50 Best Cocktail Bars in Montreal

“Was my first visit to their new space (they just reopened and expanded) and I was blown away. Beautiful, sophisticated design, but still feels intimate and low key. Staff were fun and friendly; drinks were fresh, interesting/unique and stiff. Loved the vibe overall and definitely worth making a detour for - it's a great spot for a date, to hang with friends, or to entertain business colleagues/clients. They've completely upped their game even further and cemented its status as one of the best cocktail bars in the city.“

“Fun atmosphere, good drinks, delicious brownies and kind staff. Plus the original way to get in the building through a hidden door and doorbell was a nice touch adding to the overall experience.“

“Best bar of all time! 10/10“

“Great find for us, directly opposite our hotel. The staff were magnificently friendly and engaging. My wife and I were visiting Montreal from Scotland and were made to feel like regulars. If and when we venture transatlantic again to this wonderful city, we will certainly be seeking out Bisou Bisou.“

“nous avons passé une formidable soirée au Mezcaleros de Repentigny! Tapas mexicains sur la coche, coktails originaux et savoureux, ambiance décontractée! un must dans Lanaudière! Merci!“

“Really one of the best cocktails in Montreal. Felix has all the good vibes you could ask for a server. Always attentive and very joyful. Definitely will coming back. Btw, he uses some pretty cool sunglasses 😎“

“We went on a Sunday, it was busy for a Sunday night but the waitress did an amazing job handling everyone we never had to try hard to get her attention. There was a burlesque show that was fun to watch. The murder mystery game was a good surprise. Great for groups we had good laughs and really enjoyed our time. The drinks were so tasty and the Brie was amazing as well!
100% would recommend“

“The vibes in this bar are perfect. The rotating cocktail menu is carefully curated, and we always discover a new favourite each time we visit Montreal. Creatively infused and various fat-washed liquors provide depth and layers to the flavour profiles of their cocktails, and garnishes are innovative and unique. The space, in a historic building with original stone walls, has a light, airy section for group hangs and darker corners for intimate conversations. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the music is always perfect for the vibe, and the anonymous secret jar is a fun marketing and engagement tool.“

“best cocktails in little italy! you should try it! aperitivi is a must and perfect for a night out, feels like italy👌“

“Beautiful place in service“

“I loved it, we came to visit Montreal to spend the birthday of one of my friends, and they recommended this place to us, and we really loved it, the atmosphere, the music, the food and above all the attention of the waiter Camilo, if you come you will I recommend!✨“

“Wiw. Lynn is def on my top 5 mixologists in the world. I’m not kidding. Test him. Vieux Carré, boulevardier, old fashion… you name it. Very honest if he can’t make it, he’ll tell you. And will come with options… very amazing. Just go. Ask for Lynn.“

“Accueil extrêmement chaleureux. Belle sélection de bières en fût. La carte de cocktails est vraiment chouette. La musique est excellente. Les prix sont suuuper raisonnables. Une merveilleuse découverte. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Belle place possibilité de jouer aux échecs.“

“Been there twice now. I like the cocktails so far (tried three). The music is good, the barmen seem to know their trade.
The prices for the signature cocktails would make sense if we were in New York.
There are candles in the bathroom but they're more aesthetic than functional - it still smells a little bit.“

“I went to Mollie on three separate occasions to have their brunches. The food was delicious, fresh, and the portions were very generous compared to other restaurants I have eaten at. They also serve alot of fruits on your plate. The desserts prepared by Ally are to die for. The service is great and the employees are very attentive. The bathrooms are very clean, which is very important to me. I live on the south shore and travel to Montreal just to have my breakfast at Mollie.“

“Me encanto la comida, el maracuyá sour me hizo regresar a Perú. El ambiente y el personal súper agradable. Definitivamente, regreso y recomiendo. ☺️“

“Excellent find! It was our first time trying indo-chinese fusion cuisine and let me tell you, it’s excellent. The quality of food is substantially higher than the price you will pay ! Must try - and their mocktails are divine (and we are picky)“

“J’ai adoré les huîtres et le meilleur tartare de saumon que j’ai mangé depuis longtemps.. bravo :)“

“Les cocktails sont excellents !!! Faites-vous plaisir et essayez les tous ;)“

“My wife and I had a fantastic evening here on Friday. It has a warm atmosphere that made us want to stay much longer than we would have normally. The food was exquisite, and a good value for the quality provided. The wine list was extensive, featuring wines from several French regions, as well as some from Italy, Spain, US, and Canada. The servers were attentive, speaking French and English, and there was a sommelier on staff to help with the wine. The plates weren’t overly large, but we were quite filled after three courses, wine, and an aperitif. We are definitely coming back the next time we’re in town.“

“The Lomo Saltado dish was great, hits the taste buds really well. The El Cacao desert is the cherry on top after a Lomo Saltado. The yuca fries on the other hand are a 5/10 as i prefer the texture and flavour of a fresh cut yuca fry instead of this iteration of a yuca fry. But others may enjoy this type of yuca fry, the sauces with this are great too.

Great restaurant. I recommend !“

“Super ambiance très bons cocktails j’aimerais seulement qu’il y ait un peu plus de choix de plats mais ceux choisis étaient délicieux!“

“Excellents plats, service et conseils. On y retourne assurément, c'était délicieux. Il faut vraiment essayer la cuisine fusion Japon Pérou!“

“Really cool spot, easy to miss the main door if you’re not paying attention. The ambiance was great, the bar setup and aesthetic was super cool, I’ve never seen table seating like this it was very unique. Great service and awesome selection of cocktails.“

“bon service bonne ambiance“

“Got served by Lea!! She is the absolute best. Made my entire experience likeable. Amazing drinks and ambiance. I will definitely be back and will suggest this to all my friends for a night out. & will definitely be back to see lea !!! ;)“

“First class restaurant that does not disappoint in ANY way !“

“Le milky way est un magnifique endroit avec une bonne ambiance pour terminer une soirée entre amis. J’ai commander le drink Preach’s peach pour sa composition et le magnifique verre annoncé sur le menu (flamingo). Malheureusement, le drink n’a pas été servi dans le verre tant attendu. Dans ce genre d’endroit, la présentation fait toute la différence pour justifier un cocktail à 25$. J’aurais apprécier qu’on me renseigne que le verre n’était pas disponible ce soir-là. J’aurais probablement opter vers un autre cocktail à un prix plus modeste. Ceci dit, le goût était bon. Nous ne recommandons pas les spritz sans alcool qui sont à notre goût fade et simplement amer. Un ajout de sirop simple pourrait probablement balancer l’amerture de ce drink qui est normalement délicieux avec du mousseux, bien entendu. Pour terminer, le cocktail bleu dont je ne me souvient plus le nom était le highlight de la soirée. Je retournerais au MilkyWay pour retenter l’expérience :) Au plaisir,“

“I really did like the whole package. But especially the food was surprisingly creative and goog. My favorite this evening (from the frequently changing menue): A whole grilled apple, stuffed with sausage meat and flavored with rosemary. And a gin cocktail served in a jug.“

“Repas extraordinaire et service hors pair. Je recommande ce resto à tous. Vraiment très très bon. Merci!“

“Fantastic food, excellent wine list and drink options, great vibe and phenomenal decor, bilingual super-friendly staff, killer playlist and a super chill rooftop terrace. I ask you: what's not to love??? We'll be back.“

“⭐ Miracle Montréal. The Sweetest, Most Festive Pop-Up Bar of the Season (Nov 27 to Dec 27) If you want to feel like you just walked into a Christmas movie, Miracle Montréal is the place to be. It runs from November 27 to December 27. This is not where you go for complex or refined mixology. This is where you go for fun. Pure, sugary, sparkly, over-the-top holiday fun. The cocktails are sweet, playful, colourful and filled with Christmas flavours. Think candy canes, spices, whipped cream, cookies and childhood nostalgia mixed with a kick. The décor is completely wild. Lights everywhere. Tinsel everywhere. Ornaments everywhere. Every inch of the place feels like Christmas exploded in the most joyful way possible. You cannot take a bad photo here. The staff adds to the vibe with warm smiles, contagious energy and a genuine love for making people feel good during the holidays. Miracle Montréal is all about escaping real life for a night, enjoying sweet festive drinks and soaking in the magic of the season. Go once and you will want to return before December 27 arrives. 🎄 A must for holiday lovers. 🎁 A sugar rush of happiness. ✨ Guaranteed Christmas joy.“

“This is one of my favourite places to go when I want to wind down from my work and also see a comedy show! It's really close, near the Guy-Concordia station in a cozy spot on Rue Mackay. All of the bartenders are great and they all know you by name, which makes it really personal They also have a really great comedy night on Tuesdays that features a variety of local Montreal comedians and occasional famous person.

What I love is that they take risks with experimenting with different types of cocktails each week, often offering them as specials. They have this new cocktail called 'noire et epice' which is a type of pumpkin spice espresso martini that I HIGHLY recommend.“

“Hier soir… première expérience chez vous! J’arrive dans une ruelle, on a presque manqué la place. Mais c’était tout simplement magique! Une expérience unique et remarquable… Une superbe place à découvrir 🥰🥰🥰“

“We had a reservation for 12 and we were all extremely impressed with our dining experience. The foods and drinks were exceptional and our server, Emma, was fabulous. I was impressed her knowledge of the menu and her recommendations were spot on!“

“Experience super Acceuil ,personnel ,cuisine Tout a ete parfait“

“Bar- grande sélection-bonne ambiance musicale“

“The Club was bright , colorful , and vibrant. Rachel was our server at the bar and made tasty cocktails. The smokey margarita was especially good. The dancer performed a wonderful routine both times with a nice choreography . The food was surprisingly all very good. I wasn't expecting that. The only part that was disappointing was the very grumpy and rude coatcheck attendant. She seemed upset at us when we arrived and I assumed it was because we didn't speak French. Therefore, I tipped her $20 early on to win her over but that didn't work as we were leaving in good spirits and she once again seemed incredibly rude. Overall, it was an amazing experience and we recommend it highly.“

“Charmante place, on a beaucoup apprecie notre passage et tres belle ambiance“

“Vraiment tout est délicieux!!! Excellents plats et cocktails!!!“

“Tasty food, friendly service, quaint atmosphere.“

“Date night with wife. Walked in around midnight on a Friday and was seated right away at the bar. Bartender was super friendly. Made me a few cocktails that were off menu. We ordered the popcorn (crazy good) and the beef tartar (also very good). We had such a good time that we went back the next night and had the popcorn again and tried the kale caesar which was also outstanding. All of the cocktails were excellent on the menu as well. Great spot!!“

“Amazing service and delicious food!

I had a great experience at Blossom. Sabrina took care of me and she was incredible from start to finish. She was attentive, warm, and professional. The service was smooth and the food was amazing, fresh, flavorful, and honestly one of the best meals I’ve had in a while.

I’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you, Sabrina, for the excellent service!“

“Coup de coeur pour le Capisco. Service chaleureux et rapide. Une dame très souriante et sympathique nous servait. Ils nous ont préparé un menu dégustation de leur choix. Nous avons adoré. Leur drink pisco sour est addictif!! Excellente adresse.“

“Great speakeasy bar. The music is good and not too loud. The servers were more than kind and the whole ambiance was just perfect. Definitely got a good here and would happily suggest it to everyone who are looking a good and unique speakeasy bar.“

“Mon amoureux et moi ont a adoré le sando aux concombres, le tamago sando au Kimchi, les patés vietnamien servi avec l'huile rouge, le cupcake ou muffin je me souviens plus du nom il était très bon et léger je l'ai partagé avec mon amoureux, je recommande SUPERNAT“

“Friendly service from our server. Nice decor, basic jazz background music

The Côte d'Azur, Sarah la Divine, and Phocéen very nice cocktails. I don't recommend the gin Stratton that I felt was unbalanced.

the men's washroom had two bottles of lotion but no soap for some reason, like there were clearly empty holders where the soap should be. Our server passed on the issue quickly once signaled but I've never seen something so obviously wrong at a high end hotel.“

“Excellent repas, service impeccable avec le sourire. Je recommande“
