| - I have had the occasion to hit this pub twice this week. The first time was so good I had to come back to see if it was just a fluke. It wasn't...
Even though this location is in a strip-mall (you can hit a bookstore, grocery store and toy store when you're there!), when you step inside the door, you are transported into a true irish pub. Both nights (a Monday and Wednesday) were packed with people - young/old, couples/singles).
But this is Yelp - which is about food - and this place solidly deserves 4 stars (if not more). Monday night, I had the special - corned beef sandwich, cole slaw and fries. REALLY REALLY good. I have yet to figure out the difference between "Montreal Smoked Meat "and "Corned Beef". In fact, they call fries "chips" and the slaw was "creamed cabbage". Call me an ignornant American, but it was still wonderful. The second night, I had the Shepards Pie, which was equally as good. It was odd that it was served with a salad. The light salad clashed with the heaviness of the SP. My only critique of the SP was that it did not have more veggies - where are the peas, green beans, etc? It was ground beef, corn, and mashed potatoes on top.
TVs are a plenty here - perfect for watching a hockey game. There is also a stage, but there were no musical acts scheduled the nights we were there.
Service is attentive and the atmosphere is very casual. This is my new favorite bar in suburban YUL...
