Overall, Pub Wolf & Workman comes across as a lively Old Montreal pub with a warm, cozy vibe and strong good-to-excellent food and drinks. The menu is built around hearty comfort dishes like beef Stroganoff pie, chicken pot pie, and fisherman's pie, plus delicious scotch eggs, hummus plates, and a variety of mezze starters, all paired with a robust beer list, solid cocktails, and a varied whiskey selection. The atmosphere is bustling and welcoming, with a charming courtyard and patio that are especially popular in good weather, though weekends can get loud and parking can be tricky; reservations are often recommended. Service is described as friendly and attentive when not overwhelmed, and portions are generous with many reviewers calling the pies outstanding and the brunch superb, making it a go-to spot for drinks, bites, and casual meals in the area.
We have just returned from a trip to Old Montreal. We checked out this spot based on our friends recommendations!
It truly did not disappoint as we returned every afternoon for happy hour!!
We love finding spots to sit at the bar & meet not only the servers, but regulars & visitors.
Our bartenders Holly & Alex (who bought my husband an over the top amazing sticky toffee dessert for his birthday) were outstanding. We were amazed at the amount of Guiness poured & the cocktails. My goodness as we are so used to seeing draft beer poured & not much else at our favourite spots in SW Ontario!!!
Drinks were tasty & not skimped on, the hummus was amazing & the dessert, well I think we licked the plate.
It is a very busy spot so if you want a spot at the bar or even a table, either reserve or get there early.
Highly recommend this great spot!! Wishing Holly all the best on her next adventure!! Merci!!!

Great cocktails & mocktails! The 3-plate lunch was a TON of food! Mushroom soup was delicious & could have nearly been a meal on its own. The burger I had, with bacon & caramelized onion jam, was incredible, & the fries were perfect. Dessert was a decadent fudge with whipped cream that I couldn't finish, sadly. Service was on point, atmosphere was amazing, & my friend said the bathrooms were clean & stocked.
Absolutely recommended!!!!was there afternoon like around 13, many other places around were ether closed or no alcohol, coffee etc...we decided it was best discovery so far! By the way place is usually full, so it's possible you wait like 5-10 min before they host you.if you'd like to feel the atmosphere of British pub, with absolutely delicious & unique meals, good selection of British beers, cocktails & be surprised that prices are only so good... ?t's definitely the right place to visit!!!🔥🔥🔥
By the way it was nice to feel that you are not forgotten, personnel were so attentive & friendly, so many pleasant memories we've got! Thank you!!!
This place is fantastic! The vibes are 🤌🏻. All of the food we had was amazing & I have no doubt everything on the menu would have been really good. We had the scotch egg (delicious & cooked perfectly), the tuna tartare, & the stroganoff. Would highly recommend any of those menu items! We sat at the bar & had a great time watching the bartenders make the cocktails. All of the cocktails we had were very good!
Pub Wolf & Workman impressed in all the ways a top-rated restaurant should. The food, drinks, service, location, ambiance, & value; all excellent!
We made reservations well in advance for a Thursday evening at 7:30 PM. Upon arrival, we were greeted courteously & promptly seated in a dining room. There was a terrace at the back, which looked great & was full of people enjoying the good vibe.
The whole place was lively, with a vibrant buzz, but somehow it also felt warm, inviting & relaxed, as any place calling itself a pub should feel. The inside had an aesthetically pleasing mix of old-world, even luxurious charm, with a nice modern twist. Trendy, yes, but cozy, too.
Our server was very good. Prompt. Friendly. Bilingual. She listened & engaged & gave us bang-on recommendations. It was busy & she had several tables, but she was positive, attentive & readily available all evening. Great job!
The cocktails were on point. A Coconut Marmalade Horchata & a Wild Strawberry Margarita. I also had a nice pour of Murphy's Irish Stout. All were excellent.
We started with a delicious Howard Scotch Egg with maple syrup sausage, Branston chutney & arugula. Fantastic!
For our mains, we sampled from their famous'Pie Shoppe' & had the popular Chicken Pot Pie & Beef Stroganoff Pie. They were amazing. Eye-poppingly humongous & perfectly prepared. Which is better is a matter of personal preference (esp. re: chicken vs. beef), but in our opinion the Beef Stroganoff Pie was extra-delicious & peerless.
The Wolf & Workman left a great impression as a hospitable, somewhat upscale pub-style restaurant with a great offerings & a very nice blend of British/Quebecois vibe, right in the heart of Old Montreal.

Very lovely staff. Professional & very friendly & they certainly know how to make a mean cocktail. A really well stocked bar, & a very impressive range of Scotch whiskies, & a top shelf to die for...... I would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to chill over a pint or a cocktail ... Five stars for sure.
This place is one of my fav!!! Original & inventive cocktails, good food, great ambiance & I like the vintage decor.
I recommend the beef stroganoff is you are on the market for good comfort food after one of those days at work....
Mind you we went here because it had great ratings & it did not disappoint! Gabriel was our server & she was excellent with perfect English & French (I presume). ;)
We sat'outside' on a warm day but were glad to have a seat. Outside is an interior open courtyard.
We only ordered what she suggested - croquette appetizer (amazing) & a chicken pot pie for me & a fisherman's pie for my wife. Both were as good as it gets. They also have great Quebec beer on tap & interestingly good cocktails.
Our first time together in Montreal so much to see!
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.
