Great after work/before movie bar. Only stool seating, great wine offerings & fresh oysters. Interior is cozy & grand with wood furnishings.

I had dinner at Bar Dominion & it turned out to be a great experience. The highlight of the night was definitely the $1 oysters-we couldn't resist & ordered a couple dozen. Fresh & well worth it.
I also tried the deviled eggs topped with caviar (my first time trying caviar). They were good, though a bit on the salty side. I actually preferred the other fish roe on top-the larger orange ones-which added a really nice texture & flavor. The caviar itself was subtle since there wasn't much of it.
The standout dish for me was the tuna tataki. It was absolutely amazing-lightly seared raw tuna over a miso vinaigrette, topped with greens (likely seaweed) & cucumber. I would go back just for that dish alone.
We sat at the bar & got to watch the mixologists in action, which was a great experience. The staff were a 10/10-friendly, warm, professional, & very attentive without being overbearing.
Overall, a fantastic spot. I'd definitely come back.

Came here with a friend for a little cocktail night out! It was walking distance from our hotel (the Sheraton) so we decided to give it a try! I ordered the Martingale & some fresh oysters. My cocktail was the perfect blend of strong, sweet, & citrusy. The oysters were also very fresh & paired well with the toppings!

We absolutely loved the vibe of this place-buzzing & lively but not too loud so we could hear each other while chatting. Would definitely recommend & I'll be coming back the next time I'm in the city!

Did someone say 1$ oyster Sunday & Monday? Bar Dominion did. Fresh Oyster served with lemon & lime edges, two mignonettes & hot sauce. The cheeseburger was absolutely delicious, grilled to perfection. Great crowd & décore. Service was friendly & professional. I highly recommend a reservation.

Summer in Montreal means a terrace table, cold beer, & 24 fresh oysters shared with friends while we solve the world's mysteries one bite at a time. Life is good. 🥰

Wow! What a find! The vibe is great. The food & drinks were amazing. We ate at the bar. Oliver was our bartender & gastro guide & he excelled on both fronts. The oysters were fresh & tasty, the focaccio app with the Jamon & Manchego app was a perfect combo. The salmon tartare was delicious. We could go on & on about the food but the drinks were amazing. Oliver's attention to each drink was a true master at his craft. We Highly Recommend!

Fast friendly service! Great cocktails, delicious bites. We had a small gathering for a group of 7-8. The high tables were perfect for mingling. If you like oysters, they were beautifully fresh & tasty. Special thanks to our server Annie who was very attentive & took great care of our group. Paul was also super helpful.
