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 se présente comme une adresse incontournable pour les cocktails à Montréal, avec des créations originales et des profils forts, des boissons parfois servies en petites portions mais toujours bien équilibrées, et un service attentif qui sait guider les clients. L’ambiance oscille entre le cocon cosy et une ambiance plus animée selon les soirs, le décor chic et la musique pouvant aller du vinyle discret à des sets live qui peuvent être bruyants, rendant les conversations plus difficiles à certains moments. Les avis s’accordent sur la maîtrise des cocktails et l’originalité des saveurs, même si les prix peuvent sembler élevés et qu’il peut y avoir des périodes d’attente lors des pics d’affluence; le manque de petites assiettes est parfois noté. Globalement, Bar Le Mal Nécessaire est perçu comme un lieu sophistiqué et convivial pour sortir entre amis ou en amoureux, offrant une expérience cocktail de haut niveau et une atmosphère mémorable, avec des soirées qui marquent autant par leur qualité que par leur énergie.
the drinks were delicious, vibes were great on a rainy night, music was good & our bartender niko was excellent. the queueing system was really odd though, they escorted us to a back room bar where you can order a drink while waiting for an actual table. back room bar menu & main bar menu is different. we waited for around 30 min on a sat night before getting a table.
This is such a cute spot for a cocktail. My friend & I sat at the bar & the bartender Nico was amazing. He was so friendly, answered all of our questions about the menu, & made us feel so welcome.
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 :)
Amazing cocktail bar that you need to check out. A lot of great tiki & rum cocktails. They can also make you anything you'd like based on your taste & pallet. They're very friendly & talkative & one what they do. They're two bartenders that made our night special tonight are Audrey & Adri.
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.
Mal Nécessaire is an absolute gem in the world of high-end cocktail bars. As soon as you step through the door, you're transported to a luxurious tropical oasis that masterfully blends the fun, carefree vibes of a tiki bar with the sophistication of a premium cocktail experience. The cocktails are nothing short of art. Yes, they may take a little time, but they're absolutely worth the wait! Each drink is a perfectly balanced blend of creativity & craftsmanship, showcasing an impressive understanding of flavors & techniques. Let me just say-it's hands-down the best Jungle Bird in the city! What truly sets Mal Nécessaire apart, though, is the incredible staff & their respect for their craft, from the care they pour into each drink to their commitment to using natural ingredients. From the moment you arrive, you're treated like family, making every visit feel special. Insider tip: Bring an apple for the bouncer-it's a secret gesture that adds a playful, memorable touch to the experience. The bartenders are a breath of fresh air. No pretentious attitudes here-just passionate, approachable artists who love what they do & make you feel right at home. Their recommendations? Always spot-on. Whether you're celebrating, taking someone special on a date, or just looking to unwind, Mal Nécessaire is the perfect spot. They deserve all the love-this is the kind of place that reminds you why nights out matter: to laugh, make new friends, & experience something truly unique.

Decent drinks in a beautiful new venue. The biggest problem was there weren't enough bartenders to provide adequate service, & we waited too long between orders & to receive the bill. The pina colada was surprisingly just okay. We found the venue got very loud as it's a fairly cavernous space.
We only went for a few drinks before going out for dinner but what a great experience at the bar with the bartender, he was wonderful & engaging at explaining the various cocktails. We enjoyed the conversation about drinks & spirits. I would definitely go back at a time when it's not to busy to enjoy that time again. I highly recommend to anyone looking for imaginative cocktails both avec & sans alcohol.
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.

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
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.
Perfect bar spot to finish the evening. We went fairly & upon exit we realized there was a bouncer & a waiting line so it's a popular spot. The bar seats were nice & the bartenders know exactly when to come by & check on you. We also saw them climb the alcohol shelves to grab a bottle for us. The drink menu is so much fun & we wanted to try every glass. The pina colada was slushy & stayed cold for almost an hour. Everything was on the expensive side so this is a once-in-a-while-only-for-special-occasions ba

This place is fantastic with some of the best service in Montreal. I was in from Toronto & stopped in before heading out for the night. The DJ was spinning groovy vinyl & my server turned out to be the bar manager. Not only did she make recommendations based on my drink preferences but once she founded out I was looking to come back with friends she helped insure we could get a spot, then her & the bartender invented drinks for us based on our preferences & hand wrote us note to help us get into another hot spot. This place is a must stop for anyone coming from out of town & it puts most Toronto louges to shame.
This is a lively cocktail bar in Chinatown. We had the miso juicy - a sweet salty blend of watermelon & caramel - & the espresso martini - it comes with delicious coconut crackers & tastes like a caffeinated, alcoholic slushie. Our bartender, Jess, was amazing & the atmosphere was very fun. I'd definitely recommend this place.
Speakeasy for real 🍹Visited the bar as a late night find. Best decision! It was dim light with a great vibe, just like you expect a speakeasy to be like. We ordered a Champagne Papi (the Drake drink) & for the second drink I asked the bartender to surprise me with a coconut based drink. Sooo yumm! Totally recommend this place for chill, low key vibe with great cocktails. We got two more drinks & asked for surprises again. Every drink was delicious & impressive. Great experience!
Undoubtedly, the premier craft cocktail establishment in town. Bartender Jackson's expertise in timeless classic cocktails & his extraordinary creations left me astounded! Truly a cut above the rest.
