Irish Embassy Pub & Grill

Chain bar. The drunkards equivalent to east side mario’s. Soon enough there will be highchairs and colouring books at every table, shitty renditions of the happy birthday song to follow.
Go across theparkibg lot to Huley’s.

I always enjoy my stay. Good people come here. You’re always treated like royalty. Pulled pork is always great

Normally four stars but they’re currently playing one more time by daft punk at full volume. If you turn it down I’ll change my review. MY EARDEUMS!!!

This place was another stop in my friends barhopping bachelorette night. They have some awesome cider as well as a sweet back terrace. I would definitely go back there just to chill out on the terrace in the summer. The staff is friendly and professional. The ambiance is nice and pubby with a lot of wood furniture. My friends and I had a great time here :)

I wanted a chill place to have a drink after a big dinner and this place did the trick. There was a live band playing my favorite tunes and the drink prices were great. It’s a big place so we were able to sit a little ways from the stage and still have a conversation without yelling. It wasn’t too crowded for a Friday night which was nice!

Great Irish pub! The Guinness was poured well and they had a great selection of food that was very traditional.

Great spot in MTL. Great Pub, food, live band. Good pub atmosphere.
Has a big patio in the summer, front and private in the back.
Foods good but I think their menu is smaller than a few years ago.
Had their burger there the other day. SOOOO GOOD.
They asked how I would like it cooked! YES. finally! A place that grinds it’s own meat. Pretty sure there was some lamb meat in the patty. A great «Irish» Pub meal. It was juicy and delish!
Staff is sometimes a little rude, but it’s a bar, so what else would you expect!
A top pub as a must see in MTL for sure!

Na Bishop Street, centro de Montréal, tem vários restaurantes do estilo irlandês e inglês. Boa opção para restaurantes e bares. Eu minha esposa, e cunhada chegamos umas 23h no Irish Embassy, mais uma dica do Untappd. É um «bar and grill» com dois terraços, um virado para Bishop Street e outro para a rua de trás, e com área interna ampla em madeira. Preferimos ficar dentro, olhando para os bicos de cerveja na pressão. A atendente nos deu «boa noite» com uma piada sobre estarmos falando outro idioma. Informei que eu e minha esposa iríamos de inglês e minha cunhada de francês. Incrível a capacidade de chavear entre as duas línguas da moça. A província do Quebec tem essa grande vantagem: eles estão acostumados a falar francês e inglês o tempo todo.
Gostei muito do lugar! Vale a ida!

I invariably end up here whenever I’m in Montréal, and it’s alright. Very similar to several Irish pubs in Boston. Good food, good beer selection. A bit pricey, but it’s downtown Montréal; you can’t really do much cheaper in this area.
The outdoor spaces are what make this place better than it has any right to be. The back terrace is quite large and there is also a deck in front. Very nice on a summer evening.

Une belle surprise. On m’avait tellement dit que c’était coûteux. Au contraire, abordable, bon service, bonne bière. J’y retourne.

I was dragged here to watch some stupid sports game. Already you can tell I don’t care for sports, right? Anyways, it was actually a nice time. Because it was the Canadiens vs. Bruins it was packed, just like every other pub in the city. It was also surprisingly much quieter than any Boston pub/​sports bar i’ve been to during any game night.
Luckily we found a table quickly outside in their «beer garden» which is what it reminded me of. The weather was perfect that night so it was very nice to sit out in the open air.
We ordered wings and drinks which all came out pretty quickly. The wings were downright amazeballs. We had the guinness bbq which were OK, but the honey garlic and spicy asian wings were soooo gooooood. I think we finished each pound in about 2 minutes. Our waitress was very attentive, bringing water without being asked etc. I love that.

Some of my coworkers recommended this place. So after a long grueling day at work I decided to stop by for some adult refreshments. After having three or four or six beers for appetizers I decided to order food from the menu. I had the cheesesteak and it was really good. It was so good I was truly shocked. Waitresses were extremely nice especially if you’re foreign (maybe it was my good looks, not). Atmospheres amazing, beer is awesome, food is exceptional especially for being barfood. Visit here and you won’t be disappointed even if you are not trying to seek asylum like I was.

The waiters were difficult to wave down, and I paid $ 30 for a mediocre pitcher of Sangria which was half ice, half drink! There was live music… which was sort of awful rock. I couldn’t justify paying $ 11 for nachos, so I didn’t try any of the food.

Nice irish pub. But the most noticeable trait is how good the food is! If you’re going to the pub at supper time, Irish embassy is definitely the best option around.

Didn’t try their Deep Fried Mars bar this round. Rest assured, the Mars bar days are numbered!

I’ve experienced waayyyyyyy better as a pub downtown. I remember when it opened: it was one of the few spots downtown I liked to go, grab a pint of beer and order some nice pub food on your nice terrasse. Now, not so much.
Let me tell you why in four words: worst customer service ever!
My last two times were awful: we waited too long for our food on lunchtime during a week day last summer; and on another night after a screening at Fantasia, then again a too-​long service. And the waiters were rude, you could feel they were rushed to serve too many people at the same time!
I could have excused it if it happened only one time, but two in the same month? Nope. I’m a sucker for good service and cool servers/​waiters. And I heard friends of mine had the same type of experience at your pub.
So I’m sorry, but you won’t see me again in your pub for a damn long time, and I will never recommend your place to my friends when they’ll be asking for a pub downtown.

What I like most about Irish Embassy is the patio out back. It’s a great place to grab drinks on a summer evening. Foodwise it’s fairly good depending on what you get. I really like their fries which are seasoned well with salt and pepper. They also have good burgers however I find the pulled pork a little dry. The Irish lamb stew is also worth trying.
When it comes to alcohol they have a good selection of beers on tap and happy hour specials which is always a plus. For tequila shots they use a tequila that isn’t too harsh at all.

I’m really not sure what to think of this place. I find just about everything ok. It’s not my favorite downtown Irish pub, but I still find myself there from time to time. The food is fine, it’s just better elsewhere. Ideally I would have given them 3 and a half stars, but sadly…
However… if you’re planning on going there with a large group and having about 4 stones of ale then I’m sure you’ll love it.
PS: They have a great terrace in the front which should buy them another star in my review, but it’s February, so it won’t;)

Happy hour! Happy hour! Happy hour! Or shall I say Happy DAY since it runs from 11:30am-7pm?! You read right, my fellow drunks.
My new favourite downtown pub for great beers, great service, average bar food, and a fun band (that, in my experiences, plays old school favourites by The Smashing Pumpkins and other 90s awesomeness). Always a good time!
I’m a huge fan of their White Velvet and Snake Bite (White or Blonde beer with Cider). In the Summer and Fall (if it’s not too cold or rainy) I like to sit outside, otherwise, the inside is really cozy, warm and dim, both of which make for a great ambiance.

This is a sad story.
I have a sweet spot for this pub, not least because a good friend used to work here before moving away.
The other day I passed by right before the kitchen closed with some friends. I got myself a sizzling pile of fat, plump spicy chicken wings. I mowed through about half the pile with delight, and got the rest boxed up to go. While waiting outside after, I was startled and disturbed by the the sight of two fat, plump rats scurrying down the road and diving through a crack below the bar. The (evil) person I was with made the inevitable comparison between the rat rumps and the delectable chicken legs I’d just been feasting on. And the leftovers have been sitting sadly in my fridge even since. Inedible through no fault of their own.
I never see rats in Montréal but I know they are there. They are in every city. I don’t even mind them in certain contexts — I took a road trip with a rat this one time… but that’s another story. I don’t blame Irish Embassy — I blame the evil friend — I’m sure the Embassy’s kitchen is highly hygienic. And yet. Gulp. Cringe. Shudder. Ahk. The damage is done. My over-​active imagination needs time to heal, and the once-​loved leftovers are doomed for the bin. I told you this was a sad story.

Un des rares pubs irlandais de Montréal où je n’ai pas essayé le fish & chips. Ce n’est pas à défaut d’y être allé, j’y suis probablement allé une bonne dizaine de fois. Ce n’est pas non plus qu’il n’a pas l’air appétissant, je l’ai vu et il me semble très bien. Non, la raison pour laquelle je n’ai toujours pas goûté au fish & chips du Irish Embassy, c’est parce que le menu présente plusieurs autres options qui m’ont ravi à chaque fois. Par exemple, la bavette de boeuf style gaélique, la poutine au porc effiloché, le jarret d’agneau, le saumon à l’érable, le cari du jour ou le ragoût d’agneau. Les plats et la bière sont excellents, mais l’endroit manqué légèrement d’ambiance le midi (en tout cas, les fois où j’y suis allé le midi). Par contre, le soir, c’est une autre histoire et c’est très chaleureux.

A great Irish pub located in the heart of the downtown core, Irish Embassy does a great job at getting away from your typical pub food.
Here on the menu you can find specials like: fried chicken and waffles, beer can chicken, fish and chips, and corned beef sandwich.
Try the corned beef sandwich!
They have a vast selection of beers on tap, pour an okay pint of Guiness and are a great place to catch a Canadiens game, or just grab some drinks and dinner before the game.
On Canadiens game nights, you will find the Team 990 crew doing a live pre and post game feed. And as hard as it may believe because of the size and amount of seats — it does does get filled up fairly quickly on game nights.

There is nothing really special about this place. It’s an Irish pub that has French speaking channels in their TV lol.
The beer selection is decent but the food is nothing to rave about. I would recommend this place for watching the Canadians games on TVs.
I would not come back here if I had a choice.
