Reviews
Milky Way Bar is always a good time. The food is good and the cocktails are amazing. I will say that, while I still like their pizza, the sauce is a tad bit too acidic. The cocktails, however, are where this place shows its chops. The "Crème de la crème" (Disaronno Velvet, Malibu, peach, litchi, lime) and "Lulo mirage" (Cachaça, Planteray Original dark rum, lulo, passion fruit, lime, condensed milk, egg white, Angostura bitters) in particular are 2 of the best cocktails I've ever tasted in my life. Those alone are worth coming here. Just as amazing as the drinks was the host/waiter, Edgar. He's super cool AND the one who put me on to the Lulo mirage drink so I'll forever be grateful for that. Not only that but, upon hearing about my love for acidic cocktails, he brought me a citrus based shot after I was done eating. Edgar is the GOAT. Milky Way Bar is dope. I really enjoy going there. The whole staff is very engaging to talk to (including the lovely woman who almost hit me with the door as I walked up the stairs! 😅😅).
Super cool ambiance with an artistic menu, great cocktails, and excellent service. The pizza is from Fugazi next door, and I really enjoyed the Notorious Pig. I also tried Ortho and Monkey on a Break—both were well made, but I personally preferred Ortho. We were celebrating my friend’s birthday, and I ordered the tiramisu as well—it was perfectly balanced, tasty, and not too sweet at all!
Love the vibe here, amazing friendly service, wish I came at night to experience the lights though. They served one of the best cocktails I had on my trip in Montreal is this Bon Pour Le Moral. I hope to come back here one day to have it again.
Such a cool, innovative bar! Milky Way Cocktail Bar can be hard to find, but once you open the door and see the illuminated staircase, you’re instantly transported into a different dimension. The atmosphere here is vibrant with a live DJ and striking lighting. The menu is quite extensive with fun, inventive choices. We all enjoyed our drinks, and you can even snack on pizza for only $5! Milky Way is a great place to come with friends to enjoy fun drinks in a cool setting!
What a lovely ambiance provided to you at Milky Way, from the comfortable booth-like seating, to the friendly and professional service, you’re assured to enjoy your night here. The drink list is ample and the menu has a cool vibe to it, plenty to choose from and great help from the servers there. Bonus points for the late night pizza deal, nice thin crust pizza to end the night was a great addition. The spicy margarita was delicious and my friends loved their cocktails as well. Music is nice and not too loud.
