Food was decent. We shared the sheppard pie, potatoes skins and the apple ala made dessert. Prices we ok and plenty of drink options. Some of the best beer selections here in Blue Mountain read more

They charged $16.59 for a Guinness. I get that it's St. Paddy's weekend, but that's criminal. THE WORST PART is they swapped their 20oz pint glasses for 16oz pours. That's over $1 an ounce. Criminal stuff. I'm a bar owner. I know how much a keg of Guinness costs. That's just straight greed. Don't go. Reading other reviews, I'm surprised they were as busy as they were. read more

Located at Blue Mountain Village. The patio has a fantastic view of blue mountain and a perfect place to people watch. The services is great, both our greeter and server were nice and friendly. The patio itself is lovely, the restaurant is old and dated. I can't say people come here for the food because the food is lacking. The fish and chips were just average, nothing special. My friend later that evening got sick after eating her meal. I didn't feel the greatest after as well. I think I would probably only come here for drinks. It is a nice place to visit and sit out on the patio but overall the food is not up to par! read more

Terrible service, served us the wrong dinks and didn't own up to the error. I would not recommend

Pretty good vibes and food! The poutine was a little too salty for my taste, but everyone else said it was good and not too salty, so I don't know haha. The lady that was with us the entire time was new but she was super nice and having fun too. We got everything we ordered fairly quickly. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would, two trips in a row now the security staff has been insanely inappropriate and on a power trip. In 2025, dropping my 60 year old mothers ID on the floor and refusing to pick it up, in a weird power play stand off. Groping women on the dance floor, additionally. My understanding of security staff is that the goal should be de-escalation but every time there's an issue or problem they approach with a large level of force, often turning the situation into a significant issue. I watched them all be punched by men in the bar last year and last night was met with similar hostility, even hitting me aggressively with the door as we were leaving. What happened to blue mountain, and the good vibes. read more

This place looks awesome from the outside but don't let it's looks fool you, my partner and I asked for a table inside and we were stuck in a dark corner with slow service (waiter was very polite however). Paid $56 dollars for 2 miller lites, a vodka cranberry that tasted like the vodka was missing and 4 potato skins (costed $16 and menu didn't say how many came with an order). Oh and to top it off I used the men's washroom before leaving and found no actual toilets just 2 urinals, and one of them was almost overflowing with urine. All of this almost made me want to stay for the 9:30 live music! read more

Guinness was meh.. could be colder. But no sweat it was a hot day and I understand. Paid the $160 + tip, (20%) bill and left. Walked around blue mountain. After 20 mins, Kids had to really go to the washroom, refused service. Empty establishment. Will never return. read more

Tempered expectations being in the Blue Mountain Village. To me, you can't be expecting anything but a serviceable meal in between skiing the slopes. Pretty much spot on. Was a bit scared with all the poor reviews but I had a decent time here. Staff were friendly, given the place was not busy so the kitchen was fast and food was not bad. Ordered the Fish and Chips (19) which was pretty good! Good fish and loaded with fries as well as a mini coleslaw. There's probably better options in the village but for a decent pub, this one's not bad! read more

Gord and I had a late lunch today on the patio at MJ Byrne's in the Blue Mountain Village ... we had a lovely view of the mountain. I ordered an Mj's Burger (with no lettuce or onions) and fries. It was a good substantial burger and surprisingly not dry. Gord ordered a Classic Cheese Burger with havarti cheese and onion rings. He said it was a good burger. I'm not a big fan of onion rings but his were good. Taylor was our server ... she was friendly and took good care of us. read more

I got their seafood pot pie but instead got a deconstructed pot pie with the pastry on the side. The seafood soup was very, very bland. I actually liked the salad dressing but the overall dish was very underwhelming. My friends seemed to enjoy their dishes like the fish and chips, and chicken curry. I didn't have high expectations since this is a restaurant at a food resort but wouldn't mind going back again to try something else. read more

Same as other mentioned on the comments ,If I can give zero stars or negative I will. Wait for at least 40 minutes and still no food on the table. keep waiting and say the food is delayed One of the knife also dirty Terrible restaurants and please avoid it read more

Good food, good service, and amazing ambiance. The fish and chips were good. The Irish stew was tasty, and the Caesar salad was acceptable overall. read more

Great vibe, amazing live music. BUT BUT BUT... ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT EHMMTHEY WATER DOWN ALL THEIR BOOZE. Please just raise you prices, I hate being scammed and lied to. I always order Jameson and can totally tell its watered down. When I accuse them they all have the exact same script. They pull out a new bootleg of Jameson and show me how it's sealed. Which makes no sense since that's not the bottle the served me from. It's exhausting calling them out repeatedly but there are no other options in the area. So just drink heavily before. Impossible to get a buzz here. Ireland would be so ashamed. Order beer! read more

If I could give a zero star, I would. Please AVOID this place at all cost unless you want food poisoning. After eating here, my husband and I were sick for 2 days. When we went back to the resort, we were chatting with staff from a nearby restaurant, and they informed us this restaurant has a bad reputation for making people sick. Don't eat here!!! read more

Decent place to grab a bite in the village. It's open late for live music and dancing but they stop serving food earlier in the night. We managed to squeak in right before this cutoff. It was a little confusing on where exactly to go to be seated. There wasn't a host inside the restaurant or on the patio. We actually wound up walking around the restaurant a few times until someone noticed us and offered us a seat. We actually shared a plate of fish and chips as a light dinner. The fish piece was a huge helping and served on a lot of fries. The fish was really crispy on the outside with the inside was flaky. The fries were also really good. The entrée was served with a small container of coleslaw, tartar sauce, and ketchup on the side. read more

Great spot for late night music! Came here on a Friday and Saturday night around 10pm and it was already packed. There was a $10 cover at the door on both nights. Large bar and plenty of space to dance! read more

Pros: amazing service top tier shepherds pie good cabbage and mashed potatoes. really great sauce on mashed potatoes. everything in the salad tasted and felt fresh. Great location with live music. Nice decor. Water tasted nice, perfect amount of ice Kilkenny tasted great Cons: Ham was painfully underwhelming. Urinals have no distance and no dividers. Paper towel was ON the sink. Some of the good salad was under the shepherds pie bowl A little too much salad. Not really a side dish. read more

We really liked our experience here! Not a long wait and our waiter was awesome. I got the chicken pot pie and thought it was sooooo good!!! Deconstructed. Everyone else liked their food too. read more

We came here on a whim after spending awhile try to decide which restaurant to get. After sitting down and ordering our food, we noticed that this restaurant had a low rating so we were a little worried initially. However, we were all very happy with our orders (we were a party of 9), and the service was very warm and welcoming! We even had three young kids with us, and one said the wrap was the best one she had ever eaten. I got the beef dip, and the beef was so juicy and tender it fell apart, and once dipped in the gravy was perfect. The bun was perfectly toasted and the fries that came with it were seasoned really well and were almost like a wedge fry which was really good. Would definitely suggest this place to anyone! read more

MJ Byrne's Irish Pub - Beef dip - Irish Near Me - Blue Mountains, Ontario

This review is based off of the poutine and short time I spent at MJ's. I was recently at Blue Mountain for a friend's birthday and we went mini golfing in the middle of the say then right after we decided to stop somewhere to get some food and a drink. We sat down and I decided to try the Side Punch IPA which was amazing and would recommend anyone to try it. After grabbing a drink we decided to maybe snack on something. I ordered the poutine and was completely taken back by how mediocre it was. Even though I do live in the United States and poutine isn't common to see around, I have had my fair share of poutine and would definitely not get the poutine next time around. read more

MJ Byrne's Irish Pub - Poutine - Irish Near Me - Blue Mountains, Ontario

While our server was very kind, this is probably the worst place in the village that we tried. Everything was quite bland, the options were slim( no salad on the menu), and costly for what you received. The nachos were what looked like cheese melted in the microwave and few olives. Left feeling underwhelmed for the cost especially. read more

The service at the tables is fine, the bartenders are quicker. On the weekends they have good bands and it's pretty well priced.

first time in blue mountain village and decided to eat at this pub. mistake made. didn't get me the poutine waiters are mumbling fish looks like literal plastic there also NO toilets in the men's washroom! very disappointed... read more

Service is horrible. Waited 20 minutes on patio with no service. 3 servers walked by us and said nothing. If I could give zero stars I would. Got up and walked two patios over and had a beer within 3 minutes. Avoid this place if you want to actually get a drink. Never did get to the food part. read more

Avoid this place that masquerades as an Irish pub. It is a pig with lipstick on. Granted they serve Guinness $16.50 plus tax per pint as well as Harp lager. All Canadian beers on tap are 16oz and are around $10 per drink. Food is average at best based on the 11 meals we had and thoughts passed on to me I left half of my Philly cheesesteak as there was not a lot of meat in it and tasted dry, the chips were cooked in oil that should have been changed prior to the chips turning dark brown. This restaurant has security guards that take their jobs way, way too seriously. Think of Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse then double it. II swear one of the guards stood beside our table and cracked his neck to the left and right. If he put his left hand to his left side he would have touched our table. But the best is one of the guards was wearing a bulletproof vest. Yes a bulletproof vest. Seriously give this place a pass. Save your money and eat elsewhere. read more

Very disappointed with this joint considering it has a great spot in the Village. We were seated inside - which I will say it was a good choice during COVID times because there is only 2 tables inside for social distancing - but that is probably the only good thing about this place. Now, time to list the things that went/are wrong with this place: 1. We were seated with no greeting by a server 2. The server came 10 minutes after being seated to ask what we wanted to drink 3. Our food came 47 minutes later and the server just threw the plates down and slid them to each of us (4 of us the table 4. We ordered 4 fish and chips plates and only 1 plate came with 1 lemon wedge 5. The poutine had 4 shreds of cheese ... I don't know about you but I think the line cook should go back to culinary school if they think that's sufficient. 6. When the server dropped off our plates, he didn't ask if we need anything or didn't even realize we didn't have any utensils - I didn't know eating with our hands was a new trend. When we asked for cutlery from another server, she ran to another 3 servers looking for cutlery. When I looked around, I saw a server quickly grab some cutlery which were probably just out if the wash and she was wrapping them up in tissue to give to us ... 10 minutes after we asked for cutlery - I think the food was cold by then. 7. When I asked to speak to the manager, the server hesitated. I only asked for the manager because I previously saw him just standing at the back and not attending to his staff or managing the floor flow. I called him to actually see him do work - like get ketchup and get more lemons ... things his servers can't attend to because they were swamped and it doesn't help when you have a manager that stands around. 8. Not once did a server come back to ask if we needed anything else or came by to refill the water or pop. 9. The oil they use to fry their fish and chips either hasn't be filtered in a week of the oil isn't properly changed on schedule. I am beyond disappointed at this place, especially because their at a place where people go to enjoy the winter activities at blue and pay a huge amount to lodge there. For anyone that rates this place more than 2 stars is either drunk or has COVID because their taste buds must be out of commission. The 10% tip we gave was more than generous. Service and food surpass the word "poor". If this is a franchise, the owner really needs to step in and either retrain their staff on basic restaurant server etiquette or just replace them all. *do not eat here - you're better off going to Wild Wings or even Pita Pit in the Village. This place isn't even worth getting drinks/alcohol from - you're better off buying from LCBO and bringing it back to your room/lodging. read more

Ordered onion rings as an appetizer and the MJ burger and Shepard's pie.. After 30 minutes of waiting the waitress comes back to tell us that someone pulled the slip off the kitchen lineup so the kitchen didn't know we ordered food (she used waitress terms that we didn't understand so we asked her to clarify). She apologized and said she put it back up... So we waited double the time for mediocre food. Never coming back since there are so many other options on the resort. Waitress never brought onion rings so we told her to forget it. The burger was standard and the Shepard's pie was very dry. read more

Absolute TERRIBLE customer service. If I could leave negative or 0 stars, I would. I am truly baffled at how this business treats and talks to their customers. As an individual who has worked in customer service for over 10 years, I have never been treated and talked to so disrespectfully. Swearing at customers is unacceptable. Please STAY AWAY and support a business who actually cares to respect their customers. read more

The service wasn't ideal certainly not as warm as I expected for a pub atmosphere. I would not return there was little value for cost and the black bean burger was frozen despite me having asked the server (who said she wasn't sure but didn't think so). The chicken pot pie and steak pie were lack lustre. The best part of all our meals was the green salad. We will not return and wouldn't suggest this location to anyone we know. read more

Disclaimer - We didn't eat here. We just drank. So this review is based on the drinks and service. We had some friends visiting us from Ottawa in March. They wanted to visit Scandinave spa. We went there and it was a long wait so we came to MJ Byrne's to kill some time, drink beer and wait as it was too cold outside. They had very good selection of draft beers (28 draft beer to choose from). The service was polite and unrushed. We had two pints each and spent a few hours talking. We weren't hassled to order or leave. The prices were reasonable too. The servers were knowledgeable about the beer; they offered samples to try so that we could order whatever we liked. Stellar service. read more

The good: friendly and fast service. Cold beer. Had the burger. It was meh. Fries were think cut and also average. Gravy... dont do it ! It was just nice to be on a patio at this time. Great spot to have a drink. I would come back for sure cause with a great patio, cold beer, and friendly service thats all the check boxes. All is good so long as the food is not horrible. read more

The service was actually quite friendly and nice and we all enjoyed our different meals (9 of us)...so I don't get the bad reviews, or they may have just picked up their business since (hence the power of Yelp). For my specific meal, I wish the Chicken Pot Pie was a little bigger (only complaint). My gf's beef deep sandwich was delicious. read more

The service is alright. The food is awful. The fries were cold and tasted old. They highly recommended the fish and chips so I ordered that. Big mistake!!! My sister ordered the Shepard's pie and it was basically ground beef with frozen vegetables with no taste. I gave it one star because we at least have live music to listen to while we ate. read more

Not sure about all of the food but ordered a poutine and two beers. I enjoyed the live music and atmosphere of the pub. The poutine was delicious as well! The service was quick and friendly as well! read more

Very satisfying during a cold day on the hill! Guinness on tap and the traditional Irish food is great

The wings were over cooked except 2. The sauce (honey garlic) didn't have any flavour. The blue cheese dip helped. The fries are boring and thick. No salt or seasoning so it tasted like a baked potato without toppings. The chefs creation sandwich tasted only like raspberry. No other flavours and it wasn't even a good raspberry flavour read more

The staff was very hard working and SUPER friendly. The food is terrible. Plus I asked for hot sauce and extra gravy because my shepherds pie was VERY dry, and was charged extra without being notified. Not the server's fault or anything bc I should have asked. Overall, food quality is mediocre at best. read more

Oh my. If you caught my Tip on this place when I visited it back during the Feb 8-10 weekend, you would have thought I loved this place. Happening Irish pub, with a great bar, at the bottom of the ski hills in the Village at Blue Mountain! Coming off the hills you're two things: Hungry and Thirsty. While my thirst was sated by an insanely spicy Bloody Caesar (seriously the bottom 1/4 was all Tabasco sauce) my hunger was left wanting as the disorganization of the staff and kitchen here sent us running else where hungry. Long story short we arrived after the lunch rush (it was still busy) and were told when we left our name at the door that it would be a 20-25 minute wait. So we took up at the bar and began hydrating...or dehydrating depends how you look at it really. 45 minutes later I ventured up to the host station and asked the slack jawed mule working his post what our approximate ETA was. "I don't know... I told you 20-25 minutes before". Ahhh yes but that was 45 minutes ago kind sir...to which I received a roll of the eyes and a "well call you when it's ready." Easy tiger papa just wants a nibble no need to get so testy. Another 10 minutes go by and finally we are seated (for those of you keeping track...were now 5 minutes short of an hour). Our server comes about 10 minutes later and takes an order for more drinks. We decide on food right away at which point she tells us that the kitchen is backed up and it could be a 25 minute wait. Ohhhhh no you DINT!!! Excuse me miss - I ask - we were told 25 minute before and it turned into almost an hour wait, so when you say 25 min, do you mean actually 25 minutes orrrrrrrr MJ Byrne 25 min. She scoffed, said she didn't know what to tell us. So we told her to cancel the drinks and went elsewhere. Hopefully that sped up the wait for one other person...but with staff like this I hardly think so. Best to wait things out over at Rusty's or try your luck elsewhere. This place doesn't know how to handle customers (or at least more than a couple at a time). Kudos to Kiro M and John E for telling it as it is. read more

Do not start a tab at the bar. The bar tender will charge you and your friends duplicate and say you both order the same thing. I will not be returning to this bar due to the lack of awareness from the bar tender. read more
