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.
My boyfriend & I frequent old port & always look forward to coming to the wolf & workman during our stay. The courtyard is an incredible vibe in the summer, but eating in the dining room is equally as lovely. The staff are always attentive & engaging, & the food is always incredible. I'm not sure if the menu changes seasonally, as the last time we were there we had their escargot appetizer as well as their beef cottage pie, but this time they weren't on the menu. This time we opted to just split a bunch of appetizers since everything sounded delicious, & we were not disappointed. The cocktails are also extremely delicious, & I look forward to returning soon!
We had the pleasure of eating & sipping cocktails at The Wolf & Workman Pub, & it truly felt like stepping into a classic London pub-only with a uniquely Montreal twist. Tucked away in the charming Old Town, this spot delivered on every front, from its outstanding food to its inviting ambiance & top-notch bar service.
What truly sets The Wolf & Workman apart is its exceptional blend of traditional pub fare & local Quebecois ingredients. The menu proudly features seasonal produce sourced from Quebec's independent farmers. We had the chance to try several dishes, including the Beef Tartare, Calamari, Scotch Egg, Salmon Gravlax, Gnocchi Bolognese, & Quebec Pork Schnitzel-each dish was delicious.
The drinks deserve a mention of their own. The mixologist behind the bar was a true artist, crafting cocktails that were as visually captivating as they were tasty. The cocktail menu incorporated local flavours, which added a twist to every classic drink.
A standout moment of our visit was meeting Sean Michael, one of the co-owners. He made us feel incredibly welcome & took the time to share the intriguing history behind the pub. Hearing about The Wolf & Workman's journey & its commitment to quality truly enhanced the experience. Sean's genuine passion for the pub is reflected in every detail, making the space feel even more special.
The atmosphere was cozy & intimate, with rich wood accents & warm lighting that evoke the spirit of a beloved British pub-but with a distinctly Montreal touch. It was the perfect place for a casual laid-back yet sophisticated evening.
The Wolf & Workman Pub is a must-visit for anyone in search of outstanding food, exceptional cocktails, & a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're a local or just passing through, it's a spot you'll want to return to. A perfect blend of London charm & Quebec pride-what's not to love?
One of our favorite spots in Montreal, we came two times during our 5 day stay in the city. Both times we sat at the bar & had a couple of rounds of cocktails, & all of them were perfectly done, both times we had an extra round as how good they were, nothing too fancy just well done & down to earth. With the food we only tasted their fries which were very tasty, crunchy & salty. The bartenders & waiters were focused, friendly & polite, always willing to answer any questions graciously no matter how busy they were. We were made feel at home & we cannot wait to come back!
Un bar où l on sert de véritables cocktails .avec du goût ,de la personnalité. Les barmans sont très sympas & sont à l écoute . On n à pas l impression de vous avoir vendu un glaçon uniquement .
Cauliflower salad was great; lamb korma pie was under-spiced, & pork croquettes were mushy & uninteresting inside. The presentation, sauces & salads are excellent. Service was cheerful & polite, but could have been more proactive about navigating the minefield that is the cocktail menu (i.e, point out clearly that a drink has a weird ingredient like chocolate or banana liqueur!). Tonic was flat.

Stopped in late Saturday afternoon for a drink & a little bite because we were feeling peckish. The host was super friendly & welcoming. Our server had a great smile & her service was good. We ordered 1 cider & 1 blood orange ginger sour. It cocktail was a bit on the small side but super delicious with just the right amount of g of sweetness. We ordered the salmon tartare & an order of fries. The salmon tartare came with four crisps. It was good, light & refreshing that paired nicely with the side order of fries.
Just what old Mtl needed. What a team they put together. Wine, cocktails & food done right. It's so beautiful inside & everyone is so friendly. Reminds me of my other favorite pub lord William. Great job guys I'll keep coming back for sure!
Bartenders were kind & upbeat. They created a personal experience & tailored drinks to preferences. Really great cocktails & atmosphere. Highly recommend. One of the best in Montreal.

Another amazing experience at Wolf & Workman. The cocktails were different than a usual lineup & created with taste & experience in mind. Loved the different flavours to start my meal. The food was incredibly fresh & authentic with great flavours. I will definitely be back
Great atmosphere & friendly, helpful bartenders with a jawdropping choice of beers, wines & cocktails. We only stopped their briefly, so didn't have a chance to try the food.
Best time at wolf & workman that we came two days in a row!! Best bartenders ever are none other than Chantale & Kayla. Their impeccable service & quality cocktails make the experience there awesome. Also the food there is AMAZING, soo delicious & fresh!
Very cool atmosphere & delicious food. I will definitely be returning next time I'm in the area. Cocktails were delicious! If I rated the food for appetizers alone, I would give a 5/5. However, sadly the lamb shank was not what I was hoping for. The seasoning is unlike any other lamb shank I've eaten & did not accentuate the flavor of the lamb. The couscous & side salad were bland & without much flavor. I recommend the scotch egg, escargot, & polpettes as appetizers!
