Bar Numero is described as a standout in Montreal's cocktail scene, offering a sophisticated, intimate setting with a sleek, moody vibe and warm lighting that feels exclusive yet welcoming. The cocktails are consistently inventive and well balanced, with precise technique and artful presentation, and sitting at the bar is often recommended to witness the bartending craft up close. Service is repeatedly praised for attentiveness and polish, helping guests feel well cared for from arrival to departure even when the venue is busy. The space blends minimalism with a luxe feel, making it ideal for a date night or a relaxed catch up with friends, and while prices sit on the higher side and the room can be compact, the creative drinks, refined atmosphere and standout staff make Bar Numero a must try in Montreal.
(Review written after visiting on Thursday 30th April circa 9pm) This place left a sour taste in our mouths. Despite the very chic decor & ambient music, my partner & I felt rushed to quickly order a second round of drinks while we were still finishing our first round & taking in the atmosphere. They kept asking us every few minutes if we wanted another round & despite being one of the newest customers to arrive, & there still being space left, one of the bartenders just handed us the cheque without us even asking (ie effectively kicking us out). This was as we were discussing possibly getting a second round or maybe an appetiser. To be clear - we are a respectable young professional couple travelling from the UK & we didn't cause any disturbance. This was the first time at any establishment where we genuinely felt unwelcome. This ruined our evening - what a shame since we were initially very happy to be here. This place felt very snobbish, not genuinely classy.
If you're going to Numero, do yourself a favor & ask for Jackson behind the bar.
This was easily one of the best bar experiences I've had. Jackson doesn't just make drinks - he reads the room, understands your vibe, & recommends exactly what you didn't even know you were in the mood for. Every suggestion he made was spot on.
What stood out most was his ability to elevate the entire experience. The drinks were incredible, but it was his insight, energy, & attention to detail that made the night unforgettable. You can tell he genuinely cares about what he's doing & takes pride in delivering a top-tier experience.
If you want your night to hit different, Jackson is the guy. I'll be recommending him to everyone.
As a self-proclaimed cocktail connoisseur, I've seen many bars open in this city. But Numéro has instantly claimed, in my opinion it's spot as one of the absolute best in Montréal. If you're looking for a very sophisticated, world-class experience in an intimate setting, well this new place is it!
The Atmosphere & Vibe:
Numéro is a masterclass in mood. It's a small, sleek space with a unique, high-end atmosphere that feels exclusive without being pretentious. We booked for 9 PM on a Saturday, & the place was electric-completely packed with a stylish crowd. The warm, moody lighting & minimalist design make it the perfect spot for a date night or a deep catch-up with close friends.
The Cocktails:
The drink menu here is exceptional. Each cocktail is a work of art, both in flavor profile & presentation.
• Precision & Flair: (See the video!) Watching the bartenders work is half the experience. The level of technique, from the rhythmic shaking to the precise garnishing is top-tier. I highly recommend to sit at the bar.
• Innovative Flavors: We tried several drinks, & the balance of ingredients was flawless. Whether you like something refreshing & bright or deep & complex, the execution is impeccable.
Service:
What truly sets Numéro apart is the service. Despite the bar being at capacity, the staff remained incredibly friendly & very attentive. I really loved all the high-end touches. I've got to admit that you are well taken care of from the moment you walk through the door!
I am looking forward to returning very soon! Thank you Numéro for a great evening out 🙌🏻

Très beau bar avec une super ambiance. Les cocktails sont originaux & différents des autres endroits, j'ai vraiment aimé. Le décor & la lumière sont magnifiques, la musique était très bonne aussi. Service impeccable. Parfait pour une soirée relax !
This bar easily rivals any from New York. The drinks were innovative & leaned on the savory, which we really enjoyed. Had the best absolute time with my girls on our trip here, we were fans of every drink we tried. Kalila is not only funny & sweet, but also makes one of the best (tiny) & smoothest martinis I've ever had. She also gave us a great dinner recommendation nearby, basically making our last evening in Montréal so enjoyably delicious. Shoutout to Kalila if you're reading this!

A must try in montreal!!
Some of the highest level mixology i have come across, next to many of the best bars in the world in Bangkok. Everything no matter was perfectly balanced yet complex & unique. The vibes are so correct.
I am obsessed with the peche origane (left) & the glow on (right) wow what flavours & mouth feel!! cherry bomb was also very unique & well made just not my personal favourite though it is perfect
Super belle ambiance, parfaite pour une date ou un nightcap. L'endroit est esthétique & on s'y sent bien pour discuter & prendre le temps. Félix au bar est très attentif aux préférences pour les cocktails & s'ajuste facilement, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus agréable. J'ai aussi apprécié les petites attentions, comme le verre d'eau toujours rempli. Je recommande le Tommy Biscoff & le Presto.
Casual & curated snacks, effortlessly cool vibe, genuine service, but they really shined with unreal cocktails - as a very nerdy bartender this place is SPOT ON with what's up a coming with cocktail science in the most unique & in pretentious way. If I lived here this would be a go-to spot for me. 11/10.
Fabulous bar with a unique atmosphere. High end service, delicious cocktails & friendly staff. The stainless bar countertop, low lighting & music reminds me of Japan or NY. Highly recommend. Perfect for a date night or catching up with close friends.

I had such an incredible experience at this bar that I had to leave a review, even though I never write them. The vibes were amazing from the moment I walked in. Alex, the bartender, is truly exceptional. His attention to detail is on another level. My martini glass was already half?drank, & he still took the time to switch it into a perfectly chilled glass without me even asking. I work in the service industry & I've never had service like that. Absolutely outstanding. I'll definitely be back!
Numero should be called Numero 1!!! All jokes aside, this bar is very promising. As the co-owner of a cocktail page & amateur bartender (but professional drinker), I can whole-heartedly say that Numero has great potential to become a forerunner in mixology in Canada. Bringing us a cocktail list that we rarely see in the city, with avant-garde drinks & fresh innovation! Huge s/o to the team: Alex, Akash, Action Jackson, Kayila! I could be biased, but check it for yourself, they will treat you like friends, family & distinguished individuals.
I don't know how much Jackson is paid, but it's not enough his service, recommandation & his barstanding skills are hors-pair. The ambiance of the bar give an Omakase style for audacious & delicious cocktail.
Excellente adresse pour les amateurs de cocktails bien travaillés. Nous avons goûté trois cocktails signatures & ils étaient tous remarquables, tant au niveau des saveurs que de la présentation (mention spéciale pour le travail des glaçons). Les prix sont élevés, mais la créativité & le savoir-faire justifient pleinement l'expérience. Ambiance intime, sobre & cozy, idéale pour un tête-à-tête
