Finding this place took a minute, but the effort was so worth it. We were seated at the bar & thoroughly enjoyed our cocktails while watching the seriously AMAZING experts behind the bar make these original blends. The DJ was fantastic. Montreal has an incredible club scene... don't miss one of the very best!

Double review, of the old place & new First went there about a year ago. Small, but the drinks were great, staff was friendly & quick. I loved the little food menu from the place upstairs. The special drinks were amazing & i ordered several. Fast forward to the new location. The bar looks amazing. Lot more open then the old place. The bouncers were friendly & joking with us while we waited for a place. This is where the slight disappointment started. Once seated we waiting almost 30 mins for a server to come see us. People seated after us got served their drinks before the even took our order. In 1 hour we saw our server once. I'll give them that it was a busy evening, but it was irritating. The drinks were ok, I am not sure if they changed the recipe or ingredients since the old location but Le Mal Necessaire tasted a lot different then the old one. Maybe the pineapple was from concentrate? Something didn't taste the same in it. Still good but I'd drop the rating a star of how it used to be. & they don't have the snack menu anymore. SO over all great looking place. But maybe a victim of its own success? I didn't have the rude experience that some seem to speak of but our server took even longer to bring our bill then to take the drinks. another server saw us getting annoyed & came to help us. So service was mixed, drinks were better at the old place. But they layout was great. Good atmosphere. Maybe it was an off day.

Was looking for a nice quiet bar - this was not it. I'm sure with friends it would be nice, but not what I was looking fo

Jess is amazing. Fun, friendly & incredibly talented. Drinks are fresh, creative & delicious. Will be back for sure. Could not help but try everything on the menu & some originals. Miraculously felt pretty good in the AM.

New location a bit hard to find with no outdoor sign. Great service, nicely atmospheric lighting. Signature Mal Nécessaire had delicious fresh pineapple flavour but presentation could be a bit more polished without rubber bands holding bamboo matte around glass.
