If you don't go to Le Mal Nécessaire each time you visit Montréal, why do you go to Montréal? Loved it before, loving it even more after they moved to the new location. Amazing place, amazing drinks, great ambience, perfectio? Yes. If you love yourself try the Froot Loops shot, please.

Very cute place, & the drinks are amazing. However, their payment system is horrible, & let me explain why. It's pretty ridiculous that one person has to pre pay for everyone, that being the price after taxes, but also an 18% tip & to quickly mention people should have the right to tip at their own convenience, 18% is above the standard tipping rate, but more importantly including tips in the deposit is ridiculous, this place charges tips to just hold a table for you!! What they lack to comprehend is that this amount is what we call a deposit, & deposits are refundable & normally no tax nor tips are included. Also, at the end they deduct the portion you paid (excluding taxes & tips), & then charge the taxes & a minimum of an 18% tip...Not only is this such a complicated process, but having everyone e transfer you (if you choose to pay separately) is chaotic. They have one bill for everything & you have to be the one on top of everyone's payment & getting e transfers when they could simply just charge separate bills! It's not normal. It's a bummer, it's such a beautiful place.

Ambiance correcte. Temps d'attente à l'extérieur long & inutile puisque plusieurs tables étaient inoccupées. Les cocktails sont trop chers. La serveuse est contrôlante.

This is a great place for connecting with people. The atmosphere is fantastic & the cocktails have a signature flavor. I was lost while finding the entrance as there is only one little sign "bar" close to the door.
