Le Mal Necessaire is a beloved tiki bar hidden below street level in Montreal’s Chinatown, marked only by a glowing green pineapple sign. Down the stairs, its tropical basement serves creative, carefully made tiki cocktails, several presented in hollowed-out pineapples, to a lively crowd. Fun, atmospheric and a little theatrical, it has become one of the city’s most talked-about bars and a favourite spot for a memorable night out among Montreal’s thriving cocktail scene.
