First time here & the vibe was good our server Nico was super nice & fun. Only thing I would recommend is to lower the music a bit so you could have a conversation without needing to get too loud.

J'y suis allée avec des collègues de travail durant notre fin de semaine d'assemblée général annuel. Le nom du bar nous a interpellé !! La serveuse a fait de bonne recommandation! Prenez note: Pour un groupe ( nous étions 10-11 personnes), ils ne font pas des factures séparés. Une facture totale avec un tip de 18%.

Delicious fairly priced cocktails in one of the best ambiances you can find in the city. Fast & friendly service with great recommendations & frequent check-ins. I'd highly recommend le Mal Nécessaire to anyone! Even non-drinkers as they have great alcohol-free cocktails (I'm looking at you, chicha morada!)
