Bar Le Mal Nécessaire is a fun, unique, retro bar definitely worthy of a stop in Montréal. Although it's gained its popularity for the aptly named "Champagne Papi", the menu offers tons of diverse cocktails to choose from. The service was fantastic & the drinks were incredible, the Champagne Papi actually tasted incredible for what may be considered a "gimmicky drink". I would order it even if it did not have Drake's face on it.View more

Loved the previous location & the new one is great as well. Very chic without being uncomfortable. Staff & drinks were great! Drinks are a tad bit expensive but they're good & the vibe makes it worth it.View more

Stopped by this bar for a late night drink, & it did not disappoint. The drinks were solid, loved the Champagne Papi "Drake drink" & fruit loop shots (they were as good as they sound). The prices were decent. Definitely worth checking out if you're out late & looking for a good vibeView more

This bar was an absolute must-visit on my list with my partner, she had been to a previous iteration of this bar - & it shows that this place has consistently been a success since it's grown into a space 3x its original size. We were served by Elyssa & she was so helpful, I don't know how she knew that I was craving a pineapple flavoured drink, but she suggested I try the house special (also called Le Mal Nécessaire) - which was delectable. My partner got Elyssa's take on a hurricane & only superlatives could suffice to explain how good it was. Everyone should visit this bar when they're in Montréal.View more

Decent drinks in a beautiful new venue. The biggest problem was there weren't enough bartenders to provide adequate service, & we waited too long between orders & to receive the bill. The pina colada was surprisingly just okay. We found the venue got very loud as it's a fairly cavernous space.View more

Amazing nights guaranteed at this bar which used to rocks the Chinatown & now is bigger & better in its new location. The DJs are great, decor settings beautiful, drinks are a work of art of the service personalized & friendly. Special kudos to Yohan who made my visit so great I went back 2 days later with a larger group of friends. My new hangout when I'll be in Montreal !View more

This was our "home bar" while visiting Montreal. The drinks were fun & delicious, but even better was the service. Our servers (New Brunswick & Hugo) were extremely kind, engaging & made our experience fabulous every night we were there. Check it out yourselves people!!View more

Let us commence with the important aspect: the cocktails. I sampled 3 drinks, which were satisfactory but ultimately unremarkable. Some are presented in an extravagant manner, such as those served in coconuts; however, fail to elicit a sense of good taste that would compel a return visit. The pricing is rather steep given the quality offered. The garnishes were rather lackluster-I have certainly encountered superior presentations. As for the service, it was adequate but not exceptional; it could be described as merely neutral.View more

This bar is super underrated & a strong contender for one of the coolest spots in montreal. Very chique & modern but with a classic ambiance. Felt like I stepped into a Mad Men episode. Definitely a spot to return to as the service & their range of cocktails are amazing.View more

Drinks drinks drinks! Book a reservation to avoid disappointment they take crowds of 2 to 20. Nice little spot to enjoy the evening! Near old port!View more
