About

Cloakroom Bar operates as an intimate speakeasy concept emphasizing a bespoke approach to mixology. Expert bartenders utilize a vast inventory of premium spirits and house-made syrups to craft individualized cocktails tailored to specific guest preferences. The interior features a refined, low-lit atmosphere characterized by plush seating and an understated aesthetic that prioritizes acoustic comfort. Guests engage directly with the staff to navigate a personalized menu devoid of traditional printed lists. This venue functions primarily as a sophisticated destination for those seeking technical precision in drink preparation within a secluded environment. Every beverage serves as a unique composition rather than a standard rotation of popular classics. The overall focus remains strictly on the craft of the cocktail and the maintenance of a quiet, focused social space for enthusiasts of artisanal beverage culture.

Review Summary

Cloakroom Bar is widely celebrated as a premier speakeasy in Montreal, known for its intimate atmosphere and unique, menu-less concept where talented bartenders craft bespoke cocktails based on individual flavor preferences. While most visitors praise the personalized service, high-quality ingredients, and sophisticated, cozy vibe that makes it an excellent choice for dates or small groups, others note that the venue is quite small, often resulting in wait times and a crowded environment. Perspectives on value vary, as some patrons find the high prices justified by the premium experience and exclusivity, while others feel the cost does not always align with the simplicity of the presentation or the occasional inconsistency in service. Overall, it remains a highly recommended destination for those seeking an immersive and creative cocktail experience.

Cute little speakeasy - we went right when it opened & it had already filled up quite a bit.

Love the concept. The bartenders were genuinely some of the best people we met on our trip to Montreal.

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.

Service was amazing, Vincent one star, Damian (& I am not sure that is his real name, it might be Jay or Sam?) said to write this…

Ulysse was a great server, always bring him a story to describe your drink. He distills it into something magical. Also make sure you bring a movie poster representing your feelings & soul to help with the drink making process. Ulysse really really appreciates all the extra effort. What a legend.

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.
