L'équipe de service est très courtois. Je remercie Olian. Assis au bar tout comme sur la banquette, l'ambiance est parfaite. La musique est mixer sur vinyle. Toutes leurs boissons signatures sont raffinées. L'architecture & l'aménagement de la pièce est un fort attribut tout comme l'éclairage. Parfait pour discuter avec de bonnes personnes. Je recommande

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

2025: signed up for the waiting list with an estimate of 45 minutes. 1h45 later still not seated in the main area. Staff was friendly & apologetic, but they need to revise their system. The lounge area isn't bad though, but I think the cocktail menu is more limited, & a bit understaffed. I like the decor & music.
2022: Two visits. Pleasant service, good music. Fun cocktails. My friend for the Singapore noodles & they were a little low on flavour.

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.

Had a great time & the vibes were immaculate! There was a bit of a wait but it was worth it! The fruit loop shots were our favourite!
