Bernie's Pizza Martini Bar is widely regarded as a vibrant and trendy destination in the West Island, known for its lively atmosphere, stylish decor, and extensive selection of martinis. Many patrons praise the menu for its delicious, thin-crust pizzas, fresh salads, and popular appetizers like the meatballs and burrata dip. While numerous visitors highlight the impeccable, friendly, and attentive service, the restaurant is consistently described as being very cramped, with tables placed closely together, which can lead to high noise levels and a lack of privacy. Although the vast majority of guests have a wonderful experience, some feedback notes inconsistencies in food quality, such as burnt crusts or overly salty sauces, and occasional frustrations regarding reservation availability and unexpected pricing surcharges.
Came here for supper with 5 other people. We tried 4 different pizzas (fun guy, hot pep, all dressed, & veggie). They were all extremely delicious. The caesar salad was super good too. Service was excellent also! Only little comment that some people in the group made was that the music was a little too loud.
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!

Not sure why this place is so popular in West Island… my guess - the drink menu gives them the edge when compared with other pizza places in the area. In terms of service, we went at opening time during a weekend, we had a reservation. When we arrived, the owner (or manager) was sitting at the bar working on a laptop/tablet, a few of the staff member clearly looked at us while they were still doing what they were doing, no one walked towards us (at the entrance) until a good 5-8 minutes later when the owner finally acknowledged us & made a gesture to someone so they came to find our reservation & seated us… just weird. The waiter assigned to us after was nice. Food is OK, portions are generous, in particular anything that includes fries, you will get a LOT. Avoid the ribs. Some of us ordered wine & immediately we agreed that our glasses were served extremely cold, it wasn't possible to taste it & enjoy it. Tables layout makes it impossible to have a nice conversation. They are extremely cramped together almost like a communal table. Chairs are quite uncomfortable.
Easily one of the best dining experiences I've had in the last year. Casual, comfy with excellent service. The pizza was light, crispy & savoury. We received our order within 15 minutes which was a pleasant surprise. Will definitely be back.
Everything from the drinks, pizza to the desserts were spot on. The vibe was amazing. I thought I was downtown & I only drove 10 mins. This is what the west island has truly been missing. A real gem of a place. Keep those standards up & this place should be open for a long time.
Bernie's Pizza Martini Bar is a hidden gem! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm & inviting, with just the right balance of trendy & cozy. The pizza? Absolutely phenomenal - perfectly crispy crust, fresh toppings, & bursting with flavor. Pair that with their creative martini selection, & you're in for a treat! The staff is friendly, attentive, & clearly passionate about what they do. Bernie's hits all the right places. The owner welcomed us with open arms, will definitely be coming back!
Lovely spot in West Island that offers great things crust pizza. Service & ambiance were great. We had the spicy Bernie's which was impeccable. They have a house blend blonde beer that's really good & crisp. & we loved the cookie dessert. Very good idea to reserve in advance as it gets packed quickly.
