I've been coming here for 5 years & i love this place & the employees! However, they recently made a lot of changes to the menu (& prices...) & i must say not for the better.

Fair enough with new owners to switch things up & raise the prices, but when the new menu description & pictures are very misleading it gets disappointing. I ordered a mini fish & chips, expecting a small serving of fries, fish & sauce (as shown on the picture). The waitress warned me the picture was not representative & the fish was small bites, but I was surprised when there wasn't even any fries. Don't have a dish named mini fish & chips if there's not even any chips :( ! Picture of the actual item for reference.

& also, please bring back the cheesy Jack poutine. We really miss it!!

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!!

Decent pub in Universite de Montréal / Cote des Neiges neighborhood. A bit limited in the selection of beer but they do have all the classics. The food is good but rather pricey. A pint + a plate of fish & chips cost around $42 taxes & tips included.

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.

Très bon endroit pour manger de la nourriture typique de pub, faite maison. Délicieux fish & chips & onion rings. Les prix sont très abordables pour la qualité & la quantité. Service excellent.

Tasty fish & chips, it wasn’t greasy at all nice place

It seemed that the waitress wasn’t comfortable enough with English!

J'ai été à maintes reprises au Pub McCarold (& j'ai toujours apprécié).

J'aime l'ambiance & le look de ce pub.

Le service est correct & rapide (pour les boissons) & inconstant (pour la nourriture, dépendamment de l'achalandage).

La nourriture est très bonne (notamment le fish & chips & les (regrettées) côtés levées à la Guiness -qui ne font plus partie du menu-) & le choix de bières en fût est très bien (Guinness & Smithwicks, mmm).

Je recommande.
