Karl is the best waiter that I've had. He brings the energy a genuine great guy. Me & my boys had to come back a second time just for Karl to be our waiter again he's awesome. The pubs atmosphere is a very relaxed chill vibe.
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.

I went to Pub St. Paul & honestly had the best service I've ever experienced. Our bartender, Eddy, was incredible. Everything came out quickly, the drinks were made perfectly, & he kept the whole experience fun with jokes & great energy!
The food was really good too, but what will keep me coming back to Pub St. Paul is Eddy's unmatched service. He truly made the night.
If you ever see this-thank you, Eddy. Best bartender ever!
Visited Pub St Paul for an after work gathering. It had a rustic vibe. The staffs were friendly. We were served a custom pre ordered menu that included food & drinks. Food was good, the best one being the fried chicken. Tried a virgin pina colada which I thought was a little too sweet for my taste.
Overall we had a nice experience & everyone had a great time.
J'adore venir au Pub Saint Paul pour l'ambiance, mais surtout pour l'excellent service de Sara. C'est toujours un plaisir de se faire accueillir avec un énorme sourire par quelqu'un qui sait exactement ce que tu vas lui commander & qui te fait sentir aussi à l'aise & en sécurité 💜
PS : merci de ne pas avoir laissé mon amie prendre son auto alcoolisée.
Un endroit digne d'un pub, le poll les flechettes, la musique adaptée à la clientèle. La carte restaurant est vraiment variée & au goût de tout le monde (gluten, vege…)Venez y en famille entre amis, tout le monde devrait trouver son plaisi

Quite a relief to find a place in the old port that doesn't have the usual pretentious vibe of most, if not all, of the restaurants & pubs in the Old Port have lol Just had jalapeno poppers with a couple of drinks but they were great, & not overpriced
Establishment is clean & very on theme for a pub! I ordered the all you can eat fish & chips (27$), they where fresh, not too greasy, & perfectly crispy (i wish i came on an empty stomach so i could enjoy more of it!), other members on my table ordered the poutines, their verdict was that it was tasty but on the heavy/greasy side, unable to finish plate, enjoyable though. Prices are more or less reasonable, staff is very kind! The only reason i doc off a point for service is because there seemed to of been only One Waitress during a huge lunch rush, though she still tried to remain fast & was friendly.
Located in the Old Port is kind of hidden. Ambience is not bad. They play games on big screens. Food is ok , considering it is a pub & service as well. Verdict : give it a try.
Excellent pub; le personnel est très chaleureux & l'ambiance très agréable. J'ai testé le club sandwich; je suis un fan de longue date de ce repas & je recommande!

The pub gives off a welcoming atmosphere. We went during the off-season, which was nice as it was not packed. Their poutine with brie & caramelized onions was amazing, & they have a good selection of drinks.
My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed this pub!! The atmosphere was relaxing, the server was wonderful, & the food was amazing! We will definitely be back! Très bon!!
Our server, Christian, was very attentive & polite. We spoke poor French, & he instantly switched over to English. This was a nice touch. I ordered the flank steak with peppercorn sauce. The steak was so tender that I could cut it with a fork. That's the first time I've been able to do that with any cut that wasn't a filet mignon. My wife got the chicken filet with mushroom sauce, & it was so juicy! The music fit the vibe of the pub perfectly. We are in the city for another week & plan to come back for dinner again.
Fantastic food, great atmosphere & a Cornerstone of old montreal. The staff is exceedingly polite & courteous. I recommend a visit to Pub Saint Paul to any & everybody
