For over three decades, McKibbin's Irish Pub has embodied the authenticity of Irish culture in the heart of Montreal. It's not simply a pub – it's a true institution where history, conviviality, and tradition come together. Whether you're a craft beer enthusiast, a live music lover, or simply looking for a warm place to meet friends, McKibbin's welcomes you like a member of the family.
A History Rooted in Irish Tradition
The name McKibbin's pays tribute to an Irish family whose legacy lives on through every detail of the pub. The flagship location at 1426 Bishop Street occupies a magnificent historic turn-of-the-century mansion. This majestic building has been transformed into what many consider "Montreal's premier eating and drinking emporium."
Over the years, McKibbin's has preserved the soul of Ireland while adapting to Montreal tastes. The walls are adorned with authentic Irish artifacts and collectibles that tell stories from the Emerald Isle.
An Immersive Experience
As soon as you step through McKibbin's doors, you're transported to Ireland. The atmosphere is created by a perfect combination of:
- A dark walnut bar housing one of the largest selections of beer taps in Canada
- 25 different beers on tap to satisfy every palate
- HD screens broadcasting all major sporting events
- Live music every night performed by talented local bands
- Karaoke nights for the bold ones
- Comedy nights for guaranteed laughs
Comforting Cuisine
McKibbin's menu offers authentic pub cuisine that warms the heart and soul. Traditional Irish dishes sit alongside North American classics, all prepared with quality ingredients. A late-night menu is also available for those late-night cravings.
The drink menu goes well beyond beer: wines, cocktails, and an impressive selection of Irish and Scottish whiskeys complete the offering.
