“We came here after a long day of struggling to find vegan options that were open in the late afternoon. I’m so glad we did. It was quiet, the waiter was extremely friendly, the food was very very good. I know poutine is hard to make vegan, but this place did it well. I also had the chef’s bowl which was huge and delicious. Just what I needed after a long day of being hungry!“

“Amazing staff Amazing place“

“La bière est évidemment excellent et la guédille de homard est légendaire.“

“Bonne bouffe , serveur sympathique“

“In the damp embrace of March's eve,On the corner street where shadows weave,A neighborhood bar's lights softly gleam,Reflecting in puddles, like a moonlit dream.Whispers of laughter, glasses clink,In the moist air, secrets sync,Raindrops dance on the cobblestone,A symphony of solitude, an atmosphere sown.Through misty panes, a warm allure,Inviting souls seeking an antidote pure,The night unfolds its mystic grace,In the haven of the bar, a tranquil space.“

“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.“

“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“

“On a eu crissement du plaisir !“

“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.“

“Stumbled on this place by accident. Was headed to the cigar lounge upstairs but was dressed a little too casual(athletic shoes)to enter. So on the way out the Pub is downstairs. Dropped in and wound up staying 2 hours. Friendly bar staff. Service was great. Plenty of beers on tap. Small in size but that adds to the feel of a neighborhood pub.“

“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.

“kyle was super nice to us..“

“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“

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

“La meilleure place pour un amazing week-end“

“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“

“Great time!!! Lots of fun too“

“Super terasse, un bijous bien cachee“

“Exactly the place I was looking for to spend an evening with friends! We all had the tip-top burger — delicious! I highly recommend this plate. I also opted for the half salad/half fries option, and it was perfect that way! My lavender mocktail was a 10/10!

*Small downside: the music was a little loud, but that is often the case for this type of establishment.
*The high chair stools are quite small and without backs, so not very comfortable for a long meal. Also, there are heating grills above the tables, and the hot air was quite intense, which made us change places.

I therefore recommend tables at the front of the restaurant, with classic chairs and without a ventilation grill just above.“

“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.“

“love that place Dom is awesome“

“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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Aucun membre du staff ne porte son masque. Le gérant semble ne pas s'en soucier comme si le monde de la restauration/bar n'avait pas été assez affecté par la pandémie...“

“Once upon a time, in a remote corner of Plateau Mont-Royal, there was a mysterious bar called **Chez Baptiste**. Local residents whispered that this bar had magical powers. Not powers to turn water into wine, but rather powers to turn boring conversations into absurd jokes.One evening, a customer entered the bar. He wore a banana hat and matching socks. Baptiste, the bartender, greeted him with an enigmatic smile. “Welcome home, dear friend! What can I serve you?”The customer sat on a stool shaped like a unicorn. "I want a beer, but not just any beer. I want a beer that makes me laugh."Baptiste raised an eyebrow. "A beer that makes you laugh? Well, we have a new creation: 'Gag Beer'! It is brewed with bursts of laughter and joke bubbles."The customer laughs. "Perfect! I'll take it."Baptiste poured the beer into a glass shaped like a sad clown. The customer raised it to his lips and took a sip. Suddenly he burst out laughing. "Hahaha! Why did the beer cross the street? To get to the Chez Baptiste bar, of course!"Baptiste applauds. "Congratulations! You've unlocked the first level of our secret word game. But be careful, every sip brings you closer to an even more absurd joke!"The customer looked around. The bar was decorated with paintings of cats playing poker and garden gnomes dancing salsa. “Tell me, Baptiste, why is this bar called ‘Chez Baptiste’?”Baptiste leaned towards him. "Ah, my friend, that's because I'm the last descendant of an ancient line of bartender magicians. My grandfather could make peanuts appear in customers' ears and my great-great-uncle had a broom that also served as a microphone for karaoke."The customer blinked. "Really? And what are your magical powers?"Baptiste smiles. “I can turn bills into confetti and empty glasses into miniature unicorns. But shush, it’s our little secret!”And so, in this wacky bar in the Plateau Mont-Royal, laughter burst out, glasses were emptied and customers wondered if they had entered a parallel world. At Baptiste's, we came for the beer, but we stayed for the riddles, the unicorns and the jokes that defied all logic.---If you decide to visit **Chez Baptiste**, beware of the peanuts in your ears and prepare to laugh until you lose your mind! ???“

“Pub John Michaels is a gem! I recently visited and had an amazing experience. The food was top-notch; everything was fresh and delicious. I particularly enjoyed the burger, which was juicy and packed with flavor. The service was also excellent staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed.“

“Excellent accueil , service rapide j’adore cet endroit“

“The atmosphere is absolutely 10/10. A super nice place to have guns with friends. The music is not too loud (big bonus we hear).

The beer is good and original.

I was there during a quiz night by chance and we really had fun.

The tartare was good. The ingredients are fresh.
