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.
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.
Formidable. Mon speakeasy favoris à Montréal avec le 4ieme mur. Ici, pas de carte & les mixologue sont parmi les plus doués que je connaisse dans la ville. Endroit classe. Pas donné mais toujours une expérience gustative fabuleuse. Petit endroit, donc si vous voulez avoir une place sans faire la file, privilégiez le jeudi soir.
Excellent service, friendly, courteous & great ambiance. Music is not too loud, the place ranks ex aequo with any New York speakeasy. The Sazerac is mixed to perfection & the advice is professional. The place is in a league of its own!
Tucked away, as a speakeasy should be. Our experience had as wait for just a couple of minutes outside the suit store. Led through a short hallway to a great spot. The ambiance, music & team provided the perfect atmosphere. No cocktail menu, rather tell them what you like, love & dislike & they'll make a signature cocktail-just for you!
We loved everything about this experience!
While my husband & I were vacationing in Montreal, we were fortunate on two occasions to get into the 25 seat speakeasy The Cloakroom. We had read about this place before leaving the states. It sure didn't disappoint on both occasions.
There is no cocktail menu. They ask you about your preferences & create a masterpiece for you.
From our two experiences we can't say enough good things about the atmosphere, cocktails & the staff. Everyone is so friendly, especially if you sit at the bar.
Thank you Hugo, Jack, Maximilian & Vincent for two wonderful nights.

LOVED IT !
Perfect speakeasy vibe.
Love the no menu concept where you can just let yourself be guided by the very talented team.
The cocktails both n/a & spirited were sooo good !!!
The drinks were fantastic, the atmosphere certainly fit the vibe, & the speakeasy nature was certainly nailed.
However, the drinks were outrageously expensive. There's not a world in which these drinks are worth more than $30 each. Take that in for a second, $30 EACH. I'm sorry, but that's a straight up scam.
Atmosphere: 9/10
Tucked behind a tailor shop in Montreal's Golden Square Mile, this speakeasy delivers an upscale & intimate experience. The small mirrored room cleverly feels larger than it is, anchored by an impressive backbar & a mix of bar stools & rear tables. The suit tailor-speakeasy concept places this bar in the same league as Dandy Room (Beijing) & Taylor Adam (Singapore). The overall layout even evokes Opium BKK in Bangkok. Music sits at a perfect volume for conversation.
Drinks: 9/10
Recommendation: Bartender's Choice
There is no menu; cocktails are crafted based on guest preferences. The bartenders excel at translating flavor requests into perfectly balanced drinks. High-quality glassware & coasters are used, though presentations are minimalistic, often without garnish. A welcome drink is offered upon arrival.
Service: 9/10
Water is served on arrival, & the team is attentive & friendly. Coat service is provided. Prices are slightly above average for Montreal, but the personalized service justifies the cost.
Great speakeasy spot for a premium drink in Montreal. Unique cocktails catered to your individual taste. No drink menus. No food. Small, dark & lively. Sit at the bar to witness the expertise.
Drinks are among the best drinks I've ever had. Classical speakeasy in a great location. No drink menu they'll ask you questions to customize a drink for you.
Intimate, oak-paneled speakeasy vibe, located behind a men's clothing shop. Doorman & bartender were professional & friendly. No menus - you give your desired alcohol & flavor profile & they make you a unique drink. I stuck with mezcal, first a fruity & then a savory direction. Both delicious! Best for small groups & quieter convos - you wouldn't want to get rowdy or loud in here, it's too small : )
Cloakroom Bar remains a top-tier speakeasy in Montreal, offering an intimate & exclusive cocktail experience. The hidden entrance & tiny space add to its charm, making every visit feel special.
The cocktails are still expertly crafted, but the experience feels less personalized than before. Previously, bartenders engaged in a deep conversation to tailor your drink; now, they ask three quick questions & get to work. The quality is still there, but the magic of true customization feels a bit diminished.
Still worth a visit, but longtime fans might notice the difference.
Très beau speakeasy! Plus ou moins 25 places assises… le meilleur cocktail que j'ai bu de ma vie. Assurément j'y reviendrai. Prévoyez de l'attente! Service impeccable.
You arrive to this location & wait in line, there are only 25 seats, & it is first come first serve. You are seated facing the bar which alludes to a "show" but it is crampt & the server / bartender decide what to make for you. A tad expensive for what it is in comparison to other speakeasys.
