Wait times can be long on busy evenings, and the small layout means seating is limited, which some find worth it for the unique experience while others feel the price and crowding dampen the value. Several accounts highlight standout bartenders and memorable turns of phrase during the drink making, contributing to a sense of ritual and discovery rather than a standard order. A few reviews mention occasional missteps or a sense of being rushed, but the majority treat Cloakroom Bar as one of the top cocktail destinations in town, offering an exceptional, customizable experience that invites repeat visits.View restaurant profile
