After 10 years in a basement on Boulevard Saint-Laurent, Le Mal Necessaire moved to a spectacular location on the small rue Saint-Alexandre, near the Palais des congrès, the Humaniti complex and directly under the Google offices.
It’s quite a step up for the small Tiki bar in front of which dozens of people lined up on weekend evenings.
The new space will be able to accommodate many more customers, at the foot of its large illuminated columns. In a few weeks, there will even be a small, more private room at the back which will reproduce the old “Mal” with its original furniture.
