This place is a great experience & one of the finer Pubs in Montreal. This is a must visit for locals & travelers!
The way the atmosphere hits the right pub vibe. Small, cozy, friendly, & expansive. The wood finish & the lighting gives a sense like you have been going there your whole life.
The service was very friendly, super fast, & helpful. Our waiter understood we only spoke English & that was no problem on their end.
The food was outstanding & very creative! Arancini to start is the way to go as they were tasty, creamy, & hearty. The Chicken Pot pie was super hot but it was delicious. The seafood pasta was very fresh & filling. The presentation & portion size was near perfect. The drinks were mixed to perfection. The mixology is top tier here.
The prices are above average but worth every bit.
Overall, Pub Wolf & Workman is an amazing place to have a bite to eat or watch a futball game with the regulars that go there. This is a hometown pub up & down.
Loved this pub! Patio was super cute, service was great. Loved the atmosphere. Just stopped for a drink & some fries but would love to go back for a real dinner!
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 first & only review goes to Wolf & Workman, who absolutely earned it. My friend, Kate, & I spent over a week in Montréal & stumbled upon this spot on our first day. We ended up coming back again & again. The food & drinks were excellent, & the staff couldn't have been kinder to us (shoutout to Kayla!). We're already planning our return to Montréal, & the chicken pot pie & drinks alone are more than enough reason to come back. We're wondering how many visits it'll take before we earn scarf hanging privileges? Our team/place of work would look pretty good up there…
Definitely recommend trying this pub in Old Montreal. We were a group of 8 people, on Friday evening, & they were able to accommodate us at the terrasse on the back. We stayed for drinks only, they have a lot to choose from & they are all tasty. Beautiful decor & great friendly staff!
Update : came back 2 years after my first review & would still give it a 5⭐. Tried the chicken pot pie, it was good but I prefered the beef Stroganoff pot pie.

We came here for drinks before our dinner at a different restaurant & we regretted not booking this place for our dinner instead. We were drooling over every food that was brought to other tables, we've noticed that the pot pie was the popular dish & I can't wait to try it next time I am in Montreal!
I organiser my 50th birthday party here for over 40 of my friends. Sean-Michael & his team did a Great job organizing the drinks & food & took care of all the guests. The food & drinks were great.

We sat on the back patio which had shade & ceiling fans running. It was very pleasant out there for such a hot day. Our waitress was great but she had A LOT of tables out there. We were not in a rush & enjoyed our time. Food was very good as were the drinks.
Overall a very good experience & would recommend coming here.
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.
We had such a great dinner. Have to lead with the food. I have been salivating for the Salmon Pave since leaving. Drinks were interesting & excellent. The atmosphere & service were right behind it. Seating is a little tight but plan to go back soon.
