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.
Made a last minute reservation on a holiday Monday & had an extraordinary experience. The drinks (including the'Negroni of the week') were phenomenal & reasonably priced. The food was INCREDIBLE - homemade chips with the most delicious French onion dip I've ever had. For my main I ordered the porch chop with white beans & chorizo & I've been craving it ever since. My wife ordered the chicken pot pie which was absolutely amazing. Last but not least - the service was absolute perfection. The servers were the friendliest & genuinely sweetest people I encountered on our trip, & we're talking Canada so everyone is already operating at a level of courtesy above & beyond the states. The service & the wonderful people at Wolf & Workman truly made our experience perfect. I only wish I could remember specific names! You will NOT regret a table, a drink, & some incredible food here. Cannot recommend enough.
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!!!
Huge merchant at this spot & if I could give 10 stars I would, one of my favourite places in Montreal. Always recommend to my friends & anyone visiting because of the food & the amazing service. Breakfast lunch & dinner it's the spot. Phil Angie & Gabriella are the best thank you to the wolf & the mqn
We popped in to this pub for lunch at 11:40 & were quickly seated & served water. I had the house burger & fries with a pint of Stella , & my wife had the chicken pot pie with hot, lemon water. Both meals were excellent. The server was very friendly & attentive. I finished with an excellent latte (cafe au lait). As we were leaving (around 12:50) we noticed that the place was packed.
I highly recommend the Pub Wolf & Workman !

We stumbled upon this lovely pub on St. Patrick's Day. They were busy but warm & attentive, so we were willing to wait a bit. The scotch egg was delightful, & the STPCC (sticky toffee pudding carrot cake) was so delicious. The pints were good & the atmosphere was nice. Would recommend!!
The beverages were awesome, & the servers both times I went were energized & helpful. I even asked one where we should go next & they recommended a great follow up pub.
We got food the first time & split it three ways. The lamb pasta melted in the mouth & the cauliflower dish was a great add on. I would go back for more but just having drinks there was also fun.
Had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, & full of flavor. The service was attentive & welcoming, & the atmosphere was perfect - lively but still intimate. Such a great spot for a night out. Highly recommend!

Almost immediately after this place opened, we became regulars. The servers were fantastic, the food was really good & we loved the courtyard terrace. Over the years we brought lots of friends & family to Wolf & Workman, & I always recommended it to people. So, why only 2 stars? We stopped going when we noticed it was claiming to be in the Old Port. When we asked our server once, she said:'Yeah, we know it's not but it's for tourists, I guess.' As longtime Old Montreal residents who supported Wolf & Workman (including in the slower winter months), we were ticked off. If they're lying to attract tourists, then maybe they don't care about residents. A neighbour who used to be a regular said he stopped going, too, because'if they're lying about being in the Old Port, what else are they lying about?' It's a shame that Wolf & Workman have decided to alienate Old Montreal residents. If you choose to go (& you should) you will likely get seated easily because there are a few less regulars using up tables.
Went here to celebrate my birthday & honestly, it was a terrible experience. The moment we walked in, the server rushed us to order because the kitchen was closing & literally stood over us until we decided.
The food was very disappointing & felt low quality & compromised.
We ordered a cheesecake to be served at 12:00am for the celebration never received it. My friend had even pre-ordered a cake & was ready to pay online. They refused payment & said they'd provide one on the house… but we never got that either.
We also asked to change seats since we were stuck beside the glass wall. The server said he'd check, we saw tables open up, yet we were never moved.
Overall, very poor service, zero effort, & we honestly felt ignored maybe because we don't speak French. Worst birthday dinner experience. Would not recommend.
One of the best pubs/bars in the Vieux Port area of Montreal. The decoration was lovely, a mix of old school pub vibes with a classy bar. The prices were very reasonable, we were dumbfounded that you could still get a beer for 8.50, even more so in this area of town. There was a few TV's to watch sports, but not too many to lose its charm.
The service was solid, even when it was busy, the people serving were kind.
This has now become my go to pub in the area, you get a little bit of everything without taking away anything.
Would definitely recommend.

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!!!
We arrived at the wrong time . Kitchen closes for an hour . Very friendly reception . It was a place recommended . Either full or kitchen closed . I guess we were not meant to try this place
The meat pie & the tuna tartare are phenomenal. The staff is incredibly warm! We wanted gin shot & the bar tender recommended a gin & tonic, we did not regret!!
