Super cool place, it was a pleasant surprise. The music is super good, the place is big and comfortable and has billiard boards. Really sick place

DO NOT GO HERE. My friend and I were visiting this past week for a concert and found this place online and we’re super excited to go. We had a big day that day and we’re preparing for a concert so we thought making a reservation was the best way to secure a spot. After making the reservation I was given a confirmation notification and told to arrive at 5:30. We arrived, it was a total ghost town with nobody inside, front door was locked but music was blaring from the inside. We were a few minutes early so we decided to just wait and looked for a contact number while we did. To our surprise there was no number for contact and so we waited until 5:45 politely knocking every few minutes. Not one time did someone come to the door, so we left. That should be the end of it no? WELL, to my surprise we got an email on the 26th (2 days after the booking) saying our reso is confirmed (photos attached) we were obviously very confused as it was now 2 days after the booking. We wrote it off as a mistake and ended up having a great night anyway (shout-out to 3 brasseurs, best experience there) but then just now, 3 days after my trip, I get an email saying our reso has been denied (also attached a picture)
I have no idea what their booking system is and if this is just a one time experience but it’s giving shady, unprofessional, and irresponsible. DO NOT GO HERE.
PS - after returning to the subway after the concert we noticed they were OPEN and had never called us to ask about our reservation or explain what happened. Super unprofessional and very relieved we didn’t give them our business.

went there on a bar crawl on Tuesday 22nd March in 2005. I remember meeting a really tall 6ft 4 inch tall handsome french man who had really dark hair who was staying at Auberge Montreal Hostel at the time where I was also staying & he was on the bar crawl. I regret not getting to know him because I really liked him at the time & I can’t stop thinking about him. If you know anyone who was there on the pub crawl that night, please let me know. Apart from that, I really like the pub, the atmosphere, the food & the drinks. It’s a really good, fun place to go to

Perfect dive bar. Popping with people. Great crowd with soooooo many beautiful women. This spot was the ideal after dinner night spot to visit. The bartender was really cool and was on the spot every time.
The one con is the bathroom. It is pretty gross. But hey, it is a dive bar.

I have been there twice. First time liked the vibe. Second time was such a disappointment. The interior smelt of damp cleaning product for a long time. It took about twenty minutes to put an order. The bartender was looking for glassware to serve what felt like a signature drink. It took more than half an hour for a simple batch of fries to come out of the kitchen. The place is cozy and suitable for large group.

the bartender was really nice and courteous but there was this awful smell in the place, my friends ran away as soon as we sat down but I stayed for two shots. I'm sure it was just a mishap and it don't usually smells bad. will probably come back for a drink and a pool game.

I am not sure what happened there but, the 2 L pitchers were at most 1.5 L. The cocktails had almost 0 alcohol, I will not be going there any more and I don’t recommend it to anybody.
Everything about Mad Hatters Pub is amazing. However, why it’s getting a 3 star is the bathroom. It’s very disgusting. I remember around new years, around the bathrooms smelt very bad. Other than that, customer service is great 👍🏾

Best bar on Crescent Street. The staff are all awesome and it’s pretty cheap.

Weird vibe from the bouncer all night. He kept acting like he didn’t recognize us every time we stepped out and came back in, even though we’d literally just been inside. But the worst part? One of us politely said he didn’t have to be rude after he refused to let our friend back in, and he completely lost it. He straight up picked her up off the ground and shoved her aside just because she spoke up. It was aggressive and way out of line. Totally unacceptable. We left immediately and won’t be going back.

Mad hatter is just our vibe. It is dimly lit, has pool tables, and everything you would hope for in a fun night out! Everything about it, we just love. Highly recommend it!

Used to go here with friends 6-7 yrs ago and it was alright. Still a dive bar but was more kept up and looked at least decent. Recently went back with 2 girlfriends and there was a strong smell like vomit when we walked in the door. When we gave constructive feedback about this to the waiter he became defensive and acted like we shouldn’t expect better and that we just didn’t notice how bad it was in our college days. But we know it used to be better there …
While deciding if we were going to stay, I had to use the washroom so took a chance and went here but regretted it. One toilet had had the seat torn off and the other (very dark and dust-caked) stall had no toilet paper. Nothing to dry hands with either. There was also no closing door on the washroom if I recall and some dudes playing pool right outside. Told the waiter about the tp and he said he’d have the busboy go refill supplies, and that they’re « not exactly a 5-star establishment . » Well, you called it 🙄
It’s nice to have a bar with pool tables and couches (maybe?) but this place just felt sleazy and has gone downhill. We were nearly the only girls there and left after 5 mins.
