Local 75 is my favorite gastropub in Montréal. While I usually like to go out and about in the downtown area, Monkland is where it's at, and we inevitably go back, again and again. That's how great it is. It boasts a great menu of pub snacks and burgers: I especially recommend the wine-infused duck pilons and vegetarian burgers. The wine and beer selection is equally thorough, but they also have cocktails, whisk(e)ys, and hot spirits to end your evening on a sweet note. It's also one of the few places I know of where they're okay with you having dessert with your poison of choice. The interior, while small, is very welcoming, and the full-length bar combined with friendly staff and its location in the neighborhood means you'll always meet someone interesting to swap stories with. High marks all around! read more

A great date spot with nice ambiance, high quality food that won't break the bank. Highly recommend the Buffalo cauliflower bites and the Reuben read more

It's a trendy bar. We went as Ye Old Orchard was full. The food was decent, the drinks and service were great. But it's cramped and loud. Great for pre-dinner drinks, but not an intimate place to dine. File under Monkland hipster spot. read more

This restaurant checked all the options for me - For my birthday outing I chose good pub food , in NDG, to sit outside on that beautiful night, not expensive but a something better than everyday. We had all that. My crispy burger, was perfection, my husband enjoyed his smoked meat. We both had very tasty 1/2 fries and 1/2 salad on the side. When it came for dessert they were almost all gone, so I ordered a crème brûlée, not my usual choice. It was delicious and served with a candle which the charming and efficient Marie lit for my birthday wish. Thanks Marie! I feared last year they were closed for good, but happily here they are again. We'll be back. read more

At $29 for a Reuben sandwich, I was disappointed to get frozen French fries. Has a well stocked bar. But tight tables an OK food.

Probably one of the safest restaurant during these weird times. They have plexiglass between the tables. Our waitress was very friendly & sweet. They have a nice selection of coktails & omg their mai tai is to die for. The menu is nice: not too limited but not too extensive either just perfect. Had the crab cake as appetizer super fragrant & love the fresh salsa it was served with. However their fried chicken is such a show stopper. Their prices are fair, food is delicious. Order from them if you are able. read more

New place in Costa Mesa this place was amazing. The beans are incredible. I did try to Smashburger however, it did not have the burnt ends that they said it would have. The fries were delicious as well. I think you guys should try it not a full bar, but I think they have beer and wine to accompany your meal. Happy eating. read more

Charming bistro pub with Art Deco ceiling. Cool and laid back vibe. The place was full and not surprising for a Thursday night. Staff is extremely friendly. I went for drinks and had the Calcutta baked carrots with feta as an appetizer and it was yummy and very well seasoned. It came with a nice sauce on the side and the carrots were sprinkled with feta which was a great touch. I am inspired to try making this at home one day. I won't hesitate to come back again and try other items on their menu. Check this place out for drinks and or food :-) read more

I've been to local 75 a few times and it is my fav place on monkland to get a simple but tasty dinner and a drink or two. They are located on a pleasantly lively part of monkland ave and there's outdoor seating in summer. Rain, snow or shine, there are always people in there having lively conversations - so if you are in the neighborhood, this might be the perfect spot to shake off the winter blues :) To me local 75 is the perfect example of what comfort food next door should be: no fuss, tasty food, friendly service and a lively cozy vibe all in a small, tastefully decorated restaurant hidden in your corner of the city, away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. read more

TLDR: Cute small bistro/pub with a great 5 à 7 Firstly, my search for a place that serves Dublin Pub Cider is finally over! Local 75 serves the delicious fruity cider and it made my evening. We were informed that their 5 à 7 special is that if you order one of their drinks or beers you get one amuse bouche for free. The waitress highly recommended the buffalo style roasted cauliflower, so I followed her suggestion and also got the caesar salad bites. My 5 caesar salad bites arrived first, and it was crunchy and refreshing. Small lettuce leaf boats with a dollop of caesar sauce, parmesan shavings, and 1 crunchy crouton. Definitely, a fun mouthful to have. The winner was definitely the cauliflower. If you think it is healthy, it isn't as there is a lot of oil despite being roasted. The generous portion of cauliflower is coated with an equally generous amount of buffalo sauce. The tabasco really came through, and I savoured every morsel. As I looked around, their larger dishes looked and smelled equally as delicious. The server was very sweet, and I would have to say also patient with us even after we stayed a little longer after paying for our receipts. To be fair I was still nursing my sweet cider, but they were very busy and clearly needed the table. It get's very busy oddly after the 5 à 7 even on a Wednesday! I definitely will be coming back as it's a great place in Monkland village to grab a delicious cider and tapas style pub food with friends or even a date. read more

All I can say is Sempor Victore! Means excellentia! Great local neighborhood joint where you can engage in an intellectual conversation on global economics with local intelligentsia (ok maybe some Irishmen who may have had too much Guinness!). Service is slow - but if you order a large Guinesss, you should be ready to order your food by the time you finish round one and ready for your second one. Not bad, remember you get smarter with every Guinness (up to 5 - there is a law of diminishing returns). Anyhow, at the end of the Second Guiney the food will arrive and you will not be disappointed. Very fresh local ingredients. I had a nice Waldorf salad. All I have to say is why go to the Waldorf Astoria when you can enjoy memories of the Emerald Isle and NYC right in a great Montreal neighborhood. A little bit of trivia - did you know William Shatner aka Captain Kirk went to school right up at the Street at Monkland's High School. Hmmm - I though the food tasted a bit extraterrestrial- or was that the Guiney! read more

The chicken and ribs were amazing! Crunchy and juicy chicken with massive batter and perfectly spicy. I am usually not one for side ribs but these were fall off the bone. Better than most baby backs I have had in the past. Our server Meaghan was wonderful and made great recommendations. read more

Came here on a Saturday evening with a friend. It looked cosy and we wanted to check it out since it was new and right there in Monkland Village. ATMOSPHERE: A laid-back, chill place. Good atmosphere - no super loud techno/crappy music. A plus right there lol. DRINKS: Drinks were good. I enjoyed the Sangria. They have a good selection of drinks and cocktail. Beer list is a bit limited. FOOD: We shared a few snacks (didn't have a full meal here - though I found the prices on the high side on the menu). I enjoyed the taste of the Roasted Buffalo Cauliflower- though the sauce was way too thin/runny. And the Cauliflower could have been crispier. The crab cake was ok - far from the best I've ever had, but far from the worse. The Avocado bocconcini snack was good - but again, nothing special. OVERALL: It's a cute place with a chill vibe if you're looking to grab a drink in a cool place in Monkland Village. I wouldn't necessary go out of my way to come here. read more

Came here with a group of friends - 6 in total. I ordered the meatless burger, the duck drummers and the chicken wings. The meatless burger was very good very tasty and well done. I enjoyed it very much. The duck drummers were good the sauce was very sweet. The chicken wings were just normal chicken wings - a bit dissapointed as the waitress said they were like general tao but they tasted nothing like that. Drinks were good my friends had the yolo and the Moscow mule. The reason for the two stars is the waitress dropped part of the drink (ginger beer from the Moscow mule) on one of my friends and although she did apologize she didn't offer any sort of compensation. Instead she just replied: " at least it wasn't the alcohol ". Not very impressive in my books. They do have a lovely terrasse - but so so many other restaurants on that street so I would try someplace else before coming back here due to lack of good service. read more

This place has only been open for 2 months. So we walked in on a Saturday shortly before 5 pm. Grabbed a table (which was a good thing since there are only about 8 tables) near the door. Bad move - it's freezing outside and every time that door opened I wanted to put my coat, scarf and mitts back on. We said hello to the waitress, she said to sit anywhere. We sat. Then we waited. And waited. Oh, how we waited. Finally the bartender noticed that we were still there on our own. He brought over some menus. Finally the very nice young girl in a white dress blouse and odd Lululemon yoga pants ( with long lacy cutouts on the legs....strange choice of uniform) came over and told us it was happy hour so any drink we bought came with a free appetizer (choice of 4 different appetizers). We said that was great and we would be staying for supper as well as beer and appetizers. Ordered our beer and free appetizers. That's when another waitress started her shift. The new waitress came to tell us that the appetizers were free during happy hour which only happened during the week, Monday through Friday. She asked us, "The waitress told you they would be free?" We said yes, she absolutely did. This one said we'd have to pay for them. Now, you could cause a stink and argue but we aren't those people so we said we'd still take the appetizers at a cost. The appetizers were brought to us. This new waitress gave us our next head-scratcher....... "Did the other waitress tell you that you can only order your food after 5:30 pm? Before then, the kitchen is busy doing prep and they only start to cook at 5:30 pm." Now, I checked the website before coming, they didn't mention that. Neither did the first waitress. Again......we could have been cranky but we decided to hang out and enjoy so we said we would wait. We ordered 2 more beers and the food came. We started with buffalo cauliflower (great to go with beer but would have been so much better with a blue cheese dip) and honey jerk wings (3 very small wings, good sauce). Both appetizers are $5.00. We never saw the first waitress again. It was probably the end of her shift. Or maybe she had a yoga class. Supper came......I had the exact shrimp (5 pieces) on pasta with Parm cream sauce dish that you will find at every single restaurant. Nothing stood out about this dish other than it needed sauce to actually call it a cream sauce. There was no sauce in the bowl whatsoever - trust me, I checked. I moved every noodle, hoping to find a little sauce. There was none to be found. He had the Guinness braised lamb shank with lima beans and creamy polenta (totally passable). We actually enjoyed the appetizers more than the main dishes - they weren't very creative but they came well seasoned. The second waitress was very nice, we have no complaints with her at all, other than someone needs to tell her NOT to call people "guys". I'm not a guy. I'm a 50 year old woman who is spending great money and tipping 20%. Don't call me "guy" or "dude", please. Supper came to $100 with tax. So, would we go back? Sure, for beer at happy hour with appetizers but not for supper. I'm NOT a fan of restaurants on Monkland and this one didn't change my mind but if you look at it as a pretty bar to hit while on your way home for a beer, you'll be very happy. Very attentive bar service is a huge plus as they have a lot of seats along the bar. read more

Great Food and drinks, what more could you ask for? I always order the steaks and depending on availability, the cut changes from week to week, they are always perfectly aged, cooked medium rare to perfection and always tasty. The good is very good. The place is always busy, but relaxed at the same time. The drinks are good, I am not picky as far as drinks go, but appreciate my single malts, and their selection is good. Although there are other bars and pubs in the area, I appreciate the atmosphere at Local 75 read more

As soon as I walked in the place it felt like home, had the feeling of San Francisco pub I used to drink at all the time. The food was amazing and the best part were the bartenders, Bully and Mike have around 50 years of experience mixing drinks. Is great to see 2 local boys work that hard to make their dream come true. This place is a GEM. read more

Pretty good food but does not really stand out from other similarly priced restaurants and it is too expensive, with very limited portions. The beef which comes with veggies on the side actually came with only a few asparagus pieces. Friendly service and a nice green terrace gives this a nice atmosphere though. read more

This is a new-ish addition to the monkland village food scene and I finally got around to trying it out for myself. I stopped in for lunch with a friend. The first thing I noticed was the decor, it was so cozy but so pretty inside it almost has a retro/chic feel to it that I really enjoyed. Our server was so friendly and took great care of us. I ordered the Chicken quesadilla with salad on the side and she ordered the shrimp roll with fried on the side and we both had the iced tea. My Queensland was pretty big with nice big pieces of grilled chicken and fresh veggies and gooey cheese inside (what more can you ask for ? :) ) and my salad was fresh mixed greens with a nice light dressing. My friend really enjoyed her shrimp roll and fries she said the food was fresh and well prepared. We both really enjoyed the ice tea also (it tasted home made since it had a really nice flavour to it). The prices were so cheap for lunch and the food was tasty, fresh and at a great portion size. I will definitely be back here to try them out for dinner and a drink , especially in the summer time when I could also enjoy the outdoor seating. This seems like a nice place for a casual date or to hangout with a friend (May not be the best for bigger groups due to limited seating, as the location is not very big). Overall , I really liked this place and it is a nice addition the the restaurants on Monkland. read more

I went there recently for dinner with friends was presently surprised. The vibe, service, food & pricing were all very good. We ordered the hamburger which came with a good size salad & fries. Nothing was skimped on here. Also order a shot of Jamieson each. I would definitely go back again. read more

Visited a few days ago for lunch. Bistro itself is very nice and well finished. Service was average along with food. Hamburger plate has generous portion . I love hamburgers, this was an average burger. Chicken Caesar was again average. Prices are what you would expect for Monkland Village ( slightly higher than they should be). Might go back if in the neighbourhood and walking by, but many other better places for food are out there. read more

Local 75 bistro is really quite unique Its classic thirties motif will, your interest, pique: Tiffany lamps and wooden shelves surround a wooden bar. Or grab a wooden table if you'd rather sit afar. If, perchance, your cup of tea isn't just the venue I'm quite sure you will agree that it is in the menu. There is a separate menu, for lunch, dinner and late. Service very friendly, you never have to wait. There's Cubans, Reubens, salads, a nice crispy crab cake Pasta, burgers, swordfish, and tortes they themselves make. And its all homemade, even the chicken pates, And if you aren't hungry, they've a nice blend of lattes. Wash them down with a retro mixer -- Martini, manhattan or some other elixir. And when you leave it won't feel like Lent, Yet you'll still be able to pay your rent. read more

A great neighbourhood pub with excellent service, warm vibe, and the best cheeseburger and fries in town.

Pretty typical pub fare. Had caesar salad and a burger. Neither was terrible but not fantastic either. Nice venue but wouldn't go out of my way to return. Service was decent but could have been a little more attentive and friendly. read more

I can only critique this spot for lunch which I shared with a friend today. Everything about this place works, from the decor, service, and menu options. It's spotless clean including the bathrooms and the music is soft and pleasant. Another positive are the prices for beer, wine, etc. The only negative we found was the food. My veggie burger was just OK but the bun it was served on was dry and too thick, making the whole thing huge and messy to eat. The side salad was fine. My friend's Cobb salad was also acceptable but not special. I will return, however, once the terrasse opens and I can enjoy a drink and appetizers in the sunshine. read more

Rude service. Drinks and ambiance are nice but expect rude service from the waiters and waitresses.

If your looking for above average pub food with generous portions and decent prices then this is your place...cause Monkland can be $$$$$.

Fantastic fried chicken sandwich with spicy mayo, seasoned fries and salad. I love the fact that you have a choice of fries, salad or both. Portions are generous and 15$ price point is reasonable. Only had lunch but will return for 5-7 and dinner. My new favourite pub on Monkland! read more
