Reviews of Hang Bar consistently describe a stylish, welcoming Montreal spot where the ambiance and décor are standout features, with a warm, modern vibe and occasional live DJ nights that add energy. The food is widely praised for freshness and flavor, with several dishes noted as especially tasty and beautifully presented, and the menu described as innovative and good for sharing. Cocktails are frequently highlighted as excellent and inventive, though a few diners feel prices are high for what is delivered. Service is often praised for friendliness and attentiveness, yet there are isolated critiques of uneven or slow service and one New Years Eve experience that left guests frustrated and seeking refunds. The venue is seen as a great setting for dates or girls nights, and many reviews encourage a return visit to enjoy the food, drinks and vibe, calling Hang Bar a must visit in the old port.
Came to dine with a friend ordered half of the menu along with some cocktails. Overall generally impressed for it being Vietnamese influenced restaurant. I would reorder the ribs, scallops, tartare & luc lac to share. Interior is warm & welcoming. The staff were great & attentive & the service great overall.
Cass was wonderful with explaining the cocktails! Vietnamese espresso martini was great.
If you like Fine Vietnamese cuisine, actually if you like tasty food, you need to try Hang. amazing food, amazing service! A must if you're visiting Montreal.

Have in mind this is a Vietnamese inspired fusion restaurant so do not expect to have your traditional Pho or other dishes. This place has an amazing ambiance, great customer service & food is very good but not excellent. My wife & I had a great time & would recommend this place for a date night.
It's an upscale Vietnamese restaurant. Nice atmosphere & friendly staff. Didn't have live music when I went but the whole dining experience was pleasant. Our bartender was super & our drinks were very tasty. Food was delicious & we were definitely go back! Highly recommend!
This place is an amazing spot to settle down, eat high quality vietnamese food, drink marvelous & unique cocktails & just hang out with friends or family! Favorite spot near the Old Port !

I have mixed feelings about this upscale Vietnamese restaurant. We were so excited to try this new Instagrammable restaurant. The first thing that rubbed me the wrong way was the host: she was unfriendly & to be honest, even rude. Not sure if it was a bad day for her, but I believe the professional attitude (especially when you're the first that customers see when they come in) is at least to pretend to be nice. The highlight of this place is the cocktails. They are well balanced, original & delicious. The food was not holistically good. What I mean by that is that the ingredients were quality & fresh, but the sauce & the balance were not to the point, always missing the mark. For example, it was either too salty from too much sauce or one dish even felt like they used sweet chili sauce from the jar. We were a big group, so was limited in time for 2 hours. The waiter was super nice & friendly, but we had to leave at the 2-hour mark, although no one was waiting for our seats. This is a place you go once for the experience, but will not earn my money again. What they did well: - Drinks - It's beautiful, although it does like better on IG - the waiter we had was very friendly & polite Rooms for improvements: - definitely replacing the host we got (1/26/24 at 6pm) for someone more suitable to greet people - the dishes ! Great ideas & concepts, but execution is not there yet on all the dishes
Beautiful decor & ambiance. Thoughtfully crafted menu that does a quirky but artful job blending traditional Vietnamese flavors with a Francophone twist. Great place to wow your date. & the broth is NOT optional - you won't regret it.
Embarked on a flavor adventure at a Vietnamese restaurant & ordered the most exotic cocktail: Elijah Craig with a splash of Vietnamese pesto, a hint of passion fruit, & a surprise dragon fruit twist! 🍹🐉 My taste buds are on a wild ride! Cheers to daring flavor combinations & culinary escapades! #CocktailAlchemy #DragonFruitMagic #PestoTwist
The best service & the best Vietnamese I've had in a while. I came this past Friday with a couple of friends, the hostess (I forgot her name but it starts with a D) was super sweet & offered us the bar, & I was greeted by the nicest bartender. Had the pho & the tartare. It was perfection. The manager kept coming to see us & asking if everything was going well. Thank you again & can't wait to come back.

Upscale Vietnamese food with fancy ingredients such as gold leaf, bone marrow & foie gras. The phò with bone marrow was great (bone marrow was a little too salty for me) with excellent phò broth. Loved the BB rolls (my absolute fave), beef salad was also excellent. Luc lac was also great.
I recently went to Hang Bar, a Vietnamese restaurant, & I have mixed feelings about the experience. The first thing that struck me was the charming aesthetic of the place, it's beautifully designed & visually pleasing. The service was also on point, with attentive staff. However, I did encounter a significant downside during my visit - the loud music. It was so deafening that I couldn't even hold a conversation with my friend. While the music itself was enjoyable, I felt it was a bit overbearing, especially given that it was 10 pm, & I presume they wanted to create a lively ambiance. Moving on to the food, I had a bit of a hit-&-miss experience. We ordered the ribs hai hau, which had a generous portion for $19, but it felt like it needed something on the side to make it a complete meal. The banh mi fois gras was a disappointment; it was exceptionally small, not even 6 inches, & priced at $22, which felt overpriced for what you got. On the bright side, the Da Nang fried wings were delicious, but they proved to be a challenge to eat gracefully in a setting that seemed more suited for fine dining. Where Hang Bar did shine was in their cocktails. The cocktails were top-notch, & if I were to return, it would likely be for the drinks. In summary, Hang Bar is a cute spot with a great aesthetic, good service, & fantastic cocktails. However, the loud music, mixed food quality, & pricing for some dishes make me hesitate to return for a full dining experience. If I were to go back, it would be only for a cocktail outing.
Haute Vietnamese cuisine with a modern twist in a beautifully designed setting. Loved the pho wagyu & marrow bone sprinkled with gold leaf, as well as the cocktails.
