Milky Way Cocktail Bar earns high marks for inventive, well balanced cocktails and a visually stunning, immersive atmosphere that feels like a hidden gem. Reviewers describe a lively yet intimate vibe with friendly, attentive staff and a staff who guide guests through a broad and imaginative drinks menu. Many mention the extensive drink list, the quality of the cocktails, and the availability of mocktails, with a late night pizza option to end the evening. Several notes highlight the ambience for dates and groups, though the space can be small or busy and the music sometimes loud enough to affect conversation. Some critiques touch on slower service during peak times and value concerns around food portions, but the overall experience remains positive. All in all Milky Way Cocktail Bar is regarded as a must visit for cocktail lovers, offering top tier drinks, a stylish playful setting, and a memorable night out.
I had an absolutely awful experience at Milky Way. I was there with my friend. I am visibly a person of color, & she is visibly white (blonde, blue eyes). When I went to the bathroom, no one covered my drink or paid any attention. But when my friend went to the bathroom, the server rushed to cover her water, put a napkin on top, & then took her drink to hide it in the fridge-making it seem like I would do something to her drink. It was a macro-aggressive & racist experience where I felt completely targeted. When I went to the bathroom again, no one cared about my drink, making it clear the only reason they protected hers was because of me. This was one of the worst racist experiences I've had in Canada, & I would never recommend this place to any person of color.

Milky Way is an absolute visual treat. Beyond the incredible atmosphere, the drinks are reasonably priced & the service is surprisingly quick given the vibe. I ordered the Pisco Sour & it was fantastic, highly recommended.
However, the real highlight is the food. The $5 pizzas after 11 PM make the trip completely worth it. Do yourself a favor & order the Calabrese Hot Honey Pizza; it won't disappoint. I'd argue it's one of the best pizzas in Montreal. This place is definitely a hidden gem!
I'd give 10 stars if I could- we went right at 5:30 & had no wait. Our server was attentive but not pushy, & gave us complimentary shots because the drink I ordered took a few extra minutes. The pizza is unreal, try it with their hot oil if you can!! Environment was comfortable & unique, I'd recommend visiting if you're ever in Montreal.
The atmosphere here is absolutely enchanting! I recently visited with a friend, & let me tell you, the cocktails are nothing short of exotic & unique. The vibes are incredibly high-energy, & I absolutely adore this place! My friend mentioned it's the perfect spot for someone as artsy as I am, & I couldn't agree more. The artistic flair is everywhere, making it a fantastic venue for a casual get-together with friends or even a special celebration. I can't recommend this place enough! The drinks are phenomenal, & the ambiance is simply stunning. You've got to experience it for yourself!

Very cool bar with nice decor & well made cocktails. There's also the advantage of getting pizzas as snacks while you drink! Would absolutely recommend if you're willing to wait
Le Milky Way est un très bon bar, super bien décoré avec une ambiance très jolie illumination. Les cocktails sont délicieux & généreux. Les pizzas sont très abordables & offrent un excellent rapport qualité-prix. Il n'y a pas de réservation, c'est premier arrivé, premier servi. Nous avons dû attendre 20 minutes avant d'être installées, & 30 minutes pour recevoir nos boissons & nos pizzas, mais les serveurs sont très gentils. Je recommande !
I went to this place yesterday evening. It was fun, with great music & beautiful ambiance. The place is decorated with good taste. Daniela offered us a fantastic service. The cocktails were deliciously served & nicely decorated. Daniela was awesome!!!
I recommend it!!!!!

We had a half day left to have fun in montreal & chose Milky Way, we are so glad we did. Daniella gave incredible service, the drinks were insanely good (she even created such good drinks when we wanted something off the menu that matched our preferences perfectly) & the food was to die for. We would absolutely go back & I will recommend this to anyone going to montreal. Love you Daniella
This was my second time coming to Montreal, but my first time going out for drinks with my friends. I had the pleasure of going to this lovely bar, the Milky Way cocktail bar, with my friends. Our server who happened to be the manager of this beautiful place, her name was Daniella & she was amazing. Our table had gotten pizza, & a few drinks each & thought the prices were fair for how pretty & delicious the food & drinks were. Daniella made custom drinks for my friends who didn't know what to order & made the experience awesome. Would definitely recommend coming here if you don't know where to go in Montreal.
I came here with some of my teammates we are from Winnipeg & Daniella made us feel completely welcomed & was the absolute best ever. #daniellaforpresident. She also displayed top notch service & leadership he best recommendations for cocktails. If you're touring to Montreal or even living there, I strongly recommend hitting this up!!!

Went for New Year's Eve cocktails & had a lovely time . The crowd was younger than us but their energy was contagious , fantastic energy & the drinks are to die for , highly recommended- gem of Montreal
had an amazing experience at the Milky Way, thanks to Marko's exceptional service! He was attentive, friendly, & went above & beyond to make our visit unforgettable. His professionalism & genuine care truly stood out, adding a personal touch to the already wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend visiting & hope to be served by Marko again!
Great experience!! We came to celebrate my friends birthday & because we were about 10 people we had to wait around 2 hours in the line. However, they made it up to us by serving us two rounds of shots & 10 cannolis for my friend's bd:):) definitely recommend this bar & give 10/10 to their customer service.
I recently visited, & it was a great time! The drinks were great, special mention to the Marcus Hibiscus. The staff deserves a special mention. Our waitress was very kind & professional. The bouncer with the big glasses was professional & friendly. He greeted my party with a smile & made the check in process smooth. The pizzas we ordered were from the Fugazzi Pizza next door. The pizzas were great. Overall, I we had a great time. Would highly recommend.
