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.
Stopped in for brunch & did not regret it! Being British I appreciated their take on the'Full English'. The food was delicious & plentiful! The wait staff were attentive & kind. Had a lovely table by the window in a quaint pub. Special shout out for the Liverpool scarf hanging by the bar.
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!

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.
My boyfriend & I really loved the vibes here! The pub was a lively environment, beautiful setting & great atmosphere. Our server, Zev, was absolutely fantastic. Zev was personable & made us feel so welcome!

Excellent Sunday brunch at the Pub Wolf & Workman! The food was great & included gluten free options. The rear outdoor patio was a nice option on a sunny day. Service was great. Highly recommended!
Hearty pub food in the middle of Vieux-Montreal. The mezze plate, burrata & fisherman pie were real standout dishes! We were seated in the outdoor terrace, where there was a fantastic ambience, great service & even dog friendly!

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.
WOW! Stumbled on this pub & what a wonderful surprise! Our server Zev was charming & thoughtful with great recommendations for food & drinks!! Everything was so delicious! 10/10 a must visit while in Montreal!
La nourriture était excellente. Je recommande le pâté au boeuf stoganoff qui était délicieux. Par contre, la serveuse n'a pas souris une seule fois & n'est jamais revenue pour nous demander si tout était bon ou si nous avions besoin d'autre chose. Je recommande quand même le restaurant car les autres serveurs étaient vraiment sympathique. J'ai vraiment aimé le décor du pub.

On a week long trip to Montreal, the mushroom rigatoni at Wolf & Workman was the best meal I had. I regretfully forget the name of our server, but she was wonderful. The menu here is a very eclectic mix, not what I would expect for pub fare, but it was fantastic!! I cannot say enough good things about the food & service here, I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area. Please excuse the photo of the half-eaten meal… It was so good I could hardly stop after the first bite to take a picture!
Great pub with really good comfort food. I had the chicken pot pie & it was delicious. Service was excellent. The host who greeted us was very accommodating & moved us from an inside table to a patio table when we asked for it. A very popular place, even with all the street construction happening outside. Reservations recommended.
Very cozy & nice pub, delicious food & a nice selection too. Had the Rigatoni which I would so recommend. Service was a tad bit slow to begin with but no problems.
