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.
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
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.
We were excited to visit, we arrived at around 10:30 pm & waited in line for about 30-40 minutes. The line moves fairly fast. Once inside, they have a coat check & the space is intimate & seats about 30ish people. We found the bar seating to be more fun. We got 2 cocktails each & paid 118 Canadian dollars (tip included). If you're looking for a different bar experience & don't mind shelling out for a few crafted cocktails, then I highly recommend this spot!
Amazing! No menu, the drinks are made to your preference. Cloakroom is a small but cozy spot that will fill up quickly later at night. The batenders will you an unforgetable drink based on how you feel like drinking. This is a must visit!

Formidable. Mon speakeasy favoris à Montréal avec le 4ieme mur. Ici, pas de carte & les mixologue sont parmi les plus doués que je connaisse dans la ville. Endroit classe. Pas donné mais toujours une expérience gustative fabuleuse. Petit endroit, donc si vous voulez avoir une place sans faire la file, privilégiez le jeudi soir.
Les drinks & le service étaient tout simplement parfaits! Je recommande sans retenue. Le bar est très petit, donc arrivez tôt pour pouvoir profiter de cette ambiance unique!

Nous étions un groupe de 5 & avons dû attendre avant d'entrer car le bar est assez intime & ne peut pas accueillir trop de monde à la fois. Mais l'attente a été loin d'être désagréable : le responsable à l'entrée a été incroyablement sympathique, il revenait régulièrement nous voir pour s'excuser & nous rassurer, ce qui a rendu le moment vraiment agréable.
Une fois à l'intérieur, tout était parfait. La barmaid nous a demandé nos préférences pour créer des cocktails sur mesure, & chacun d'eux était un vrai délice. Le service était attentionné & souriant, on sent qu'ils prennent vraiment soin de leurs clients. Nous avons commencé assis au bar, puis, on nous a offert une petite salle plus intime, réservée d'habitude aux groupes, ce qui a rendu notre soirée encore plus spéciale.
Un endroit raffiné, chaleureux & avec un service irréprochable. Sans hésitation l'une des meilleures expériences que j'ai eues à Montréal. Je recommande vivement & j'y retournerai dès que possible !
Excellent service, friendly, courteous & great ambiance. Music is not too loud, the place ranks ex aequo with any New York speakeasy. The Sazerac is mixed to perfection & the advice is professional. The place is in a league of its own!
We slid in at the perfect time, around 6:00. After that it filled up quickly! We both had delicious, nameless cocktails that we got to really communicate a few things we enjoyed & make our order into a bit more of a conversation than a bark. We had a delicious little welcome palette cleanser drink that was grapefruit & beautiful. I love this place so much & would absolutely recommend!!
