Hands down the BEST pub in Montreal, & quite possibly Eastern Canada. Superb atmosphere. Vibes are exceptional thanks to the staff, & the owners have clearly put a ton of thought & love into making this a true pub experience. Whoever runs this place, you're crushing it. Can't wait to go back!
I never leave bad reviews, but this place was awful. Nicely decorated place but the waitress was rude from the get-go. We were a party of four, two of us were having the same thing & when they brought out the food mine was missing, after five minutes I asked if mine was coming & with a terrible attitude, she said she thought we were sharing. Mistakes happen but at least be polite about it. When we asked for another drink, she rolled her eyes. I was going to say something to the manager on the way out about the rude waitress, but then I heard the manager complaining to a different waitress that my son was taking too long to help his aunt on with her coat, so they're all like it. I kicked myself later for leaving a tip, creature of habit I suppose. There's plenty of restaurants in Montreal, why pay for mediocre food & terrible service...

Beautiful pub, friendly staff & amazing pies!!! We were lucky to order the last stroganoff pie of the night, which was to die for!!! The chicken one was also incredible.
Also, good thing we had a reservation because it was packed inside!!
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!!!
Proper Pie - beef stroganoff - didn't want it to end... Yum yum. My wife had the Chicken Pot Pie, full of chicken flavor, great pastry - one of the best. The Bitter was a good pint. Great music! Just go!
Service pretty rude on arrival. They misheard'two burgers' as'split a burger' so one of our party went without food, which they didn't apologise for. Not a great first impression of Montreal.
I've been a loyal customer at Wolf & Workman for quite some time, but my experience last night was disappointing enough to really reconsider returning.
We arrived around 6:30 PM & were seated without any mention of a time limit on our table. We had a couple of beers & our dinner, enjoying our evening as usual. But immediately after we finished eating, the waiter came over & abruptly told us they'really needed the table.' We were a bit surprised but still trying to finish our drinks. Within a couple of minutes, he returned, pressuring us again to leave before my friend even had a chance to finish her drink.
I get that it was busy, but as regulars, we would have appreciated a heads-up or at least a bit more courtesy. Being rushed out like that really left a sour taste. Hopefully, the management can handle this kind of situation more gracefully in the future.
