    This is the what I proper Irish pub should model itself after. It's a very laidback place with a friendly staff and solid Irish pub food.  The picky eater I was with loved her steak sandwich. They menu is well rounded with several hearty choices.

    The atmosphere was really chill with everyone seem to be in their own world enjoying themselves. Seating was at a premium since this place seemed to be packed early.  The had a band but the best part was when they brought out the traditional Irish Dancers. I think that's a nice touch that adds to the experience and goes above and beyond your regular day pub down the street.

    This is a good place if you want to chill if you are not into the nightclubs that are all around the area, but still want to have a good time.

     McKibbins, one of the 'big three' as Irish pubs goes but the one on 'The Main' is kinda different. My favourite spot in the place is the corner booth in the back. It is just tucked away enough to be a a great spot for eight people to get loud and sloppy drunk...which is what I do.

     So as far as McKibbins goes, i'll take the one on the main. The food is decent though I've never tried the 'remove your colon' wings but they have a respectable curry poutine and are the best place to get a black velvet for a few blocks...until Else's

    McKibbin's is a classic meet-up, hangout and good place for live music.

    It is an Irish pub, so I guess I need say no more about the beer. The food is hearty pub fare.

    In my opinion the live music and atmosphere is what sets this place apart. Great bands rock out on the tiny stage, and a lack of space between the tables does not keep folks from dancing!

    It gets quite busy here on weekends - you might not be able to snatch a seat if you come in late.

    Solid Irish food, although always served with a perfectly poured Guinness.  Very large selection of beers on tap, may be a little overwhelming for some.

    As for the Rim Reaper Wing Challenge, coming from someone who has conquered this challenge and sits on the "Wall of Flame", DO NOT TRY THIS!!!!!

    These wings are pure pain and will literally burn your skin if you leave it there long enough.  I have seen people sweat, cry, and cringe after a single wing (someone was recently carted away in an ambulance after passing out)!

    So if you REALLY want to do it and join the Wall, be my guest.  Just remember, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

    Ah, McKibbin's is alright.  It isn't exceptional by any stretch of the imagination, however.

    For St. Laurent, this was a breath of fresh air. Plenty of seating, no ridiculous cover and a great live band to top it off.
    After escaping the craziness of St. Laurent this traditional Irish Pub was warm and welcoming. The band was really good and kept us entertained the whole night. They have a full bar and plenty of delicious beers on tap which kept me coming back for more. The staff knew what they were doing and the security was friendly and not overly pushy. We stayed to the bitter end and I wouldn't mind coming back for more.
