Overall, Pub St-Paul is seen as a reliable, convivial option for a night out, offering good value, ample space, and a welcoming environment for groups, couples, and locals alike, with the Old Port view adding to the appeal.
Had a great experience with the food - it was decently cheap relative to the other restaurants in our area. One thing that I'm really concerned though was the lack of transparency with tips.
Our waiter told us as we paid the bill that tipping was mandatory. I completely understand the importance of tips, I've done front of house work in a restaurant myself, but there should be a sign or someone telling you AS YOU walk in that tipping is mandatory. We have that right as customers.
Repas ce jour pour 8 personnes, dont 4 enfants. Nous avons été servis par Margo! Elle a été adorable & arrangeante! Merci à elle. Endroit idéal pour les familles, mieux que dautres restau à touristes. Des assiettes tellement copieuses comme je n'ai jamais vu & bonnes. Alors merci!

Excellent endroit pour prendre une bière & manger entre amis, que ce soit en petit ou en grand groupe. L'établissement s'étend sur plusieurs étages, & certaines sections à l'arrière offrent une vue imprenable sur le Vieux-Port.
Had a pretty fine time with a nice view over the street. Only had one drink with my friend. When we paid my friend didn't tip, she only had a drink from a slushie machine & the waitress responded aggressively sarcastic saying'that's really nice thanks' & I literally only tipped out of fear of further confrontation, she did not deserve it.

Super ambiance & personnel très accueillant. La vue sur le Vieux-Port est absolument magnifique. La nourriture était bonne & l'endroit offre une belle variété d'activités, comme une table de billard & un jeu de fléchettes. Je recommande sans hésiter!

I had such a great experience here! Food was amazing & the staff were all incredibly friendly & welcoming.
Perfect location with an incredible view overlooking the Old Port. Whether you're visiting Montreal or you're a local, this spot is a must. Highly recommend for a great meal & a great atmosphere!
My friend paid 17$ for a pina colada, he planned on tipping cash however as the bartender saw that he didn't tip on the machine, she tossed the machine onto the counter & snorted. After making us wait 10 minutes & serving other customers first, she came to us & said'we serve based on tips, & you didn't tip' my friend had the 5$ in his hand however after seeing this the bartender told us to keep it. I believe that whether you tip immediately or not you should be served with the same care as someone who tips upfront.
We had the kindest waitress & waiter! the fried calamari changed me & the paintings on the wall were the coolest
& A BEAUTIFUL ORANGE SLICE IN THE TALL ICED GLASS OF DIET COKE IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL TOUCH
The vibe of this place is really good . Quite big & this is the only place where one can find place even during the very busy seasons . Great for a number of people who want to catch up & sit for longer hours .
