J'y suis allée en pensant que c'était un speakeasy. En arrivant devant on se rends compte que ce n'en est pas un pantoute mais nous y étions alors nous sommes entrés pareil (pas du tout caché) ! L'ambiance est vraiment nice à l'intérieur. Le bar est superbe. Le service est au top. Adam a su vraiment bien nous recommandé & le barman a créer un mocktail spécial pour mon ami qui n'était pas sur la carte. Pas un speakeasy certes, mais j'y retournerais !

More a vibe than a quality cocktail bar. It's a cool looking space with a house DJ in the
middle of a beautiful room. The bar seating is an elevated experience while the liquor bottles are back lit. Frankly this is a fairly standard look & feel for any cocktail bar trying to be good. The sad part is the actual cocktails & bartenders…they can produce someone's recipe for 10 pretty basic cocktails with a slight twist but aren't actually mixologist & can't make a cocktail that's interesting on their own. It all just came across as a high end DJ cocktail bar over charging for basic cocktails. There are better options for cocktails, vibe, DJ's & all things combined. Pass.

Pretty mid honestly. I guess if you forget what it was & see it as a new thing… it's fine. But it's not even a shadow of its former self. Felt super sterile, cut with the cookie cutter mold of every hotel bar ever. Staff seemed uninterested & not at all experienced. The mal necessaire cocktail - what used to be a staple - was poorly made, served with half melted ice & definitely canned pineapple juice. The espresso martini was surprisingly amazing . Also no food was a let down

Le Mal Nécessaire is a very good bar, though I must admit I more liked the vibes of the old location as compared to this on. Its brighter & more vibrant, but the vibes of the old one were just better inmy opinion, also didn't feel as well taken care of as before, not bad by any stretch! Just not quite 5 stars. Can't fault the cocktails at all though.
