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.
An incredible experience, & I don't even drink alcohol!
Our server, Ashley, was extremely friendly & informative. They told us exactly what was in each cocktail/mocktail, & gave very insightful recommendations. I didn't like my first few sips, & they immediately swapped my mocktail out for something incredible.
I never normally get to have cool drinks, so this was a great time!

Good not great. The staff is super nice & the drinks are good but it's pricy & the concept (no menus, we customize a drink to your tastes) is gimmicky. They make their mixers in-house so there are very limited options on what types of cocktails they can make on any given evening. The ambiance is meh. Not really worth it in my opinion.
Very cool atmosphere & awesome service catering to your palette. We arrived at 1630pm & there was about 7 people waiting ahead of us. The bar opened at 1600 & we waited 30 min before getting in. The venue is not large & can only hold 25 people so that explains the wait. The mixologist started us off with a pleasant & flavorful fruit flavored eye shot. It was very tasty. Afterwards he asked each of us what kind of flavors we like & if we have any specific preferences to certain liquors. It is best to come in knowing exactly the type of flavor profile & type of spirits you enjoy do the mixologist can create a specific concoction that will suit your taste. I unfortunately am not a seasoned expert on liquors & flavors so I think it was my fault that my drink did not blow me away. I tasted my friend's cocktail & it was outstanding but she was very specific in what she liked. The drinks were beautifully presented & I would definitely return another time.
I had an unfortunate experience here. I specifically ordered a gin cocktail & was served a different liquor instead. When I pointed it out, the staff didn't acknowledge the mistake or say anything they just took the drink & replaced it in a very rude way.
In addition there was no thanks or acknowledgment when I tipped. Attention to detail & basic courtesy go a long way, & this experience lacked both.

Verre IKEA moche, sale (rouge à lèvre), aucune présentation. Pas de foamer, pas de décoration.
Je pensais qu'un bon cocktail englobait la saveur,l'équilibre,& la présentation.
Je ne recommande pas.
We were able to squeeze in on short notice for 2 & overall it was nice but nothing worth waiting super long for. We were sat in the tiny little side room with 1 other pair of people which feels naturally a little awkward given the already small main room but the well curated playlist helped settle the vibe. The whole no menu questionnaire style drink selection concept is cool & all the cocktails taste nice, but ultimately feels like tasting different flavored premade juices that takes some of the fun out of cocktail ordering.
Incredible experience for cocktails (there is no food). The huge line in the entrance was annoying but for a notorious place like this it makes sense & waiting over an hour was worth it! Price was good considering the whole experience in general. Will be coming back!
Très décu. Drink insipide. Mal présenté. Sans aucune décoration ou garniture.
Pas de carte de cocktail proposé.
Bref une expérience à oublier au plus vite.
Il y a une meilleure offre à Montréal

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 :)
Meh. We have been to many speakeasies, & unfortunately this one didn't live up to expectations for us. It is a cool location, we were initially seated in a small room just off the main room, it was nice. We had a good time, we had each two drinks each in pretty rapid succession. There was a party of three other people sat in the room with us, they had multiple drinks as well. We were all ordering & drinking in a very timely manner shall we say. For me the drinks were just average, the gambit here is that you tell them what elements you want (gin, whiskey, liquor forward, fruity, bubbles fruity, etc.) & they create a craft cocktail for you. Personally I didn't love either of my drinks, it kind of felt like some of my elements were lost, & it was not what I asked for, it seemed like they had their drinks & they were trying to put what you asked for within their recipes. But really this review would've been higher but for the fact that one of the employees came in & asked all five of us, two separate parties, if we could move to other tables in the main room to make room for a larger party. We had just begun talking to the other party & were enjoying ourselves when we were asked to move.
If you're going to ask people to move then offer a free drink on the house or something. We were taken into the next room & stuffed between two other parties, it really did not feel good to have to move midway through. We won't be back & cannot recommend this place.
I've been bopping around the Montreal cocktail scene for a few days now. It's not fully developed & has a way to go for sure. Cloakroom is the far & away champion. Great intimate feel. Smart engaging staff. Solid spirit selection. I could disappear in there happily on the regular.
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.
