Cuisine correcte mais j'ai déjà vu mieux pour le prix.
Restaurant bien situé et les serveurs sont efficaces et sympathiques.

In this place you can enjoy delicious food, good drinks and it integrates with the outside environment, in the surroundings you can listen to traveling musicians who give that extra touch to the experience of being John Michaels Pub, the service is fantastic, the food is very Well, it's relatively coarse and enjoying a beer is great, in the evening it's a very familiar place.

Highly recommended!

Poutine à la viande fumée, très ordinaire. Les frites sont bonnes, mais la viande fumée très grasse.

$12 bottle of beer was outrageous, the nachos were meh at best, with the smallest serving of salsa between two people, and although the burger was good, the side salad was seasoned with just olive oil.

Didn't expect much, but did expect better than this.

While the drinks are decent and the beer cold my order for a smoked sandwich arrived 48 minutes after i placed the order, but i was pleasantly surprised that the establishment somehow knew i was dieting and brought me a sandwich that was so small it is considered a finger sandwich anywhere else albeit at $24.overall, two stars since i'm feeling generous this yule tide season

The poutine here is NOT good. The fries are frozen, there wasn't enough gravy and it was also subpar. The waitress forgot our extra gravy and when I asked about it, instead of admitting it, she said she was still waiting. She was nice though.

The putine was really good. The waiters were extremely polite. Loved the place for a dinner and beer.

Overpriced and slow service. I ordered a smoked meat poutine and the smoke meat was the same ones you buy at the grocery store, vacuum packed in a ball. They couldn't even be bothered to cut it up like a cheap canteen.
At least the drinks were good.

The food we had was good. Simple cheeseburger and the poutine with bacon. Decent bar food menu. The ambience was nice on the patio. A nearby street performer played his guitar. Definitely touristy. The bartender had the best vibe. Couldn't complain.

Portion for poutine if you upgrade it in a meal is very small, Don't upgrade a meal to poutine as it is not very good and no way they can justify $8 extra for only average quality poutine.

Smokes meat was ok but not anything special.

My kids liked the swiss burger and it was a good size.

The location is great because of the frequent live entertainment nearby.

Bar service was ok. But being on the end of the bar and seeing food manipulation near waste made me shiver. Clearly short staffed

Good little place to have fun with friends or colleagues. Staff are friendly and courteous.

Food comes relatively fast. Taste is good too.

Great location to have a walk after the party.

Easy to find the place.

Had lunch here on a sunday. Although it was so packed we had to wait for the kitchen to catch bwfore being seated, it was a really nice experience. Hostess was pleasant. The server was prompt. The food came out quickly and was surprisingly good. We had the pork poutine and a fire burger. Both were really tasty. We had beer and wine that was teasonably priced. I expected a tourist trap - but it was not. Very much recommend.

Trendy location in Montreal’s old port. Fun atmosphere. Live music outside on the patio. Typical bar food. Drinks were pricey compared to other places in the area.

I went here with my children for an evening meal. Service was good, until we waited over an hour and a quarter for our meals. The waitress did apologise, however when the meals came, the fries were very greasy. I did say this. I had only an apology, apparently no manager available to speak to. There must be someone in charge.no bill reduction either. This is such a touristy place that maybe they can get away with it. However from my experience please avoid this place, over priced for greasy fried food.

Add on- I will try to call from hotel this morning, I am from overseas. Thank you for responding

L'ambiance est authentique, chaleureuse et le service est agréable et rapide. J'ai pris le Philly Steak et ma portion était plus que suffisante. Les ingrédients sont assurément frais et les aliments bien assaisonnés. La bière est servie en format de 10oz, 20oz et en pichet. Coup de coeur particulier pour les frites. Ce pub mérite certainement sa place au haut de la place Jacques Cartier.

My friends and I had a wonderful evening at John Michales, good food, tasty drinks and good ambiance

Trendy little establishment with great food and service. I recommend trying the burgers and local beers.
10 March 2022 12:10
Très agréable comme ambiance pour un PUB et le personnel est très gentil. La portion de nachos est très généreux et très bon.
16 January 2022 23:41
Tried fish and chips, sweet potatoe fries and some cocktails.
Food portions are huge! Price is also reasonable.
I wish they had options for smaller portions too. Staff is really friendly. They speak both English and French.
Recommend the place

En famille, nous avons commandé deux mojitos, un Pina colada et un cidre. Le PC était bon et parfumé mais les mojitos étaient très acides à cause du citron et on ne sentait presque pas le rhum malheureusement.néanmoins rafraîchissants.

Amazing food and service. We went for dinner (4 of us). We were seated in patio as indoors was at full capacity. It was a bit cold but heaters were running at full capacity and they helped. Ordered nachos, poutine as appetizers and then Michael's Chicken, firehouse burger, chicken strip as entrees. Everything was delicious and portions were good. Our server was very friendly and none of us are French speakers; will return.

Très bonne adresse, assiettes amplement garnies, personnes du service très agréables.
Réservation en ligne sans aucune difficulté.
Nous recommandons vivement

The people working here are unprofessional. Agressive customer service. Save your time and money don’t su

Nette Location mit großer Terrasse und sehr freundlicher Bedienung. Das Essen war lecker, gute Auswahl an typischen Pub-Food.

The waitresses working were fantastic! They were moving around so quickly and never left anything ignored. The poutine was delicious!
18 November 2021 1:52
Excellent poutine in a city famous for it. Charming sights and local musicians make for great people watching. We had a group of 8 on a relaxed labour day and had excellent service.
12 November 2021 15:17
Excellent service. Bonne nourriture et bon vin. Les vérifications vacci-code sont faites dans les règles. Les prix ont légèrement augmentés mais les plats sont bien remplis. Ca vaut la peine. Bonne ambiance!

Love the food. We had Philly cheese steak sandwich and pulled chicken taco and it was great. Big portions, good quality and nice service. We were visiting from Toronto where food standards are pretty high and I give them 5 stars.
12 October 2021 20:46
One of the worst resto experience in our life. Club sandwich was so so, but fries were so bad. We couldn't even finish it.
Asked twice for the bill, and it took them 10min to bring it.
26 September 2021 2:33
Food was good, poor service though. It took forever to get our food and they were unable to make a Pina coloda or a strawberry daiquiri.even though both are on the menu. Our waiter seemed to stand around a lot.
08 February 2021 9:38
The service and food was second to none in Old Montreal. There was no shortage of food which was presented well. I would definitely go back.
19 September 2020 8:11
Great location for people watching and live music playing on street. Food was pretty standard pubfare with a Montreal flair. Fast but friendly service. Reasonable prices
18 April 2020 7:37
A great place for poutine and other tasty food. Service was excellent each time we visited. In the summer the patio is a great spot to take in the action in Old Montreal while enjoying a drink or dinner.
30 March 2020 3:18
Bar avec de bonnes bières locales et des plats copieux, surtout les burgers! On a passé un très bon moment
24 March 2020 7:35
The food we ordered was great! Delicious! French onion soup, fish n chips, and the chicken wings were all good and so is the beer! Fun! We watched the Superbowl with great friends:) oh yea our server was also awesome. Thanks
14 February 2020 2:14
Food was good and service was great. Their specialty burger is a bit strange. The patty breaks a part but still tastes good.
26 January 2020 8:53
Malgré le bon service des serveuses, 84$ pour 2 hamburgers de base avec frites, 1 daiquiri et 1 bière, c’est très exagéré.
Dommage, l’ambiance était très bien pour un match de football
24 January 2020 15:03
Le service était tres bien, la nourriture aussi. Je ne met pas 5 etoiles car dans les écrans il etait diffusé une chaine animalière qui montre des meurtres d ours par des chasseurs.
Ca casse vraiment l ambiance ces horreurs.

Yea you know it is the typical tourist trap:)
But on a cold afternoon in the Old Port Neighborhood I saw the outside Black board hand written menu ——> $1 Oysters + tax I decided to give it a shot.

Place was empty I was the only customer when entered & sat down, within minutes other customers came in so I must have brought them luck:)

Service Was friendly, ton's of smiled, & pronto.
The bisque was pretty tasty exactly what the doctor ordered on a cold day.
Cappuccino was also good.
I left the best for last - I ordered 12 oysters which were served with lemons and H-Reddish.

Overall not bad, expensive yes that must be expected for its location,
Very nice pub, clean bathroom, & welcoming staff.

You bet ya I will return for more Oysters:)

Ordered 2 ceaser salads, the dressing tasted like old mayo. Found 2 hairs in my salad and the waitress (who was very nice, it wasn't her fault) said the kitchen staff said it could have been anyone's hair, that she couldn't comp the meal but I could have a free beer?
28 November 2019 18:24
Perhaps, my expectation for good food was too high for a "pub". While service was courteous and good, the food (supposedly true Canadian dish) turned out to be average to poor (too greasy). Gave 3 stars as its location afforded good view of the locals and tourists enjoying the street/area.
27 November 2019 13:15
Le service est correcte mais nous n’avons vraiment pas aimé la viande du burger vraiment pas bonne et beaucoup trop cuite.
26 November 2019 9:50
A decent restaurant. I felt the prices weren't bit high for the quality of food. The dishes were tasty though. The smoked meat on poutine was fantastic, (although overpriced).
24 November 2019 22:46
The Location is nice for a tourist in Old Montreal. They offer big portions of food. Flavor wise it's good but not great.
19 November 2019 7:57
Great patio atmosphere with music playing in the square. The staff is super friendly. The food was somewhat typical bar/pub food. It was good.
13 November 2019 23:44
Bon accueil, bel endroit mais service médiocre (retard, menus pas à jour, serveurs/euses perdu (e) s) et bien cher la qualité d'assiette. Je déconseille à mon grand dam.
24 October 2019 10:44
Bon accueil malgré un service médiocre (beaucoup d'attente). L'endroit est propre. Les plats y sont corrects mais banals. Ils sont chers pour la qualité de ce qu'il y a dans l'assiette!
16 October 2019 5:00
Pub bien situé, nous avons juste pris un verre, pas grand chose à dire, terrasse chauffé. J'ai pris un cocktail, pas top niveau goût.

Came to Montreal with my fiancée for our anniversary and have had a fantastic time exploring and walking through the town. As we walked up from the water ready to have some drinks and a bite of lunch, we stopped at this pub that seemed to have a great atmosphere and ambiance. Drinks were great, however the food was the worst food we’ve had in years. Well done burger (we asked for medium rare but they only make it one way) and the John Michael’s salad with chicken on it that may have expired in 1997. Don’t waste your stomach space on this.
15 September 2019 9:29
Stopped in here for a pitcher of sangria and it was amazing. The pitcher was a good size. From what we could see the food portions were good here.
05 September 2019 17:12
Lovely staff but overall it felt like a tourist trap; it's right on the square. We were tired, hot and hungry so we decided to give it a shot. The smoked meat poutine was disappointing; a bowl of fries covered in unappealing gravy, only a few cheese curds, and what seemed to be slices of roast beef with some smoke flavor thrown on. Don't order the bourbon lemonade. At least the beer was cold.
31 August 2019 14:25
Beautiful place! Nice smoked meat sandwich but french fries are not very good. Little bit overpriced for what you get.
12 August 2019 22:32
Fantastic place located in beautiful old Montreal near the port. You can see live local street shows from the patio which creates a nice atmosphere. Had the burger for a meal and it was delicious. Place was really busy but food still came by pretty fast. There are many nice little restaurants near here as well but having eaten here, i would definitely recommend it if you are looking for good food!
