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.

They did not warn us that water would be 10$, should've made it clear that it was an extra charge. so for 2 drinks & a glass of water each we ended up paying 60$. Doesn't make you want to go back as there is low transparency.

The bar is a speak easy located next to a men's clothing store. Very charming & intimate place. Their whole deal is craft cocktails & vintage spirits. I'll always remember this place since it was the first time I tried a glass of pappy. Otherwise, the other cocktails were fantastic & unique (they make the cocktail varriations to suit the customer, so your best bet is to tell them what you like & leave it up to them. Guaranteed theyll do a good job at matching tastes). The place was very small. We got there very early (we were the first customers in the place) & it was nice & quiet. But maybe half an hour later, the place was packed & loud (it was 1700 & there was a lady who very likely subscribes to the adage "its five o'clock somewhere"), making it a little uncomfortable & difficult to have an conversation. Certain things were a little pricey due to the whole vintage spirits angle, but if it wasnt for the pappy, probably wouldnt have been so bad. Overall fantastic experience. Would definitely come again.

Came here whilst on holiday & was blown away! They just ask you what you like & use your answers to make the most delicious drinks matched perfectly to your taste. Wish they would open one in London!

The cloakroom is one of our favorite spots we've been to for cocktails! We love the intimate, speakeasy vibe with quality drinks. There is not a menu here, you just describe things you like & they get creative in making the drink. This place was so good that we actually stopped by twice while we were in town! All of the staff was amazing, shout out to Jay for helping us both nights we were there & creating a great experience for us!

Great cocktails but we had a very dismissive, pretentious & rude server. Maybe he just had a bad day or it was near the end of his shift? The other staff were pretty friendly.
