Le Vieux Dublin claims the title of Montreal’s oldest Irish pub, and while we’ll let the historians debate that, there’s no arguing its staying power. Right in the thick of downtown, this spot delivers all the expected pub staples—pints, burgers, and live music—but what sets it apart is its staggering selection of scotch. No need to cross-reference bottle counts with other bars; if you’re serious about whisky, this place has you covered. The atmosphere is reliably lively, drawing a mix of regulars and newcomers looking for a proper Irish watering hole. Whether you’re here for a well-poured Guinness, a deep dive into single malts, or just to soak up the music with a drink in hand, Le Vieux Dublin keeps things classic without feeling stuck in the past.
