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.
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.

Nothing to complain about, the food was amazing, our table was really nice & we didn't even have a reservation, great vibe & the service was consistent.

Bernie's Pizza Martini Bar what can I say.. The West-Island needed a spot like this. Cool atmosphere, unpretentious vibe, straightforward menu, good food & drinks & excellent friendly service. I would recommend reserving if you want to be guaranteed a table as this place was still full past 10pm.
I loved the atmosphere. It was like a slice of downtown in the West Island. The 70s decor & vibes were great. Martinis were well-crafted, pizza was fresh & tasty & staff was friendly.
Bernie's Pizza Martini Bar is clearly doing something right, expect to wait even with a reservation, as the place is packed even on quieter nights. Kudos to management for creating that level of demand.
I went with a large group, which gave us the chance to try several items. Overall, the food is good, not great. Since this is oven-style pizza, some traditional pies, like the margherita, lose a bit of authenticity. In my opinion, the choice of cheese is what holds the pizzas back. It felt somewhat processed & affected the overall flavor.
We tried the funghi, margherita, hot pepper, & classic veggie pizzas. On the plus side, the burrata was excellent, very creamy & flavorful, & easily one of the highlights of the meal.
The atmosphere is cozy with a fun vibe, making it a great spot for date nights or big groups. The staff were very friendly, & there's a strong selection of wines, cocktails, & mocktails. It's a little on the pricey side, but still worth the visit.
Overall, a solid experience. With a different mozzarella, I genuinely think the pizzas could be top-notch.
What an amazing addition to the west island! Everything was excellent from start to finish. Great starters (burata with a hot honey was awesome), excellent pizzas & great martinis! Great vibe & service as well! Get the cookie at end & thank me later! Hope this place lasts a long long time!
Really great food & vibe... Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the tight spacing with tables. Tables of two are spaced 2 inches from each other with other tables on either side of you. Felt like farm cattle shoulder-to-shoulder at the feeding troughs. Pretty odd dinner sitting so close to strangers. Otherwise food itself & drinks were great
The pizza was amazing & all the food was very good & high quality. The service was impeccable & the vibe was very good. Can't wait to go again! A lot of great options for cocktails & martinis.

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!
Nice place with a fun vibe. Drinks were good, started with meatballs which were very good. Pizza toppings were excellent but the base of the pizza was just okay for me. Seeing as we came for the pizza that was somewhat of a disappointment. But the overall experience still keeps it at a 4/5. We had the skillet cookie with ice cream which was very tasty
Food was amazing, the vibes 🤌🏼, theres a changing table for kids in the bathroom, staff is so nice, the service was wow, the drinks were UP THERE. so gooood. we had a blast best spot everrrrrr !!!!

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.
