Is this place expensive? YES
Are the drinks amazing? YES
Are the bartenders wonderful & the best around? YES
Is it worth it? ABSOLUTELY YES!
Many people we ran into & spoke to in Montreal told us we HAD to go to the Cloakroom during our stay, & we are glad we listened! My husband & I each had two drinks that were all very different & all wonderful & memorable. Our bartender was very kind & listened to exactly what we wanted. He also gave us a rather long handwritten list of restarants we should try while in town after asking him for recommendations, which was great (we went to Monarch, which he recommended & it was superb!)The bill was steep (we did ask for some pricey choices of liquors), but we had a great time & left satisfied that we had managed to grab the last two bar seats in this tiny & very popular establishment. Check this place out when you are in Montreal!

Fantastic speakeasy vibes, recommended for ANYONE that is visiting Montréal & wants to dive into a coctail bar.

Open after 4, a very intimately small date night or evening with friends will be heavily complimented by the service & choose your own adventure style coctails.

No menu = bartenders that can absolutely nail what you are looking for with a couple of questions.

Top 50 for a reason!

We arrived tonight feeling a little overwhelmed with the noise & bustle of the F1 crowd. But this little local gem gave us the perfect environment to sip a delicious cocktail crafted by our bartender Marcelo. He was very knowledgeable, warm & engaging. He's a talented mixologist & really took the time to get to know what we enjoyed. He created cocktails that were well balanced & absolutely delicious. A perfect accompaniment to an evening shared by two girlfriends craving a much needed spot to relax, converse & hide away from all the commotion & noise. Thank you so much Marcelo, Cloakroom is very fortunate to have you on their team. Marcelo made our night 🥂

The Cloakroom Bar is genuinely one of the best cocktail experiences I've ever had - & the accolades back it up. Ranked #2 bar in Canada & #31 in North America, this intimate 25-seat gem in Montreal's Golden Square Mile is the real deal.

What makes it truly special is the no-menu approach. You tell the bartender what you're in the mood for - a spirit, a flavour profile, a vibe - & they craft something extraordinary just for you. The collection of rare vintage spirits, including some truly remarkable aged amari & bourbons sourced from European cellars, is unlike anything you'll find elsewhere in the city.

The atmosphere is warm, intimate, & quietly sophisticated - the kind of place where time slows down & every sip feels considered. Beverage director Andrew Whibley & the team are passionate, knowledgeable, & genuinely love what they do.

If you care about cocktails at all, this is a non-negotiable stop in Montreal. One of a kind.

Speakeasy vraiment sympa. La salle n'est pas très grande mais on était bien installé. Pas de carte, vous dites ce que vous aimez & le bartender improvise un cocktail. J'en ai pris un sans alcool, & il était excellent également.
