Pub McCarold est perçu comme une brasserie/pub irlandais convivial où l'on vient autant pour manger que pour boire, avec une ambiance chaleureuse et un service globalement attentif et souriant. La carte propose des plats typiques bien executés et des spécialités irlandaises, accompagnés d'une belle sélection de bières et de boissons; la nourriture est généralement saluée pour sa qualité et sa présentation. L'ambiance et la décoration créent une atmosphère agréable bien adaptée aux soirées entre amis, parfois bruyante mais typique d'un pub. La terrasse et l'emplacement près d'un quartier animé sont appréciés, même lorsque le pub est très fréquenté et qu'il faut parfois chercher une place. Certains avis notent des périodes de service plus lentes ou des expériences d'accueil variables, mais l'ensemble reste positif et l'établissement est recommandé pour sa nourriture et son ambiance, avec des prix qui peuvent être un peu élevés et une affluence qui peut influencer le rythme du service.
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 !
Super bonne ambiance de bar !! Les bières sont bonnes, ce pendant ils ne font pas de pichets… la nourriture est correct, nous avons essayé la poutine spicy, les frites sont bonnes.
Great neighbourhood bar. Dark wood all over, patrons get to know you if you're a regular. The fried pickles are great, & the beer price at happy hour is the same as if you where buying your beer at a grocery..
