  • 4.5 I've never been to Ireland but stories, pictures and reviews have led me to believe that what I experienced at Hurley's is as close to the real things as I can get in North America. Raucous. Bawdy. Loud. Festive. Hurley's is all these things and more. We didn't arrive until late and left after last call. Our waitress was in no rush to kick us out. Her brogue was so lovely to hear. Behind my booth, a quartet of loud, ornery fellows drank like fish, cursed like sailors and collapsed on to each other in a fit of hysterical storytelling that comes with age, years of friendship... and lots of booze. I loved it. I know people come here for food but it wasn't that kind of party. I started with a pint of Kilkenny, transitioned to a Snakebite and ended the evening with a beer cocktail I'd never had before: stout (Guinness) + chambord. I think it's called a Black Fog. A bit sweet and girly but at that time of night after the night I'd had... who cares. I was carousing, telling tales, yelling, and being drunkbelligerent. It was awesome. Imbibing so much beer caused me to wander around looking for a bathroom. As I did so, I had the chance to check out the pub. It had the wood & stone that would fit easily in to a city of age and history. Around every nook and cranny (or, you know, corner) there was another story to discover. I was particularly interested by the outside space, upstairs bar (and closed off areas), brick archways, and brilliant woodwork found in/at the bar/booth area. I'm, typically, not a fan of Americanized Irish pubs because they feel inauthentic and as though they're trying way too hard. This isn't the case at all at Hurley's. From my novice opinion, this is the real deal and it's easy to see why it's such a beloved Montreal institution. I'd gladly come back. I would just come earlier in the evening, eat some food and prepare to stay there all night, getting loud, drinking beer, challenging strangers, and telling stories. Sláinte!
