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“

“This place is an absolute gem. Their vibe is on point from the staff to the decor, to the drinks. Details matter and they hit them all.

Amazing spot to people watch and have some absolutely amazing cocktails.

Marianne was a our main server and she hit the mark on attentiveness and support with the menu.

Will definitely have this on the rotation when in Montreal.“

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

“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!✨“

“Beautiful place in service“

“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.“

“Fortement recommandé ✨ la musique et l'ambiance sont au top 👌🏻 le Staff est cool, une perle sur St-Hubert. 🎧🦪😎“

“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 had such a good time here! The vibe was just right, lively but not too loud, and it felt like the kind of place you could hang out for hours. I ordered the steak and frites, and honestly, it hit the spot. The meat was perfectly grilled, and packed with flavor. And the margaritas, super good. Totally recommended to come back!“

“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)“

“Belle place possibilité de jouer aux échecs.“

“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.“

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

“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 !“

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

“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 !!! ;)“

“Cool spot! It is HOT in there. If you are someone that overheats easily, best to avoid. The drinks are good with a balanced flavour and feel. The decor is interesting and subtle. The napkins don’t seem to match the register of the rest of the space.“

“bon service bonne ambiance“

“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,“

“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.“

“Bar- grande sélection-bonne ambiance musicale“

“Christmas magic and so much fun!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 🥰🥰🥰“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We booked this space for a corporate event, and it could not have been more perfect! From the smooth setup, the attentive staff, and the gorgeous space to the incredible food, the thoughtfully curated drinks, and the talented live performances, we were impressed from start to finish.

Karina, their event manager, and another gentleman (Matt? I cannot remember his name, but he was the banquet captain) were there with us pretty much the whole night, which was so helpful when little questions came up.

This was our final event of the season, at what a great way to wrap up the year. I would recommend Bord'Elle to anyone in the Montreal area looking for a unique and unforgettable event small or large!“

“Great experience, nice live music“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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