How come it took me three months to discover this place? It's AWESOME. I was always passing by, and saying, "oh, I should go inside". No, I shouldn't, on sunny days their patio is great!
They have a great menu and I'm yet to find something that…More »
This pub reminds me of my favorite pub - an old Irish pub, in Brazil, run by an old Irishman. The guy in Brazil closed the pub back in 2004, sadly, and I was orphan. Then I moved to Canada and found Whelan's, which feels the same, with good prices…More »

The place is HUGE and very beautiful. I'm pretty sure you won't have trouble finding a seat - I didn't, even on St. Patrick's night. Good service and menu. Pricing is ok, nice selection of drinks and beers.
The music is ANNOYING. You see, I go to a…More »
I'm not a sports fan, but I was with some sports fan. The problem is, the service is incredibly SLOW. They bring your drinks about 10 minutes after you ask for them (and the bar was empty) and you have to wait the eternity for the food (and, again,…More »

What a great discovery for a saturday night! Just beside the Scotiabank Theatre, lies this average pub. It has everything you expect from your average pub: cheap greasy food, cheap drinks, hockey games on the TV and an unexpected clean and decent…More »

It's a beautifully decorated place, looks like it's brand new. I was really expecting it to be incredible based on the appearance. My friend Chris told me they had the best Caesars in town but this night we were just disappointed, as they tasted just…More »
It was COMPLETELY EMPTY saturday night. I was trying to find a place on the Junction for some drinks and the 70's look kind of appealed me.
I asked for a Bloody Mary, and they didn't have bloody maries. Only Clamato with Vodka. It was so-so and cost…More »
The hostess was a very very friendly girl who put a giant smile on my face. Never saw a hostess so happy in my life.
They have handsome waiters, that's true. I asked for one drink or two, they weren't as good as I expected. Then I decided to ask for…More »

I MUST go back there to watch drag shows. They serve reasonably priced drinks and have a nice ambient - you can seat outdoors, on their balcony, on the bar, on cozy sofas, you choose.
They don't have waiters and have this problem of not offering a…More »
Despite the absolute lack of web presence, I can assure you this place exists - and it's HUGE, dude!
I went there yesterday for a truly canadian experience - watch a hockey match with a bunch of hockey fans! - and had a lots of fun. On the main floor…More »

I actually spent a lot of time there in a saturday bar-hopping night. This was the first pub on our night.
They are not exactly cheap and I dislike this 'no drinks menu' system. C'mon, I don't like to keep asking your waitresses what she suggests…More »

So, people actually like this place?
I went there for about 15 minutes on a saturday night. It was PACKED. There was a band playing old songs and these 40-something guys and ladies. Nothing against 40-something - I'll be 40 something in 10 years,…More »

I decided to go inside this place to have lunch today, a rainy sunday with a World Cup match.
I had absolutely no service. They are supposed to have waiters, but I had to scream, wave, go to the counter, to ask for food. I asked for a simple caesar…More »

This place deserves the "totally awesome" badge.
There's no word to describe their martinis - and the names are super, like "So Good It's Got To Be Gay". You HAVE to go there on Monday to drown on their martini menu! BUT I'm a traitor. I believe…More »

Wednesdays you can have 12 buck pitchers and even the shooters are cheap. It's definitely a place for cheap drinks. Oddly enough it was FULL OF BABIES - the pub, not the pitchers.
Wednesday night is not so empty and when I arrived with my friends…More »

I'm not a fan of this type of... public. Sometimes I have fun just analyzing the orange people (you know, fake tan?) with dyed blonde hair and wearing giant sunglasses even indoors and looooots of hair mousse. I had some fun yesterday doing this.

Mixed feelings about the place.
Their guestlist system works like a charm and I paid only 5 bucks. I arrived at 10:30 and the place was empty. I had cheap Jager while danced like a crazy to old 80's hits, until the guy decided to play trashy 90s…More »

I'm a huge fan of pubs and I'm always willing to visit different ones. I've been there last Saturday and found the place very nice, even being in a large group.
They seem to have only one TV and where I was sitting I wasn't able to see it - this,…More »

Looks like it's very common to don't have burgers at burger bar!
I had the following combo and I'm sure you won't regret if you try: the tequila taster (three half shots of different tequilas) and the saag poutine. It's a great selection for groups,…More »
I really like this place. The food was surprisingly good, but service was just ok.
It was packed and we asked for fajitas. Boy, they were HUGE. They got our order wrong (chicken instead of shrimp) but this was no big deal. Prices are VERY reasonable,…More »
It's an OK place with OK food, OK drinks and OK ambiance. It's kind of pricey (located at Bay & College, it's not surprising) for what you get, but it's not usually packed.
I've been there like two or three times, was not impressed, but came back…More »
I really like the food and drinks they serve here. But they have a serious problem with the service. Why they have to be SO SLOW?
I've been there twice. First time for lunch, ordered a small salad, it was super giant and delicious. But had to wait…More »

Mick E. Fynn's has that feeling of old neighbourhood pub, you know? I really like this. The food is GREAT, probably the best poutine around. I'm also a crazy fan of the jalapeno poppers. My stomach probably hates Mick E. Fynn's

24-hour spot, will save your life with good drinks and decent cuisine. I went there late night and they were playing all that 90's songs we all love, and I only missed somewhere I could shake my booty while slurping my caesar.

I go there usually once a month with my Linux group. It's small and cozy, but their menu is so ridiculous (even for a University Pub) I end up drinking water and eating chips.
It's cheap and they have a small pool table.
I WANT TO LIVE THERE, SLEEP UNDER THE TABLES.
I spent three days in Montréal. Went twice to this place. I only wish I had stayed longer so I could become a regular, because this bar is incredible.

I probably had the worst service from my entire life here. It was smokin' hot outside, and there were lots of empty tables. Husband asked for a beer, I asked for a diet coke.
Ten minutes later, his beer arrived. Nothing that resembled a diet coke,…More »
It's a few steps from work and I've been there a couple of times. It's a good looking place, with plenty of options on their menu - not just the regular pub fare, but a little bit beyond.
