Me & two friends only found this bar late on our last evening before heading home but I'm glad we did. You wouldn't know the bar is there to begin with. There are no signs & it is down a quiet street which I think adds to its speak easy vibe. It has a really chilled out cosy atmosphere with a DJ adding to it with some chilled out music. Our server Morgane was super attentive & helpful. Sat us at a table & we ordered some Old Fashioneds with her recommendation of bourbon. The drinks took a little longer to arrive but the bar was busy & we were happy just chatting. The Old Fashioned was really good! It's a shame we found this bar so late into our trip but I'm glad we found it eventually! Would absolutely return again next time we're in town.

My new fav MTL bar. Upscale cocktails with great service. Maybe the best negroni of all time. Not to be missed. Our server Jess was outstanding.

Le Mal Nécessaire is an absolute gem! My experience last night was nothing short of amazing. The bartenders here are incredibly passionate about their craft, & it's evident in every drink they prepare. A special shoutout to the bartender Jess, who made our night unforgettable with her humor, kindness, & exceptional service. She really knows how to make guests feel special. The lively environment, complete with a DJ spinning vinyl added to the vibe. This bar has definitely earned a spot in our regular rotation. Highly recommend.

This was our first bar in a series that night - & it was the perfect choice! The fantastic interiors, the well-balanced cocktails, the lighting - everything is tailor-made to transport you to the prohibition era! Definitely a must visit.

Amazing drinks & I love a fun menu!! I REALLY recommend the Strong Water. I know the ABV is high but it doesn't taste like it!

We decided to try this bar out after seeing it on instagram & it was PHENOMENAL. We had so much fun the first night, we came back with more friends the following evening. We loved the ambiance, the music was not so loud that we couldn't have a conversation with each other & the staff were outstanding, they really put on a show! The drinks are on another level - I highly recommend the fruit loop shots. We loved hearing the back stories behind the drinks we ordered & how they came to fruition it was also a treat to get shown the back room that had elements from the former bar location (bar top & tile) under renovation. We will be hitting up mal every time we are in the city & you should too!

Cool place that you wouldn't know it existed from the outside of the building as there are no signs. Great cocktails, cool detailed drink menu with lots of explanations to help choose, great music as there was a dj playing, cool vibe. Service seemed to be slow as I only noticed two servers. We sat down at the bar as there were no tables available, enjoyed the drinks while seeing all the bartender magic happening right in front of us. Bartender is great, but someone should be looking over cleaning the bar as the person beside me has spilled his drink, made bar dirty & nobody cleaned it while we were there. Overall good experience & would love to come back.
