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.
I had an extremely disappointing experience at Le Mal Nécessaire.
The staff were honestly some of the most unprofessional I've encountered. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the place is completely disorganized. Despite having a reservation, we were told to wait in the back & ended up standing there for about 40 minutes with no explanation or update. It felt like we were completely forgotten & honestly made to feel excluded.
The management seemed just as disorganized as the staff, with no one taking responsibility for the situation or even attempting to handle it properly.
To make matters worse, the olives & finger foods tasted like they were past their expiration date, which is pretty concerning for a place that presents itself as a high-end cocktail bar.
Overall, the experience was frustrating & poorly managed. With so many great bars in Montreal, I would definitely not recommend this one
A very warm & cozy place with great music being spun at a perfect volume. A great place for date night or a hang with friends. Good choice of original cocktails to chose from. I definitely recommend!

Stopped in here for a few drinks & the vibe is super cool & chill. Seems like a very hip stop to grab a drink or to take a date. The drinks were very cool & fun. Some of us got the drink served in a pineapple & set on fire. I got the coconut one which was served in a coconut! Refreshing & tasty
I found a lot of the drinks here to be quite unique. The bar was stocked with many different types of alcohol & everyone seemed to be having a great time!
One of the best cocktail spots in town! The drinks are creative, balanced, & beautifully presented. The staff is thoughtful & kind, especially Eddy. Perfect vibe for a chill night out or a date. Highly recommend!
This is my go to bar when i want to grab a few drinks with friends, or for a lovely date night. I love that the place is spacious & has room for big groups or just one on one. They have so many fun drinks to try.
Perfect vibe for any occasion-date, friends, party. The drinks aged good (nothing too special in my opinion) but the atmosphere is just on point. We came in on Friday night around 7pm & were seated with no issues. I'd recommend.

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.
A must-visit destination for all Montreal tourists! Great ambiance, phenomenol service & great drinks. It starts at the door. Very humble bouncers, & once you are seated, great hostesses charm you with the offerings. Ours was able to do a good read of rum vs. whisky. & then we had a couple more rounds. Everyone is welcome (three single guys In my case), but this is an amazing place to bring a date. The DJ is spectacular, too! Awesome transitions. Thank you for a great night. Would love to visit again!!
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.

This place is such a vibe, & Eric is an absolute gem working there. 10/10 would recommend as a cool Montreal spot. Cocktails are amazing & it's a great date spot. Music was trendy.
Love the bathrooms, they have a very pleasant & civilized locking mechanism. The nicest I've seen in the business to date. Our friend couldn't figure it out, but she's French so that's OK.

My boyfriend took me there on a date & it was the perfect place! I was tempted by the Fuego Pina & was right: served in a carved pineapple, the drink was superb & I could eat the fruit. Whether for a date or a catchup with a long-time friend, a very cozy lounge. Absolutely recommended!
This is a perfect spot for a date or a night with friends. Very cozy the music is great & the cocktail are really good. All staff is amazing but the star of the shows is Jessica.
