Maison Cloakroom is forged on the belief that clothing is an extension and expression of self - that it speaks to our tastes, our values and our ideas. That it says everything without saying anything. That it allows us to define who we are. Blending classic and contemporary, with an emphasis on craftsmanship, The Cloakroom makes tailored and casual clothes that allow men to define who they are.
Cloakroom Bar is described as a tiny, intimate speakeasy with no menu where bartenders tailor each cocktail to taste and mood after a quick chat about preferences; this unique concept, along with skilled mixologists and a welcoming, classy vibe, makes it a standout spot for a date or a bar hop night. The experience can feel exclusive and premium, with a welcome drink and personalized creations that many praise as exceptional, sometimes even among the best in Montreal; wait times and limited seating are common due to the small space, and some note the price is high for the amount of alcohol, while others feel the value comes from customization, craftsmanship and ambiance. A few reports mention occasional service hiccups or lines at peak times, but most reviewers highlight attentive staff and the dramatic, intimate atmosphere that makes the visit worthwhile.
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.
I love this place. Shout out to Ulysse (spelling?) for the absolutely outstanding hospitality. He made me feel welcome & at home (when I was attending solo). & he made the best cocktails.
I highly recommend. Staff here is phenomenal. Just make sure you know what you like. Important as you need to tell the bartenders.
I used to come here when I was younger & was never that impressed, until now. I'm sober & was invited on a date so everything I ordered was mocktails. They really knew their stuff! The customization really impressed me & the bartenders were great. My date wasn't that great but still had a great night!

Stunning memorable drinks.
The welcome drink was refreshing.
Instead of their questions our table gave single words to the bartender. The bartender aced the challenge & made us a drink based on interpretative words.
A bar for bartenders... & amateur bartenders, & everyone else of course. The expertise here far exceeded expectations. No menu, everything improvised according to your taste & preferences. 25 seats only, no reservations, but the 30min wait was absolutely worth it.
I had a wonderful time here while on a solo trip. The Australian bartender was very friendly & welcoming & made me amazing drinks. Everything I had was delicious & unique. The Christmas themed drink I requested turned out phenomenal! The space was also very cute & cozy. I will absolutely be coming back next time I'm in town!

Cozy bar, great beats, knowledgeable bar staff... They is no menu so be prepared to be surprised by the creations that the bartenders create! Note that it's small so you may have to wait for a seat at the bar.
Amazing experience here, absolutely loved the bespoke cocktails. Given that I don't love anything too sweet, it's amazing to have a great bartender listen & prepare something amazing. Skill level here is on point. If you're a bourbon or Japanese whiskey fan, they also have a great lineup of spirits. I'd go back anyday! Small space though, I went at 4:30pm with no wait but there was a lineup at 6pm when I left so be prepared :)
I'm in Montreal for a quick visit. Cloakroom bar was my favorite stop of the day. Maximilian it is the best Bartender I have ever witnessed in my life. Very personable, & extremely talented when it comes to making drinks. Be sure to get a drink, made by him when you visit!

Wanted to check out a local spot for something different. Waited about 20 minutes to get a seat. Waiters/bartenders are professional & bilingual. The vibe is cool, tiny but the tables all face the bar so you're looking at everyone's backs.
Cocktails were fun, though together with tip (18%) it was $85 CAD for one drink each. Definitely not a place to spend the night drinking, but fun for one before heading somewhere else.
The Cloakroom Cocktail Bar offers a unique, personalized experience-there's no menu. Instead, the bartender chats with you about your tastes & mood, then crafts a custom cocktail just for you. An intimate, elegant spot that turns a drink into an experience.
The Cloakroom Bar is a delightful speak-easy within walking distance to Downtown Montreal hotels.
As we walked in the old brownstone entrance, we found ourselves staring at a closed suit shop. Magically, a tall black-clad man appeared from nowhere & ushered us into a dimly lit cozy room teeming with mixologists shaking up delicious concoctions determined by your favorite liquor & flavor profiles, & the bartenders' imagination.🍸 Excellent service & cocktails!
