Award winning cocktail bar tucked away in a Montreal Chinatown. Authentic Cantonese food available for clients who want to snack while enjoying an all-natural libation. Live DJ sets every night.
Bar Le Mal Nécessaire stands out as Montreal's cocktail destination, blending a refined lounge vibe with vibrant nightlife through creative, tropical-inspired cocktails that are often flawlessly executed. The service is consistently attentive, helping guests navigate crowds and a sometimes steep price tag, while the atmosphere remains intimate, stylish, and energized by nightly DJs. Some reviews note entry queues and variable experiences across visits, and a few nights can be loud or pricey, but the overall consensus is that the cocktails, presentation, and hospitality make Bar Le Mal Nécessaire a top pick for a memorable night out in Montreal.
Great vibes & incredible cocktails! The mixologists are on point. Service was also great. Upscale stylish & live DJ spinning great vibes. I went here with the Montreal pub crawl organized by Djiby. This bar is a must do in Montreal!

Fantastic drinks & a wonderful experience in a lovely setting. The drinks were next level, & Eric & Adriana took excellent care of us. Outstanding experience!
My cousins said it's a nice place to go. But the girl behind the bar sat around giving dirty looks. The drinks were just okay & the waiter could have been friendlier.
Truly the best bar in Canada. Erik & Francois were the most hospitable & gracious hosts. Cannot overstate how incredible an experience! Beverages on par with, & exceed, the world's best.
Meh. Nothing to write home about. Not a great tiki wonder. Not on my top anything list. Kind of a sleazy lounge atmosphere meets the Jetsons. Not for me but there were plenty of people here so it's someone's thing.

Super service par Eddy. Super contente .. très serviable, toujours souriant & à l'écoute de ses clients. Ça fait plusieurs fois qu'on vient & on reviendra !
One of, if not, the best bars I've ever been to. There's a wide variety of drinks to choose from & if you're indecisive, the staff will make it easy by getting you something according to your preferences. The bar has a very nice atmosphere, with great music playing all along. Our server Adam was very friendly & professional with us. He handled our order with care & made sure we had a pleasant experience throughout the entire time, asking us if we needed anything or not. Additionally, he provided us with a portable charger so we could keep enjoying our night. I would totally recommend this bar if you're a couple or a group of friends looking for a nice place to spend an evening with amazing drinks.
Amazing vibes & music; The Champagne Papi was really good & i enjoyed the vibe all around, bartenders & service was actual legends. Thank you Jay & the others for a great time :)
Was only in town for a few nights & knew we needed to hit up this spot. Atmosphere was wonderful, drinks were delicious, & service was top notch. Cheers to Jay!
