Founded in 1962, Peel Pub was also a well-known spot for pre-gaming before hockey games at the Bell Centre—and less than two blocks from Sherbrooke Street West, recently ranked one of the coolest streets in the world.
Where is the Peel Pub in Montreal?
Situated in the heart of Montreal at 1196 Peel Street—just steps from top shopping destinations like the Montreal Eaton Centre and Time Out Market Montréal—the Peel Pub was famous for its drink specials, massive beer pitchers, hearty pub fare, and lively comedy and sports nights.
What are the key details about the reopening?
A Facebook post by one of the new owners, Tony Fewkes, states that the pub is opening under experienced new ownership with a modern twist, including an inspired, diverse menu in keeping with the traditional original Peel Pub—and 24 carefully chosen draft beers on tap.
According to a report by CTV News, a new group of investors—U.K. expats who previously ran Montreal pubs like The Irish Embassy and McLean’s Pub—are stepping in with plans to revive the venue and restore some of its former charm.
Among the first upgrades is a completely revamped beer room, fitted with state-of-the-art draft systems to guarantee perfectly poured pints, the report notes. And alongside sports screenings, the revamped Peel Pub will feature comedy nights, trivia contests and classic pub fare.
When is the Peel Pub reopening?
The report also states that the Peel Pub aims to reopen just in time for St. Patrick’s Day.
