Reviews describe Bernie's Pizza Martini Bar as a busy, stylish spot with a vibrant vibe where thin crust pizzas, flavorful toppings, and a wide range of martinis and cocktails are frequently praised. The space is often lively and can be perfect for date nights or groups, and portions are generous enough to share, with friendly, attentive service highlighted by many. While the food and drinks are generally well received, some reviews note occasional uneven kitchen results, a noisy atmosphere, and high prices, so reservations are recommended to secure a table.
Lovely place, I understand more now why it's difficult to book a table, I would love to be able to go more often but with the size of the restaurant I think it's reasonable to say they can't seat everyone, especially during rush hours & weekends but then again, the wait is worth it! The flavors of their pizza & garlic bread are just addictive plus for the price & decor, the whole place is just perfect for night out with friends or dates.
We went for a group birthday party last night - which is always a good test for how a restaurant performs - & it was delicious! Very fairly priced group menu at $45 pp & included multiple appetizers like Caesar salad, crispy/spicy calamari, mini fried chicken sliders (my fave) & cheesy garlic buns. You get one pizza per group of 4 but you can do half/half for toppings & it's a large thin crust pizza cut into squares so more than enough. We got the hot pep & the ricotta (nut-free) pesto & both were very tasty! The dessert was a the kicker bc I haven't had a good old fashion large cookie freshly baked with an ice cream on top in years at a resto! Everything was really good & the vibe was on point.

The food wasn't what I expected. I would say the portions are big for what you're paying but it wasn't that different than other oven pizzas I've tried, & the Caesar salad was kind of bland. The garlic bread was the deal breaker.
Really enjoyed this place !
The vibe is cozy, yet sophisticated. The drink menu has lots of options & the food was good!
The pizza really tasty. I loved the garlic bread rolls, it was a little sweet. Cesar salad was good. We tried the meatballs as well. I was a little disappointed in the calamari, but the rest compensated. Overall I really enjoyed my experience at Bernie's & would definitely come back!
Loved everything about this place!! Service was hands on & excellent! We ordered the all dressed pizza, thin crust was crunchy & loaded with toppings. I haven't had an old style pizza in ages & it was absolutely delicious! Every bite!! The garlic rolls had a slight sweetness to it which just compliments the butter & is loaded with melted cheese & grated cheese! My'Sunflower' martini was amazing! I will add that It's price smarter to get the bottle of wine then get a single glass. Thank You Bernie's for a great meal & wonderful experience! I'll be back & I'll be back often😊
I really liked the vibe in this place. In particular, the bar is really cool. The service was good, & despite being packed on a Saturday night, we did not have to wait long for a table. Had the cheesy garlic rolls & a pizza along with a dirty martini & all were extremely delicious.
If you're a food lover in Montreal's West Island, missing out on Bernie's Pizza Martini Bar would be a culinary crime. This gem of a spot marries cozy, upscale vibes with a menu that delivers both creativity & comfort in every bite. Whether you're a regular or a first-time guest, Bernie's guarantees a memorable dining experience, one that leaves your taste buds dancing & your heart fullest.
Take one look at this pizza & you'll understand why it steals the show. Perfectly cooked with a golden, crispy crust, this half-&-half masterpiece showcases the kitchen's range. One side is generously topped with mini pepperoni, pepperocini peppers & Mike's hot honey, bringing a perfect balance of spice & tang that complements the melty, rich mozzarella. The other half? A mushroom lover's dream. Earthy, caramelized mushrooms blanket the cheesy surface, adding deep umami flavor that pairs wonderfully with the subtle sharpness of the cheese & truffle flavours. It's a pizza that caters to every craving & executes both halves to perfection.
If you're looking for something hearty & soul-warming, Bernie's meatball dish is simply divine. These aren't your average meatballs they're tender, juicy, & bursting with flavor, served in a robust tomato sauce that's clearly been simmered to perfection. You can taste the love & old-school Italian influence in every bite. It's the kind of dish that transports you straight to Nonna's Sunday dinner table with a little bit of a twist due to the cinnamon notes you get as well.
Even a Caesar salad gets the star treatment at Bernie's. Crisp romaine is tossed in a creamy, tangy house-made dressing that hits all the right notes garlicky, savory, with a hint of lemon. Topped with fresh parmesan shavings & crispy croutons, it's a refreshingly bold starter that could easily stand alone as a light, satisfying meal.

Food: The Signature Ceasar was delicious & Bernies Beef Sliders were juicy & flavourful. The fries gave off serious McDonald's vibes (in a good way!) But the real MVP was the Cheesy Garlic Rolls. Absolutely to die for! We were too full so we didn't get to try the pizza.
Atmosphere: The decor was super cozy. However, the space was extremely cramped. Tables were so close together it felt like I was sharing dinner with the next party. The music was too loud, making conversation a bit of a challenge. On top of that, I felt a bit rushed, which detracted from what could have been a more relaxing dining experience.
All i can say is wow!! The food, ambiance, & staff they were all amazing!
I recommend the pepperoni pizza with sliders & the garlic cheese bunns! Yummy!😋
Calamari, garlic cheese rolls, sliders, salad, meatballs, pizza, & the warm cookie were absolutely to die for! The service was fantastic. Will definitely be coming back
Super fun restaurant! My 3 friends & I split a Cesar salad, garlic bread & one pizza & that was more than enough food! Everything was delicious & the martinis were great.

I absolutely recommend it here. We enjoyed all of our food. The fried chicken sliders were 10/10, as was the cheesy garlic rolls. The caesar salad & pizza are great for sharing. The drinks are good as well. My only negative is that it feels like they are trying to rush you out of the restaurant as fast as possible. I was a server so I understand why, but it doesn't create the best experience. Our table was 20 minutes late & then we felt like we were on a time clock. Overall, will definitely be going back.
Food was amazing!! Ordered the cheesy garlic bread, sliders, pizza & ceasar salad & cookie skillet. Everything was to die for & we finished everything. Pro tip get the lichee strawberry mock tail it's so yum. Service was astounding, our waiter Steve was super friendly & fun. Overall great experience will be back soon :)
Love this place!!! Came here for my birthday on Saturday & the whole family loved it. When we arrived we had a short wait to our table & were given a different table than previously anticipated but it worked out to be even better ! Everyone loved the food we ordered; the ceaser salad, the garlic rolls, sliders (chicken & beef) & a variety of pizz (they do half half !) & we loved every bite. The owner sent over some dessert for my birthday at the end & it was great. Oh & don't skip on the baked chocolate chip cookie !!!! The West Island needed a place like this!
Great food, service & vibes! We were 8 people seated at a cozy round table. Everything we ate & drank we thoroughly enjoyed including: Caesar salad, Pizza Margherita, Pizza Cheese, Pizza Pepperoni, Fried chicken sliders, Beef sliders, House skinny fries, Cheesy garlic rolls, Ranch dip, Hot honey dip, Bernie's Blonde beer, gin cucumber cocktail, & a hot chocolate chip cookie in a skillet with vanilla ice cream! Fairly priced. Highly recommend & definitely will be coming back.

Great atmosphere & ambience. Service was top notch & good was amazing! Definitely have the cheesy garlic rolls, the beef sliders & try the pizza!! It was all amazing! Had the mushroom pizza as well as the meat lovers! Make sure to add the spicy oil!! Overall a great place in the west island. Martinis were also top notch!
This place really lived up to the hype. We ordered the pepperoni pizza, meatballs, garlic cheese bread, & fried chicken sliders. We loved everything. The pizza is very thin crispy/firm dough. If you want to make it extra sexy, ask for the spicy oil. The cheesy garlic bread is good. Its so good that you might have two pieces or more pieces & fill up accidentally. The meatballs are phenomenal. They're small & tender & tasty. The sauce is wonderful. The fried chicken slider comes with a pickle & a mayo based sauce. I was told that it was very good. The decor is old school pizzeria. The only downside for us was crying babies. That is what you get for going for dinner early. Excellent service from Stavros. Highly recommended. We will be back for sure.
