Bar Le Mal Nécessaire

Amazing selection of cocktails. There is literally something for everyone. The music and decor is fantastic. Highly recommend for a night out!

Large enough place with plenty of comfortable couches and live music spinning. The menu had great cocktail variety, and it’s designed like a zine with information about drinks and drink history in it. The atmosphere is on the darker side and it took a little time to get the drinks, but all the ones my table ordered were immaculate tasting.

Nice speak-easy with well balanced cocktails. Definitely recommend if you want to have a good cocktail within a nice atmosphere.

One of the best cocktail spots in town! The drinks are creative, balanced, and beautifully presented. The staff is thoughtful and kind, especially Eddy. Perfect vibe for a chill night out or a date. Highly recommend!

Great service, we had the best time with Eddy! The cocktail are amazing!

Amazing drinks and a fantastic atmosphere! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming.

We tried the champagne papi, miso juicy and the necessarie and they all tasted very good! They open early so try get there earlier to skip the line

This place is horrible. The service was nonexistent as my friends and I were ignored for over 30 minutes. My drink was also terrible, I ordered the pina colada and it tasted nothing like one. How do you mess that up? I was pushed twice to order another drink but I was so upset with the service I didn’t get another one. I totally would’ve gotten another drink if the server was more caring, or even attentive. He didn’t care about me or my table from the start at all. Too bad as this place is so pretty and has so much potential. The staff need to be retrained.

Honestly my worst service experience during my stay in Montreal. Came here on my last night of a girls trip to celebrate our night only to be ignored for over 10 mins while all the staff just stared at us instead of seating us. Came on a Sunday well before close and it was basically empty but they were fully staffed. When we were finally seated, we were ignored for another 10 mins until our server came over and asked us what we wanted and then proceeded to take another 15 for our drinks to come. Meanwhile the table next to us full of older men who got seated after us all managed to get multiple drink orders in and pay in leave by the time our drinks finally arrived. The pina colada tasted like straight coconuty chemicals and when we managed to finally wave our waiter over, he pushed to just order a new drink. Overall our server seemed super unenthusiastic to serve us and basically unwilling. Honestly reading all the other reviews, there seems to be a trend in this bars poor service and attitude when it comes to serving customers of asian heritage. Honestly a shame because the interior and vibe is very nice, too bad a cute front can’t make up for blatant racism.

The décor and ambiance are absolutely stunning. While I have no doubt the cocktails are exceptional, I found the mocktails a bit underwhelming—they tasted more like simple juices, likely due to the absence of a non-alcoholic base. That said, the overall experience was still thoroughly enjoyable.

Fantastic custom made drinks!

Fun vibe nice place good service

Great place and atmosphere. Amazing drinks and menu. Be prepared to wait in the waiting room if there’s a lot of people. It took about 45mins to get a table for a group of 4.

First time visiting this bar. Rico made us great drinks and gave us recommendations for other bars and restaurants to visit. He was super welcoming and provided great service. Thank you Rico!

They were nice and it’s a very nice place
