McLean's Pub Reviews

Shoutout to the staff for excellent service.
Went for game 7 of Washington vs Tampa bay and was not disappointed with the service. food was good, reasonably priced and service with a smile. My waitress although super busy was attentive to our needs, and even helped up save money because there was a 3 liter pitcher of beer that was not listed beyond 60oz. That being said Ross the barkeep was super charismatic and offered great service and fast delivery of drinks. Busboy Magi was on the ball cleaning quickly and making sure we were good. He signaled the appropriate people for orders and worked well with peers.

Will definitely come back during the Vegas Washington playoff games.

Ps: Thank you so much for the excellent service. My colleague who is from the Yukon and doesn't speak a lick of French also really enjoyed himself at your establishment.

Not so much for anything other than the fact that the bouncers were requesting bribes to meet my table of 4, when he told me that he was letting regulars ahead.

In my opinion it was a bad way to do business, but it was for a one off event. (Mayweather vs McGregor Fight)

However they should have advertised a cover charge beforehand.

No complaints about the service. Food is standard pub fare. Better options available.

They have poutine, beer, and love the Habs. nuff said.

Good beers, typical pub atmosphere!
Never disappoints!

The waitress was very pleasant and the terrace was lovely. The gravy on the poutine was a little eh but overall it was a good experience.

Great atmosphere and service. Had high expectations for the poutine and was a little let down.

Popular pub in downtown Montreal. Same drinks as other bars or pubs, although not all of them smell as strongly of the stale hops, vomit, urine blend.

Bartender upstairs in the lounge was fantastic and funny.. Great service.

Excellent place to go with friends. Good beer choices and Pub food.

I really enjoyed my time at McLean's Pub. Being a visitor in Montreal, the atmosphere was very inclusive and inviting. It was also interesting to hear songs from 'The Wiz' playing in a PUB! I never imagined I would be pushed into a reminiscent memories of Diana Ross and Michael Jackson gliding down the tattered yellow-brick road to the Emerald city over multiple affordable shots of vodka.

Another awesome compliment to the experience of McLean's, would be the highly accommodating staff. I felt more than taken care of, and quite happy with the sincere customer service, which led me to leave a generous tip for my awesome waiter/bartender. The drink selection is also golden.

Also! When you go upstairs heading towards the bathroom, Mclean's offers patrons a courteous $2.00 breathalyzer test, which helps you gauge your state of well-being. When I return to Montreal, I will be sure to stop by again!

Great atmosphere and I recommend the "beer towers"!

nice irish pub and good sports bar with snacks and fast foos

The food is good , the beer is pretty good as well, but the whole place left a bitter taste in the mouth when the blonde lady behind the bar didn't return my 12 dollars change and just kept it, and when asked about it she said " oh , you don't want your change, do you ? " I think that is really rude and I would never do that to anyone, I ran a pub and that is NOT the way to behave

Great place !!

Great beer, great food and amazing staff!

I will definitely be going back!

This was a fun place! The bartenders were very personable, friendly, and made you feel welcomed. We had a couple drinks and an appetizer. The jukebox was playing music for most of our visit. Just as we were leaving, a man started playing his guitar. Great place to visit!

I love this place. Great atmosphere large sceens all around showing NHL or UFC or Basketball. Staff is adorable. You can find a place even on crowded weekends. Never a miss an opportunity to visit McLeans when in town.

Great staff and great people who sit and eat the great food and drinks I will visit this place again for sureon my next visit to Montreal

Exciting pub, good food, we left before the entertainment.

Loved the live band playing there.
I've had the smoke meat dish with a few pints of La Joufflu.
All i all a good experience.

Classic pub in a great location. It has been around for years and still has a good beer selection and menu.

Not the best poutine I have had, but great atmosphere

Great food. Great service. And pretty good pitcher prices. Also the best place to watch the UFC in English.

Destiny the server is the only reason this place is three stars. Decent Irish pub.

Awesome spot to grab a beer and poutine or any of there other awesome grub.

Cool place patrons,servers,music food.What else could one ask for??

Get there only for a drink, it was kind of a nice ambiance for a hockey game night.

Go there Everytime I'm in town. Excellent food and service

Go-to spot for a 3 or 10 litre tower of beer at your table!

It's been years since I was at McLean's Pub and my return didn't disappoint. 7 guys took on the monster 10L beer tap the put on your table!! Great time, highly recommended.

Very good pub, good music, beer and food. There is some shock top pressure. Two pool tables upstairs

You can watch the games from Champions League over there.

Raw and fun type of Pub. Can't say enough about the place.

Nice Irish bar. Perfect for chatting and drinking a beer

I rarely get to Montreal for a visit and a hockey game, but this is one of my favourite go-to places. The service is always fast and friendly and the overall atmosphere of the place is truly welcoming. If you're in Montreal and (if you're a Habs fan) there's simply no better pub to watch a game and eat some classic, tasty grub.

Middle ranged pricing, nothing really sets this place apart from all the other pubs in town

The beer selection is good and at good prices so for drinks I would recommend it, but the food is less good. Food is not fresh and doesn't taste great. The onion rings are just fozen rings and the salad had way too much vinegar. For a drink as noted it is worth while, but there are better places to eat.

Fish & chips as well as the burger, were very satisfying. Service was excellent.

Cate and Heidi are rockstars behind the bar! Will definitely come back! Such awesome energy they add to the vibe here! So many great laughs!

My hockey team seems to find this place every November during our hockey trip to Montreal. Good, cold Canadian beer selection. Cool options for a group of hockey players (see picture), food was good bar food - everyone enjoyed what they ordered, good place to watch the canadians play hockey. You won't find your favorite team on the tv, unless they're playing the canadians...

I walked into McLean's Pub around 6:30pm so I can't say if there's parking around back. It looks like street parking or a public lot would be in order if you aren't staying in the area. The pub was packed with lot's of people when I went inside but not to the point that there was any kind of wait time. There were still few tables popping up and a spot for me at the bar close to the Jays game and Raptors game. There was also a good vibe of music playing in the background. I decided to try the Smoked Meat Poutine and it was exactly as advertised. I also had the beer special of a pint of Labatt 50 for $5.00. I suspect that after dinner the evening there continues with the buzz of socializing and drinks. If you want to be in and around one of the more frequented locations this pub is a good choice. The staff were really friendly and greeted me right away and the bartender made sure I had what I wanted through out.

I really liked this place. It had a good vibe, the server was pleasant, she was on top of her game, the food was good, and the prices were fair. I had the Original Poutine and it rocked. They had about 10 other flavors e.g. curry. I enjoyed the sweet iced tea, and my tablemates all enjoyed their meals and craft beers.
Con: went later when the kitchen was closed and the only bar food was chips and salsa for CDN$10.

Honest place for an evening with friends or colleagues. Finger food very satisfying and good selection of whiskey

Weak menu and substandard service. Location is good.

We enjoy going on Wednesday nights for karaoke!! Lots of fun, good prices, great staff!!!

What a great shop .. was there with my local friends to watch a Canadiens game. Great atmosphere with very great people. Service was great and the conditions were very polite and friendly. Good selection of dishes and various types of beer. I will definitely be back ...

We stopped in for a quick lunch and a drink. The staff was wonderful, the menu extensive, and the drinks a perfect tonic on a blustry winter day.

Gabrielle was brilliant. Place is the old pub vibe complete with tile ceilings
and downstairs bathrooms. World cup on every channel and packed by 11am.

Guinness was muck and not an authentic Irish pub in the slightest. Staff seemed friendly enough though and lively atmosphere but definitely not Irish.

Nice place to watch games and pay per view fights in downtown. Decent Pub food and beer selection. Their second floor has pool tables and is great for groups.

Nothing special... Clean, good ambience, average price

I stumbled upon this place walking about Montreal on a business trip and stopped in for a beer and some food to watch a football game. Locals accepted me in like I was a regular. Great atmosphere and the routine was delicious! Thanks guys!!
