Pub Nelligan’s - Quebec City, Quebec

Almost no food, service was slow but the waiter was happy and kind. Atmosphere was typical for that kind of pub, music a bit too loud for easy conversation.

Do not go here. When my buddy and I discovered this place a few months ago, it was alright, except for the fact that the bartender berated us into giving a bigger tip (we had already given 12% and put another 20$ in the fuzzball). Strike one. Then recently we ... went back trying to get a Guinness, in those 4 months, the price had risen 1.50$ putting the 2 Guinness and tip to 25$. Strike two. This time we went when the place wasnt full, maybe 60% and as my friend and I went to sit at a table, the staff told us we couldn't sit there and that we needed to find a 2person table, not the 4person table we chose. Over the 90min we spent there, no one sat at those tables and it didn't get any busier. Strike three. In summary, the staff were rude and kept asking for more money, the price of their drinks are far from competitive, and the recent renovation that lowered the ceiling has reduced the atmosphere significantly. If you're looking for a decent Irish pub in Quebec city, there are better choices. The Bar Saint Mathews is just up the hill 20 seconds and is a much better choice. It's a shame that Nelligan's turned out to be so disappointing. Read more

Great Irish pub with classic Irish beers and spirits, but also local beers and various whiskey and gin. The Bartender was very friendly and provided exceptional service. Great conversation. The building is old and charming. I look forward to returning to this spot.i did not have any food. ... Great place! Read more

Good beer, good music. It's just not worth putting up with the lousy service and 15% forceful tip, if you they are gonna charge you the tip even if their hospitality is not worth it, they may as well just put it as part of the price of the product. I ... used to go there regularly, the last nail on the coffin for me was in the middle of the summer festival they asked for my ID to go inside, I didn't have it so ok, I asked if I could at leats use the restroom, since the initial plan was to go in, buy multiple beers and use the restroom, they wouldn't even let me in to do that, so yeah, that's it for me.

Sooooo, this place is a combo of an modern Irish pub meets Québécois fun. There was only the one bartender (François) working about 25 patrons and he rocked it! Fast as hell and as friendly as one can be in a busy pub! Trust me I know cuz I've been ... "in the weeds" behind the bar from working that side of the wood for over 15 years. It's not easy to to keep track of every order, pickup & clean glassware and still entertain your audience. Hats off and Très bien fait monsieur! Read more
