ONION RINGS!!! I visited for dinner and found the restaurant relatively quiet, but unfortunately, our service was a bit lacking. It was difficult to get sides of sauce, water refills, or even the check in a timely manner. I ordered the Bookmaker Steak Sandwich with onion rings. While the sandwich was generously filled with meat, it didn't quite deliver on flavor. On the other hand, the onion rings were a highlight- crispy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The batter held up beautifully, with each bite cleanly separating from the onion without any pull-apart mess. Overall, I'd be open to giving this place another try, perhaps with a different entrée, as I believe there's potential here, and those onion rings are definitely worth returning for. read more

Came in late - like 11pm I think!! - for some dinner. I had bangers and mash. It was fine, nothing too great. Also had a poutine which was pretty good! I think I liked it better than the bangers and mash to be honest. I didn't have any beer or anything but they looked to have a good selection of beer and booze. There was live music, guy playing guitar and singing. He was pretty good. Server was very nice and helped with answering questions. read more

Very good food, especially their Jambalaya special on Tuesdays. Friendly and professional service and a good ambiance. My only concern is that the permanent (a la carte) food menu could have some more variety. read more

Fun pub vibes! Karaoke night on Tuesday's, as legend says, for the last 18yrs Had the fish & chips. Everything was great, even the cole slaw, which is where the term 'Slaw' comes from, theirs is actually pretty good! Might have to see this weekend what it's like! And they have a shepard's pie to try! Paul was the most attentive bar tender this trip! Glass was never empty and service was smart! read more

Excellent Irish pub. Very busy for a Wednesday night, seemed like several office holiday party were taking place - everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. I sat at the bar for dinner and watched the four bartenders crank out the drinks, very fun to watch. I had the Guinness stew for dinner, and it was great, paired with a Guinness, followed by a Smithwick's. read more

A legit Irish pub. From the ambiance, to the drinks, and too the food! Have been with work groups on several occasions, and everyone has always been happy with the experience. I usually have the shepard's pie although the chicken leak pie is pretty incredible too and has an amazing crispy crust! read more

Always a great atmosphere to hang out with friends. The service is always great and the menu is really robust with an excellent assortment of unique pub fare. read more

I wish the had .5 in the ratings. As this is a 3.5 resto. Live music was excellent. My chicken pie was pretty good but service was below average. My daughters fish and chip was not good at all as I tried it too and found it to dry. read more

Great place and staff is awesome. Go there everytime when in town for business and always a good meal and beer is ice cold!@

Shout out to McKibbins, Pointe-Claire! Super dinner "out"! Staff was friendly, informed and thoroughly respected safety guidelines. My companion raved about the Bushmill chicken, a little heavy with the potatoes but it is an Irish pub, after all ;) The chicken was moist, tender and the sauce had a lovely whiskey flavour; an overall, pleasant dish. I went with the, amusingly, named "Irish grilled cheese". It was a grilled cheese, leveled up; served on country style bread, lightly grilled, with tomato, bacon, lettuce and a mayonnaise, chive and parsley spread. Terrific creamy coleslaw and the French fries were perfect. Fantastic pub fare. Bravo to McKibbins for maintaining quality in food & service, while maintaining safety guidelines. read more

Thirsty Thursdays Dirty Shirley's 2 dollars for ladies. I used to come here back in the day to drink and dance on the speaker which was the cool thing to do believe it or not. Pretty hard to get drinks as the place is over packed with students but you're sure to bump in to someone you know. Food wise I haven't eaten there so I can't say much. Line ups almost wrap around the building so it's best to become chummy with the bouncers so you can skip the line with your friend :) read more

I came here one evening with family as we also had a coupon for some specials. It's my first time coming here and I must admit I was a little disappointed with the food. We shared each other's dishes and for the fish and chips I found the fish to be just mediocre. However, I'd like to french fries. They are your typical French Canadian french fry that you can get at a number of diners as well... But I really like these types of fries. I had the best steak and kidney pie. That also was just average. I think the only thing that I really liked about this place was the ambulance. They had some live music and the people serving seem to be enjoying themselves. We are also in a little room in the back that was nicely decorated so that made it easier for us to converse with each other. If you're coming for some great food, perhaps order something other than what we did. If you come just to converse have a few drinks and to enjoy each other's company and this would be a good place, maybe, to come. read more

Decided to watch Price shut the Americans out in the Olympics with a friend. Service was great and efficient. I recommend the Prime Rib steam. It was very good. The taters and veggies also hit the spot. I like the mild wings as well as the potatoes. The cheesecake WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD. It was sooooo good. read more

Good beer selection and the food was great. Service was a little slow and inattentive even with very few customers, but it could've just been an off day. The decor is good, and the restaurant and restrooms were clean. In all honesty, I chose this place due to proximity, but it certainly didn't disappoint me and I will return when I'm in town. read more

The ambulance is great the service is great drinks a greatAnd you'll have a good time

Ate there last night while here on business. Great service and great food. Mel was behind the bar and offered all her recommendations and some whitty humor. I enjoyed how I was welcomed and treated Had the fish and chips and they were great. I would return just to have the bangers and mash. read more

Room-temp, frothy beer and overpriced food. Also close whenever they feel like it, so the hours they post on here don't mean anything. Went during covid and none of the workers were wearing masks, either. There was dried liquor on the floor that made it very smelly and sticky. Just an overall bad look hygiene-wise. Wouldn't recommend to my hungriest or thirstiest friend. read more

The staff are great, the beer is good, the service is fair and they can do better with the food.

Watched the hockey game, had the french fries with brown sauce and steak tips. flavorful and filling. One beer was good enough. In a strip mall. went once. Dont need to go back on my next trip. read more

Came in here on a busy Saturday night. First off the service was good the waitress was very nice and always came by to check on us. I ordered the hot which wasn't very spicy but the size of the wings were big and very filling. I got the extreme the next time I came in and they are more on a medium hot and very good. They came with fries and they get them right that are very addicting. My husband ordered the onion soup which was ok for me he loved it. If you like Guinness beer it has that in the soup. The shepards pie was good and the mashed potatoes were very good. I ordered the whiskey chicken and it was topped with onions rings and the whole dish was delicious. The portion size is very big as well. I will definitely be back. read more

One of the most decent pubs in the West-Island to grab a beer and some food. The food is surprisingly good and served quick. There are a variety of beers on tap, including ciders. Service is quick and friendly, but they require you to pay after each order made. I don't know if this is just something I experienced with certain waitresses, but I find it annoying having to pay and tip every 20min for a new beer or plate of fries. This location does not compare to its downtown counterparts, but it still offers a warm, pubbish environment. read more

I have had the occasion to hit this pub twice this week. The first time was so good I had to come back to see if it was just a fluke. It wasn't... Even though this location is in a strip-mall (you can hit a bookstore, grocery store and toy store when you're there!), when you step inside the door, you are transported into a true irish pub. Both nights (a Monday and Wednesday) were packed with people - young/old, couples/singles). But this is Yelp - which is about food - and this place solidly deserves 4 stars (if not more). Monday night, I had the special - corned beef sandwich, cole slaw and fries. REALLY REALLY good. I have yet to figure out the difference between "Montreal Smoked Meat "and "Corned Beef". In fact, they call fries "chips" and the slaw was "creamed cabbage". Call me an ignornant American, but it was still wonderful. The second night, I had the Shepards Pie, which was equally as good. It was odd that it was served with a salad. The light salad clashed with the heaviness of the SP. My only critique of the SP was that it did not have more veggies - where are the peas, green beans, etc? It was ground beef, corn, and mashed potatoes on top. TVs are a plenty here - perfect for watching a hockey game. There is also a stage, but there were no musical acts scheduled the nights we were there. Service is attentive and the atmosphere is very casual. This is my new favorite bar in suburban YUL... read more

Had a nice dinner here on a fine summer evening where we had the chance to sit on the patio. Interesting that this pub is in a strip mall but nonetheless it's in a nice quieter area with ample parking. I came with a friend and had my 4 year old daughter along with me when were at the greeter entrance they mentioned "law states that after 7 PM kids are not allowed. It was 6:30 PM and I bluntly asked "are you going to kick us out at 7 then"? to which they replied "no". The menu comes out on a "newspaper type print". My friend mentioned the Shepard's pie was very good there! For the meal we ordered the irish spring rolls as an appetizer? They were okay sort of tasted like bland indian samosas! For the main meal I ordered the fish and chips and a full order of shepards pie for my daughter. Fish and chips were great! Two pieces of crispy light haddock on a bed of chips with coleslaw and tartar on the side. Washed it down with a pint and all was happy! True to their word they didn't kick us out. We left around 7:20PM. Prices were very reasonable and food and beer was good! Only complaint is that people were smoking on the patio. MIP probably deems this as outside but it's really gross to eat while people are smoking in this day and age!!! I can't imagine how gross restaurants were in the 70's and 80's when people smoked like chimneys! Otherwise a nice dining experience! read more

Great Irish pub. It has an authentic feel about it. The menu selection is good. I had the shepherds pie and wasn't disappointed. The beer selection is good but I opted for Guinness which is my default choice in a pub. I saw reviews mentioning the sometimes slow service and I experienced the same thing. It wasn't busy but I still had to wait a while to get my check and it took flagging down the waitress to do that. But the service otherwise was good. I recommend for anyone wanting a good Irish pub near the airport. read more

I love this place. I'm partial to Irish pubs regardless of location, and this place is consistent. Excellent speedy service, the food is tasty, and they actually have a great veggie burger with super tasty fries. The Guinness is poured correctly. Lots of TVs to watch hockey and lots of regulars. I come here every time I come to the west island for work. I miss the soya veggie burger, the bean version is good, but nowhere near as good as the fake meat version. read more

A great "local" pub with friendly staff. Most nights have live music. The food menu isnt bad, but wish they had a few more healthy options. read more

For some reason McKibbin's is one of the go-to's of my friends so I gave it a go about a year ago. I understood why very quickly! The atmosphere is nice, surprisingly not noisy even though the bar is big (probably due to the very good placements of heavy duty wooden walls that diminish the sound), good quality furniture and appropriate spacial management for seating, very welcoming bar and a friendly staff. The food is also decent. It's at McKibbin's where I fell in love with sweet potato fries! There is also a stage for the occasional bands. I've heard two play which were mediocre at best. Surprisingly a lot of security but I understood the need after I've seen a bad drunk threatening to get the Russian mafia to shoot the pub up after getting thrown out of a bar. I've never tried The Rim Reaper Challenge as I already passed 20 minutes under a sink with tears rolling down my cheeks after trying Cage Aux Sports' 9-1-1 hot wings and didn't wish to permanently damage my taste buds but it seems quite fun if you think you're up to it! +1 for deep fried pickles! (I liked them and I usually hate pickles 0.o!) The one thing that killed it for me is the price of the beer. 19.95$ FOR A PITCHER OF MOOSEHEAD?!? WHAT THE F****! McKibbin's has without a doubt the most expensive pitchers of piss-tier beer I've ever seen. read more

We went to McKibbins's Pointe Claire for supper yesterday (Friday, July 26, 2019). We go quite often and are always extremely pleased with the meal. On Fridays I always pick the Fish of the Day, which is always delicious except for yesterday. The Fish of the Day was deep fried (it usually isn't) and greasy with a buttery sauce over it which gave it a very greasy taste. I don't know if there was a new chef or if the chef was having an off-day but definitely not up to par. read more

With limited choices in the west island, adding a mckibbons is great. The ambience of this particular location has much to be desired, however. Lacking the cozy atmosphere of other Irish pubs, this one feels cavernous and the sound carries making it difficult to talk. Still, like the other (better) mckibbons locations, the food is good and there are some good beers on tap. read more

This review is on McKibbin's at Pointe-Claire. Great place to drink, eat and chat with friends. Been there for lunch, great and efficient service. You will not run out of mayo nor ketchup, I got huge basket just for myself! WIFI available. read more

Pointe Claire location was generally a favourite pub to have dinner. However last night's dinner was well below expectations. 3 very small potato skins for $12. Spicy chicken sandwich was all sriracha with tasteless coleslaw. Hamburger was really meh. Other pubs are working hard and offer much better food these days. read more

To this day I have love every single visit. Always fresh great price and spectacular service. Menu is never boring always amazing. read more

Second update: I have to commend McKibbins as the past two times I have gone since my last update have been enjoyable. They managed our large parties beautifully and we weren't served flat beer this time. Perhaps going on a less busy day, such as a Tuesday (both visits were on a Tuesday), is ideal. Update: Manager doesn't know how to handle serving flat watered down Guinness. I had to update my review based on two new experiences, specifically the one on Friday, February 3rd, 2017. We had a wonderful server who handled our large party very well, but the way the manager handled a situation regarding bad beer left us all a little frustrated. So my original four star review has gone down to a three. Three of my friends ordered Guinness. Two of them got theirs several minutes before the third and there was a clear difference in taste. The third was delicious like a Guinness should be, but the two earlier ones tasted like water had been added to them and there wasn't even a centimetre of foam when they arrived at the table. When we informed the waitress she spoke with the manager who said they didn't change the barrel so my friends were stuck with the terrible pints they received. The waitress tried once more and brought one of my colleague's glasses for the manager to try. This is where things get worse. She brought back the glass and asked my friend to try it to see if it was better. My friend not wanting to make a scene or to cause a fuss said yes. She said the manager had simply changed the glass. The manager LITERALLY just poured the terrible beer from one glass to another thinking it would make it better. Now if the glass was the issue and it had affected the taste I would give this pub a lower score because that means the sanitation must be terrible. But it wasn't, so I will leave it at 3 stars for now. The manager did the same for the second friend, but upon learning of the disgusting supposed fix they both admitted to her it was still terrible. Everyone was still able to taste the difference between the two bad pints and the good one. The waitress was genuinely apologetic because there was nothing she could do. So dear manager of that day, when your clients tell you that the beer is terrible and there is a visual difference between the beers maybe you should give them two new beers and not simply switch glasses. Also, did I mention my friends had to pay for the undrinkable beer? Also, do not order the regular nachos. I've tried them on two occasions and it's simply dry nacho chips with barely any toppings. Both times we left the plates half eaten. Of course, I will continue attending this establishment as it is the closest watering hole to my work. I just hope my future experiences are akin to the first two times I've gone there and unlike the last two times. Old review TLDR: Great beer selection, hearty food, and great service. Great place to go to after work, but it fills up fast with big parties. The servers are sweethearts and will do their best to accommodate you. They have a lot of brews and ciders to choose from, and they make cocktails if you aren't a fan of beers. The food is also good, but it does take some time which they kindly warn you about on the menu. McKibbins has a warm and friendly atmosphere making it a the pub to go to in the Pointe-Claire area. read more

Avoid at all costs: Local gangs are known to Have pickpocket rings working inside this place. They steal your wallet and immediately start spending at the surrounding Futureshop and Fairview. (WATCH YOUR PURSE AND WALLET, IF YOU GO) One star for takeout. Avoid at all costs. We were a gang and ordered wings, guiness beef nachos, chowder, and fish/chips to go for the Heat vs Lakers... bad idea. The chowder was put in an foldover, aluminum base with cardboard cover (the type you would use for chicken and rice or pasta) and OF COURSE the liquid went all over the other food. They have to be retarded to use this packaging for soup- my god- not exactly air tight guys! Ok so the soup thing was bad, and it just went downhill from there... the nachos were packaged with no thought either. Four portions worth of nachos were bundled into layers of aluminum foil into the form of a silver canon ball à la Jack Sparrow. So the warm beef softened all the chips into soggy crap. Also, not enough salsa for a to-go order. Anyway, it's clear they have no to-go experience and don't care about investing in real packaging to protect their food integrity. My friends hadn't tried McK before, so I looked like an idiot for actually recommending McK for our gamenight. Usually, I would call the manager, but honestly this takeout experience was so lame and careless- I wasn't in the mood to give helpful feedback. (I was too busy entertaining guests and making excuses for the weak food) But all was saved, because the game was amazing (as always) and the MTL microbrew we had stocked was perfect enough to wash everything away;-) read more

I don't even know where to begin with this one. I've been coming here since I was 18. Food and drinks have always been great. Today I went with some coworkers we were about 12. The food was on point the drinks were fine. I don't normally leave bad comments but I have to be honest. First off we got paper plates for our food because they decided to be lazy and cut down on the dishwashing. I told myself it's fine I won't say anything about it, it's one thing. The waitress was perfect but it was so busy she delegated some work to the bus boy. He had absolutely no idea what he was doing. He gave away plates to other tables when it was ours and vice versa. This happened about three times. Again, I said to myself just let it go he's probably new. I then realized our table hadn't been cleared once. There were dirty paper plates, napkins and cups that should've been cleared. At one point I couldn't take it anymore. Everyone had been done eating for a good hour and a half. I got up and cleared the table myself. However, despite all of this, i have to give props to our waitress Melanie. She knew what she was doing and only because of her I am giving 2 stars instead of 1. All I have to say is please hire more people like her. If everyone was trained and experienced like here, I wouldn't be leaving this terrible review. Sorry McGibbins, but tonight was very dissapointing. read more

The first "true" hot wings I have ever eaten. The Rim Reaper is no joke and there will be consequences in the bathroom the following day!

Everything is delicious here. Started off with their local beer which was actually delicious for 6$ a pint, and had some of the best sweet potato fries I have had. Next came the chicken leek pie, which was to die for! Perfectly crispy on the top and you can tell it is homemade by the flavour and quality of everything. It came with the most buttery mashed potatoes that were incredibly flaky! I cleaned my plate and will for sure be returning. Only thing was my waitress forgot about us and we had to wait 20 minutes to order food, and the place was only half full. Food 5/5 very worth it for the price, service 3/5 read more

I honestly don't know where to start, why not from the very beginning? My friend and I entered Mckibbins it was pretty empty we stood there for awhile waiting for a hostess/waitress and eventually had to seat ourselves until a waitress finally saw us seated and decided she wanted to serve us. After we ordered, we had to flag our waitress down and definitely never saw her again until we flagged her down for our check. Going into the food: we ordered Irish Nachos (which come to a total of about $22-$24 ... for nachos... I mean) price isn't the issue if they were decently good that is. It cost $4 extra dollars for about 7 tiny pieces of what looked like chicken. To add: Irish pride is the greatest I've ever seen NOT here they weren't even showing love to McGregor. Really, really disappointed. read more

Recently I went to McKibbin's Irish Pub. Truthfully I'm not a picky eater nor someone who often complaints. Yet, our lunch that we had was horrible. May sound harsh, but it was simply horrible. Yes, the service was good and our waitress was kind and polite.. But not more than that. We went on a Friday, and it was also a clear sign that they were short staffed. An Irish Pub on a Friday short staff.. Not at all a good impression. Keep in mind this location recently had a shooting during a fight on a weekend night. We had ordered fish and chips(We were told that's their specialty) and a French onion soup. The French onion soup tasted like salty thick water with colour. The bread which the soup should have, was not toasted, therefore it was a soggy old tasting piece of bread. The onions were not fully cooked, therefore they tasted crunchy. The cheese was a lump, not beautifully melted as it should be. The Fish and chips, were incredibly greasy. Yes, I know it's fried food. The level of greasiness was simply absurd. It absorbed through the paper and dripped a bit from the one piece of fish. Yes, just one piece. The batter on the fish was slipping off each time it was cut, to only realize how much grease there was in this dish. The fries were Ok, if you like fries that taste as if they were warmed up and ,not freshly made. Luckily our waitress never asked us how our food was, nor if we needed anything else. Otherwise, I would have shared these exact comments to her. I know it's not her fault. But, if a simple bowl of soup can't be well prepared and your specialty was disappointing as well. I think it gives me a good reason not to return. Again. Very disappointing. read more
