Bar Numero is described as a sleek, intimate cocktail bar with a minimalist, chic vibe and warm lighting that makes it ideal for date nights or catching up with friends. The drinks are consistently praised for creativity and balance, with signature and avant-garde cocktails that feel thoughtfully crafted and a menu that offers surprising and delicious combinations, all served by an attentive, friendly staff that enhances the experience. While a few remarks note tight space, occasional reservation hiccups, or rare moments of imperfect service, the consensus is that Bar Numero is a rising standout in Montreal’s cocktail scene, often cited as among the best in the city or country, and a place to return to for memorable drinks like Presto and Cherry Bomb.
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 & attentive. I really loved all the high-end touches. You are well taken care of from the moment you walk through the door.
I am looking forward to returning soon like ASAP! Thank you Numéro for a great evening out 🙌🏻
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.

Honestly such a nice place with high quality cocktails & an atmosphere to match. Had such a great experience & service with one of the best staffs around, I highly recommend & will be going back
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 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.
Alex, Vincent & the whole team always give over the top service! The cheese selection is fancy & the cocktails are made perfect. Even the soap in the washroom is upper echelon. Been there 10+ times & never disappointed! 100% recommend ❤?
Our favorite bar of the trip. A perfectly chill ambiance inside with a comfortable bar setup & a great drink menu. Kalila was an incredible bartender, very friendly & made great cocktails. My favorites being Biscuit Matcha & the Tommy Biscoff. The vibe here was great & would highly recommend the visit.

Won't be surprised if one of the best cocktail bars in Canada next year. Excellent & creative drinks, well balanced. We were recommended to go by Mon Lapin, & it didn't disappoint.
Here's a sure bet: Numero will absolutely be a part of top 50 lists, & become one of Montreal's premiere cocktail bars. Just give them a little time...2025 guides are already out, & as of this review, Numero has only been serving for 2 weeks!
This is not wild exaggeration. If you've had the pleasure to explore some internationally buzzed about bars, the distinction could not be clearer: from first sip, the DNA of their drinks exude class, confidence, & quiet sophistication, with flavours & ingredients so dialed in, you'd think this was their hundredth menu.
The space is comfortable & lit beautifully, hues tuned to a sultry perpetual sunset, but it was especially warm in the care of bartenders Akash & Kalila. Engaging & welcoming, their care, refinement, & skill in both mixing & hosting were palpable; thank you both for such a fantastic evening! As such, I cannot recommend bar seating enough for the closest & fullest experience.
I could go on & on. Suffice to say, we were blown away: it is rare to find cocktails so gourmand, we closed our eyes to luxuriate in the subtleties like a fine wine. These creations are not content to impress with a quick hit of satisfaction, but truly evolve on the nose & tongue.
Our biggest regret this trip to Montreal was discovering this perfection on our final day. Give them a visit, & I think you'll agree! We'd wish them every success, but we don't need to; with this space, this team, & this brazen creativity, Numero's success is assured!
