Reviews describe Bernie's Pizza Martini Bar as a lively, stylish spot with a cozy yet upscale vibe where thin crust pizzas, inventive toppings, and a broad list of martinis and cocktails sit beside attentive service. Praises focus on burrata, calamari, Caesar salad, meatballs, and pizzas, with many enjoying the option to split pizzas or choose half-and-half toppings. The atmosphere is described as fun and convivial, making it a good choice for date nights or groups, and the outdoor terrace is a welcome feature. Reservations are often recommended because the place fills up quickly and seating can be tight and loud when busy. Occasional drawbacks include pizzas that are burnt or overly salty, and some feel the pricing is high. Gluten-free crust options are noted as a positive. Overall the spot is viewed as a strong addition to the area, delivering good food, strong drinks, and a memorable vibe that keeps guests returning.
Everything that we ordered was hot, fresh & delicious! Pizzas, meatballs & Cesar salad were fabulous. Servers were attentive & very pleasant. This was our 1st time there. Can't wait to go back!
Met some friends for dinner. We were warmly greeted by the hostess & told our table was being cleaned. We were then led to our table with a smile. The place was full & is quite loud but expected for the average age group of the clientele. Our waitress Paige was excellent. Friendly & just engaging enough. Our friends got their appetizer 10 minutes before we got ours & they were kind enough to wait for ours to arrive. Not sure why they didn't come out together so a small hiccup. We ordered the ribs as a starter & they were excellent. Very tender & flavourful. The sauce reminded me of Tony Romas. Then for dinner we shared a Caesar salad & an all dressed pizza. I loved how the salad was prepared with chunks of lettuce. What I didn't like was almost no croutons & the dressing had a bit too much mayo & no anchovies which definitely affected the taste. Overall a decent salad. The pizza is quite large & was very good but found it too salty. I think that the pepperoni may have been the culprit. All in all an enjoyable meal & recommended.
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😊
Excellent customer service, delicious & tasty food. We were served by Mandy & she made sure we were well taken care of: answered all our questions & made sure that our experience went smoothly. As for the food, the batter in the crispy chicken in the sliders was well seasoned (not too salty unlike other places, yet packed a punch), chicken in was tender & juicy. Came with the right amount of pickle & sauce to add a bit of zing. The lemon in the Caesar salad really tied everything together. Hot pep came with a generous amount of pepperoni, honey, & hot pepper. Very pleased & very generous portions. Would come again!
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.

I decided to plan my birthday here for 14 people a few weeks in advance, as normal things happen a few people had to cancel, not only did they text me to confirm my reservation, the morning of my reservation they texted me asking how many people were going to be coming to this reservation. They were very accommodating & polite considering how busy the restaurant always is. Outstanding service, food, atmosphere & employees. I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant.
Great little spot in the West. Always busy so make sure to reserve. The food is delicious & well priced, ideal for sharing. Their pizzas are thin crust with generous toppings without feeling heavy.
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.
Our first visit to Bernie's was a resounding success. Literally the best calamari I've ever had, delicious pizza & exquisite & inventive martinis. Our server was super friendly & attentive. We'll definitely be back again soon.

The food here is very good but the restaurant is very cramped. Unless you're a big group & can secure a booth, you're pretty much sitting on the lap of the people next to you. It's way too tight to not feel awkward & like you want to get out as quickly as possible. It's a shame because the food is tasty.
The pizzas were okay, though a little too burnt for my taste.
We sat outside on the terrace, which was much better than being inside where it felt cramped.
The martinis were refreshing & delicious.
Excellent restaurant, finally found a spot for a perfect pizza, great service & amazing ambiance. Special thanks to the owner Mr. Jordan for this gem, & for the bottle!
Great service from Sam. Very attentive & polite, was there to answer all our questions with a huge smile.
In addition, the food was excellent & all of Sams recommendations hit the spot.
Very nice spot for a drink & dinner. The outdoor patio is nice although not much to look at other than traffic lol. I wish they had more options on tap as they had only house beer & one other. Pizza was actually fantastic, nice crispy bottom & toppings were perfect.
