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.
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 !

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.
Serrés comme des sardines entre les apparatchiks du jeudi soir, l'accueil est zélé mais le service est lent. Il faut maîtriser la langue des signes ou savoir lire sur les lèvres pour déchiffrer les mots du serveur. Nous n'avions ni l'un ni l'autre ces compétences - tant mieux, les prix nous auraient fait fuir. Le cocktail n'était pas assez imbibé pour nous faire oublier le bruit & la fureur de ce caveau du mauvais goût chic. Nous avons quand même pu nous délecter des considérations immobilières de nos voisines, dont les récentes acquisitions dans les Laurentides feraient pâlir les sans-le-sou du Mile End. Amis amateurs d'un bar convivial pour discuter & rire, passez votre chemin (& allez au Siboire).
Food & service were phenomenal. Definitely caters to a younger crowd that's down to yell over loud music (although the music was very good). Kudos to the waiters who somehow can hear your order - superpowers?
Portions were small but perfect, no leftovers had to be brought home!
Not a ton of places to sit, we arrived at 5:30 & all the proper booths etc were already full. We sat at a bar-like area spanning the middle of the space, cute & comfy but also crowded.
Good wine list, we were all impressed with our choices.

The place looks cute, but gets very loud. It also smelled food... a lot. After leaving this bar all my clothes smelled food even though I sat a the bar. The staff was amazing & very friendly, the cocktails were well done.
Bar Henrietta is a beautiful bar with small tapas-like dishes. The food & service were excellent. No reservations, alas, & when we arrived there was a waiting list for the gorgeous outdoor terrasse (one of the prettiest in Montreal, in my opinion). However you can start your night indoors & the staff will transfer you outdoors when a table frees up. All in all, a lovely spot. Highly recommend!

Great spot with fantastic drinks! Only problem is their service. If the place is empty, you'll get them fast, but as soon as they get busy, their staff can't handle it (appears to be a common thread based on other reviews) & you'll end up waiting 30-40 min for one cocktail.
Tip: if you're in a hurry: DO NOT ORDER A COCKTAIL, they're incredibly slow... instead order a glass of wine/champs. Or just sit at the bar. Bar service is much better.
Adorable bar with the feel of something out of a Time Machine. Martinis were cold & available with a solid selection of local gins. You have to try the sliced popcorn topped with Manchego. The perfect little midafternoon snack.
Je n'ai jamais essayé leur nourriture, mais leur vaste choix de vins & l'ambiance du bar méritent amplement 5 étoiles. C'est l'endroit parfait si vous cherchez quelque chose d'intime & calme. L'atmosphère chaleureuse & raffinée en fait un lieu idéal pour se détendre & profiter d'un bon verre entre amis ou en couple.

Date night with wife. Walked in around midnight on a Friday & was seated right away at the bar. Bartender was super friendly. Made me a few cocktails that were off menu. We ordered the popcorn (crazy good) & the beef tartare (also very good). We had such a good time that we went back the next night & had the popcorn again & tried the kale caesar which was also outstanding. All of the cocktails were excellent on the menu as well. Great spot!!
L'atmosphère est super! La nourriture est plutôt bonne (Petite déception pour les gnocchis pas crémeux & un peu secs & le cocktail Pina Colada un peu bof). Les serveurs sont très gentils. Très sympathique en mode bar à tapas pour partager des mets...
Succulent restaurant, nous étions assis au bar avec une excellente serveuse. Nous avons partagé de délicieux plats (coup de coeur pour les gnocchis) & dégusté des bons vins natures!
Super cute bar that has small bites. Their Portuguese sandwich was delicious. Drinks & overall ambience of the place also was a highlight. Highly recommend as a before dinner spot.
