McKibbin’s Irish Pub

Pub irlandais où on sert de la bière de pub et où on mange des plats de pub.
J’ai pris une soupe à l’oignon et je l’ai trouvé assez bonne, il manquait juste un petit gratiné plus long sur le dessus mais dans l’ensemble du plat j’étais bien satisfait !
On peut y voir des matchs de sport.
Avec l’offre sur St Laurent ca né sera pas mon choix #1 si je suis dans le coin dans le futur, sans plus pour moi

Favorite sea food chowder in the city

Excellent service. Absolutely love the staff. Ended up having the firecracker burger and it was amazing!!!

Great place! We randomly found this place and the atmosphere is great as well as the drinks and the bartenders are very friendly.

Je vais à ce pub assez souvent depuis des années mais ce dimanche midi j’ai mangé le plus horrible Fish and Chip que j’ai mangé dans ma vie. Vraiment mauvais mal cuit, vraiment trop gras (le gras coulait du morceau de poisson) dommage mais ça va prendre du temps avant que j’y retourne. Ce que j’ai trouvé encore plus dommage, c’est que j’ai signalé au serveur mais il s’en est fiché totalement.

Le service a été long et nous avons eu l’impression d’embêter la serveuse quand on voulait commander à boire ou à manger. Aucun conseil relatif au bière que ce pub propose. Par contre, la nourriture et les bières étaient de très bons gout.

McKibbin’s is a pretty cool spot. It’s comfortable inside, finding a table was easy enough (we had to seat ourselves), and there was a live band with goofy people dancing so it made for great people-​watching. The ambiance is exactly what you’d expect from an Irish pub.
The food was not what you would expect, but a friend said «that’s what you get for eating at an Irish pub when you visit Montréal!» They use the traditional chips you find in poutine in Montréal, which is not what we’re used to otherwise, and the fish was just OK. Not bad, but nothing special.
I had an order of the curry poutine that I really enjoyed, but felt it was a bit too heavy on the curry. The service was fast and our servers were all very nice.

I just simply love this place.
I love their ciders and sweet potatoes.
Best burger is the Bison!!! You should try it!
If you like Irish pubs it’s your place.

We went there, standing at the entrance for about 5 minutes, looking both side for somebody who may lead us a seat. Unfortunately It was nobody who seems to care about new customers, then we just walked out, that’s it.

McKibbin’s is one of my favorite bar: simple, good location, good alcohol, live music, and chill. Everything you need. If you also want to go dance, you can, they have an area for it! The music is usually old rock, oldies but goldies which are also my favorite kind. It’s nice to go back in time, and listen to music that actually makes sense. Live music is everyday by different bands, or individuals. But I’d suggest you’d go either Thursday, Friday, Saturday as it’s more crowded, is way more fun, and the bands are usually better as well.
It’s nice for a group chilling, or even with a friend, just go there enjoy a beer and music! I personally just hope to go there one year in St. Patrick’s day! Heared it gets crazy busy but should be so much fun!

I stopped in here for a quick bite to eat and a drink while I was staying in Montréal for business. The Grand Prix festival was going on, but it wasn’t that crowded. The bartender was excellent and friendly and my food came out hot and fast. They had a nice menu and fairly reasonable prices. Try the fried pickles!

After a couple of drinks at a friend’s place, enough to slightly slur words coming out of our mouths, we headed to McKibs. I can’t say much about the beers as they are what they are but the ambience was nice. The lights were dim and the live music was awesome. Since it was my friend’s birthday we asked for the band if they could sing for her and so they did. More than half of our group were dancing in front of the band while they were strumming their guitar. No, there weren’t any dance floors. Did we block the way leading to the bathroom? Yes. Did they kick us out? Nope. Were people watching us? Totally. But more importantly, did we have a good time? Absolutely.

De la bonne bouffe de pub! Savoureux, roboratif, tous les adjectifs évoquant le réconfort siéront à la cuisine «mckibbinoise». Au moment d’écrire ces lignes, je fantasme sur ce burger à la au cheddar à la Guinness. Jamais je n’aurais cru qu’autant d’umami à la fois puisse exister. Les frites sont bonnes, les sauces, aaahhh!!! Et la soupe de poireaux? J’adore! Et Dieu sait que je cuisine le meilleur potage à l’allium porrum du ghetto McGill! Alors…
Petit bémol (ou méga dièse, il en va de votre «épiderme linguistique»): le site n’est pas en français.

Ambiance sympa dans ce pub Irlande surtout lorsque les beaux jours arrivent et que les tables sont de sortie sur le trottoir. Les prix sont corrects niveau boissons et nourriture. J’ai testé leur «Bison Burger» et c’était plutôt bon accompagné d’une bière, très sympa !

Nachos were microwaved & lacked promised bacon. Atmosphere was nice and lots of TVs. Descent beer selection with plenty of attentive staff.

I was there to challenge the «The Rim Reaper» chicken wings. It is so spicy that if you manage to finish 12 of them, your name is honoured on their wall of fame.
I am the type of person who eats spicy food for the majority of my meals. And prior to McKibbin, I have eaten chicken wings deep fried by hot pepper oil. Yet I was only able to eat a really tiny bite. (smaller than a Skittle bean) Then I began to tear and drank 2 large glasses of ice water.
It was terrible experience. I strongly advice that people do not attempt it. (and you have to order either 6 or 12, most people cant even finish 1)
Then I had their Bangers and Mash. It is onion rings sit on the top of bacon, 3 sausages and gravied mashed potatoes. It was the best onion rings I have had in my life. It was so crispy and it melts in mouth.
Lastly, I had the Fisherman’s Seafood Chowder, mainly because I wanted some soup to neutralize the spicy chicken in my stomach. The chowder was too sour so I only had a few spoons. For that reason I didnt give 5 star. Everything else was amazing.

This place is awesome. some drinks some awesome food and trivia night. Over all an amazing experience this place is awesome.

Overpriced beer, but lively crowd. One of the few places in the area that often has a live band. The place gets packed so get there early.

Jamie makes cat masks, and pours a nice pint. If she isn’t there all bets are off. Caroline was not impressed.

the live music is great. the beer is cheap and serviceable. service is good. and that’s pretty much it.
it gets really crowded and extremely loud which makes talking pointless as you’re better off texting each other or hand signal.
walking around is not easy too as you’d bump into people which is not fun at all.
we didn’t stayed long though as we just bar hopped the night away with our soon to be married groom. definitely not the best irish pub

I’ve had mixed experiences at the different McKibbin’s around Montréal, so I felt like it might have been a gamble to show up here the other night after having to pass on an overcrowded Ye Olde Orchard.
Fortunately, we had a great time and largely thanks to the staff.
The place was packed when we got in, but a bus boy managed to wrangle us up a table out of thin air. Our waitress was very prompt and courteous, despite the place being so busy. The food was excellent and the band that night was good and got everybody at the table singing along.

J’y suis allé pour écouter une game de hockey, il y a plusieurs écrans qui permettent de bien voir peu importe où on est placé. Les pintes sont 2 $ moins chères durant le 5 à 7, il y a un «concours» durant lequel on peut gagner des shots gratuits si le joueur sélectionné durant la game score (alcool gratuit = win) et un tirage d’un certificat cadeau après. Gros gros gros bravo pour le burger au bison qui était VRAIMENT bon. On était un pas pire groupe (entre 6 et 10 tout dépendant de l’heure), on a reçu un super service de la première serveuse, un service correct de la part de celle qui est arrivée à 19h (on aurait aimé la voir plus souvent) et un bon service du busboy qui était ben patient avec nos commentaires ridicules de filles soules.
La sélection de bières est impressionnante, la bouffe est bonne et l’ambiance et assez cool, j’y retournerai!

J’aime les choix de bières et la bouffe, l’ambiance! J’adore les burgers et les plats typiques irish. Quelques soirs y a un band qui joue et les lundis on joue au Trivia! Le décor est rustique, mais les toilettes des femmes sont au 2e etage? Pourquoi?

Ambiance de malade mentale… surtout pour la St-Pat…allez-y vous allez vous y amuser. Le band est super

I was a little shocked when I first saw this location of McKibbins open. As a Concordia alumni, it just didn’t seem right to have a location on St Laurent. But I have since warmed up to it, and discovered its actually pretty nice to have an Irish pub to duck into on a weeknight when I want to meet up with some friends for a pint and some grub. As others have mentioned, the staff are great, friendly and relaxed, and best of all helpful! Not sure what you feel like? Ask!

We had a GREAT time here with the cute, young bartender, who had an Irish brogue and was from Ireland (so don’t believe what you read in all the reviews). He poured wonderfully strong Irish Coffees and we enjoyed gabbing with other travelers on the outside porch.
By the way, the outside «porch» has only three 2-​person tables. There is fun to be had inside however. Staff is very friendly and knows lots about Montréal. Hubby and his buddy enjoyed some local brews.

This was one of the first pubs I stopped at during my short jaunt to Montréal. Just came in to have a couple beers with my little sister (who just turned 21 even though it doesn’t matter in Canada since the drinking age there is 18, but I digress…).
Very chill place, lots of regulars seemed to be there on a Friday afternoon. I would imagine it gets crowded on the weekends as most pubs do Service was friendly and it was good times!

Pas mal… ambiance typique de pub sportif avec écrans géants. Dimanche soir, ils avaient un «happy hour» toute la soirée et j’en ai profité pour boire une pinte de «stout» en fût (ils ont trois choix: Guinness, Murphy’s et McAuslan) accompagnée d’ailes de poulet piquantes (pas tant que ça). Les ailes sont de format très généreux.
Un musicien jouait de la musique irlandaise dans un coin et la soirée fût agréable. Rien de bien exceptionnel, mais agréable.

This McKibbin’s is a relatively new offshoot of the classic joint over near Concordia University where one may or may not have spent some crazy ladies nights and St Patrick’s Days and made some fun but questionable decisions back in the day. It’s nice to have this option in the area around St Laurent and Prince Arthur. There are big comfy booths, lots of rooms to sit at the bar, not overly bright, very friendly and professional staff and frequent Irish music circles in the back booth. The food is reasonably fine pub fare. This place would no doubt be better if it had sat there aging gracefully for a hundred years, but we’re in the new world, someone’s gotta open a new pub every once in a while. I’m sure it’ll gain it’s soul eventually, and probably the hard way like the rest of us.
