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.
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.
Came to Numero around 11pm with my office colleagues after a dinner, we were a group of 10 people, the bar was half empty & the waitress refused serve our group saying that they don't want groups because'its not the vibe of the bar'. We offered to split up the group in two & sit at two different places & she still would not sit us. We weren't a rowdy group. Refusing business like this is very off putting.
This place is amazing, very minimalistic from a decor perspective but I assume that's in order to focus on the drinks…speaking of which they're absolutely fantastic. Without exaggerating, their cocktails may truly be the best I've ever had in my life. Crazy ingredients (pesto, parmesan cheese to name a couple), yet delicious. They turn alcoholic beverages into digestible works of art. There is no way this place doesn't become an overnight sensation.
Bar Manager, Akosh (sorry if I totally spelled your name wrong), is great, chill guy & makes killer drinks. He was so accommodating & friendly, even came around the bar to put help me put my coat on lol. I wish him & everyone else the best of luck. Will absolutely be back whenever we're in town.
Heard about this new bar called Numero & decided to check it out. Let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint. The drinks are next-level amazing.
But the real star of the show was bartender, Akash. That guy is the best! So cool to talk to & he really took care of me. Felt like we were just hanging out at a friend's super fancy home bar.
Seriously, the whole night was perfect. 1 million out of 10, no notes. You gotta go.
Minimalist meets brutalist meets mood ring vibes…. What a brilliant spot for cocktails, the service was stellar & the drinks were extraordinary… Looking forward to going back.
From the owners of the restaurant with the best cocktail program in the city, it should be no surprise that this place, though in its infancy, already has such a strong offering & solid service.
Every drink is interesting & delicious, the ambiance is on point with a great aesthetic. The concept just works.
Will become a staple of hospitality in Montreal in no time.
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!
Great service by Vincent! amazing service & phenomenal drinks. Very sleek looking. Music not too loud. Great first date place. Cute towels in bathroom for hands. attention to detail 100/10
The attention to detail is at an all-time high. From the overall aesthetic to the glassware, everything is stunning. Unique decor, innovative drinks, cool staff. & they have 50 on tap. Great addition to the neighborhood!
