    Guinness and a whiskey sour
    Karen M.

    I've been into bourbon lately. We stopped into a bar down the road and they only had Jack Daniels, so they recommended that we try Nelligan's, and it did not disappoint! They had a great selection of bourbon and whiskey, so I had a bourbon sour and my husband enjoyed a Guinness. Nice atmosphere/music and top notch service!

    Great ambiance. Lots, alots, alots of wiskey bottles. Great selection and perfect combo with draught beers. Definitively, a must go once or twice per week. One scotch a day, keeps the doctor ... away and even if the doctor isn't far away, this made my day. Thanks.

    Great Irish pub! You should visit for a whiskey and a beer! When I walked in from the freezing snow I was greeted with a full band playing authentic Irish music the perfect pairing to warm the soul! This is another reason to keep walking further than the beaten path to find a great gem.

    I was there for their Saint Patricks parade this past March, and it was a blast. I highly recommend this pub.

The perfect place to stop when the skies suddenly open up and soak you as you are walking down! Parking: ummmm.. why would you drive here? Place: It's a pub. Obviously havent been updated in a while but the that's what all the good pubs are like :) There are 2 sections I sat in the back part, the front was filled with customers who had been sitting out under those umbrellas before the rain came . Lots of different sized tables. Ooh they have a shelf full of board games. Food: I don't drink but they have lots of craft beers and the couple next to me loved the amount they had on tap. When I first walked in the waitress walked by with what looked like a giant lasagna with salad and I thought oh I want that. When I looked at the menu I realized they don't have lasagna and I figured it must be the croques Monsieur. So that is what I ordered and that is exactly what came. It was very generous and full of cheese which was toasted golden brown it was really good. The salad was good too really fresh the dressing was good. I'm glad I chose it. Staff was nice. They spoke both French and English depending on what you were more comfortable with. I stumbled through French because I'm in Quebec I should speak French. It was a really casual vibe it was like a nice little oasis I had been walking a lot that day and it was just relaxing and chill. Would totally go again. I really like the food. I mean there's a thousand other reasons to be in the area but in the area I would stop there

The staff was friendly and accommodating. They immediately offered water to my dog. They were also attentive, but seemed to be a bit scatter-brained at times. Food was good. Bar food. Can't complain. You didn't feel horrible eating it. Quite filling and tasty actually. Yes, it's in the middle of a heavy traffic area. It may seem like a tourist trap, but it isn't. Worth a stop of a good bite while going through the city.

There was a jazz trio playing -- two elderly men on guitar and bass, and a younger fellow on the drums. They were rocking it. The crowd got pretty into it too, applauding the solos, swaying, and tapping their feet, without really getting disruptive. It's a good environment for this sort of music. A lot of jazz bands in bars and restaurants tend to sort of blend into the background, getting just a smattering of applause from the nearest table. It was nice both the musicians and patrons at Le Fou-Bar enjoying themselves. Besides the music, it seems like a pretty standard-issue bar. Not unpleasantly loud or crowded, even with the music. A bunch of beers on tap, mostly from Montreal's McAuslan brewery. The French reviews mention a large whiskey collection, but I didn't inspect it closely. I also saw a food menu, though I didn't see anyone eating from it, so it may be prudent to get your dinner elsewhere. The clientele seemed mostly local, and French-speaking, though the staff did speak more English than I spoke French. They did not seem to mind my non-Francais-parlezing ways. So basically, these five stars are not really for the food or drink or service (which seemed standard), but for being a fun, casual spot to listen to some good live music. From what I can decipher on the website, they have someone playing at 9pm every Tuesday.

It was empty when we arrived so we had our choice of seating, and our server was pretty patient with us while we figured out what to eat. Considering it was us and two other people at the bar, I feel like the service could've been faster, but we weren't in any hurry and when we did place our food order it was brought right out to us. I have seen reviews of this place where others have mentioned that it's not English speaking friendly, but in our experience that wasn't true. To be fair we did communicate in French, but of course English is easier for us to speak. Overall vibes of the place are pretty eccentric with a kind of rock and roll grunge vibe but they also had totems and other decorative pieces that gave a nod to Quebec's Native American people which was cool to see!

In the states, this would have been a non event and unless we all did not physically fit in the pub we would have been allowed in. Here it was a bit different. The person at the door told us that we all had to wait outside while they prepared an area for us. Waiting outside in the cold seemed ridiculous. When I pushed the issue she finally let us in and it was hard to see what the hold up was and why we were told to wait ouside in the first place. There was a solid music group performing and there was a nice selection of drinks and food on the menu.
