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.
Un excellent endroit où se rassembler avec des amis pour discuter! La musique n'est pas trop forte, mais permet tout de meme d'avoir de bonnes discussions! Les cocktails sont uniques, ce qui plaît beaucoup!
Wowwww what can I say ! The cocktails were phenomenal & very creative. The staff were super friendly & presented the cocktails like it was magic. The experience was really impressive. They also put my group on the guest list of La Voute for the end of the night so they went above & beyond !!

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!
2025: signed up for the waiting list with an estimate of 45 minutes. 1h45 later still not seated in the main area. Staff was friendly & apologetic, but they need to revise their system. The lounge area isn't bad though, but I think the cocktail menu is more limited, & a bit understaffed. I like the decor & music.
2022: Two visits. Pleasant service, good music. Fun cocktails. My friend for the Singapore noodles & they were a little low on flavour.
Le Mal is a very nice bar, but I have to be honest it is more suitable for adults in their mid 20s & up. A very honest advice for anyone who's coming here the first time: if you're in the waiting area where you can order a drink (was at the very back of the bar), please do not get into a hurry for getting a drink yet because there is not a good variety of options available & honestly in my friends & I opinions, it was just straight up very strong & not tasty especially if you are a fan of cocktails or a look/taste-matters person. I'm sure once you actually get into the bar the drinks will be way better as I saw the other feedback with so many eye-catching ones. Overall was a nice experience to try!
Des cocktails & un accueil toujours exceptionnel ! L'Équipe a vraiment été aux petits soins pour que nous passions un bon moment. Je recommande toujours ce bar !!
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.
Pretty mid honestly. I guess if you forget what it was & see it as a new thing… it's fine. But it's not even a shadow of its former self. Felt super sterile, cut with the cookie cutter mold of every hotel bar ever. Staff seemed uninterested & not at all experienced. The mal necessaire cocktail - what used to be a staple - was poorly made, served with half melted ice & definitely canned pineapple juice. The espresso martini was surprisingly amazing . Also no food was a let down

Le Mal Nécessaire is a very good bar, though I must admit I more liked the vibes of the old location as compared to this on. Its brighter & more vibrant, but the vibes of the old one were just better inmy opinion, also didn't feel as well taken care of as before, not bad by any stretch! Just not quite 5 stars. Can't fault the cocktails at all though.
We came here on a Friday night between 10 & 11 PM & managed to get a seat however it's quite full. It's a very mixed crowd. We really enjoyed the cocktails. There was a DJ too. Overall, a really great bar.
Petite pépite à découvrir!! Les cocktails sont excellents & les serveurs (Charles, Eddy & Lili) sont aux petits soins pour les clients! Merci c'est un plaisir à chaque visite 🤩
Large enough place with plenty of comfortable couches & live music spinning. The menu had great cocktail variety, & it's designed like a zine with information about drinks & drink history in it. The atmosphere is on the darker side & it took a little time to get the drinks, but all the ones my table ordered were immaculate tasting.
