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.

It's small & simple place. Classy no frills. The mixology is on point! The staff is amazing.

Little bar with no menu. Bartenders are knowledgeable of drinks & can put a nice spin on your cocktails! We visited out of town; highly recommend going right after it opens & before dinner hour as they do get busy & only accommodate 25 people.

The drinks were fantastic, & the ambiance was amazing. The man who greeted us was professional & very welcoming. However, our experience was tainted by our waiter. She was quite rude & seemed completely disinterested, even though it was only 10 PM. There was no smile, no greeting, & she was cold & unengaged when taking our order. Unfortunately, this made for an overall disappointing experience throughout the night.

My favourite bar in the city. Bit of a wait so come early. No menus. Just great service & great vibes. Very intimate setting. Drinks are well crafted with heavy pours.

Amazing drinks, great service & such a cool concept for the space & no menu. It's a small place so if you don't want to wait try going a bit before they open.

They make custom drink(s) based on a few questions they ask about your tastes. For me, they were spot on. The atmosphere is very chill & while it is small it doesn't feel that way. Definitely coming again!

Our first experience with this place was amazing, but has been overshadowed by our second. Bad one: The person at the door was the most wild customer service experience I've ever had. That's fine if you have a "no more than 6" policy, but no one in our group was rude to him & he was awful & aggressive right away. That's fine if you turn us away, it happens, but at least treat us with some decency. We brought a large group, hoping to split off in small groups in any way they would allow. No issue if we needed to sit completely apart, if some had to wait in the lobby because the space is so small. We were even making jokes that we would go in 3/3/2 & pretend we didn't know each other. We also came right when they opened to make sure we didn't bother them at rush hour. Ultimately, he just wanted us to leave & would not communicate with us about alternatives. 4 of us ended up leaving, & the 4 newbies went inside. They said it was fine, but they were upset as to how the rest of us were treated & it clouded their experience as well. Also, there was plenty of room for us the entire time they were there apparently. Policy is policy, but at least treat people better when you have to use it. That conversation could have gone 100 different ways that would have resulted in us wanting to come back another time. Good one, 5 stars: For small groups, it really is a lot of fun. Our first bartender was amazing & we loved all the questions he asked us to get us the perfect cocktails. He really made us want to come back again, obviously. 10/10 I would recommend just answering the questions as they ask them, rather than bring up your favorite cocktail & try to get a spin on it. The creations my friends had were delicious & nothing I would have thought of before. Really a one of a kind experience for us!

Delicious cocktails, well balanced & lot of flavors. Not boozy. Love there is no menu & you said what you want, size, main alcohol, floral, etc. Love to go to this place !

$23 for a drink that was based on Bombay Sapphire. No. I was expecting something a bit more sophisticated given your reviews.
