2026: great music. Solid gin & tonics. Decent steak & mushroom pie, mashed potatoes could have used salt. Great service.
2024: Friendly service. Dark & stormy was watered down but my other two cocktails were perfect. Great music.
Ye Olde Orchard is a Monkland Village staple for a reason. It's a classic Irish pub right in the heart of NDG with a great, easygoing vibe. It's always a reliable spot for a fun night out. Went on a Wednesday for trivia & hockey which made it a really lively atmosphere. Sat at the bar & had a burger & fries with a Guinness, & my boyfriend had the fish & chips. Great beer & solid pub food all around.
Service was friendly & welcoming, & it's the kind of place you can tell has lots of regulars. Just an easy, fun spot to hang out. We'll definitely be back 🍔🍻🏒

First come first served seating basis. The pub has a cozy feel with dim lighting. The service was friendly. They offer all your typical drinks & beer. Their cheeseburgers are always good with a generous portion of fresh French fries.
We first went August 5, 2025. The chicken noodle soup had not even a bit of chicken, & the broth was thin. I also had the Irish stew. It made me go to the bathroom for a good part of the next day. Nevertheless, we returned September 2, 2025 to give the place another chance. The fish & chips came with lukewarm french fries. The waiter said he would bring hot fries. He did after a while but in the meantime I had to eat the fish before it also cooled. Although I technically had both fish & chips, the idea is to have them together: The dish isn't called'Fish & EVENTUALLY, Chips'. The waiter should have taken the entire dish back & served a new order, all hot. I thought of asking him to take the whole thing back but I wasn't interested in having an argument. If they could get the fries hot the second time, they certainly could have done it the first time. It's because the kitchen figured they could get away with it. Bad attitude.
Very cute pub with a good atmosphere. The food & drinks are solid, & the staff is friendly. The calamari is one of our favorites, & I personally really like the bacon mac & cheese. My husband also really enjoys the burgers. A nice spot all around!
I went here for a drink with my friend & it was one of the best experiences I've had on Monkland.
My friend & I have been to multiple places, Orchard by far the one I would recommend to have a drink & food at.
My server Chris gave great recommendations & amazing service.
If you want a good time on a sunny day, go to Orchard & ask for Chris
Sam was the bartender & also made our experience amazing
Come with my friends all the time & always greeted with a warm smile & friendly staff. Best place to come & have a good time! Chris you are everythinggggg!
This place feels like visiting an old friend. You can sit for hours & never feel rushed. The beer is always cold & the food is always hot. The service is great, everyone is friendly & welcoming.

Such a chill spot, whether you're with friends, family or even just to have a drink solo! The friendliest staff ever! 10/10 would definitely recommend!!
Had a lovely bruch. Wait staff was friendly, & mentioned she was working the front by herself today so we were prepared for any extra wait. There wasn't any noticeable extra wait for good.
The pub is my go to place to eat on Monkland. The food is great, atmosphere is wonderful but the best part is the staff. All of the servers are friendly & personable, they remember who I am when I come in, are funny, hold a conversation & are super respectful. I couldn't recommend this place enough.
Great place to chill with friends & family. Went here on a Saturday evening. Not too big pub, but the food & service are amazing. Love the sangria & the appetizers, especially the honey garlic chicken wings & nachos. Will definitely visit this place again.
