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.
What a place! We felt really welcomed a Mexican, he gave us really good recomendaciones about the drinks. 🍹 The concept of the bar is interesting… there is no menu, therefore you just say what you are in the mood of… it's fine cause they know the exact questions to make in order to give the best choice. Definitively a must on the bar hop night. My husband was really in the mood for a Negroni & even though it was a cocktail per se… they made him a version of a similar drink. He was really happy about the choice of the waiter.
Expérience gâchée par le service. La serveuse avec des lunettes (tatouage sur l'avant-bras) a été particulièrement désagréable. Dommage, car la personne à l'accueil (Vanessa) était très accueillante & solaire
There's a reason this is on every list of'coolest bars in Montreal'. It is VERY cool. It's definitively a'hidden gem'. You walk in the door up the outside stairs & it feels like you're in the wrong place. But then a door opens & the maitre d asks how many & brings you in (IF there's a spot. It's small, & exclusive, so you could be waiting in the doorway a bit...there's some room though). The way they make drinks is very cool, I won't tell you how as you should experience it yourself, but don't go in expecting to say'I'll have an old-fashioned'. It IS very pricey, but that's because of the exclusivity & skills you get in return...as well as the sprits...there's nothing SAQ shelf there really. VERY premium. Maximillion made us our drinks & he was awesome (I'll bring you our secret Mac n Cheese when we come back my friend!). If you're looking for a real'wow' kind of night, maybe with that date you really want to impress, or just to show your Mrs that you still have some spark, this is a GREAT option.
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.
Nice & cozy atmosphere. The mixologists know what they are doing. They will ask you a few questions & create a customized drink based on what you answer. Great place for a date. A bit pricey but worth it.
Clockroom Bar feels like a hidden gem, tucked beside a tailor shop. We were lucky to get in with no wait, but there was a line when we left.
The concept is great - no menu, just tell them your preferences & they create a custom cocktail. Mine was sweet & fruity, & I loved it. Service was smooth, & they even took our coats at the entrance.
The only downside is the space - it's very small & can feel cramped, with limited seating options (you sit side by side). Great experience overall, just not ideal if you want more comfort or privacy.
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!
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.
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.
