50 Best Pubs in Montreal

“Pleasant atmosphere & great food“

“A big shoutout to our waiter Scott who made our delightful lunch even more delightful. Thank you!“

“This is a reasonably a good bar and restaurant, however there is a short hair waitress who is very rude with everyone, if you visit this place pray not to have this waitress !“

“j'ai adoré mon expérience! le personnel est vraiment sympatique, professionnel souriant etc ! la nourriture est super bonne ! nous avons passé une méchante belle soirée 🤩“

“J'ai demandé 3 fois mon reçu à la serveuse, après 3 factures éronnées, j'ai fini par payé 18$ pour un gin tonic simple! Après avoir expliqué la situation au gérant Sam, il me propose des shooters gratuits en compensation, ce que j'accpate directement! Malgré cela, il me sort de l'établissement en prétextant la fermeture du bar. Aggressivement, et sur un ton très condescendant, il m'informe que le bar doit fermer à l'instant, et que je dois quitter sur le champ... Je n'ai jamais reçu ce qui m'était du, et offert!! Personnellement, le bar: "Le madame smith" est un bar où je ne retournerai plus jamais, tant le service que pour le respect du client! -1/10 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼“

Only advert with a full film in the lamps…
If only you had been there
Y-could have taken advantage of the promo shots!

(only problem is the douchebag I was with, see photo)“

“Bonne bouffe , serveur sympathique“

“Maybe the definition of an excellent neighborhood bar with great bartenders (Josee and Flo standouts for me) and what all "dive bars' should aspire to be.

Well priced drinks, friendly regulars and chill staff

It doesn't have food anymore but you can just bring food inside so I don't hate that with several good options right around it.“

“Belle ambiance de pub, musique 🎶👌“

“Friendly service, music a little loud, but when we asked for 7 different shots of just one type of alcohol each, apparently it was too complicated for the bartender. But we were served lots of different drinks before… Excuse being that they are short of staff. Would he have refused us 7 B52s because it was too complicated?

Maybe it's just the bartender, but this is the first time I've seen this.

That said, they accept that we bring food from elsewhere when they close the kitchen, and I had fun.

Just ran into a slightly cowardly bartender I guess.“

“Très beau groupe d' artistes de spectacles et les spectacles sont toujours réellement magnifiques bien sûr ! Monique !“

“Had an amazing experience at Rustik Sunday night thanks to the bartender with curly hair! Always so attentive and helpful and you can tell everyone loves her! I often avoid this place on the nights that the Asian looking lady with glasses works as she’s very rude and aggressive and seems to hate everyone in the world and will avoid giving back change by any means necessary assuming she deserves a 30% tip“

“this will be my second time to Montreal and I love this place. I was here two years ago and fell in love with the place. the owner is amazing! Go in a Friday, is his day to schmooze with the patrons. by far my favorite place I go to when I'm in Montreal. and the merch is great. I can't say enough about this place. Can't wait to com back. from your friends in Victoria BC. thanks CJ.❤️“

“It is always a great pleasure to have lunch at Brasserie Bernard. I like everything: The cuisine, the team, the location, the atmosphere and the consistency in the quality of service and dishes! Thank you for existing in my beautiful neighborhood!“

“Great place to watch the game“

“Good food great people ….“

“Great 10$ breakfast before 11:00am Sunday! Great service from Andrew!!“

“Amazing food, atmosphere and service.“

“The bartenders are some of the nicest people I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with, it’s got great prices, and the atmosphere’s just great altogether. After a long day of walking around the city, it’s nice to pop in for a cold pint. It’s cash only, but there’s an ATM right there for you to use, so it’s really not a big deal. I fully get why this place is so beloved.“

“We love our local Mile-End pub. Alsways friendly and cosy atmosphere :)“

“Petit arrêt d'un samedi après-midi. Belle banquette en demi-lune face à la rue, très intéressant. Belle grande variété de bière. Menu à grignoter un peu simpliste. Tarif ok, border line. Nous avons passé un bon moment“

“Great time!!! Lots of fun too“

“A proper Pub.

Visiting Montreal and popped in there for a quick drink whist I was looking for a take away (and escaping the wife and kid left back in the hotel), it was a Sunday evening and there was a few others there having a drink, decent vibe, I sat at the bar, the bartender was chatty and we had a laugh, I left after 30 mins but will definitely return when I am back in town.“

“On a fait une activité de groupe pendant 3 heures animée par Lou du Randolphe. Après 1 minute, il nous avait conquis. Drôle, répartie accoté, j ai eu un fun mort! Demandez Lou pour vos animations.“

“On a eu crissement du plaisir !“

“We had lunch at this # Brasseurs location on St-Paul E. in Old Montreal on Thursday May 2, 2024. We choose this because we had a very good time at the other on on Rue de St-Denis on Tue 4/30/24. We had just completed a 2-1/2 hr walking tour that ended near here. So exploring is thirsty work & it was lunch time. Big brewpub with 2 levels. The upper level was hosting about 100 high school students on a field trip. We sat at the bar and were immediately acknowledged by the busy bartender, Marina. She brought menus & waters and took our drink orders. I had a spicy Bloody Maria ($6.75) & my bride had a white wine ($10). I had a loaded, juicy burger w/ frites ($20) and she had the chicken Caesar salad ($16). Well prepared, burger hot & salad cold-perfect. Our second time at a 3 Brasseurs was a relaxing experience after exploring Vieux Montreal. Thank you & Merci to Marina and the staff. Nick & Liz, Albany, NY USA“

“Pub Victoria in Montreal is a nice place to spend an evening with friends. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, with decor that mixes classic pub charm with a modern twist. The beer selection is varied, with good local options, and the cocktails are well prepared. As for food, the dishes are good, especially the burgers, well stocked and tasty. Service is generally quick and courteous, which adds to the experience. If you're looking for a friendly place to have a drink or a snack, Pub Victoria is a good choice.

“For anyone wondering if this is a good bar, it is! For years I was skeptical about this place because of its location but I was so surprised when I opened the door. You can’t tell from outside but the space is actually really nice and cozy and SUPER clean! Their bathrooms are spotless, their counters and fridges are so so clean, everything shines. I was served by a bartender that has been working there for 16 years, a beautiful lady with a great smile. The atmosphere was great, it’s the kind of bar where people easily talk to each other, we made a friendship in there.There’s only one catch, there are slots in there that can attract a certain kind of stressed people.Give the bar a chance, I recommend it.Ah! Cheap pints Wednesdays and Sundays“

“kyle was super nice to us..“

“Nice selection of beers but the food is super cheap. It helps but if you can eat before coming for a drink it’s better. Very cool quiz evenings, great atmosphere on Tuesday and Wednesday. Great service! Plethora of Board Games available to play and for sale. Good evening guaranteed.“

“played several new games. loved it.“

“Excellent place to stop for a meal or a beer. Friendly staff and amazing food.“

“love that place Dom is awesome“

“Great time!!! Lots of fun too“

“Authentic Irish pub (but in French). Live music on weekends. I only stopped for one mid-day - it was quiet, but l’ve seen enough Irish pubs to know this was the real deal.“

“kyle was super nice to us..“

“Good music, friendly staff and good choice of beers. What else can you ask for 👍“

“Bar Chez Baptiste was a very good experience. We stumbled onto it by accident looking for some food and a drink. We were not disappointed. The smoked meat sandwich was very tasty and a good price, but the real show stopper was the drinks. The strawberry mohito was definitely worth the stop. Aside from that all of the drinks were pretty cheap and shots cost next to nothing. Really nice vibes with a very friendly staff. Would come back again!“

“Ok je n’y ai jamais été , mais avec p-o à l’animation et Vincent Descôteaux à la chronique c’est sur que je vais adorer et en plus il y’a plusieurs humoristes à son show donc ceux qui ont la chance ou qui habitent à Montréal ALLEZ-Y ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Wow! We came for beer and maybe something salty to nibble. I expected the beer to be high level and it was. A pleasant surprise was that the food was every bit as good as the beer. We stuck to a few appetizers but they were all above and beyond. The service was terrifically friendly as well. Thank you all.“

“I loved it, we came to visit Montreal to spend the birthday of one of my friends, and they recommended this place to us, and we really loved it, the atmosphere, the music, the food and above all the attention of the waiter Camilo, if you come you will I recommend!✨“

“Vraiment tout est délicieux!!! Excellents plats et cocktails!!!“
