Pub Victoria comes through in reviews as a lively, welcoming pub with a vibrant atmosphere and a strong beer selection, where the terrace and rustic charm are regularly praised and the staff are described as friendly and attentive, making it a great spot for after work, casual meals, or private events. The place can be noisy at times but remains convivial and well laid out to avoid crowding, and the overall pricing is considered reasonable for the neighborhood. Food gets mixed signals: some diners highlight tasty options like poutine, fish and chips, and burgers, while others report uneven quality and dishes that do not meet expectations, with a few notes about long service times. Despite these inconsistencies, many reviews mention excellent service and a fun, engaging environment, including themed evenings and puzzle pint nights, with the feeling that the pub is a local gem worth returning to for drinks, atmosphere, and the chance to chat with staff and fellow patrons.
Came for the puzzle pint night, which was really fun! The drinks were good & the staff friendly, but the food was not very good. It came out quickly, but my fish & chips were hard as a rock & tasted like they had been frozen & then fried. The fries were also bland & tasted old. The rest of the group also mentioned their burgers/poutines, etc. were not very good. Nice little pub, but disappointed in the food quality compared to other places in Montreal.
Premium Montreal Old Port pricing with the food quality of a roadside motel where busses used to stop.
A smoked meat sandwich contained low quality, too thinly cut, & dry/stale smoked meat & it came with overcooked fries. When I asked to replace the fries (which has got to be the cheapest thing possible), they tried to convince me to keep the fries -'they're fine, they just were cooked too long'.
The place looks nice though, the terrace is lovely. So have the drinks & skip the food.

We were staying in an AirBnB around the corner & had the great good fortune to come across this pub! Adam was a great host/server & spent some time chatting with us & told us about the 4 Nations Playoffs that were going on that week. While we waited for the great tasting poutine to arrive we bought tickets to the Finkand/Sweden game. Adam was great fun & didn't hold our crazy president against us.

Great service! The servers are quick & fun. The place was very loud so it was difficult to have a good conversation over a pint. Disappointed they didn't have Guiness on tap, but the cans were fine.
An absolute gem of a pub in Old Town. If you're seeing the Notre Dame Cathedral, this is a great place to stop for some warm food & cold beer. The staff was super kind & gave us recommendations for what to do next during our stay in Montreal! I only regret not getting a poutine while I was there.
Adam gave us amazing service, told us great places to go in Montreal & was very accomodating. Thank you for all the great places to go see & amazing food & service!
