche & rouge étaient bonnes.
Mc Carold is a staple in the neighborhood. A lot of different choice for the drinks (if you like beer, you're served !) & a lot of conforting pub food. For a date or in group, pick your choice !

I went & sat on the patio. I got a hamburger & a White Velvet - one of the beer cocktails. The hamburger was good, but nothing special. I really liked the white velvet though. Delicious if you just like to drink a little beer. Nice finishing the pint with the sweetness of the cidre.
The drinks & food were great however the server dropped the fries & blamed it on us saying "I thought you were holding it". I've worked in the restaurant business for years & this is unacceptable, just say sorry & replace it. I would have given the fries free of charge as we also had to wait another 10 to 15 minutes.
