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.

Have been wanting to try this spot for months but since it's walk-on only we've never been able to get a table without a long wait. My husband & I were thrilled to finally try but ended up quite disappointed in the experience. We each got a cocktail - they were good (not great) & reasonably priced. Despite expressing interest in getting food (& being told which food options were not available), our server never came back to take our order after giving us our drinks. We waited over an hour without being served & then decided we were going to leave. I'm bummed out that this was the experience after having waited so long!
Loved Bar Henrietta!! The service was great & friendly, our waiter even heard us talking about wanting to change our drinks & asked to switch them for us. The food was really good & such reasonable prices. I recommend getting some things to share, we loved the burrata & the popcorn. Drinks were very good as well & lots of fun cocktail choices. The only complaint we had was that the space is quite small & some of the tables you have to share with other parties. It gets very busy so would recommend trying to get there early!

It's a trendy place for cocktails & tapas. The food & drinks were great. The service was a bit too slow & it was very noisy. No reservation accepted, so you better get in line fast! It seemed like the rush hour (longest lines) were at around 6:30PM & 10:30PM.
All in all, a cool place to have a good, chill time with friends. Just make sure you have plenty of patience to get your order!
PS : I ordered the cacio e pepe gnocchi & the beef tartare. As cocktails, I ordered the Donald & the Rosa. The bill went up to 84$, including taxes & tip.
Adorable little cocktail & wine bar tucked away in the mile end. We had two cocktails & the recommended rosé as well as a bowl of their marinated olives. It's a super cute location with a charming & helpful wait staff. Stop by if you have the chance & enjoy an inventive cocktail or really excellent glass of wine!
Service was nice. Salad that tastes like battery acid? Risotto that tastes chef boyardee? Extremely overpowering mayo taste in devilled eggs? Gnocchi with creamed corn that tastes like weird cake with barrier of unseasoned bitter leaf & stale popcorn preventing you from tasting it? Cocktails that taste like soda water? Say no more! Ok, but does the chef taste their own food before serving it?
We just happened upon this place as we ate nearby & we're looking for a place to have a cocktail before heading home. It turned out to be a great choice as their bartender was very skilled at making cocktails - both the traditional ones as well as the newer trendy ones. The decor was appealing & the vibe both indoors & outdoors was great... on a Tuesday night. Will have to return to try the food.
Un plat & un endroit à se rappeler. Les gnocchi aux pois sont incroyables & sont dignes d'un restaurant gastronomique. Un endroit sympathique avec de super bon cocktail & une grande variété de choix au niveau des vins. Le service est à point, les choix de nourritures & de breuvages variés, endroit un peu serré, mais parfait pour une date ou un 5 à 7.

Une terrasse agréable & un intérieur très joli bien qu'un peu trop bruyant. Le bar Henrietta est un super lieu où se retrouver pour boire du bon vin, les cocktails y sont bons bien que pas non plus exceptionnels. La nourriture est très bonne, meilleure que dans la plupart des autres bars. Je recommande notamment les gnocchis & le ceviche. Très bon service également.
Bar Henrietta has always been a bit of an anomaly to me. The atmosphere is fantastic but the service is extremely middling & the food is, more often than not, overcooked. I really want to love this place, but just can't. Overpriced cocktails, average food, average service. Good vibe though.
The cocktails here are pretty strong, not very sweet or sour (so those used to some other places may not enjoy). Food seemed decent; the popcorn here was quite the surprise.
