You know something's right when the owner of a COMPETING club is drinking there :D
Atmosphere: Pub Lord William (henceforth known as PLW) is a new pub by the principals that brought the Ye Old Orchard pubs to Montreal. Having just recently opened - 2 months of so come end of July 2015 - the place has an industrial shop floor / pub feel to it. Not to say that its bad - not at all - it's just that it's so spacious! Clean, proper, well set up - this place is here to do business and keep the ever growing young professionals population of Griffen town well fed and liquored up
Service: Top marks here for sure - the owners definitely know what they're doing and how to run a place like this. The staff is culled from their other locations or recruited based on experienced - you won't get bad service here or have someone lose or mishandle your order. Waitresses are very very professional and very friendly - making conversation / recommendations and just being all around good to the bone.
Food: Err, you're here to drink! Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) due to a quirk in the liquor licence PLW has, you must order food with your drinks. Don't look for anything super special - pub food after all - but it's done well and it's cheep. Hot-dogs & Fries for a few dollars, nachos etc. It's good stuff to snack on but oh so bad for that South Beach Diet... :)
PLS is not exactly located on a well trodden path - but if you're a local or just happen to be in the area you should definitely make this a destination .
