What a great pub located in Little Burgundy, a quaint little neighborhood just below the hustle and bustle of downtown Montreal. From my pub experience in the area, this is as "British Pub" as it gets, and you can tell by what's served on the menu too (various types of braised meat, roast, fish & chips, different meat pie's, and porridge, among others of course).
I came with a group of friends, we knocked back a few (great) Irish car bombs, while some of my friends enjoyed Burgundy Lion's selection of Scotch. They have a good selection of draft beers too, my favourites being: Stella Artois, Carlsberg, and Sapporo. They, of course, serve Guinness, among other more 'original' and unique ale's.
The atmosphere is great! The staff is friendly and tends to pay attention to their customers, even when it gets loud and busy. You may have trouble finding a table or seats, so the earlier you go, the better, or you just may have to wait. There is a nice outdoor area in the back that opens up in the summer-fall as well!
No matter what you come for, you will not be disappointed.
