The drinks program is highlighted for precision, creativity, and value, with mentions of a Negroni vending machine and a strong overall drink experience. Overall Bar Bello is seen as a top pick for a night out, a go to for casual drinks and celebrations, and a standout Italian bar in Montreal that many would return to for the vibe, the cocktails, and the welcoming team.
2026: service was much better this time, our female server was super attentive. I enjoyed the Liguria-inspired coffee cocktail.
2025: Live music & decor were fun.
Had the Ossiola sour (nicely presented) & the Tiramisu cocktail. Both were alright.
Service was friendly but inattentive, we sat down & no one would look our way for twenty minutes so we went up to the bar. If it's just that type of place, just let people know when they come in. Once we ordered, we got our drinks at the table within good time.

Our servers made the experience 10/10. Didn't catch their names but they were awesome. Highly recommend if you're looking to grab a few drinks/appetizers.

We just stopped by on a whim & were extremely happy we did. Bar bello is great & welcoming with personnality & an attention to details that really makes the drinks stand out! Frozen glassware, precise pours, skillfull bartenders with a very nice vibe, italian classics with popping taste & even their own negroni distributor which is super cool. Can't wait to go back.
Came here with family & friends for a few drinks. It was our first time visiting Bar Bello & we enjoyed ourselves. The cocktails are pretty good although I did find one of them a little watered down however it was still okay.
The atmosphere was really nice! The DJ was playing classic 70s to 90s music all on what looked like original records which you can tell when hearing the vintage sound quality.

One of the best bars in Montreal, now with a new menu! I'm still to fully try the new menu but in the 6M+ of coming to Bar Bello, there isn't a drink or taste their mixologists can't make!
Their staff is lovely, creative & knowledgeable on their alcohols & crafting the perfect cocktail. Note their happy hour from 4-7PM everyday for classic aperitivos
This place was exactly what I wanted on a Thursday night, a good strong drink that I can enjoy in this Montreal winter weather. Arnaud & Moreno (I hope I spelled it correctly) went above & beyond. Salud from Fort Worth, Texas!
Service was fabulous, & the negroni was delicious. I had the coffee flavored one from the machine. Fun way to get a drink. We didn't order food. We just had bar snacks.

Very Milanese, Bar Bello is my kind of place. Reminiscent of the Aperitivo bars in Milano, Bar Bello mixes drinks professionally & with care. Small bites are available if you need a little something. If Bar Bello was in my current home city, I would be a regular. Prices were very reasonable.
Nice spot to have a variety of cocktails in Little Italy. Loved the classic negroni, served in a chilled glass with a unique ice cube. Simple selection of appetizers to accompany your drink, cocktails are the specialty here. Spacious bar & restaurant with a cozy feel. Friendly staff as well!
What a find! Cannot recommend this bar enough, Nissar was super helpful & welcoming, & the drinks were just perfect. He recommended a margarita with grappa as a twist & it was great! The food was equally good, & the prices are excellent for the quality you are getting. We will definitely be back. Lovely bar with great vibes.
