Review Summary

Pub Wolf & Workman is widely praised for its inventive pub fare, standout pies, and well crafted cocktails, delivering a warm, cozy atmosphere that blends British pub charm with a Montreal vibe. Dishes such as the chicken pot pie and beef stroganoff pie are repeatedly highlighted as favorites, along with the scotch egg, mezze plates, and seafood pasta, while the drink program earns frequent compliments from guests. The atmosphere is described as lively yet welcoming, with rich wood, good music, and a comfortable bar area that is popular with locals and visitors alike. Service is often noted as friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, though a few visits report long waits, busy crowds, or occasional miscommunications. The venue is regularly busy, and reservations are advised, with a back terrace or courtyard cited as a standout spot in good weather. Price is mentioned as a potential drawback for drinks or some menu items, but many feel the quality, ambiance, and portion sizes justify the cost. Overall, Pub Wolf & Workman emerges as a reliable go to in Old Montreal for hearty comfort food, strong cocktails, and a vibrant pub experience that suits groups, sports fans, and brunch seekers alike.

Stopped in at Wolf & Workman for lunch between two client meetings & honestly… this place understood the assignment.

I walked in & immediately got that warm,chill,cozy feeling. Perfect indie rock at the right volume vibes. The kind of music that says'stay a while, but don't panic if you have emails.'
The manager was at the bar doing some work, bartender greeted me right away, & when I asked for a quiet spot with a plug to get some laptop work done, they both made sure I was set up properly. Small detail, big win.

My waitress had a serious, slightly cold demeanor but in a good way. April Ludgate energy, minus the chaos. Dry. Professional. Zero nonsense. I loved it.

I ordered an Old Fashioned. She made sure to confirm it was their version (slightly different than the traditional one). I said yes.
Excellent decision.
It was fantastic genuinely one of the best Old Fashioneds I've had in a while, & this is my go-to drink.

Then came the W-W burger (burger of the day). Caramelized onions, jam, cheese the works. Quality ingredients, cooked right. The brioche bun initially felt firm, but it turns out it was just preparing me. That crunch ended up being exactly what the burger needed.

The patty was perfectly rosé… but let me be clear:
This burger was actively trying to escape.

Like a raccoon realizing the trash lid is loose, the patty kept making break attempts from the bun. This is not a burger you casually pick up, put down, & reflect on life choices. No. Once you lift it, you commit. Setting it back down becomes a high-risk maneuver.

I foolishly attempted to pause mid-burger. Bad idea.
Quick reassessment. Napkin deployed on lap for safety.
Second pickup. Final pickup. No turning back.

Despite several escape attempts, I managed to keep it together & enjoyed every bite. The waitress noticed my struggle &, without breaking character, quietly brought extra napkins for the aftermath. Respect.

Am I mad about the inconvenience? Not at all.
It's a burger. Deal with it.
& more importantly ... it was phenomenal.

Cozy, classy, busy but still quiet. A little expensive, but expensive in the right way.
I'll absolutely be back next time I'm nearby.

Service pretty rude on arrival. They misheard'two burgers' as'split a burger' so one of our party went without food, which they didn't apologise for. Not a great first impression of Montreal.

The drinks were great, atmosphere good, food bad (fries were not good & burger too thick & tough )& service worse. Couldn't recommend it, & would never go back.

My companions' food was delicious! As usual, my choice wasn't as good. Although the falafel burger tasted ok, it was sloppy & hard to keep it from deconstructing in my hand.
The courtyard was charming & the rhubarb soda extraordinary!

My family & in-laws came for a late dinner. I just want to preface this by saying we are from Atlanta & we are used to good food & this place did not disappoint. Three people got each of the potpies (beef stroganoff, chicken & fisherman). All 3 were fantastic! My son got a burger & fries. That burger is in my personal top 5 burgers in my life! Overall we had a great experience. 10 out of 10, highly recommend!

I enjoyed the steak tartare with their homemade chips. That was delicious. One of my friends had the chicken pot pie, which they quite enjoyed. Two people had the W&W burgers. They said they were pretty good, but they were quite red in odd places. Like not in the center. So they probably ate half of their burgers. But what they ate they enjoyed. It's just unfortunate that they were not cooked correctly. I also enjoyed a delicious spicy margarita type cocktail, which is the only thing I was able to get a picture of.

Service was great (we were at the bar,), the burger was very good, thick patty, tasted of charcoal BBQ, the cheesecake was not sweet at all, I like it that way. I just found it overpriced ($12) & it was a small piece. We chatted with the people next to us, was a lovely evening. Great people, great food.

Great service & vibes, unfortunately dry & flavorless burgers. We loved being here to watch sports but the food kinda has that tourist trap feel where it looks so, so much better than it tastes. The buns were like crumbly dry & the beef patty soaked up my mouth like saltines do. The roasted cauliflower salad was pretty good, just didn't wow me at all.

My wife & I & two other couples met for a pre-Christmas brunch at Wolf & Workman Pub on St. Paul Street in Old Montreal. The first thing you notice is the décor of the pub, it's has a beautiful interior with lots of dark wood, stone walls, polished brass & red leather seating, It really is a beautiful restaurant. Wolf & Workman has a unique combination of British & Quebecois food, fused in unique combinations. We ordered from the brunch menu & I had the W&W burger, which is a very generous burger portion coupled with hand cut fries. The Pub added an additional spicy mayo to the burger dish which was excellent. My wife ordered the crunchy sucrine salad with pesto with an additional order of chicken. She said it was excellent. The service at W&W was excellent & the Pub is equipped with a wide range of beer, wine & liquors for even the eclectic palate. Non-alcoholic options are available as well. Eating at Wolf & Workman was really a wonderful experience & one we would recommend to anyone visiting Old Montreal. A special shout-out to our server Chantal who was absolutely excellent!

Great pub... love the atmosphere, the food & the service. Had the feature burger & it was excellent. Nicely located on St-Paul St in Old MTL... definitely a place I would go back to.

Flavour was pretty good. The only thing that ruined our mood was, the house burger has bacon in it, while the ingredients in the menu didn't mention bacon at all. Hope they can be more inclusive & considerate towards people's religions & dietary restrictions.

I didn't eat, but what my friends had looked all in all delicious & plentiful, especially the Indian chicken. The burger looked average & the fries burned. Friendly service & nice outdoor seating in a court decorated with little light chains.
