Today was a perfect day, somehow cloudy with intermittent rain, perfect for a lunch in an Irish pub with its warm wood paneling. I admit, I haven't been there for a long time and I was pleased to note that the place has retained all of its charm. I went there with a friend in order to greet St-Patrick's Day weekend with a fish&chip and a couple of pints (impeccable bathroom, by the way). I really liked the uplifting atmosphere, the animation of the customers, the very pleasant service and the quality of the live band. We were not disappointed, the portions were generous, and we really had a great time. ?
Good nachos friendly service
best Irish pub in Montreal and that's saying something as there are many great ones. coziest atmosphere, great staff, great food..the real deal. slainte!
The wife an I went there for the performance by Solstice. They started much later than scheduled, but so glad we waited. They totally blew us away. Very friendly and accommodating waitstaff enhanced or experience. Overall a great night! I had a couple of pints of Murphy's stout, though I wanted only one, just to hang out longer. She never has more than one drink, but she had a second sangria too.
we went for an evening of music on Friday night. our waiter was efficient and pleasant. we arrived early enough to get a good seat in the music room Solstice was playing that night. they are a duo, flute and guitar/vocals. the flautist, Dave Gossage, is a fixture on the acoustic music scene and a fine musician. his partner, who was never introduced, isn't very Irish, plays competently but without any particular liveliness or flavour, and sings without Irish soul. Dave deserves better accompaniment.
Great food big portions…we enjoyed the food, atmosphere… drinks yep we’re in the area I will be back!!! Thank you!

Great place for a pint and a bite to eat
Disgusting, rude and appalling!!!A supposed fun night out with friends turned out be a nightmare.On a busy Thursday night in Montreal city, a waiter and his manager manage to disgust a client to a level where the client just leaves the restaurant feeling disrespected and extremely frustrated.Staff shortage at this establishment seems to force the waiter to work many tables at the same time. I feel for this waiter, the place is understaffed and it’s a busy night. But this does not justify his aggressive attitude, poor demeanor and overall lack of respect to the clientele. As I was raising my hand to signal the waiter that I was ready to make my order (15-20 mins of waiting on him) he shouted with the most sarcastic of tones: “I see you! That’s very annoying what you’re doing!” I did not hear him correctly as I didn’t expect that from him, my friends repeated to me what he said. I asked him when he approached: did you say that’s annoying? He replied with all the smugness in the world Yes. Aghast at this lack of hospitality I told him thank you for your time, I will not be ordering tonight. This made me feel very disappointed, and embarrassed in front of my friends.I asked for the manager, I instead got the “bald guy behind the bar” who did not listen to my side of the story and aggressively discredited my version of the story which is the dumbest thing to do as I was genuinely trying to give constructive criticism to help the restaurant self improve not to attack a waiter whom I know is having a rough night. I did not receive an apology but rather “leave we don’t care if you’re not enjoying your night here”. He assumed that I was the person out of line in the situation and didn’t offer to remedy the problem. Very poor managerial and communication skills.The understaffing is not my problem, so please advise your bar manager to become more friendlier and accommodating to customers needs and wants. Also please hire more waiters to accommodate the increasing number of patrons.Never have I ever experienced such a bad dining experience in my life.
Disgusting, rude and appalling!!!
