Review from Kevin M.
A great Irish pub located in the heart of the downtown core, Irish Embassy does a great job at getting away from your typical pub food.
Here on the menu you can find specials like: fried chicken and waffles, beer can chicken, fish and chips, and corned beef sandwich.
Try the corned beef sandwich!
They have a vast selection of beers on tap, pour an okay pint of Guiness and are a great place to catch a Canadiens game, or just grab some drinks and dinner before the game.
On Canadiens game nights, you will find the Team 990 crew doing a live pre and post game feed. And as hard as it may believe because of the size and amount of seats - it does goes filled up fairly quickly on game nights. -

There is nothing really special about this place. It's an Irish pub that has French speaking channels in their TV lol.
The beer selection is decent but the food is nothing to rave about. I would recommend this place for watching the Canadians games on TVs.
I would not come back here if I had a choice. -

The secret to this pub is the food. Sure, it's a typical packed Crescent street bar on weeknights - making dinnertime ambiance a bit of a challenge, but go for lunch - even a late one - and take a look at the little sheet tucked into the menu. Order something other than a burger and you may be quite delightfully surprised at the quality of what you get.
For example: On my last visit that little sheet had Fried Chicken and Waffles! I have never seen it anywhere other than Los Angeles and the South, so to see it here in a Montreal pub intrigued me. I ordered and it was right on. Delicious fried chicken with buttermilk waffles and a stunning, home made cayenne maple syrup packed with layers of complexity that makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
Now, chicken and waffles may not be your thing but on this occasion something happened that sold me on the place:
I was seated at the bar and a "new" bartender showed up. He sort of washed a dish and looked a little lost - but kept trying to gauge me. I struck up a conversation with him (to his relief I think) and he asked what I thought of the dish.
I told him how much I liked it and that I had other things there in the past - impressed that the menu varied with neat new local items to try and that they were always tasty!
"Who is the chef?" I said.
"uh, me.."
I shook his hand and told him how much I loved coming there. But man, an honest to goodness real chef that cares enough to stealth out a reaction to new dish - that impressed the hell out of me. This guy cares and I hope he keeps doing what he's doing! -

I love real Irish pubs. This place is not an Irish pub. We entered on a Tuesday evening to 80's music playing loudly. We didn't stay for long as we sat for about 5 mins without a glance from the waitstaff as the over tanned pastel shirt wearing crowd were given jäger bombs by the truck load. We promptly left and will not return. If you want a good pub many exist in the city.

It was friday night and a group of us were visiting Montreal. Didn't really want to do any hardcore partying downtown so decided to seek beer and something low key.
Irish Embassy is your normal pub-like establishment that just puts you in the mood to drink beer and pick on some wings. Nothing special about the the food or beer selection here. Busy, seat yourself type atmosphere thats a little noisy, but that's to be expected on a friday night.
Bottom line: Comfortable, dim, noisy and fun. We left buzzed and happy. -

I thoroughly enjoy Irish Embassy, the ambiance is great and the whiskey choice is excellent. The food is good pub fare and the service is good too!
I have been here with large 25+ people groups and with a couple friends and we are never disappointed...great live music and great fun until the wee hours of the morning! -

Hit or miss. The Fish n' chips are consistently good, generally go there for my cheap quick craving filler. Typical pub food. The fries are tasty, pretty sure it's because they fry them in the same oil as the fish, although I did have a few bad batches, but good overall. As I said, hit or miss, your recollection will depend on how many pints you have and how many shots are offered to you. I will go back.

Dear Irish Embassy owners, today I had the displeasure of eating at your establishment, often cited as "the better Irish pub" in Montreal. On the lunch special was a Bolognese Mac n' Cheese, one Béchamel sauce away from a Pastitsio. But you had me at Mac n' Cheese, easily the greatest comfort food of all time.
But seriously guys, how could you possibly FUCK UP a Mac n' Cheese? It was so HORRID; Kraft Dinner was fine dining compared this heaping lump of oily greasy pasta which I was served by the lovely and friendly Sarah. 2/3 of the way and I stopped eating because there's was a puddle of oil in my dish. There was no Bolognese sauce, just minced meat on top of pasta... and really mozzarella in Mac n' Cheese? SIGH. And then I had to pay 24$ for the dish, cola and tip.
You guys have an awesome location and some cool staff, but your food is lost in the mail. -

Great fish N Chip...Solid one! IT's a pub with waiting service, went there with the office for a 5-7 . Great atmosphere. I dig the Patio. Cute waitresses. Full bar and great variety. Not too expensive. moosehead was 5$ a pint : good deal for a decent beer.
Très bon Fish N Chip. Vraiment solide même. J'suis allé la avec la gang du bureau pour un 5 @7. Bonne atmosphère, pas trop chère et bon deal sur la Moosehead a 5$ la pinte qui est quand meme décente -

Stopped by for dinner one night and lunch one day.
Standard bar food but they have a large outdoor deck.
Decent prices. I stuck to a burger both times but no one I was with complained about their wings, sandwiches or anything else.
Good service. Just nothing to write home about...just yelp. -

Your typical Irish pub. I told ya, Montreal is filled with these places!
Came in on Sunday afternoon to quench our thirst after a few hours of shopping. The bar tender was friendly, and our drinks never ran dry.
If you're looking for a good brew and a chill place to have it, you won't be dissappointed. That's really all I can say! -

The Shaved Rib-Eye sandwich is a thumbs up. Good atmosphere if you don't mind drinking with a bunch of Habs fans.
