I love this place so much I made a second trip within a couple of days. I'm a tiki enthusiast, so I will seek it out in any city, and Le Mal Necessaire did not disappoint. On our first visit, we went early, during happy hour time on a weeknight, so it was pretty much empty, allowing us to chat with the bartenders while getting loaded on delicious drinks. The second trip was later in the evening and it was definitely hopping.
Located in a basement in Chinatown, the basement space was cozy and fun. Let the oddly delightfuly neon green pineapple guide you downstairs to paradise.
