Mum and Dad said we were stopping at McKibbin's for a couple of after-work beers…read more Fine. I agreed to accompany them. McKibbin's is a proper, good-sized Irish pub with two floors inside, but those of us with four legs are restricted to the outdoor patio. Luckily, there's a street-side seating area where dogs are welcome, so I settled in for one of my favorite Montreal activities: Human watching. Mum and Dad each ordered a couple of beers. I ordered nothing because, unfortunately, there was no dog menu. There was also no water bowl service, so McKibbin's has some room for improvement in the canine hospitality department. However... I had fans. Not one, but **TWO members of the staff came over separately just to say hello to me. They did not need anything. They were not bringing food. They simply wanted to meet me. At this point, I can only assume word of my arrival in Montreal has gotten around. I tried to remain humble. It was difficult. McKibbin's isn't a fancy dog destination, but that's also part of its charm. It's a comfortable, casual pub where Mum and Dad can have a couple of beers while I relax outside, watch Montreal go by and occasionally receive attention from my growing Canadian fan base. Dogba's verdict: 4 paws out of 5. Cold beers for the humans: Dogs welcome on the patio: Excellent human watching: Staff stopping by solely to admire me: TWICE Dog water bowl: Dog menu: Paparazzi: Surprisingly restrained Would return. Mostly because I feel it's important to stay connected to my fans.

I ended up going to this Irish pub twice in one weekend because my family ended up having a pretty…read moregreat time there! It's a fairly large space with seating out front as well as a downstairs bar area and an upstairs area that then opens up to a small backyard area! The music was pretty ok, nothing I wouldn't expect from a local bar. However, on the Sunday night I was there, there was a live singer/guitarist in the main area, which candidly I could have done without. Lots of TVs with sports on to watch. The staff was nice as well and I enjoyed wine, an espresso martini and a very large glass of cider. I'm writing this review mainly because this might have been some of the best poutine I've ever had, flavor wise. The curry was really something and we ate every last fry and piece of cheese. I would come back here just for their poutine.

Review for their Quartier Dix30 location, 2025…read more.. Horrible ending to our night, false accusations by their staff... My friends and I went to this pub as a portion of our celebrating one of their birthdays this evening. For context I and my friends are in our late 30s to early 40s, and we had beforehand gone to another establishment but the temperature was unbearable as they did not have air conditioning so we sought out an alternative and chose Mckibbin's. Funnily enough, Mckibbin's didn't have AC either but we ended up staying for a few drinks regardless, mostly to appreciate the live music which was quite good. The waitress was good as well, quick and friendly, we had a minor snafu with a couple of the drinks which were not to our liking but the bar graceously replaced them which is yet another solid point in their favor. Why, you might ask in that case, would I be rating this establishment one star then? Well it all comes down to how we ultimately exited the establishment. We all paid our tab at the table, and finished up the rest of our drinks, still enjoying the music playing. It was a great band by the way, I just have to say. We all ended up leaving after 10-15 minutes and all seemed well, except it was only once we're outside that I found out that apparently one of our group who had gone to the bathroom had been victim of a rather apauling scenario. He had been in the stall for 10 or so minutes (he was doing what he had to do .. sometimes nature calls), and was interrupted by a knock on his stall only to hear the bouncer tell him he had to pay and get out of the bar immediately. The bouncer aparrently had heard him "sniffing" his nose in the stall, and found that to be appropriate reason enough to accuse him of doing cocaine in the stall, and to force him out of the bar. Of course it did not cross his mind to think that perhaps it had something to do with the bar being at approximately 29 degrees, perhaps my friend simply had a stuffy nose, or perhaps he had allergies, no he heard a few sniffles and that was all he needed to throw out allegations. Needless to say, I'm completely and utterly disgusted having learned this. Ultimately we left and let things be, we weren't about to bust back in there and cause disruption for no reason we were already on our way out anyway, but to think that this man, employed by this establishment, could be so outlandishly shortsighted is a true injustice. Suffice to say, my friend has never done cocaine in his life, we quite literally made jokes about this man's accusations the whole ride home. Still, I will never go back to this place, because I shudder to think of myself in his situation and what I might do, how it would make me feel to be on the bad end of this kind of person's shortsighted and unfounded accusations. That said, I urge anyone and everyone to beware of the types of people this establishment has working under its payroll. Most of their staff (everyone else in-fact) were excellent, but unfortunately it only takes one completely rotten apple to ruin the bunch.

My husband and I were at Ye Olde Orchard tonight for dinner. We've been at this pub a few times in…read morethe past several years when we've visited Montréal. We decided to sit on the patio tonight, which was nice because the weather is lovely and warm and you can people-watch while you eat your food. I ordered 1/2kg of medium wings with fries and a cider. My husband ordered a Kilkenny and a burger with bacon and blue cheese. The order was taken quickly and the food came out quickly also. The burger was okay, warm enough and quite tasty but not the greatest. The wings were extremely overcooked and very dry, which isn't easy to do with wings. The sauce was fine. The fries with both dishes were very good. They were nice and hot and very tasty. The Kilkenny was good. The cider was pretty good too. We probably won't return to this restaurant.

My experience with McCarold's has been strictly through delivery via food delivery services due to…read morethe pandemic, but every. single. order has been spectacular, even the ones that take magical trips in the wrong direction... I'm reviewing their veggie burgers here, and the good news is they're one of those places where you can swap out the burger patty of any of their multiple burger options for a veggie one. Their fries are fantastic, reminiscent of twice-fried chip truck fries I grew up with, and their buns and standard addition of crispy onions are pretty great all things considered. Their food travels *extremely* well, and their packaging keeps everything quite sustained, even after 20-30 minutes of delivery time. We've ordered from them roughly 5 times and the average price for dinner for two, with tax/tips/delivery ends up being between $45-$55, which is pretty standard for ordering door to door service in the current climate. I *have* been to their physical location and it's a lovely spot, right next to UdeM, and like many places now, their poutine sauce *is* vegetarian. They have a decent section of beers and scotch as well.

Maybe we weren't very good at describing our flavor preferences. The service overall was great, and we even got some free shots for willing to switch seats for other customers. After visited few other speakeasies in Montreal and Quebec City, I can conclude that this was our least favorite stop.
