We stoped in here last time in Montreal in the mid afternoon for a quick drink and a snack. I was hoping to find a place to watch the Canucks game later that evening but it's not easy to find somewhere that'll have it on in Montreal especially on a Habs game day and that was the case at Le Cage as the bartender said I was out of luck. We had a couple appies the classic poutine which was pretty good, nice gravy and the mini fried onion block. Wow that was great !!! Instead of the standard onion rings it's strips of onion stacked and deep fried and the centre filled with a chipotle sauce. What a great way to prepare onions! This was definitely one of the best munchie foods I've had with a cold beer. The service at Le Cage is average at best but I've found many of the servers in Montreal we have had aren't overly personable or quick on their feet. I don't think I would make this a regular stop for a larger meal but for a quick beer & the onion block I would definitely stop by again. read more

After wandering around the famous St Paul street we saw that La cage had a rooftop lounge so we stopped in .We ordered 3 different appetizers, flatbread , 3 fish tacos and potato skins, all were excellent and the service was excellent as well. A nice addition was plenty of Tv's for watching sports if you are into that. All in all a first rate restaurant with some nice people watching on the rooftop lounge onto the famous St Paul street. read more

This place has very delicious Buffalo wings! We tried several things but I don't really care about anything else besides their buffalo wings. And we got a side of 911 sauce (which isn't too spicy, more just like a regular hot sauce). We tried several other things but the only thing I loved was the buffalo wings. I could've ate like 30 of them by myself. They also had free popcorn which is cool. And they had a few good drinks. We tried the Moscow and this fruity raspberry drink which was delicious! Try their buffalo wings, they're great! read more

Eww. And I say this completely understanding that this is a tourist trap. But I really don't understand when a business loses interest in their own business and their guest. With that said we had the poutine which was... Gross. We ordered a Long Island Iced Tea that was about 16 oz and all I got from that was more disappointment instead of a buzz. And yeah, I once again say it's an obvious tourist trap food stop. But don't fall for it. Look for another spot... Now. read more

This place reminds me a lot of Red Robins without the bottomless fries. I didn't realize this was a franchise. From the outside, it looks like the restaurant is small. However once you go in, you can see their interior dining rooms are extensive. We climbed a steep narrow set of stairs to eat in the spacious upstairs dining room. Our server was great. Very friendly. I had the salmon burger. Salmon was a bit fishy smelling. I think they should season it with pepper and lemon juice. The kids menu came with drink entree and ice cream. Super deal! Fish and chips came with one strip of fish and a lot of fries. read more

Staff was very friendly but the food, I was not all that impressed with. We ordered 2 variety appetizers and only 2 out of the 6 items were okay. They other 4 you should just pass on which makes the variety a pass overall. Lots of TVs to watch the game on made this place acceptable. read more

La Cage - 2x3 different appetizers. The tacos were cold which I was not expecting but ok. The onion rings were not good. - Sports Bars Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

This is a better than-average sports bar, so if that's what you want, you're in the right spot. This location is set in the middle of old town Montreal, so don't go in expecting gourmet French cooking. It's not that. I came into this place totally because of the location (2 blocks from our AirBnB) and the Wednesday night special. A bottle of wine is half price, so that was a steal! Besides the wine, we had a couple of fish tacos and some brussels sprouts. Overall the price was great and the food was yummy. Our service was kind of slow, it seemed like they were slightly understaffed on the server side. We're not likely to go to this spot again, the rest of our time in Montreal was spent in more local-type spots. It's a franchised sports bar and as far as those go, a pretty good one. read more

We went there on a cold evening. The place was pretty empty, two floors. We didn't get any popcorn. Probably it was self-served, but we didn't get informed. There is only one waitress working for the entire floor. We had a full rack rib plate and chicken wings. The food was really tasty. I had thought the food was overpriced but the portion was generous. The draft beer was also refreshing. The glass was shining. read more

Fun place to eat during a soccer game! There are tv's everywhere you look, even outside. Food was good. Ordered the BBQ Pulled Pork Nachos, they were ok but the portion is gigantic. It has BBQ sauce instead of salsa which tasted good at first bite but got old after a few bites. It can easily feed 2-3 people. Our table also had the macaroni n cheese which was absolutely amazing, definitely order that. Burgers where good and I've attached the kids menu as sometimes that's hard to find. Popcorn is downstairs and free, however our server didn't tell us about it. Service is pretty slow. Our waiter was chatty with the other servers, so we rarely got a refill on our drinks and took forever to get our check. Overall it's a great place to eat if you're looking to watch a sporting event on tv. read more

La Cage - POUTINEEEE - Sports Bars Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

You know a burger is bad when you take a bite and think to yourself, "Wow. I've had hospital food better than this. In fact, I've had vending machine hamburgers better than this." I'm not exaggerating. We wanted a quick, simple pub grub meal for our last dinner in Montreal since we have to be up early in the AM. Since La Cage Aux Sports is right across from our apartment rental, it seemed to fit the bill. We should have known when we walked in on a Friday night at and the place was COMPLETELY empty, save for two middle aged guys holding up the bar. Husband and I chose a seat at the other end of the bar, and upon sitting down noticed that most of the bar was dirty with crumbs and wrappers. I'm not sure why the bar would be so filthy considering there was nobody in it, but... okay. I ordered the Prime Rib burger. The burger had many flaws, but the most grievous sin was that it was burnt. Seriously burnt black. It tasted just like the kind of burger you'd get in a vending machine: the bun was your typical super-soft wonderbread kind, and the meat was standard factory-issue. I don't know why they would call it a Prime Rib burger when the beef had none of the juiciness or flavor of prime rib. It tasted more like the burgers you get in the frozen food section in a bag of 10 patties. I'm not above digging a Costco backyard burger, but burning it into a lump of charcoal is unforgiveable. I ate three bites, which is amazing for a girl who can eat practically anything. My husband ordered the Hot Chicken Sandwich, which were two pieces of thickly sliced white bread (also of the spongy wonderbread variety) with chunks of chicken in between. The sandwich was then covered in gravy and then topped with peas. The bread-chicken-gravy monstrosity itself was barely warm, but even worse, the peas were cold and mushy. So. Very. Gross. Despite these huge shortcomings, the bartender/waitress was really nice (though mostly absent). Being tourists, we didn't have the guts to send the food back, so we just left our entrees mostly uneaten and hightailed it outta there after finishing our drinks. Dinner ended up being cookies and chips from the Couche-Tard a couple of blocks away. Sad to end our great Montreal culinary tour on a bad note, but all the other awesome meals we've had here made up for this giant dud. read more

It used to be popular place, not one of my favorites. There are screens to watch sports games. And, the menu is a classic one. They have two terrasses, that attracts tourists. We shared two nachos, and cheese was lacking, same for the other ingredients, I won't order it next time. read more

I went here my second night and Montreal and was extremely underwhelmed. We went here because they had an indoor section, a half outdoor section and then an upstairs region... Alot of space in this space. They have affordable drink prices which attract alot of local kids and American tourists that are 18. The menu was a what you'd expect from a typical sports bar, and the atmosphere was surprisingly really nice.... I wish we had more affordable central town baes like this where I live. Here's where things get bad. The outside section has like a million spiders... Which I'm not knocking Cage for this because this is just a Montreal problem. Just something to know if you freak out easily.. Actually don't even walk around Montreal if you are because they are everywhere.. Hence why I'm not docking points. It's not a cage problem. The wings were grossly small and lacked flavor... It tasted like nothing... Nothing at all. The sliders tasted frozen that were just baked. It was not consistent with texture or tastes.. It was weird. The poutine was overly salted and I couldn't even finish it because it was gross. I really just left this place because I couldn't stand the food anymore. We just had exceptional service, hence why it got a 2stars and not a zero... The waiters were extremely nice and accommodating. read more

La Cage - Chicken wings... - Sports Bars Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

We were in town for a long weekend and needed to find a place to watch Sunday Night Football. They have a large six panel TV which dominates the bar, and if you can get your game on there you get a great view. Otherwise, smaller TVs throughout will do. Maybe we were sweating it that we wouldn't get our game on, so over the course of 45 minutes negotiated with the bartenders to 1) put our game on, 2) watch them struggle to figure out how to operate the Direct TV system 3) point out on the channel guide the game we wanted 4) negotiate our game for the big TV, and 5) secure actual sound for the game. Sports bars should be more on point on how to handle getting the games, on when it is the only game in town (no other football, no hockey, no baseball, Canadian or US, to compete with). The burgers were a little overdone. They had a decent choice of beers on tap, I was able to actually locate an IPA. They were out of Molson Canadian. Free popcorn to snack on. read more

This is a popular sports bar chain on Quebec - but you might not notice that in this Old Montreal location. The sports aspect is very low key. They have a *fabulous* two story patio, with lots of shade. For food, suggest sticking to the burgers. My salad was uninspired and I was jealous of my husbands very tasty burger. The waitress was sweet and prompt. Overall we enjoyed our time on the patio. Would I return: Yes Would I recommend: Yes, but avoid the salads. Patio is beautiful read more

Evening visit for a after-trade show wind down. Place has a limited menu..very little that's healthy (not that I'd go to a sports bar for healthy food). I ordered the chicken breast with a side house salad. The chicken breast tasted like it was spinning on the George Forman Grill since last Sunday, very dry & with the "I've been reheated" taste. It came with a St Hubert knock-off sauce that tasted like warmed over anti-freeze! The good news for this is it was only $13.95 for the meal, bout $10.00 too much. The worse part of the evening is we were served by a DUDE!! What self respecting sports bar doesn't have hot women serving the food!! One good thing...giant TV but that's negated by the no sound sports. NOT a do over. read more

A great place to just stop by and drink on a rooftop. They have snacks , beers, free wi-fi and cute waitresses. Also great that it's located in the heart of Old Montreal. Bring some cards and play drinking games if you want. They allow smoking upstairs just ask for an ashtray. Friendly service! I'm just going to assume all Canadians are friendly but it was a little difficult to find our waitress at times. Overall nice place to just grab some drinks and snacks while we hung out in Old Montreal read more

Went for lunch. Good portions and lunch specials include a drink. 1/2 off bottles of wine on Wednesday's-- highly recommend. The fish and chips were crunchy and the homemade tartar sauce perfectly complemented the dish.

Underwhelming to say the least.... food was fine, but you could definitely tell that it is a chain restaurant. Service was good, but the policy of sitting only parties of 3+ in a booth seems a little ridiculous, considering after we were seated at a table for 2 (asked to be switched to a booth, and told no) that they continually filled 3 more booths with only parties of 2. If you're going to make a policy, make it uniform. Overall: would not recommend read more

Would not come here again unless I wanted to watch live sports. Food is subpar (who doesn't roast jalapenos on nachos?!). The service leaves something to be desired. On the plus side, it wasn't too crowded when we went in. Con, it still took very long for us to get the one appetizer we ordered. read more

I was very underwhelmed by this restaurant. On a recent trip to Montreal, we were very hungry around mid-afternoon, so decided to check this place out for lunch as it was nearby. Our server came over fairly quickly to take our drink orders, but it took over 20 minutes before she returned after dropping off our drinks to take our food orders. Considering how hungry we were, this was not a great start to our experience here. We started out with an order of the homemade chips to tide us over, which were actually good. For my meal I ordered the chicken caesar salad. My family ordered a variety of sandwiches, salads and chicken tenders. The menu was pretty typical for a sports bar. I am going to be honest, the caesar salad was one of the worst caesar salads I have ever eaten. It had bacon on it, which sounded good, however the bacon was chewy and undercooked with a strange flavor. I did not like the flavor of the dressing. The only good thing I can say about my meal was that I liked the cheese bread that came with it. I could barely eat the salad, though. My family felt the food was average to below average as well. I think a lot of the food had been frozen. The one thing that they liked was the poutine. There are lots of good places to eat in Montreal, I would not recommend choosing this one. read more

Was in Montreal MayDay weekend and came through to watch the Mayweather and Guerrero fight. La Cage is a Great looking sports bar. It's TV galore with a huge center serving bar. Wide open space with two huge projector screens along with smaller flat screens at every turn of the head. The place was awfully empty though considering it was fight nite. I guess Canadians aren't that big into boxing? The kitchen was shut down, so there's no food review. It was around 11pm when we got there plus there was a small number of patrons so it's understandable. The fam and I knocked back two pitchers of beer as we watched Mayweather dismantle Guerrero then called it a night. The waitress was nice but insisted on speaking French, so my cousin that lives there had to place the orders. I hear its a big thing in Montreal now... that French preservation has turned into French force feeding. Even with out-of-towners and tourist. Shrug, watchu gona do? Maybe the place is livelier when hockey is on, Who knows!? The other Yelpers do, silly! I'd go again to watch a fight and drink a beer. La Cage Aux Sports. alright stuff. read more

Busy place on Sunday night... there menu looked different so we decided to try it... very friendly staff.. They have bar food with a bit of Asian twist that I thought was pretty cool. We ordered 2 sets of finger food platters: tacos with cabbage, mini burgers, Asian fried chicken nuggets and shrimp. It was weird combination but it worked... everything was balanced perfectly...very fresh.. the only problem it was small... enough for me but not for my bf. well...more space to try different foods.. read more

OK place to see the end of the hockey game and have a pint or few with friends. The service was average, they didn't want to substitute my rice with sweet potato fries, something that can be easily done in every Irish pub for a small surcharge and I had to remind about my second pint. The place is more attractive during the summer, when you can sit outside on the terrace. Free popcorn helps the 3 stars rating! read more

Great location, old Montreal. We ate here one night, ONLY because the restaurant that was originally there was no longer, and well we didn't want to go searching for another!! The service was a bit slow to start...well actually the service was pretty crap the whole time. The food was great. Had the Fish tacos for an appy then the southwest salad. Fantastic. My boyfriend had the burger, he wasn't overly impressed. read more

Always trust your fellow Yelper, I didn't. Reading trough a lot of review for places to eat I wasn't really sure what I wanted to eat but my company wanted to have some "barish" food, if that's a category. So we settled for this place because of the upstairs balcony, getting us away from the mass of people on the streets. This was a good idea and also the reason why I give this place 3 stars instead of 2, the only reason. So a nice place to sit and you could barely hear the clubmusic that was blaring at the place. Ordering in a drink each to start of our meal, all of them wear waaaay to sweet for any of our liking, especially the white sangria and the raspberry Collins. But they were cheap, so hey, you get what you pay for? Ordering in food I went for the salmon, apparently new on the menu. Asking if I could switch the mashed potatoes to some sallad of sorts, that'll be extra she said. Sure I'll go for that. But I like my fish on the raw side, for me it gives it a bit more flavor so I ask our waitress to barely cook the fish, like just flip it to both sides and we're good. I want it to scream when I put my fork to it. She didn't seem to care at all, simply giving me a nod and strolling of. The rest of my company ordered in tacos and a burger. Waiting time, not to long at all, considering the place was full it was actually good! At first sight it looks good, it actually seems like the fish isn't overcooked and I got a small sallad on the side. and all the other food looks great as well! You know how, if you don't have enough time, you just kind of defrost some fish in the microwave or in a hot bath, well, that's what it felt like they had done with this fish and then not fried it at all... So that resulted in the dryest piece of fish I've ever had, and mind you, there is no sauce of any sort served to this. Not a pleasant experience. Apparently the burgers were good but the tacos unsatisfying. Like previous reviews, if you go here ask for a burger. read more

This place was the worst part of our trip here in Montreal! The manager/host was extremely rude (and smelled awful). This is supposed to be a sports bar, but they only have 2 TV receivers. So if the event you came to watch isn't one of the 2programs already on the multiple TVs in this place, you are out of luck. We were forced to watch a crappy MLS game and golf instead of a Man Utd match. The manager kept saying "2 minutes I'll change it", with other groups requesting the match as well. Never happened. On top of this, we waited over an hour for our food- which was over cooked and barely edible. The place was 30% full, and not busy at all. We should have left as soon as the host gave us attitude when we walked in, just like the 10-15 other parties that walked in and right back out while we were there. Avoid at all costs. read more

In town from Portland, OR USA. Stopped in for a quick beer with my business colleague after attending a conference at the Palais de Congres. The next day, my colleague realizes she no longer has the credit card she used to pay for our beers the day before. Checked her bank account online and discovered that it was being used at La Cage where we had been 24 hours earlier. Raced over and contacted the manager, Louis, who immediately tracked down the receipt of those who had used the card, found what table they had been sitting at (20 minutes earlier) and who had waited on them. As it turns out it was two 20-something French - Canadian women - Shame on you two thieves!! The manager and the waiter who assisted were outstanding. So....although we did not have food at this establishment I want to recommend La Cage solely on the "service" provided by Louis and his waitstaff. Exceptional! Thank you Louis!!!! read more

2 stars is being generous. 1 star is for a great location in Old Montreal and the other star is because my wife likes their salt and pepper chicken wings. It fails at being a sports bar. Sure they show a few games but they simultaneously pipe in Whitney Houston and Celine Dion greatest hits over the sound system. Food has no imagination, variety or taste. Service and management are very weak. Have had several issues over the 5 times that I have been there with no satisfactory resolutions. Waste of a great location in Le Vieux Port! read more

For a sports bar with lots of TVs, the staff isn't knowledgeable about live sports. I had to fight with one of the waitresses to put on an NBA playoff game 7 on one small screen. Everything else was showing a far less important hockey game. I get it, it's Canada, but a real sports bar should cater to all sports. read more

I didn't have a horrible experience here but it's a sports bar and honestly, I wouldn't have picked it. But I was out with family and this was a good place to go to for a pint after visiting some sights near by. The service was good and the beer selection was OK. What I did like was the patio, which was airy and open. Despite being inclined to avoid all sports bars, I'm glad I came here in the middle of the afternoon instead of the evening. I have no idea about the food but I would assume that it's your typical sports bar fare. read more

We wanted a bar to watch the West Coast hockey games and found this place open late. It worked. We saw a period of the Kings and had some cold beers on tap. Selection was limited but sufficed. I opted for a Molson over a Coors Light. Staff was friendly enough. Their TV screens were great and they have many, including a huge one up high. We were able to watch the game easily. What was unfortunate is they closed a bit on the early side because we wanted a break in ordering. Next time, we'd just keep ordering. If you're staying in the area and want a sports bar, this works. read more
