Bar à cocktails dans le Quartier Chinois de Montréal. La bouffe Cantonaise est disponible pour ceux qui veulent quelques bouchées en sirotant leurs breuvages.Live DJ tous les soirs.
Bar Le Mal Nécessaire est une référence à Montréal pour les cocktails, mêlant une ambiance lounge raffinée à une vie nocturne dynamique avec des créations originales et équilibrées inspirées d'un univers tropical. Le service est généralement attentif et chaleureux, facilitant l'expérience même lorsque l'endroit est plein, et l'ambiance est soutenue par une programmation musicale et des performances live, parfois bruyante. Des avis mentionnent des temps d'attente et des variations selon les soirées, notamment avec la nouvelle localisation qui offre un cadre plus haut de gamme et une organisation différente, certains regrettant l'ancien esprit. Malgré ces points, Bar Le Mal Nécessaire demeure fortement recommandé pour des cocktails créatifs et une atmosphère conviviale, même si le tarif peut sembler élevé et la foule peut être dense.
Hidden bar in downtown montreal, no public signs outside, a bouncer greets you at the entrance. A cocktail drink costs around 20 cad, a pint of beer costs 9 cad. The bar is super classy & the ambiance reflects fancy music & clients.
Sipping on a cocktail in a trendy new downtown bar. If anyone needs me, I'll be busy pretending I'm a professional taste tester. #VacationLife #ResearchPurposes 🍹
Quel plaisir ce bar un peu caché & à l'ambiance parfaite. Peut être que le son est un peu trop fort, mais on a l'habitude à Montréal. L'un de mes endroits favoris de la ville.
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.

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.
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.
So I was just wandering around old port Montreal & I stumbled upon this cute hidden cocktail bar & I could not have been more welcomed by the Jess the bartender. Her knowledge of the menu & warmness made me feel right at home & part of the family here. Highly recommend
First visit to their new space (they just reopened & expanded) & I was blown away. Beautiful, sophisticated design, but still feels intimate & low key. Staff were fun & friendly; drinks were fresh, interesting/unique & stiff. Loved the vibe overall & definitely worth making a detour for - it's a great spot for a date, to hang with friends, or to entertain business colleagues/clients. They've completely upped their game even further & cemented its status as one of the best cocktail bars in the city.

Was a bit sceptic with the new location. It being bigger & more upscale made me wonder if the drinks would be as good as always. I was proven wrong. Every single cocktail was perfect. Le Mal Nécessaire is without a doubt the best cocktail bar in Montreal & probably Canada. It baffles me why they are not on the 50 best bar list.
The drinks are interesting but for the price seemed just okay. The interior design of the bar is amazing & ambiance is fantastic. Service, just not good at all. You wait outside for a spot, then when you get inside realize it's not even full but they had you wait outside to make it appear it's a waitlist only. Inside, the waiters & bartenders are chaotic. 30 minutes to get first drink when other patrons that arrived after us get theirs. & then try to pay the bill & no one is around (waitress disappeared). It could be a lot better place if they got more attentive staff.
Maybe the best cocktail bar in Montreal. Easily the best Negroni I've probably ever had. & the service & vibe is just as good as the drinks, thanks to Jess who made us feel at home & taken care of the entire time. Can't recommend enough🍹
If you're looking for the best cocktails in Montreal, you might have just found them here! All the ingredients are fresh, made from scratch including juices & syrups (except the liqueur of course). The Pina Fuego served inside an actual pineapple not only looks exotic, but also tastes delicious. If I didn't know how much alcohol was in it, I might have gulped it up as it was very yummy. My companion's Old Fashion surprised me with the range of flavors & depth of taste. The Coco Supremo was also delicious. I got a modified version as they were out of an ingredient. It was served in a carved out coconut which was pretty cool. The atmosphere is chick & the decor stylish. Beautiful ambiance completes the experience. I'd definitely choose this bar to impress a friend. I'm so lucky I chose this bar. The reviews were a little confusing & certainly don't do it justice. Most of the complains were actually about the service & not the drinks. Despite that, I'd highly recommend it. This is a rare gem in the heart of Montreal if not in Canada.
