A very cool place in downtown Montreal. They don't serve any food only drinks. There are non alcoholic & alcoholic drinks, price is ranging from 17 to 20 dollars for each cocktail. Cocktails are very good 👍🏼View more

Maybe the best cocktail bar in Montreal. Easily the best Negroni I've probably ever had. & the service & vibe is just as good as the drinks, thanks to Jess who made us feel at home & taken care of the entire time. Can't recommend enough🍹View more

If you're looking for the best cocktails in Montreal, you might have just found them here! All the ingredients are fresh, made from scratch including juices & syrups (except the liqueur of course). The Pina Fuego served inside an actual pineapple not only looks exotic, but also tastes delicious. If I didn't know how much alcohol was in it, I might have gulped it up as it was very yummy. My companion's Old Fashion surprised me with the range of flavors & depth of taste. The Coco Supremo was also delicious. I got a modified version as they were out of an ingredient. It was served in a carved out coconut which was pretty cool. The atmosphere is chick & the decor stylish. Beautiful ambiance completes the experience. I'd definitely choose this bar to impress a friend. I'm so lucky I chose this bar. The reviews were a little confusing & certainly don't do it justice. Most of the complains were actually about the service & not the drinks. Despite that, I'd highly recommend it. This is a rare gem in the heart of Montreal if not in Canada.View more

Perfect bar spot to finish the evening. We went fairly & upon exit we realized there was a bouncer & a waiting line so it's a popular spot. The bar seats were nice & the bartenders know exactly when to come by & check on you. We also saw them climb the alcohol shelves to grab a bottle for us. The drink menu is so much fun & we wanted to try every glass. The pina colada was slushy & stayed cold for almost an hour. Everything was on the expensive side so this is a once-in-a-while-only-for-special-occasions baView more

Had a great experience at Bar Le Mal Necessaire for our first night in Montreal. The service from start to finish was 100%. Bouncer was great at keeping everyone informed as to how long the wait would be to enter & let us wait inside for 10 minutes before out seats were ready. We sat at the bar & was served by Jess & Jackson. Both gave exceptional service, giving delicious recommendations of what cocktails to try based on our preferences - Jackson's recommendation of the housemate coconut cream (I believe) added to the espresso martini slush was delicious. Would definitely return on another trip to Montreal.View more

I just left this cocktail bar with my sister, & I just have to say that this place is officially one of the highlights of our 29th birthday trip! The drinks were amazing, as well as the staff (met a fellow Georgian (US)), & funky, soulful music from a DJ who you can tell loves what he does. This place was an experience we won't forget! Will certainly be a return customer.View more

Waited about an hour in line before getting in. Location was smaller than I expected but still had a cozy vibe. Drinks/ shots would take a while to come out (~20 minutes per round) however considering all ingredients are made in house I did not mind the wait. Drinks were PHENOMENAL, especially the "Champagne Papi", which was why I came here. Bouncer & staff were very nice as well. Played house music in the background that gave the place a chill vibe. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a place to sit down & talk with friends for a couple hours.View more

Jess & Adri were the bees knees of service Jackson was very attractive & also VERY skilled at his job (I actually enjoyed his service the most) Love the strong water also, definitely crowd pleaser. The pineapples were excellent I was there on a Friday & had the best time of my entire life. I would live there if I could. Bathrooms are incredible & very spacious.... I live life only with necessities & this bar is Mal Nécessaire.View more

Not quite understand the drink as much. It is instagramable. Service is overwhelmed by numbers of customers even weekday. Hard to get their attention. However, they are friendly & the drink was ok. Location: great, close to China town Ambience: amazing Service: Meh Taste: Average Price: $$$ 1 drinks could cost about $30-40 at least the one that I ordered. I do not know what in the mix as the server did not explain, copied order from others. Speakeasy? Not quite Just another cool bar. Worth to visit if you come in a group Oh yeah, live DJView more

Hidden gem! This is a definite do not miss while in Montreal. We had the pleasure of stumbling upon this cocktail bar with amazing vibes, staff & cocktails.

This place is fantastic with some of the best service in Montreal. I was in from Toronto & stopped in before heading out for the night. The DJ was spinning groovy vinyl & my server turned out to be the bar manager. Not only did she make recommendations based on my drink preferences but once she founded out I was looking to come back with friends she helped insure we could get a spot, then her & the bartender invented drinks for us based on our preferences & hand wrote us note to help us get into another hot spot. This place is a must stop for anyone coming from out of town & it puts most Toronto louges to shame.View more
