McKibbin’s Irish Pub

Very nice food. Good to hand out with friend. Next Friday who wants go together lol.

I had a decent meal here with a friend before heading to the Bell Centre for a concert. To be honest, I was a little hungover from the night before (it was a long week), so I wasn’t 100% in the mood for beer and pub grub, but it certainly hit the spot. It’s a fairly open layout, although there’s a secluded area near the back that has a few tables, including a couple stools next to an opening in the wall at the far end of the bar. My friend and I chose to sit there, as it allowed us to sort of separate from the crowd, but still get quick bar service. We started with nachos and then dove into some fish & chips, both of which were very good. The beer menu won’t blow your mind, but it’s fairly large. Not the greatest Irish pub ever, but it’s worth a few visits… I may even try my luck here on St. Patty’s Day!

Mckibbins Irish Pub is flat out a great establishment. Every time I am in Montréal I walk a mile down St. Catherines in any weather condition to come here. The food has always been great (the greatest meal on the planet Bangers & Mash, Titanic Burger, Shepherd’s Pie, Fish & Chips) and the beer is always flowing right. The ambience itself is wonderfully inviting and true to the Irish. The wait staff is always friendly and on the ball. Not to mention gorgeous! Some of Montréal’s finest work here. Especially Alycia. You will know her when you see her. So sweet too. (Whatever they are paying them, they should earn more. They deserve it.) The music playing has always been good as well and not too loud. You can hold a conversation without having to scream. I suggest giving the Titanic Burger a try. It really is one of the greatest burgers ever. Just make sure they give you a bun with good coverage or you’ll be eating around it to cut it down before diving in. Anyways, I love this joint at it appears the most people who eat here regularly do as well. It’s too bad for me that my work here has become seasonal and I don’t get to come here more often.

We were in the neighbourhood and wanted some burger. The burger and fries are just like any pub burger and fries.
We saw the really really spicy chicken wings on the menu and decided to try them. OMFG, they were so spicy, I couldn’t even talk after just one bite. Same goes for my friends. It was a unforgettable experience for sure.
However, I still won’t consider going back to there. Food wasn’t good, simple as that.

Ma cantine par excellence! le burger McKibbins Deluxe est surement le meilleur burger que j’ai pu manger à Montréal et la poutine au cari est délicieuse! Il y a toujours une super ambiance, on se sent comme chez soi. Accompagnée d’une bonne bière, les happy hour du dimanche valent le coup pour continuer à profiter de la vie même a la fin du week end :)

Un petit irish pub parfait pour écouter une partie des canadiens ! Ils ont un jeu très plaisant, ta table porte le nom d’un des joueures du CH et si ce joueure compte le bar paye ta tournée de shooter !
Belle place de party !!

Make sure you try amber beer in this irish bar, if you go there. Burger and wings were good too.

A lot of people everyday though and the staff is very warm and polite lots of Concordia students there the drinks are good and not expensive at all food is great please come and don’t be shy!

This place was my hang out bar during my vacation in Montréal. The waitresses and bar staff are super friendly. The location is awesome too; short walk from the metro/​subway. The food is typical pub fare, but it is actually pretty good. And one night, after i had spent a bit, the house bought my table a round of Jameson shots. Pretty cool :) good selection of beers too, ranging from Canadian to French. Live music some nights and they will turn on your fave sporting event if you ask nicely :) cool place!

Bar tender Tim was a sage amongst bar tenders. Being new to the city. He set us on a course of fun an success. Even drawing a map of where to go and have a great time. Lots of beers we don’t have in the states in a comfy Irish bar. Will be back for Montréal metal fest

I wasn’t expecting a pub-​crawl on my visit to Montréal, haven’t done that in years but somehow that is what naturally occurred on my Memorial weekend excursion to the city. McKibbins is not located in the trendy Crescent St area but on the somewhat quieter Rue Bishop. The warmth of the wood paneled interior is inviting and immediately you feel comfortable in this well appointed, pub decorated space. I noticed 1664 Whit on tap, a French wheat beer seldom seen in many pubs. I ordered it post haste and thoroughly enjoyed my rare find, you certainly don’t see it in the States that often for sure. My beer was followed by a Bison burger, Pub «Chip Fries» and salad, I was more than satisfied with the over all quality and flavor, it arrived quickly even though it was busy due to a soccer match that evening. The food, service and overall experience was above average, translation, I will no doubt revisit McKibbin’s on future Montréal pup-​crawls!

I love their pub food. The cheddar sticks with the spicy mayo are great. The celtic rolls has that sweet sauce that mixes really well with the spicy curry. I really like their twist for the poutine with the curry sauce. The prices are good and the drinks are great. It’s a fun place to catch up with buddies from class at Concordia.

Gord and I had supper last night at McKibbin’s Irish Pub. It’s a cute spot.
Gord ordered the Belfast Chicken Wings with no sauce. The wings were HUGE and they were delicious (I had one).
I had Creamy Bushmill’s Whiskey Chicken and it too was delicious. I’d get it and the wings again.
When we were leaving, a singer was just starting.
The sign on the door could be a bad influence on Gord … «Beer: So much more than just a breakfast drink.» Allison was our server and she took good care of us.

I went here with my friend between classes in search of a small bar food-​like snack and wasn’t disappointed. There is a long list of appetizers available, I chose the Celtic rolls and some cider. I didn’t expect the cider to come in a pint glass full to the brim but it was pretty fantastic… Long live the Irish! The Celtic rolls had some pretty intense curry flavour in them but along with the cider to wash it down it was a good snack. My friend had the onion soup and said it could have used more cheese but all in all it was good. The environment is pretty chill with cute round tables to sit at and plenty things hung on the wall to look at and the staff is really nice, it is for sure more busy in the evening/​night but perfect for an afternoon break :)

I come here quite often due to it’s proximity to Concordia. It turns out that it’s an extremely popular place to grab a drink after class with friends.
They have a charming extended patio in the back that is open in the summer. Other than that the bar is three levels, with the main level being the best area to hang out in. Quite frequently there’s a singer or band playing music on the stage in front of the bar.
Typical bar food, typical bar prices, typical bar service. 9 $ for a pint, a good selection of beers on tap. The bison burger and Irish stew is good, but my favourites are the yam fries and nachos which both come in huge portions.
Overall nothing to write home about but a decent place to hang out in.

Awesome place. Except the Rim Reaper will hunt you down.
Tasty food. I enjoy it everytime. Nice environment.

The servers and the bartenders are great!
The beers are nice and cold (this is one of my favourite places for beers).
I have tried several main dishes on the menu and most of them are from good to excellent — the appetizers are excellent. The portion is usually very generous.
The only down side (as the result of their own success), It can be quite crowded and noisy sometimes. So be prepared to talk LOUD to be heard.

Walked in and it seemed kinda crowded but we waited to be seated. Guy walked by and said find a seat wherever you can.
We looked around and there weren’t any. It was raining outside so we couldnt sit. There was one table with an umbrella so we asked a waitress walking by if there were any other available. She rudely dismissed us with «we have like one other one I think but I have no idea where it is.» she kept walking right by us. Rude as could be.
We stood in the middle of the joint for a few minutes to see if anyone was moving. Awkwardly… And then decided to leave. No one wanted to help or to tell us if there was anything available or how long we’d be waiting so… They don’t get our money. Simple.

McKibbins has, in my opinion, the best veggie burgers in the city. The fries used to be pretty fantastic as well, but either a change in the kitchen or a change in the product has left them only about average. Thankfully, they still have malt vinegar.
Drinks tends to be a little more expensive than some other places on crescent street.
Don’t ever waste your time with the apple pie, i have had it 3 times and each time it was dry, and luke warm.

I’m not usually one for pubs, but if I were, it’s safe to say that McKibbin’s would be my spot.
Live music, lots of beer and classic pub fare, it’s actually a pretty fun time if you’re not jammed in there trying to get a table.
The food is good, the beer is good, the atmosphere is good. Really, it’s an all around good vibe, and that’s (you guessed it) good.

J’y suis allé un samedi soir à partir de 21h. Quelques caractéristiques :
— Typique pub irlandais
— Musique celtique
— Hockey (TV)
— Service en français
— Service sympa
— Bien rempli vers 22h

It’s a mid-​range priced place to grab a beer. Food is good for the mostpart. Brought a boyfriend here once since I had a 2 for 1 coupon and he wanted to try the RIMREAPER challenge. Long story short, I got dinner and a show. Wiki the wings before you try them, they’re brutal.
Food: ⁸⁄₁₀ — good but salty
Service: ⁷⁄₁₀ — nothing special
Price: ⁶⁄₁₀ — I’m cheap…
Atmosphere: ⁹⁄₁₀

Before my bf and I left for Toronto, we wanted to sit out on a patio, or as they call it here, Le Terrace. Since we did not know the area, we stopped at the first pub we came across. For a hot, sunny, Sunday, this place was very quiet. Where were all the people? (If we had just walked a bit further on the street, and turned left, we would have seen all the people on better and snazzier patios… boo).
Not a problem. The food here was very yummy and good. The menu’s are very cute as it’s the form of an old newspaper that has cool facts about The Titanic (did you know that the ship was the first ever to have an indoor pool?)
My bf decided to order their Sheppard’s Pie, which is one of the restaurants signature dishes. Very yummy, rich and filling. I decided to order their Main Salad with Chicken, which was also very good. Something light amidst the Beer-​drenched wings we ordered for apps.
Overall, a great place to stop by for a quick drink. Service was quick and efficient.

Le McKibbin’s Irish Pub est spécial pour moi. Situé à un coin de rue de mon boulot, il arrive régulièrement que j’y fasse un tour en finissant de travailler.
Parlons tout d’abord du bâtiment. À lui seul, il vaut le détour. À sa vue, nous né pouvons qu’être charmés. Une magnifique maison traditionnelle que l’on imagine sans peine dans un petit village Irlandais.
Le sous-​sol est utilisé en tant que restaurant, qui vaut aussi le détour, particulièrement pour leur fameux Fish & Chips. C’est cependant l’étage principal qui nous intéresse. En passant la première porte un écriteau nous accueille en nous signalant que la bière est tellement plus qu’un déjeuner. On passé une seconde porte et on entre dans le bar.
Quel endroit magnifique. Tout en bois avec des citations et des plaques de l’Irlande, quelques publicités de bières, Irlandaise, il va sans dire, mais surtout la phénoménale quantité d’alcools, pour tous les goûts, derrière le bar. Les serveuses sont sympathiques, les prix plus que raisonnables et l’ambiance magique. Après deux minutes, le sentiment de dépaysement est complet. Ce n’est plus qu’un bar à Montréal, c’est un voyage en Irlande.
En vérifiant leur site web, vous pouvez choisir vos heures de visites en fonction de la présence de musiciens. Il va sans dire que c’est une excellente idée de planifier ainsi sa visite. Je n’ai jamais écouté de mauvais musicien sur place et ceux-​ci nous abreuvent de chansons rock traditionnelles brassées à la sauce Irlandaise.
Je né sais que dire de plus. Ce Pub est unique et il vaut la peine d’être visité dans les meilleures conditions possibles au moins une fois.

Ah ! La bière irlandaise ! Ah ! La bouffe irlandaise ! Le charme de ce pays qui me semble si sympathique et où je me verrais bien faire les 400 coups dans ses mille et un pubs la nuit et admirer ses vertes contrées le jour. Le McKibbin’s est un autre de ces nombreux pubs irlandais que nous avons la chance d’avoir à Montréal. Je me sens toujours bien dans un pub irlandais. Celui-​ci a une (petite) terrasse à l’arrière et on y est serrés, comme dans tous les pubs irlandais. Il y a un bon choix de bière, mais ma préférence va bien sûr à la Guinness et la Kilkenny, deux classiques pour moi. Les burgers sont excellents et les amateurs de fish & chips (j’en suis) né seront pas déçus. Le personnel est très sympathique, nous avons bien rigolé avec la serveuse et le service a été rapide et courtois.

J’ai rarement été dans un pub irlandais que je n’ai pas aimé, et celui du McKibbin’s n’est pas une exception à la règle. Tous les éléments nécessaires pour une bonne soirée sont réunis: les pichets de bières sont partagés entre amis (chacun paie sa ronde, non?), la nourriture typiquement anglaise nous réchauffe jusqu’aux orteils même lors des journées les plus froides de l’hiver et l’ambiance est chaleureuse avec un éclairage tamisé qui rend tout le monde beau. C’est très serré par moment, donc si vous n’aimez pas vous coller les épaules avec votre voisin, ça n’est probablement pas le meilleur endroit pour vous. Autrement, c’est l’excuse parfaite pour une bonne jasette et qui sait, rencontrer quelqu’un d’adorable?

Ce pub irlandais de la rue Bishop est tout simplement irrésistible. D’abord, même si on y est un peu à l’étroit à cause la popularité de l’endroit, l’ambiance a un je-​né-​sais-​quoi de magique, qui tient peut-​être de quelque farfadet irlandais invisible surplombant le pub. Plus sérieusement, outré la promiscuité qui y règne, les murs sont tapissés de décorations rappelant l’Irlande, la lumière y est tamisée et on y mange et y boit très bien. Les principales bières irlandaises présentes sur le marché québécois sont offertes, notamment la traditionnelle Guinness, la Harp et la Kilkenny. Au niveau culinaire, c’est un menu de pub qu’on offre et la nourriture est à la hauteur des attentes. Elle est simple et savoureuse, du moins pour ce qui est des plats de spécialité. Les Celtic Rolls et le Fish and chips irlandais du Pub en valent vraiment la peine. Cependant, j’ai regretté avoir opté pour le hamburger lors de ma dernière visite: non pas qu’il n’était pas bon, mais il n’avait rien de plus que celui qu’on sert dans à peu près n’importe quel fast-​food à prix moindre.
