Stopped in here for a few drinks & the vibe is super cool & chill. Seems like a very hip stop to grab a drink or to take a date. The drinks were very cool & fun. Some of us got the drink served in a pineapple & set on fire. I got the coconut one which was served in a coconut! Refreshing & tasty
I found a lot of the drinks here to be quite unique. The bar was stocked with many different types of alcohol & everyone seemed to be having a great time!

One of the best cocktail spots in town! The drinks are creative, balanced, & beautifully presented. The staff is thoughtful & kind, especially Eddy. Perfect vibe for a chill night out or a date. Highly recommend!

This is my go to bar when i want to grab a few drinks with friends, or for a lovely date night. I love that the place is spacious & has room for big groups or just one on one. They have so many fun drinks to try.
Charles
Awesome vibes. DJ playing vinyls, delicious cocktail, perfect for a dates
Val
Perfect vibe for any occasion-date, friends, party. The drinks aged good (nothing too special in my opinion) but the atmosphere is just on point. We came in on Friday night around 7pm & were seated with no issues. I'd recommend.

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.

A must-visit destination for all Montreal tourists! Great ambiance, phenomenol service & great drinks. It starts at the door. Very humble bouncers, & once you are seated, great hostesses charm you with the offerings. Ours was able to do a good read of rum vs. whisky. & then we had a couple more rounds. Everyone is welcome (three single guys In my case), but this is an amazing place to bring a date. The DJ is spectacular, too! Awesome transitions. Thank you for a great night. Would love to visit again!!

First visit to their new space (they just reopened & expanded) & I was blown away. Beautiful, sophisticated design, but still feels intimate & low key. Staff were fun & friendly; drinks were fresh, interesting/unique & stiff. Loved the vibe overall & definitely worth making a detour for - it's a great spot for a date, to hang with friends, or to entertain business colleagues/clients. They've completely upped their game even further & cemented its status as one of the best cocktail bars in the city.

This place is such a vibe, & Eric is an absolute gem working there. 10/10 would recommend as a cool Montreal spot. Cocktails are amazing & it's a great date spot. Music was trendy.
Nicholas
Love the bathrooms, they have a very pleasant & civilized locking mechanism. The nicest I've seen in the business to date. Our friend couldn't figure it out, but she's French so that's OK.
Clara
My boyfriend took me there on a date & it was the perfect place! I was tempted by the Fuego Pina & was right: served in a carved pineapple, the drink was superb & I could eat the fruit. Whether for a date or a catchup with a long-time friend, a very cozy lounge. Absolutely recommended!
Nadine
This is a perfect spot for a date or a night with friends. Very cozy the music is great & the cocktail are really good. All staff is amazing but the star of the shows is Jessica.
