Milky Way Cocktail Bar delivers an immersive speakeasy vibe with neon lighting, a vibrant atmosphere and a DJ that keeps the energy high, while the menu treats guests to creative, well balanced cocktails and even pizza options late at night. Reviewers praise the visuals, the unique drink concepts, and the thoughtful service that can be quick and friendly, though some experiences include delays, crowded spaces, and occasional missteps that affect seating or ordering. The overall impression is that Milky Way is a must visit in Montreal for cocktail lovers and those looking for a stylish night out, with praise for its mood, decor, and value, alongside notes that vegan options and consistent pacing could improve. While not flawless on every visit, the bar is repeatedly cited as a standout destination that justifies a line or a wait for the right experience.
Beautiful decor. Different feelings in the day & night. Similar if not exactly same food menu as Fugazzi, same corporate group owns both. Cocktail bar with an large liquor spread. You can find pretty much anything you want & the staff is very knowledgeable in making what you ask or teasing your palette with something new. Fun menu with cool presentations. Decent prices so it won't break the bank too much. Overall awesome place & everyone is so friendly from the moment you walk in
La pizza woww, le service extra wowww, on a eu des shotssss pour le retard & j'ai pas été chargé pour le calmar qui était moins bon, c'est vraiment une belle place,& les cocktails super bon,serveuse chaleureuse & Souriante j'adoreeeee.
Amazing decor, skylight, customer service (Eunice was top-notch!). Ordered pizza from Fugazzi & they were really good too, especially with their own original spicy oil. Music could've been better & they had only one cocktail on the fruitier side. But the vibe & service more than made up for it !
The wait to get in wasn't too long & the cocktails / drinks were very good. Prices are reasonable compared to similar places. We did find the music too loud for a lounge type of bar, often having to speak very loudly in order to have a conversation. Otherwise everything was great & we definitely recommend.

Exceptional Service by Angelos I had an amazing experience at Milky Way, largely thanks to Angelos, the bouncer. He is very well-spoken, polite, & provides outstanding customer service. Angelos made sure we got the best seating available at the time & offered assistance in either French or English, depending on our needs. What really stood out was how down-to-earth he is-his job doesn't go to his head, & he treats everyone with respect & professionalism. Milky Way is a great spot, especially with someone like Angelos at the door!
-Such a shame for a very nice place I used to love- We went on a Wednesday night with my bf & the barmaid & waiter were very nice BUT the manager/bouncer's attitude was unacceptable. Upon arrival he asked us in such a rude way to see our ID (we're 30), & proceeded to dig into my bag aggressively while giving us intimidating looks. Then he went back quietly to his seat, while continuing to give us condescending looks throughout the night. It was clear he was staring right at us: there were only about 10 people in the entire bar. As a woman, I felt unsafe & threatened by this unnatural attitude - especially from someone in the service industry. My advice: stay away!
My first visit a few years ago was fantastic, but my most recent visit, not so much. The food menu is very limited in terms of the variety of food available. Cocktails from the menu were pretty good, while a few standard cocktails made off-menu were a bit disappointing. Service was just okay.
I went to this cocktail bar on a Sunday night for a date, & it was absolutely perfect. The ambiance was incredible-low key & relaxed, exactly what we were looking for. The drinks were fantastic, & the prices were surprisingly affordable for such quality. Our waitress was super kind & attentive, making the experience even better. If you're looking for a chill spot with great drinks & excellent service, I highly recommend this place! Perfect for a casual night out or a special occasion.
Une carte diversifiée & originale Un belle ambiance & décoration Malgré la taille de l'endroit on s'entend parler & ça fait du bien Service un peu long
