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.
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.
Such a unique experience! Expect to wait, however it's definitely worth it. As a group of 5, we got our own private room, which was a great bonus. The drinks are delicious & tailored to your tastes.

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!
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.
Sam was the absolute best host. From the second I walked in, he helped with everything. Witty & charming, intelligent, charismatic & looks after every guest with attentive perception. The rest of the team were equally as friendly & warm. The drinks were incredible; they make them unique to your tastes. The ambience, music & atmosphere is divine. I would return every time I am in Montreal. What a spectacular establishment.

Les drinks & le service étaient tout simplement parfaits! Je recommande sans retenue. Le bar est très petit, donc arrivez tôt pour pouvoir profiter de cette ambiance unique!
It's a fantastic bar with a unique no menu setup. They ask you questions & make a custom cocktail for you. I go about every other week & I've been inviting people to share this place with!
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.

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 : )
Very unique experience. They don't have a drink menu. They create cocktails. Prices are according to expectation at a place like this. $40 for two cocktails. Strong & tasty drinks. Friendly staff. Super friendly host who went out of his way to be of service to us. Thank you.
A very unique experience. Worth the wait. Once you trust the process & experience of simply stating what you like, instead of the traditional ordering of a cocktail... It did not disappoint in the least.

best bar experience hands down. concept of no menu & making drinks accordingly to your taste preferences & mood is nothing but amazing. bartenders are very friendly & will guide you through the whole experience. each drink was unique & decently priced.
This place does not serve food but if it did, I'm sure it would get 5 stars. Cloakroom Bar is unique. You sort of feel exclusive being in as there are limited seats. My friend & I went around town looking for a cool bar & were happy we ended up here. The ambiance was warm & a delight. It was tricky to find the entrance which played on the mystery. Drinks, top notch. Will surely be back.
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!
