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.
