Ye Olde Orchard’s first location opened on Monkland in 1996, and the franchise has since grown into one of Montreal’s most enduring Celtic pubs, with sister locations spread across downtown, the Plateau, Pointe-Claire, Saint-Sauveur, and Châteauguay. The menu covers classic Celtic food, with beer-battered fish and hand-cut chips, shepherd’s pie, burgers, and chicken wings. The food options are backed by a bench of imported drafts, whiskeys, and cocktails. Dark wood, dim lighting, and a general sense of well-worn comfort set the tone, while a wall of televisions keeps things lively on game nights.
