I love an Irish pub and always try to pop in one if I'm in a new place. With some time on my hands while visiting the nearby cultural sites, I was happy to sit down at Hurley's for a while. The staff were so friendly, the Irish beers were tasty as always, and the food was great - as usual from an Irish pub. Hurley's delivered on the expectation of a great pub. read more

Very cool atmosphere. Feels like you are in an old time Viking bar, not really sure what that means exactly. You have to see it with your own eyes. The Murphy's beer was refreshing and the food was filling. Large portions, filled me up well after a long day of travel. read more

Great ambience, good tunes, amazing food. Not too many reasons not to try it out. Bigger inside than it looks. Came by this place from reviews and they are well deserved. read more

The food here is not bad. It's probably the only restaurant in this part of the airport that has full service. There's a bar you can sit at, but we opted for a table. The food did take a while to come out and from what I can tell, they are definitely hurting for another waiter. Our server was running around the place and that could be why our food took longer than normal. The food was just ok if you have time to sit down and enjoy a pint with some food. If time is of the essence, I'd skip this and get something fast. read more

I came here years ago when I visited and was happy to see it was just a 10 or min walk from my hotel. After a morning of shopping, I headed here to recharge. I love Irish Pubs, and this place always reminded me of Fado's Irish in Chicago. It was early afternoon, very quiet, not many people and I was fine wtha that. Some Copa Europa Futbol was on, so I sat inside rather than outside, it was too hot to sit outside for me. The waitress was helpful and friendly. Instead of a Guinness which I could get anywhere, I ordered a Hurley's Lager. I like how the beer menu lets you know the taste of a beer by categories. The menu is pictured below. I got a salad and cod soup. I usu don't get salads from pubs, but I had a heavy dinner and breakfast. The salad was fine but the soup was fantastic! It reminded me of a Manhattan clam chowder but not as tangy. The bathrooms were clean, but that was midday with few customers. This is a good gamewatching place for drinks, or a nice place for food. read more

My wife and I were supposed to come here for a US election watch party for expats that got crashed by Canadians who had no idea who were running. It was way too crowded to get a table so we went to Brutopia next door until around 1am when we came here. The beer selection was decent and the staff was friendly but quite stressed. It does have a nice rustic decor of an Irish pub. read more

Couldn't say enough good things about this place, wow. I was craving good Irish food for a bit and boy this did not disappoint. Not only was our waitress super funny and helpful, but the food was exactly what we were looking for. We ordered the Irish beef stew and corned beef and cabbage. Everything was so flavorful and tender, what a great spot to hang out and socialize with nice music in the background! read more

Very dirty, loud, obnoxious Irish pub, filled with drunk and rambunctious 18 year olds. It took about 20 minutes to get our drinks, though our server was very kind. You can tell the bartenders were used to people overstaying their welcome as he yelled at everyone to get out once the bar closed. The security guard was more courteous and came around and quietly told people when they needed to leave. read more

Cool spot to stop by for a drink or two. Went with my wife and cousins after a concert nearby. They were only serving drinks. They had a live band playing inside with the music being played in the speakers outside. Really cool spot and excellent service. read more

Popped in after work on Friday and was lucky enough to see the world renowned Doug working the taps downstairs at Hurley's. The Guinness was fresh and Doug's pours were on point. It's always lovely to hear live music in the nooks of this lovely establishment. The staff were very warm and welcoming and I would highly recommend sliding into this historic pub for a grand ol time. read more

Great ambiance, live music with a Guinness nothing better. Never had to wait for my next beer, service was always ready to help.

We visited Hurley's for the first time the other night. We were in the upstairs room where the Harris/Imbecile Debate was going on. The room was packed and a bit understaffed. Having said that the single bartender working was amazing. He managed to not only work the crowed bar, but he also took food orders and delivered them to people's tables- all with a relaxed smile. He was slammed for hours. It is for this reason I am giving them 5 stars. There was one waitress on duty, but she seemed to spend much time on socializing with tables, unaware of people wanting to place an order. The food was excellent and very reasonable priced and we will be back. It's an incredibly friendly place. Thank you. read more

Very friendly and professional staff, many choices of beer on tap as well as a great selection of whiskey (Irish and scotch). Live music every night, we loved our experience! Drinks are well priced read more

Service was professional and food was delish! Would recommend! Beer and whiskey options were great!

Fist time visiting, sat down, outside, waitress kept ignoring us, I asked for a cocktail menu, and she yelled at me to hold on and gave me an angry look. We got up and left...as we were leaving she was laughing at us. Never going back, device is everything at a bar. read more

Pretty good pub, but there are so many options nearby, I don't think it would necessarily be my first choice. Inside, the decor is your typical dark pub, so we sat on the patio. Service was friendly and attentive--our server did a great job managing the tables outside as well as her inside tables. My first beverage was lovely, but I could tell they were getting a little busier after that because my second stout was not pulled as well and the glass was sloppy. I was glad that I sat near the wall on the patio instead of at the sidewalk because the panhandlers were incredibly persistent. One guy worked the tables at the sidewalk for a solid half-hour, and the pub staff didn't really try to do anything to help the patrons there. Had I been on that side of the patio, I think I would have left. read more

I loved this place that I came here twice during my trip!!!! The Guinness on tap was the best Guinness I've ever had. The other night I came, I got the Irish car bomb. They have a lot of different sections to enjoy your time. They have darts too! Of course this Irish pub had live music and the band was amazing. They asked for any recommendations for songs too This is a must place to come to read more

Friendly bartenders. Yummy vodka. Great atmosphere. Very lively and busy, but not too busy.

Walking through the streets of downtown, we came across this Irish pub and decided to see what it was all about. The inside looked very traditional with dim lighting, music and a crowd of people drinking and having a great time. Since we came here solely for drinks that's really all I can base this review on... so let's get started. The drink menu was filled with unique beers and cocktails. What I was impressed with the most was how much the total ended up being for the amount my boyfriend and I ordered. Let me just break this down: we ordered beers, 2 Irish car bombs, 2 Jameson pineapples, two shots of what the bartender named "burnt waffles" (we asked for something good but not too sweet and that was the result) and I believe 2 more shots of a specific type of whiskey I cannot remember. May I add, the shots, as well as the beers and drinks were not small or skimp on alcohol, which is always a plus. We estimated what the total would be and were so shocked that it didn't even come close. BUT, what I will say is that the tax sucks anywhere in Canada lol, so of course it bumped it up a little more. Prices based on the drinks alone though are a steal. The burnt waffle shot, highly recommended. The crowd inside included people of all ages. It had a good amount of locals, students, tourists and what I assume to be regulars. Service was really quick too! The overall atmosphere and vibe at this pub was right down my alley. Causal, but a great place to have a night out. If you're the type of person who enjoys drinks that creep up and hit you at just the right time, this is your spot. read more

Gord and I had supper this evening at Hurley's Irish Pub. It's a cute pub. There was a Celtic band playing in little room we were in ... and they were really good! Gord ordered a burger and onion rings. He said they were really good. I ordered wings (medium) and a half order of nachos with tomatoes and cheese. Both were fun and delicious. Alison was our server and she took good are of us. read more

Went after dinner to listen to music and have a Guinness. Lucked out because they had a fun 3-piece Irish band. Didn't eat there.

First time visiting Montreal and had to check out this pub. Great ambiance and friendly staff. We will definitely try the food next time. Drinks and entertainment were awesome. read more

Avoid fish and chips and rude waitress ( small female with glasses) here. Fries came literally black, sogged in oil, dripping and soft as cotton. Even next table commented seeing my plate that oil in frier must be weeks old. Server was rude to quarrel with me to say fries (that are dripping oil, bent on both ends of fork) are perfectly fine and she still expected tips. One star as they had beer available. read more

I agree with several other reviews. Staff is bias. They ignored us because we were not locals. Can't comment on service because we never got seated. Bar tenders intimidated us with arms crossed. Do not recommend this place to anyone not local. Very poor commentary for Canada. read more

We celebrated a friends birthday here last week! The pub has a great vibe and very chill seating with lounge chairs and sofas. The food and drinks were good, however I wouldn't come back for the food. Will come again for the drinks and vibe!! read more

Awesome food. Got the French onion soup which had hints of Guinness inside and tons of onion. The Irish beef stew was perfect. Melt in your mouth potatoes and meat. Really pleasantly surprised. Friends got the chicken tenders and nachos. Their fries are really really good. Buttery good. Kind of want to know how they fry them so well. The chicken was lightly fried and had spices mixed in so it had a bit of bite after eating but still great none the less. Next time I want to try their poutine with those dang frites. Service was alright. Really nice waiters compared to the McKibbins where we went first before getting rudely ignored as we tried to get a seat. We walked out and drove here. So we were pleased by the friendliness. We grabbed a seat but it felt like no one was around so there was a bit of a wait. It was also really really loud due to some rowdy people at the bar but that was to be expected. Weirdest thing is that they don't have Shepherds pie. Kind of Irish pub staple but the stew more than made up for it. read more

A trip to Montreal would not be complete without a mandatory night out at Hurley's Irish Pub! This place is one of my all-time favorite Irish pubs outside of New York. Central downtown location, situated along Rue Crescent off the main Ste. Catherine's Ouest, makes this a perfect pre night out stop - or spend the entire night here like I did. Hurley's is housed in an old Brownstone and has a cavernous feel to it with many nooks to settle in to. The main floor has a small but loaded centrally located bar. Nightly, traditional Irish musicians usually fill the back and produce some real authentic Irish tunes for a nice vibe. Upstairs also has nightly music, but usually more contemporary musicians - think U2 cover bands. During the winter months, the upstairs has nice fireplace going to sit around while you down your pints of Guinness. My friends and I stopped in for a couple of pints on our way out and found out the band SOLSTICE was playing this night! We saw them play last year here. They were so good that we decided to change our plans and stay here to catch this extremely talented band. We're glad we did because within moments of them starting, the place seriously packed out! (Think of 40 Irish jiggers in a room that holds 20 - lmfao, it was insane!) Service was great as always! Don't understand these reviewers who claim to have had cold and indifferent service? These folks are so welcoming and hospitable. Never had one bad experience any of the times I went here. They serve pretty decent pub food as well; we split nachos platter $11.95 (enough for 3), Hurley's burger $8.95, and Guinness Stew $15.50. Thanks for another great night out, we had such a blast and can't wait for next time!!! read more

My favorite pub in Montreal! I personally love visiting this place, particularly during the winter months and watch hockey games with friends. There's plenty of beer on tap, at decent prices and service is generally efficient for a pub despite having to answer the silliest questions by new patrons. Let me break this down. There is close to 40 beers on tap. DO NOT ask the waitress "What's on tap?". You're wasting your time. You're wasting her time. Get up beforehand and take a looksie. If you didn't, excuse yourself and go take a looksie instead of asking this silly question. Make a couple of mental notes and ask her your specific beer questions. Not only are they quite pretty and friendly but also quite knowledge of their beers! Once your questions are answered, order away. I'm also a fan of their Guinness Stew. It's hearty and memorable. Is it cold outside? Yes? Then this will hit the spot along with your favorite beer(s) on the side. My only issue about the place? Location! Parking is bloody difficult around these parts, especially on game nights. Expect to either pay for parking, to find parking FAR FAR AWAY or being lucky to find a parking space within a mile of this place! read more

We came here we on the advice of a friend and we left impressed. It is quite large but has a great warm feel to the bar. We got seats on the upstairs balcony and service was friendly and quick. They offer Ploughman's lunches which was a score with us. A nice size and fresh bread and cheeses. Their French Onion Soup was delicious- they do not scrimp on the cheese at all. Very fun feel with good food. read more

A moment-by-moment description of why hurling might be better than going to Hurley's: Our friend tried to order us some veggie burgers before we got there, but they came back and told her that they had just run out. This was just in time for the kitchen to close. The waitress refused to list the beers on tap ("Listen, there are 38.") or to give us a menu listing them. She also neglected to bring me water, which was the only thing I asked for after 16 hours of flying internationally. She cautioned us that one of the IPAs was bitter... A friend politely disagreed, and she kindly and condescendingly informed us that IPAs are bitter. It was helpful, considering I had chosen that particular night to taste my first beer. #puttingthe'patron'inpatronizing It was overpriced, about $9 CA for one particular pint. And the worst part? *no one* would join our friend in trying to get her Irish jig on to the live fiddle music. Luckily, we had four more days to change our minds about the city from our introduction via this basement bar. Know what else is underground? Hades. And hipsters. It's no coincidence. read more

I really had a good time at this pub. You have extremely cool live Irish music, nice selection of beers, lovely staff and cool atmosphere. The only downside is that they have porter beer only in bottles but I can live with that. The beer is a bit pricey (about 7-8$ per pint), I heard the burgers are not amazing but the stews are and they make great fries. SO if you are looking for a place to have a good time, enjoy great vibes and drink cold beer...you just found it! read more

We went to this place based on Yelp rating and ended up very dissapointed. Beer selection was good, crowd was great, but the place and services was way bellow our expectation. Knowing the quality and standard of other pubs and bars around Montreal, this place was a big no. Service was super slow and if you are a beer lover, please don't sit on the bar. Once you see how is the beer treated, foam putted on side in a glass and later added into a pitcher.. Wow! The best was when I paid and gave "only" 10% tip and then was educated about how the waitress is paying for me to sit there if I don't tip at least 15%. I am sorry, you have to earn it. ...so many better places around, where they treat you as a customer as well as a friend. Never again Hurley's for me. read more

Some serious fun times. Great live music on a Saturday night. This place was happening and not your thump thump music a few blocks north. If you're really drunk you may even be able to find me lucky charms. read more

Draught St-Ambroise Pale Ale!! That, and a large selection of whiskies (and whiskeys); decent, if somewhat bleakly-surrounded terrasse for warm-weather drinking; good, sometimes great kitchen; Irish and other folk music on cold winter nights; the extremely good-natured staff and owner; all these things together make this place my regular haunt. What makes me want to die there, though, is the Hurley's Fry-Up, an inexpensive weekend breakfast platter featuring a sweat-inducing array of 100% cholesterol-rich transfats garnished with a pretty little slice of orange. I ask politely and get mine no eggs, extra meat (swoon). That, with a pint of the local copper ale and a pony of Redbreast, on a December Saturday mid-afternoon, with nothing else in particular to do? Blinding. Just f*cking blinding. read more

Long wait for a waitress to take our order and an inordinate amount of time waiting for her to bring two Guinnesses to the table. And then a long wait for the check. We were going to stay and order some food but bailed. I don't be back. No wi-fi, or at least if there was, I wasn't able to connect to it. read more

We went there on Friday night with a group. First 10 people arrived in time. The friends came back to back after and the girl who took the orders started complaining... She couldn't follow the orders. I know it's not easy but pls don't do it front of the customers. First of all it was a reservation so I didn't really understand why they couldn't put someone there who is ready for this kind of job and pressure also. The girl was nice except when she was making faces... After the drink which was good (cider and Grand Marnier) I got my Murph burger. It was really disappointing... Thanks god I got with poutine. It was ok. I really like Irish pubs, but it's not gonna be my favourite. Sorry but it's maximum 3* from me... I don't think so I'm coming back. read more

If you are looking for an Irish pub with friendly staff and a fun atmosphere, this is the place to go. If you're looking for luxury and a gourmet meal, this is not the place to go. The charcuterie plate and chicken fingers were terrific. The waitress was friendly and helpful. The beer and wine were exactly what you would expect in an Irish pub. We left full, happy, and drunk - what more could you want with an inexpensive pub?! read more

Went for dinner at 6.30, myself the wife and kids, bouncer at the door said no families allowed as per Canadian law in a bar/ restaurant. Not sure if this was because my son was wearing a NY rangers jersey, but I found it really strange after being in there in the afternoon and the waitress said come back at 6.30 as the hockey crowd would have left for the game. Maybe he was sore over Rangers making the playoffs and Montreal not. Nevertheless not going back, sincerely yours a disappointed Wexford man. read more

A dark tavern, style bar. Friendly and fast service. The poutine here was very good. French fry's dark golden brown, almost burnt, with a snap when you bite into them. The gravy was thick and hot and the cheese curd was delicious. read more

I want to give this place the benefit of the doubt that we visited on one of their "off" days. I visited Montreal this month with my boyfriend and read so many raving reviews about this place that we had to stop by. I was disappointed to say the least. It's dated, smelt of sour beer and my chair was wet from an unknown source lol. Upon arrival nobody greeted us, nobody told us where to sit, and we weren't given menus for a good 5 to 10 minutes. Finally after ordering and receiving our drinks, we thought about actually leaving. My Kronenbourg was not a Kronenbourg (maybe a Keith's or Stella) and it was beyond flat and warm, then my boyfriend's Guinness draft was sloppy and served in a generic glass (not to our standards). And maybe avoid this place on hot days as there is no air conditioning. However, in good-old Canadian fashion, we decided to give the restaurant a fair chance and order some food. I ordered the classic fish & chips and my boyfriend ordered the beef stew. Both dishes were good, but nothing extraordinary. I hope to visit Montreal again soon, and hope to visit this particular place again just to see if we can out-do our first experience. Cheers! read more
