The Irish holiday of St. Patrick's Day, celebrated on March 17, has also become firmly rooted in Quebec's traditions, including in Vaudreuil-Soulanges, where Irish blood flows in the veins of several founding families.
Here are 4 perfect pubs to dive in the Irish universe and celebrate this tradition.
Duke & Devine’s Irish Pub – Vaudreuil-Dorion
Established in the heart of Vaudreuil-Dorion since 2011, Duke & Devine's has quickly become a staple in the area. On the menu are classic pub meals, such as fish n'chips, steak & chips or decadent burgers. But, you will also find unexpected dishes, such as chicken and curry poutine or filet mignon tartare. There is even a children's menu. Of course, the pub also offers a large selection of international and local beers. As for the interior decor, the contrast of wood and brick perfectly reflects the charm of this old building dating from 1892.
It certainly is a perfect spot to celebrate St. Paddy's Day!
Mckibbin's Irish Pub – Vaudreuil-Dorion
In terms of Irish pubs, McKibbin's is a true reference. For several years now, a franchise of Montreal's famous Bishop Street pub has been established in the heart of our region, in Vaudreuil-Dorion. As soon as you set foot in the pub, the cozy and festive atmosphere will immediately transport you to Ireland. McKibbin's offers a choice of 21 beers from all over the world, live performances by the best local musicians and great homemade food.
Everything you need for a memorable Irish experience.
Cameron Pub Hudson
In this historic Hudson building, pubs have come and gone over the decades, each adding its own flavour to local life. Since 2025, the space has reclaimed its festive spirit as Pub Kingfisher, named after the kingfisher bird — Hudson’s emblem — a symbol of resilience and character, much like the building itself.
On the menu, you’ll find all the pub staples perfect for a St. Patrick’s Day celebration: burgers, fish ’n’ chips, and steak‑frites, alongside dishes with Mexican and Asian influences, plus a dedicated kids’ menu. The same spirit of variety carries over to the bar, where Scottish scotch and Irish beers happily mingle with Mexican‑inspired cocktails. The result is a warm, welcoming atmosphere — just the place to raise a glass to the Irish.
Cardinal Brewing
Although this microbrewery isn’t specifically Irish in tradition, it definitely deserves a mention here! Also located in the heart of Hudson, the brewery hosts a special St. Patrick’s Day event each year in partnership with the Soulanges Irish Society.
It’s the perfect occasion to sample their delicious lineup of original beers — including The Craic, an Irish Red Ale brewed especially for the celebration. Their taproom also regularly features live music, adding to the festive atmosphere.
So raise your glass — and here’s wishing you a very happy St. Patrick’s Day! Sláinte!
And don’t miss Hudson’s traditional St. Patrick’s Day Parade, along with the diverse programming of the Celtic Festival by the Soulanges Irish Society.
