Sometimes the best travel discoveries happen completely by accident, and that's exactly how we found The Great Canadian Pub. We were actually on our way to an Irish pub for a pint of Guinness when we walked past this place. We decided to pop in, found a table for the four of us right away, and before long I had a perfectly poured pint of Guinness in my hand. You can't come to Paris without having a pint somewhere... right? The Guinness was so good that I ended up ordering a second, and it was also where my oldest son enjoyed his very first pint. That made the visit even more memorable. What made the experience even more amusing was that my wife's family has French-Canadian heritage, so finding a Canadian pub in the middle of Paris was the last thing we expected. It turned into one of those fun travel memories you don't plan for. The staff was friendly, service was quick, and the prices were very reasonable considering the location near the Seine. We even stopped back later during the World Cup, and the place was absolutely packed with fans, creating a lively atmosphere. If you're looking for a relaxed pub with good drinks, friendly service, and a fun atmosphere while exploring Paris, The Great Canadian Pub is definitely worth a stop. Didnt rate the food sine we were there for drinks lol.
Such a fun little pub directly across from the Hyatt Regency in the 17th in Paris. We had so much fun the first night, that we came back again the second night, and enjoyed it just as much.
The Great Canadian Pub is a fantastic spot in Paris if you're craving a genuine North American sports bar vibe right by the Seine. The exposed brick interior and outdoor terrace create a brilliantly lively atmosphere, especially when catching a game. They pour a solid selection of beers and serve up great, comforting food that really hits the spot. The staff is consistently friendly and fast, making it an easy, laid-back choice for a weekend hangout. Highly recommend stopping by for a fun, casual evening in the city!
Lovely place with friendly staff. Kitchen folks are heroes, we had a couple Poutines (chicken and pulled pork with the latter being our favourite) and the entrecote with peppercorn sause. Fantastic value and taste for the money. Chefs kiss. We stumbled during the 2026 olympic hockey quarter finals and the atmosphere was cracking. Nothing roudy but energetic and loud. As a couple that rarely does anything with sports, it was great group to join in the energy.
The Great Canadian is a great bar to meet other people traveling through Paris. The food is great and the service was amazing. One of the bartenders named Lou (I think) was great, she is very attentive asking how the food is and making sure you have everything you need. The stereotype of dry and rude servers in Paris absolutely does not apply to her. She was very kind and made us feel welcomed. It has a great vibe and great for watching sports and talking to people. I highly suggest The Great Canadian if you get the opportunity to go.
