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.
Excellent service de Mika. Portier accueillant. Le Drink délicieux. Cependant la musique était un peu trop forte pour discuter sans hausser le ton vers 20h.
Best speakeasy we've ever been to in all of Canada. Matthew was very attentive & helpful in picking the best cocktails for us. They also have great mocktails. The food was also really good - we were not expecting to be able to have a full meal. We can't wait to come back again.
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!
By far my favourite cocktail 🍹bar since my first visit. Creative fun delicious & intoxicating.
Somehow it always comes up on top, the crowd it attracts is definitely a factor too. I've always had a good time here & left happy thanks to the welcoming staff.

Je n'ai pas aimé mon expérience du tout. Je vais expliquer & vous jugerez par vous-même pour la suite. Nous étions un groupe de 6 personnes qui sommes arrivés demandant si il y avait de la place assise pour boire un verre. Nous étions 4 filles & 2 garçons. Le bouncer nous regarde & demande si nous voulons boire/manger ou les 2, nous confirmons que nous voulons seulement boire. Il nous dit qu'il n'y a pas de place disponible & dit aussi qu'il n'y a pas assez de place dans le lobby pour 6 personnes donc demande à deux d'entre nous d'attendre dehors en dessus des réchauds. Les 2 garçons ont attendu dehors. 3 groupes de 2 personnes sont passés devant nous & on pu tous s'asseoir pour boire un verre... Nous étions choqués de voir ça... Le bouncer revient nous voir & nous demande pourquoi les 2 personnes avec qui on est venus sont en bas.... Aucune cohérence & sans oublier qu'il était hyper passive agressive envers nous, mais il était super gentil avec les 6 autres personnes qu'il a placé. Lorsqu'il y a finalement eu de la'place' il a commencé à nous parler anglais comme si on ne comprenait pas & nous a placé debout devant tout le monde à une place où même le menu pourrait tomber tellement le comptoir était petit. (Nous n'étions pas debout au bar ou à une table). Nous sommes parti rapidement parce que la façon qu'on a été traité ne nous a pas plus.
The milky way cocktail bar was a must-visit stop on our trip! The bar was beautiful, & the staff were so nice. The drink menu was pretty good, creative, we all liked our drinks. The food was good, my friends ordered the risotto & I had cauliflower with cheese. the pizza was so good as well. my friends wanted to mention that the portion size was a bit small. overall great experience
Overall the milky way cocktail bar is decent. I wasn't all that impressed with the drinks. I know it's typical to load up cocktails with ice. However, I felt giving me a drink filled to the brim with ice left no room for the actual drink itself. I found myself choosing a beer after a cocktail due to this.
Loved my experience at Milky Way. The cocktails were great & the server I had, Saskia, was exceptionally helpful & had a wonderful energy! I'll be back soon enough for another drink!

Endroit merveilleux pour déguster d'excellents cocktails entre amis. Mention spéciale à notre serveuse Saskia qui donne un service à la clientèle impeccable & rend notre soirée encore plus parfaite.
Unique place for drinks & dinner. Pasta was fantastic, & the drinks & service were fun. It wasn't too busy when we went earlier in the evening but looked like it was filling up as we left.
Gorgeous hidden spot with delicious cocktails! Worth the trip out of the downtown area, this spot is worth every bit of the five stars & is a must-visit in Montreal!
