The cocktails, even if more expensive than similar places, are excellent! The atmosphere is great. Highly recommend the Nomaretto Sour & the Strong Water.

The security guard told us to wait outside??? In -20 weather??? While waiting for our uber?? The drinks are great here, but we waited an hour before getting a table & then we had to fight for a better table, & then our drink order took soooo long. Service disappointed bigtime & was very annoying

Le Mal Nécessaire is one of those rare spots that feels special without trying too hard. One of my top go-to spots - Great music, beautiful space, & seriously good cocktails. Always a great night.

Très belle ambiance, par contre le son était trop haut & ça ne permettrait pas de parler tranquillement. Le staff est attencieux & les drinks délicieux, mais préparez-vous à débourser un bon 70$ pour trois boissons. Bon pour danser & jaser entre amis, mais pas un lieu du vous chercher de la tranquillité.

Le Mal Nécessaire is a nice bar with interesting cocktails & a cozy, intimate atmosphere. However, the music was very loud & I didn't enjoy the band that was playing. That said, it seems like they host different acts, so the experience may vary depending on the night.
