Bar Le Mal Nécessaire

"*Le Mal Nécessaire* translates into “the necessary evil”. This unique tiki-chic bar has a secret, uber-cool vibe. Although it’s tucked away in a Chinatown basement, you can spot the bright, neon-green pineapple logo at the top of the staircase as you walk down the street. Lose yourself in sweet tiki drinks with fresh fruit or classical cocktails while soaking in cool beats." - Havas Montréal

"The decor in Chinatown tiki-bar Le Mal Nécessaire screams sticky summer night, but step into the dark basement bar (located beneath a Chinese restaurant) and you’ll find yourself enjoying a nice reprieve from the heat outside—ideally with a nice cold cocktail in hand (either served in typically tiki style from a pineapple, or one of the bar’s less ostentatious but equally tasty options)." - Holly Tousignant

"Look for the neon pineapple and you’ll know you’ve found the place. Le Mal Nécessaire’s tiki-inspired cocktails are a fun novelty to enjoy with friends — and the happy hour specials are unbeatable for the quality and innovation of their drinks." - Kaitlyn McInnis

"Let the neon green pineapple be your guide down the steps into this tucked-away Chinatown gem from Dave Schmidt. A modern take on Tiki awaits, stocked with the requisite novelties, such as drinking a cocktail straight out of a fruit. For those more classically inclined, all of the usual cocktail suspects can be found here too." - Carla Bragagnolo
