Bar Henrietta is a chic and vibrant Montreal spot where cocktails and sharing plates are highly praised, with a strong wine program and a lively atmosphere that can feel crowded at times. The food is flavorful and varied, featuring items like burrata, octopus, scallops, ceviche and piri piri chicken, and the popcorn is a popular highlight for many guests. The vibe is warm and welcoming, the terrace is often described as beautiful, and the overall mood works well for a first date or a night out with friends. Noise levels can be loud and conversation may be difficult when the place is busy. Service is friendly and attentive on many visits but can slow during peak hours, and some patrons report long waits for drinks. The space feels intimate yet compact, with some tables sharing space when crowded and no reservations available in many cases. Overall Bar Henrietta is a popular choice for good value cocktails and tasty small plates with a vibrant atmosphere, though experiences vary with noise and service speed.
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.
My favorite new discovery in Montreal 😍 I went there with my husband on a Tuesday evening & we absolutely loved our experience. It was pretty packed for a Tuesday night & the playlist was making us feel like we were on vacation. We tried the pop corn first which was addicting. Then we had the octopus & the Foie de volaille & both were fantastic. Kim our barmaid was great to watch while she was mixing & serving all kinds of cocktails. We tried few cocktails from the menu which were refreshing & delicious. All in all I give our experience a 10 on 10. We will be going back to try more food & cocktails.
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 plateau 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.
I've been to this place many times over the years, one of my favorite places to get a drink in Montréal! PLEASE BRING BACK THE CHORIZO CAKE!!! It was sooooo good & I miss it!
On adore y être servie par Gab! La pieuvre est vraiment incroyable aussi. Peut être vraiment bruyant à l'intérieur, à la limite d'être capable de s'entendre parler les soirs populaires (jeudi, vendredi, samedi), mais opter pour la terrasse c'est parfait. Carte des vins top notch.
Absolutely no logic in their staff. Arrived with a group of 5, was told there would be a 30 minute wait, when there were a few empty seats of 3 available. They indicated nobody could stand & it was seating only, when right in front of us, there were 3 different groups that had both seated & standing individuals. Was told this was not allowed but that those guests had imposed this; then why not ask them to leave?
