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.
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.
One of a kind. Truly. A unique setting, no menus & great vibe in the room. Come in, let the bartenders take care of you & sit back & enjoy.
Great for pre or post dinner drinks.
Pretty cool place to find & try! Very cozy atmosphere with a touch of intrigue.
Location only accommodates 22 people…squeezed in 🪗
Expected better drinks 🥤 as it was very simplistic in presentation.
An excellent place for a customized cocktail. I loved the intimate atmosphere.
However, it's definitely on the pricier side considering the low amount of alcohol.
For reference, I've waited 40 minutes to get inside at around 7 PM on a Saturday.
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.
The Cloakroom Bar is a delightful speak-easy within walking distance to Downtown Montreal hotels.
As we walked in the old brownstone entrance, we found ourselves staring at a closed suit shop. Magically, a tall black-clad man appeared from nowhere & ushered us into a dimly lit cozy room teeming with mixologists shaking up delicious concoctions determined by your favorite liquor & flavor profiles, & the bartenders' imagination.🍸 Excellent service & cocktails!
We came by at around 10pm & didn't have to wait that long…honestly, the complimentary drink that they give you lives rent free in my head! It was soooo good that I had to actually order it. What a great experience as well not having a menu & collaborating with the customer on their drink. You feel like you're really part of the experience. We loved it so much we came back twice during our 4 day girls trip lol
This place was different but very cool to see & try. You tell them what you like to drink & they make something for you.
Absolutely a 10/10 experience. Try to get a seat at the bar to see the action. The servers are lovely, but the bartenders know exactly what they're doing & ordering from them directly will only enhance your experience.
