?We came here hoping to have a good time & enjoyed our drinks at first, but the experience was completely ruined at checkout. We asked to split the bill between two people, & they charged the full amount to BOTH of our cards. Be careful if you've had a few drinks-they took advantage of the situation & charged us twice. Extremely disappointing service-keep a close eye on your payments.
I was sitting at the bar, I was watching the bartender serving drinks, refilling the water bottles for the table, he never washed them or empty them completely, my wife ordered a drink it was awful, bartender never bothered to ask her if she was satisfied, he ignored us for that 45 minutes we were there
Never again

Eddy is the best server I've ever had. He was patient & called out drinks in a way that I think all places should. He made everything easy even when it was super busy. I respect him & will be back again because of him!
Great food for just a pub! The type of place I enjoy. If you dontlike eating at fancy up scale restaurants this is the place for you. Very historic building with plenty of young locals coming to eat & drink. In the heart of old Montreal! Stopped for a beer & nachos & enjoyed it!
Stopped by the pub on Friday night, we saw some signs outside for dinner specials & the posted menu, went inside ordered some drinks, they gave us a menu & we noticed the menu was limited to wings & appetizers, we asked about it & the waiter was a bit rude answering, looks like they don't offer the full dinner menu after 7. We ordered our drinks they got messed up, they forgot drinks. We ordered some food, it came out faster than any of the drinks, was hot & good.
all in all not going back, now I know it wasn't busy for a reason. Though it does have a nice water front view from the 2nd floor with the windows open.
Stumbled upon this pub playing Irish music with a blowup Guinness on St. Patrick's Day. Saw maybe 10 people but thought we'd give it a try. We walked up the stairs & were not acknowledged at all; we approached the bar & they gestured to a table, where we sat & waited for someone to attend to us. I went to the bar to ask for a drink & there were 3 people working the bar; however, I waited for three minutes & no one served me, despite my multiple gesturing &'excuse me's. I walked to the other side to get their attention & I was dismissed to another waiter, who also ignored me. A fellow patron was served a pint of Guinness 3/4 full & very poorly poured. My girlfriend & I decided to find another spot, at which point a waiter came & asked us, regrettably, if we were leaving.
We were not helped until they saw us putting our jackets on. So disappointing, especially for an Irish person on St. paddy's Day. Dodged a bullet for sure. So unfortunate. Would not recommend to my worst enemy.
