Bar Henrietta delivers a lively bar scene with a buzzy vibe and a strong drinks program, and shares tapas style plates and a solid wine list that many reviewers praised. The crowd skews younger and the music can be loud, with some spaces cramped and seating limited, leading to occasional waits, especially on busy nights. Service is generally friendly and attentive though a few reviews note slower pacing when crowded, while popular dishes like burrata, popcorn with manchego, and a beef tartare receive high marks. Overall the atmosphere is described as stylish and welcoming and the spot is repeatedly recommended for drinks and social meals in Montreal.
Bar Henrietta is a nook of security & kindness in an otherwise intense bar scene in Mile End. The food was excellent & the drinks were lovely. We had the gnocchi, piri piri chicken, ceviche, popcorn, & cookie. Highlights were the ceviche & cookie. the cucumber cocktail was amazing. the pilsner is simple & elegant. one of our waiters had great knowledge of the wine which was really nice to see. all the staff were chatty & lovely. great energy.
afterwards we went to get a beer at Dieu du Ciel bar down the road & the energy was so bad we came STRAIGHT BACK TO BAR HENRIETTA.
it is a staple, a miracle. a promised land.

One of my favourite places to dine at & have some drinks in Montreal! I love that the plates are small & great for sharing. They have some incredible raw fish dishes that are to die for! Especially the raw scallops they currently have on the menu 🤤 it's mind blowing that they have yet to be featured on canadas best 100 restaurants!
Nous avons eu un super barman colin qui a été super avec nous. Je n'ai pas aimé mon drink & il l'a pris mal m'a proposé d'autre alternative selon mes goûts !
Le service était terrible! Nous étions un groupe de 16 un mercredi pm & c'était clair qu'on dérangeait la serveuse malgré une facture de plusieurs centaines de dollars & un excellent pourboire. Attitude hautaine & juste désagréable. Très typique du mile end mais j'ai jamais vu aussi pire que ça. C'est dommage parce que la nourriture est excellente & les cocktails délicieux mais plus jamais pour moi, ni mes 15 collègues.
Very much enjoyed Bar Henrietta. It's a lovely & lively bar that serves great drinks. The service is, refreshingly, its biggest asset. The food was delicious, albeit a little pricey for it's portion size.
Excellent service! Le vin est délicieux pour des prix vraiment raisonnables. Côté nourriture, nous avons été très satisfaits. Une adresse à découvrir à Montréal!
Ça fait plusieurs années déjà que je viens régulièrement au Henrietta avec mon amie Fanny, mais ce soir l'accueil a été ma fois *exceptionnel*. On n'a pas d'étoile à pouvoir donner pour l'accueil spécifiquement, mais j'ai une mention d'honneur pour Izzie (si j'ai bien saisi son prénom) qui était tout simplement rayonnante & chaleureuse!✨
