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!!
Super pub pour manger comme pour boire. Le service est au top & l'ambiance aussi. Souvent bien rempli en soirée mais nous avons toujours réussi à trouver de la place !

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.
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 !
We spend the summers in Montreal & have been going to this pub once a week. The staff has always went out of their way to make you feel welcomed & of course the food is awesome.
Today, for the first time, a women waited on us & I had seen her there before. She is a manager or supervisor & she made us feel so unwelcomed & like it was a total inconvenience for her to wait on us.
As always, I still left a 20 percent tip because I know how hard the staff works & they deserve to be appreciated. We will still go there weekly because of the food & service & I will make sure that she does wait on our table.
Hard to believe one person could ruin your view of an establishment.
Le Pub McCarold est une super découverte ! Les bouchées sont délicieuses, la musique est à un volume parfait pour discuter, & l'ambiance est à la fois cozy & conviviale. En plus, il est super proche du campus de l'UdeM, ce qui en fait un endroit idéal pour se détendre après les cours. Je recommande vivement !
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.
