Dans l'ensemble, Bernie's Pizza Martini Bar est perçu comme un endroit chaleureux et animé où pizzas fines et généreuses, calamari, sliders et une carte de cocktails variée cohabitent avec une ambiance urbaine et conviviale; le service est généralement attentif et sympathique, l'atmosphère est cosy mais parfois bruyante et les tables serrées, et la terrasse est appréciée bien que l'espace intérieur puisse être étroit; la qualité des plats est globalement bonne à excellente avec des pizzas croustillantes et des accompagnements savoureux, certains commentaires pointant des pizzas parfois brûlées ou un manque de finesse dans certaines préparations et des prix élevés; malgré cela le consensus est positif et la plupart envisagent de revenir, en recommandant de réserver pour obtenir une table et profiter d'un moment convivial et partageable.
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 liked the place but the food is average. 3⭐? would be viewed as negative & not what I mean to convey. It's just average. Drinks are good. The burrata dip is bland, barely any hot honey & no sign of the everything bagel seasoning. The pizza is ok, I wouldn't place it in the top 10 that I've had. The Fun Guy pizza is tasty. They charged an additional $4 to add sausage - I've had an easier time finding Waldo compared to finding the sausage on the pizza. In summary, somewhat overpriced for what you get, I don't regret going & I wouldn't return. Service was really good.

Fantastic pizza spot ! The crust is very thin, perfectly baked & generous size. Every bite of that ceasar salad was satisfying , fresh & crisp. French fries, yum ! The bartender nailed my Hugo Spritz . Overall great experience !
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.
My friend & I showed up without a reservation & they could accommodate a spot at the bar & at first we were a little skeptical, but we were extremely comfortable in those seats & the bartenders were amazing & the service was remarkable. I would recommend sitting at the bar & watching them make a multitude of lovely martinis. The food was also amazing & piping hot. It was an overall amazing experience.
excellent food, you can taste the quality & freshness!
Owner is extremely nice & attentive to customers.
I highly recommend for an amazing pizza & great Drinks!! Bartenders are the best.
One my new favorite eateries! Bernies Pizza Bar. Beautifully decorated, wonderful & dedicated staff. Full bar with nice list of martinis to choose from. We had the very popular & generous Ceasar salad, a portion you share & the all dressed flat pizza, also generous & made for 2 or 3 people. Both absolutely delicious. We also had two of their popular martinis: a Cucumber Breeze martini & a Sunflower martini. Very nice & refreshing. Service by Antonia was an added pleasure. Although all staff are great. Great music too! But maybe just a little bit too loud. People have to talk a little louder. But not a deterrent!
I've always had a great experience at Bernie's except for the last time. The service was quite poor. Firstly, we reserved a few days in advance & it only said they had 9:30pm. Not a problem however the restaurant was totally empty on a Thursday night. We felt like a bother to the waitress when wanting to order more items I guess because it was late, but that isn't our fault. We did not a receive a last call so when wanting to order one last round of drinks (at 1030pm mind you) she said sorry kitchen & bar are closed. We then asked if we can take a pizza to go to have some family try it & she also said no. Pretty disappointed.
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.
Disappointed & disgusted with Bernie's Pizza Martini Bar July 5, 2025
Four us went here to celebrate my daughter's birthday. We chose 4 different pizzas so we could try a few different ones. To our shock, all the pizzas were burnt! Not just the outer crust but the bottoms of the pizzas as well. We called over our server, showed her the worst charred pizza & asked for a replacement. About 15 minutes later, the replacement arrived & it was burnt also. At this point we were fed up, asked for our bill & left, vowing to never return. Aside from the burnt pizzas (5 in all) the noise level is ridiculously loud & the tables are very tightly crammed in together. I gave 2 stars because they play great music & the decor is cute. Also, the Caesar salad was good as were the beef sliders & fries. You can see my full review with photos on West Island Honest Reviews & Breaking Bread West Island.
We had high hopes for Bernie's, & while the experience was decent overall, a few things held it back.
It was raining when we arrived & we had reserved a table on the terrace. Unfortunately, the host didn't make much of an effort to accommodate us inside & initially tried to seat us outdoors despite the weather, which left a bad first impression.
That said, the decor is great - cozy, stylish, & very welcoming. The ambiance was definitely a strong point.
The food was hit or miss. The sliders were quite tasty, but the pizza was on the dry side. For dessert, the chocolate cake was clearly store-bought - I've seen & tasted the exact same one at Costco. Overall, the menu could use more variety & freshness.
What really stood out, though, was our bartender/server. He was incredibly attentive & made sure we were well taken care of throughout the evening.
A nice spot with potential, but a few key things need improvement to make it truly memorable.

West Island Gem! Sat at the bar with a friend & had an amazing time. The ambiance was warm & inviting, with a vibe that made it easy to relax & enjoy the evening. The cheesy bread was unreal. Best Caesar salad I've ever had. Will definitely be back 🙌🏼
Le meilleur bar où je suis allé à Montréal, la nourriture & le personnel sont incroyables, je vous recommande d'y aller si vous êtes sur le chemin (& c'est très propre) N'y allez pas sans rendez-vous car il sera difficile de trouver une place ;)
Great start to the weekend. The drinks & wine prices are good. The pizza & salads are excellent. Bar tenders do an amazing job & add to the charm. Now I see why you need reservations. Extremely popular.
Bernie's Pizza Martini Bar was fantastic! The pizza, calamari, & Caesar salad were all amazing - fresh, flavorful, & clearly made with care. The martinis were also perfect, expertly mixed & a great complement to the meal.
The only downside was that the appetizers & main meal came out nearly at the same time, which made the table crowded & the meal feel rushed. It would be much better if the courses were staggered to allow guests to properly enjoy each dish.
Overall, a great spot that I would definitely visit again!
Victim of their popularity
This place is full so make a reservation.
Its full because its good , really good
The sliders hit the spot & the pizza's half & half option is a great way to try out their bestsellers. The ceasar salad is as good as it is instagramable (is this how you write that 🤔)
we were seated at the bar stuck between a service passage & a table of 6 that kept on moving around & still enjoyed ourselves.
