Great vibes, excellent beer, and delicious food! This is an amazing spot to hang out after work and chill out.

I ordered shout island drink no alcohol in it!! And the burger bison deluxe, the mushrooms and onion were dripping oil from it. Mckibbins used to be nice place but the quality is now far below average

Please do not choose The chef salad on the special menu That item should be removed from the menu even my colleagues could not believe that was served! a loaf of bread hard as a rock , should have been flatbread which was not ! shredded Romain and a few shrimps with ranch bottled dressing When I asked about the bread, they said this is our flatbread. I wish I should’ve taken a picture. Service was great, but honestly, that dish is the worst salad I’ve ever had in my life time not worth $$

The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a beautiful blend of rustic charm and contemporary touches. The staff here are not just attentive, but genuinely friendly, adding to the welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The food and drinks are top-notch, with a great selection of classic Irish dishes and perfectly poured pints. Whether you're stopping by for a quick drink or settling in for a hearty meal, McKinnon Irish Pub offers a delightful experience that’s hard to beat. The combination of excellent service, delicious food, and a cozy setting makes this pub a true gem.

Not a bad pub! I used to come here more often but I haven't in awhile. Today I sat on the patio. They usually have live music on certain days where people come up and sing. Nothing to complain about.

Very charming bar. Good service. Good nachos, onion rings and club sandwich. The spicy margarita is delightfully spicy and 12$.

I ordered the homemade Irish stew. I really hated it. Maybe it's just not to my tastes, but it was not what I was expecting at all. I've had the Irish stew at Ye Olde Orchard and it's amazing, I've even posted about it before. Theirs was creamy and had a rich savory flavor of Guinness. By contrast this Irish stew at McKibbins was very tangy and sour, almost like there was vinegar in it. It made it taste like the soup was rotten or spoiled. I tried tasting individual pieces (carrot, potato, meat) to see if there was something I could avoid, but everything was saturated with it, especially the meat. The only thing that tasted good to me was the dollop of mashed potatoes on top and the bun that came with it. The bun was very moist and delicious with a subtle sweet flavor. It was a shame because it was pretty expensive, $23 before tip and I had to throw out the rest because I just couldn't finish it. Perhaps this type of Irish stew is more authentic and I just made a regrettable decision for my taste buds. I just wanted to warn others if they were similarly expecting something akin to Ye Olde Orchard. I will say that the pub had a nice atmosphere and the staff seemed very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Maybe they have other things that would appeal to my palate. The decor was charming, with a little matching door for "leprechauns".

The Bushmill's Whiskey Chicken was not worth more than $2 and certainly not the $28 it is. The chicken meat was dry and tough, the tiniest of portion of both chicken and mashed potatoes, mostly was sauce which was over salt, however the topping of onion wings was good. The best part of what I ordered was the Salad Greens which was not bad and certainly a lot better than the chicken.

I rarely write negative reviews, but I was quite disappointed here. The food and service were certainly OK, but the quality of the food has gone way downhill (Ive been coming here for literally decades but hadnt been back in almost 10 years). Furthermore, the prices are now extremely high. $200 for 2 ppl with 2 appetizers, one meal and a few drinks. Not worth it anymore in my opinion.

Overatted food, awful service from a Hollie who couldnt understand the difference between a old fashioned and a whiskey sour and you work the bar.. Right. This inexcusable for a proper bar. Also then proceeded to get attutude from her when I tipped 15%. Never going back this place is a joke compared to downtown locations.

This place should be ashamed of serving Guinness. The pour was horrible, the head was bubbly and not filled to the brim. Compared to the other locations the food was not on the same level. Frozen patties and small portions of fries. Talking to the manager he said that there was no issue and the burger was fresh but he lied.

I used to love this place, but the food quality has decreased immensely. The fries are ugh, even the St Ambroise New England IPA is different and not in a good way. I had the French Onion soup and it was luke warm. On the flip side, the waitress was outstanding. However I won t be going back anytime soon.

Tried the Pub after many years and its was good. My wife ordered the soup Very Hot and she says it was really good. I ordered the Shepherds Pie and it was a little too wet but still OK. Came with nice salad so overall the meal was very good and great value for the price. Drinks were also lower price for 4 a 7. Overall a good experience and seemed like a lot of regulars there enjoying them selves. A little run down and old looking as only complaint. Waitress was very good too.

I absolutely hate this place, way too loud and impossible to have conversations. Also, the crowd is full of creepy guys and preppy girls. Though, the sausage and mash potatoes were absolutely amazing! I really hate this place but my friends force me to come. HELP ME OUT OF HERE! I d much rather go in a nice bar in Montreal where i can at least hold a conversation without screaming like a deaf person.

Quite an interesting place. McKibbins Pub in Montreal leaves a warm impression with its comfort and atmosphere of a real Irish pub. The menu is rich in traditional dishes and a variety of beers that delight both connoisseurs and beginners. Service is excellent: the staff is attentive and friendly. McKibbins is the perfect place to meet friends or spend an evening alone with a beer.
