Le Mal Nécessaire
Down a staircase off Saint-Laurent in Chinatown, this green-glowing tiki basement is where I take people who want a great drink and good records without a club's intensity. The cocktails are serious and the music leans soulful and deep. Look for the pineapple sign to find the stairs.
A green-lit Chinatown basement tiki bar — strong cocktails, a low-key soundsystem, and DJs who dig past the obvious.
