Went here for new years & honestly was an amazing experience. They take your coats & assign you a coat ticket at the entrance. They had a live band & a DJ performing. The drinks were also very unique & different. At the end they gave us free champagne for reserving the night with them. Overall, would probably come back to celebrate another eventView more

Fabulous cocktail bar! Super fun house cocktails with a tiki theme, but every cocktail we ordered was very well made. Staff were super friendly & helpful without being pushy, especially Yohan! Great for pre-dinner drinks. Plenty of room on Friday 5pm to get a table for our party.View more

My favorite bar in Montreal. BEST BOURBON SOUR I HAVE EVER HAD!! Unique cocktails, delicious, & aesthetically pleasing. It is more expensive & worth it. As an American on the border, Montreal became my second home & I visit this bar EVERY TIME! Their new location is huge. I preferred the intimate setting of their old venue, but I'm happy for them that they expanded so much.View more

Hands down one of the best if not top cocktail bar I've been to! I have been here a few times now & the drinks are some of the most unique & best tasting drinks I have ever had! I love all the drinks I have tried here but I think the coco supremo is my favourite! 10/10 drinks, atmosphere & service! Their menu is one of the most visually appealing unique menus I have ever seen - each drink has a description & they even have a cocktail scale to help you pick! One of the best bars I have ever been to!View more

Mal Nécessaire is an absolute gem in the world of high-end cocktail bars. As soon as you step through the door, you're transported to a luxurious tropical oasis that masterfully blends the fun, carefree vibes of a tiki bar with the sophistication of a premium cocktail experience. The cocktails are nothing short of art. Yes, they may take a little time, but they're absolutely worth the wait! Each drink is a perfectly balanced blend of creativity & craftsmanship, showcasing an impressive understanding of flavors & techniques. Let me just say-it's hands-down the best Jungle Bird in the city! What truly sets Mal Nécessaire apart, though, is the incredible staff & their respect for their craft, from the care they pour into each drink to their commitment to using natural ingredients. From the moment you arrive, you're treated like family, making every visit feel special. Insider tip: Bring an apple for the bouncer-it's a secret gesture that adds a playful, memorable touch to the experience. The bartenders are a breath of fresh air. No pretentious attitudes here-just passionate, approachable artists who love what they do & make you feel right at home. Their recommendations? Always spot-on. Whether you're celebrating, taking someone special on a date, or just looking to unwind, Mal Nécessaire is the perfect spot. They deserve all the love-this is the kind of place that reminds you why nights out matter: to laugh, make new friends, & experience something truly unique.View more

Waiters were extremely accommodating of a large group & had tons of suggestions for the menu. Lighting & ambiance was amazing, & the jazz band was great with tons of personality.View more

If you don't go to Le Mal Nécessaire each time you visit Montréal, why do you go to Montréal? Loved it before, loving it even more after they moved to the new location. Amazing place, amazing drinks, great ambience, perfectio? Yes. If you love yourself try the Froot Loops shot, please.View more

Very cute place, & the drinks are amazing. However, their payment system is horrible, & let me explain why. It's pretty ridiculous that one person has to pre pay for everyone, that being the price after taxes, but also an 18% tip & to quickly mention people should have the right to tip at their own convenience, 18% is above the standard tipping rate, but more importantly including tips in the deposit is ridiculous, this place charges tips to just hold a table for you!! What they lack to comprehend is that this amount is what we call a deposit, & deposits are refundable & normally no tax nor tips are included. Also, at the end they deduct the portion you paid (excluding taxes & tips), & then charge the taxes & a minimum of an 18% tip...Not only is this such a complicated process, but having everyone e transfer you (if you choose to pay separately) is chaotic. They have one bill for everything & you have to be the one on top of everyone's payment & getting e transfers when they could simply just charge separate bills! It's not normal. It's a bummer, it's such a beautiful place.View more

Ambiance correcte. Temps d'attente à l'extérieur long & inutile puisque plusieurs tables étaient inoccupées. Les cocktails sont trop chers. La serveuse est contrôlante.View more

This is a great place for connecting with people. The atmosphere is fantastic & the cocktails have a signature flavor. I was lost while finding the entrance as there is only one little sign "bar" close to the door.View more
