Review Summary

Overall, Cloakroom Bar is described as a tiny, intimate speakeasy where there is no menu and cocktails are crafted to each guest's taste. The concept of talking through preferences and moods with skilled bartenders leads to personalized creations that reviewers say can be both inventive and beautifully balanced, ranging from fruity and floral to smoky or bitter. The space is praised for atmosphere and service, with an emphasis on hospitality, attentive staff, and a welcome drink that sets the tone. 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.

Insane bar, drink custom, ambiance cozy dans un petit endroit. J'ai adoré la location du bar. Surement les meilleurs cocktails que j'ai bu de ma vie. À essayer en date, en petit groupe, c'est même pas si cher que ça pour des cocktails fait sur mesure.

I can see why this bar is ranked as one of the best in North America. From the semi-hidden door, to the little touches such as the playing cards used for coat check, it's a truly unique experience. The atmosphere is incredible & the staff are so attentive- & while the drinks are pricey, the customization & flavour makes them worth the price. We came a half hour after they opened & were seated immediately, but the small space was filled the entire time they were there, & the bartender told us how on busy nights there can be 30+ minute waits to get in. Highly recommend going early!

I liked the custom-cocktail concept & the location, but the waitress was disinterested bordering on rude. No check-in whether we liked the drinks & no smile or brief small talk. I have been to many cocktail bars all over the world & I found this one overrated. I still hope anyone going enjoys their time!

They make custom drink(s) based on a few questions they ask about your tastes. For me, they were spot on. The atmosphere is very chill & while it is small it doesn't feel that way. Definitely coming again!

Our first experience with this place was amazing, but has been overshadowed by our second. Bad one: The person at the door was the most wild customer service experience I've ever had. That's fine if you have a "no more than 6" policy, but no one in our group was rude to him & he was awful & aggressive right away. That's fine if you turn us away, it happens, but at least treat us with some decency. We brought a large group, hoping to split off in small groups in any way they would allow. No issue if we needed to sit completely apart, if some had to wait in the lobby because the space is so small. We were even making jokes that we would go in 3/3/2 & pretend we didn't know each other. We also came right when they opened to make sure we didn't bother them at rush hour. Ultimately, he just wanted us to leave & would not communicate with us about alternatives. 4 of us ended up leaving, & the 4 newbies went inside. They said it was fine, but they were upset as to how the rest of us were treated & it clouded their experience as well. Also, there was plenty of room for us the entire time they were there apparently. Policy is policy, but at least treat people better when you have to use it. That conversation could have gone 100 different ways that would have resulted in us wanting to come back another time. Good one, 5 stars: For small groups, it really is a lot of fun. Our first bartender was amazing & we loved all the questions he asked us to get us the perfect cocktails. He really made us want to come back again, obviously. 10/10 I would recommend just answering the questions as they ask them, rather than bring up your favorite cocktail & try to get a spin on it. The creations my friends had were delicious & nothing I would have thought of before. Really a one of a kind experience for us!

The bar is a speak easy located next to a men's clothing store. Very charming & intimate place. Their whole deal is craft cocktails & vintage spirits. I'll always remember this place since it was the first time I tried a glass of pappy. Otherwise, the other cocktails were fantastic & unique (they make the cocktail varriations to suit the customer, so your best bet is to tell them what you like & leave it up to them. Guaranteed theyll do a good job at matching tastes). The place was very small. We got there very early (we were the first customers in the place) & it was nice & quiet. But maybe half an hour later, the place was packed & loud (it was 1700 & there was a lady who very likely subscribes to the adage "its five o'clock somewhere"), making it a little uncomfortable & difficult to have an conversation. Certain things were a little pricey due to the whole vintage spirits angle, but if it wasnt for the pappy, probably wouldnt have been so bad. Overall fantastic experience. Would definitely come again.
