Pub McCarold has been Côte-des-Neiges’ go-to for a well-poured pint and a laid-back night since 2004. It’s the kind of spot where the beer list runs deep—26 taps strong, with plenty of imports—and the kitchen turns out proper pub fare, including a creamy stout mac and cheese that’s worth the trip alone. Sports fans won’t have trouble keeping up with the Habs here—there’s a screen in every direction—while scotch and whiskey drinkers have an impressive selection to sift through. The pace? Unhurried. When it’s quiet, it’s really quiet, so best to lean into the relaxed vibe instead of getting impatient. The two terraces make it an easy summer hang, but whether you’re here for a post-lecture pint, a long happy hour, or a late-night bite, McCarold keeps it warm, welcoming, and well-stocked.
