Great experience! Had the pleasure of meeting Eric & the drinks were amazing
Alex
Fantastic drinks & a wonderful experience in a lovely setting. The drinks were next level, & Eric & Adriana took excellent care of us. Outstanding experience!
Sara
My cousins said it's a nice place to go. But the girl behind the bar sat around giving dirty looks. The drinks were just okay & the waiter could have been friendlier.
Michael
Visited from Toronto.
This bar/ speakeasy is very chic. It has a great atmosphere for a great night out. Really enjoyed their champagne papi & miso drinks!
Fannie
Cocktails already made for Halloween night wasn't the best drink for the price we paid!
Ion
One of, if not, the best bars I've ever been to. There's a wide variety of drinks to choose from & if you're indecisive, the staff will make it easy by getting you something according to your preferences. The bar has a very nice atmosphere, with great music playing all along. Our server Adam was very friendly & professional with us. He handled our order with care & made sure we had a pleasant experience throughout the entire time, asking us if we needed anything or not. Additionally, he provided us with a portable charger so we could keep enjoying our night. I would totally recommend this bar if you're a couple or a group of friends looking for a nice place to spend an evening with amazing drinks.

Was only in town for a few nights & knew we needed to hit up this spot. Atmosphere was wonderful, drinks were delicious, & service was top notch. Cheers to Jay!

Atmosphere is super nice & the music fits the vibe perfectly, I got the champagne papi drink & it was really really good. Jay was a wonderful server, would definitely come back when I visit Montreal again
Philip
Lovely bar. Great music from the dj. Great place to drink & chat with your friends. I had the champagne papi & it was drake. I mean great. Jay gave use great service & I hope to visit again when I'm back in Montreal.

Such a wicked spot. We stopped in at 4:30, right when they opened. The vibe is really chill, dim lighting, nice atmosphere. Drinks both looked & tasted great. Love this place. Wish we could've stayed longe
Avni
Great ambience & drinks! I got the dirty martini & tale of two chillis. The martini was good but the tale of two chillis was amazing! I liked the ambience; the music was a bit loud at certain points (it was a live band) but I personally didn't feel talking to my friends was hard. The lighting was a tad too dark. Great experience overall though!

Le Mal is a very nice bar, but I have to be honest it is more suitable for adults in their mid 20s & up. A very honest advice for anyone who's coming here the first time: if you're in the waiting area where you can order a drink (was at the very back of the bar), please do not get into a hurry for getting a drink yet because there is not a good variety of options available & honestly in my friends & I opinions, it was just straight up very strong & not tasty especially if you are a fan of cocktails or a look/taste-matters person. I'm sure once you actually get into the bar the drinks will be way better as I saw the other feedback with so many eye-catching ones. Overall was a nice experience to try!

J'y suis allée pour prendre un verre & je fus charmée par l'endroit. Une tonne d'ambiance un mercredi soir, un staff charmant & compétent, de délicieux drinks originaux. J'ai toute aimé.
Adrian
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!
Elen
Great drinks, friendly staff, & a nice atmosphere. Would definitely come again!
Mira
Great place for some drinks at night.
I wish they also had food menu, but that's ok.
All the drinks are described in detail on the menu. The DJ keeps the atmosphere very nice, would go back for a quick grab for a drink. It is a bit loud for a quiet talk.
Claudio
Drink menu is very creative. Cocktails were great, will return the next time we're in Montreal.

Nous avons adoré & nous allons retourne
