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.
Cloakroom Bar is described as a tiny, intimate speakeasy with no menu where bartenders tailor each cocktail to taste and mood after a quick chat about preferences; this unique concept, along with skilled mixologists and a welcoming, classy vibe, makes it a standout spot for a date or a bar hop night. The experience can feel exclusive and premium, with a welcome drink and personalized creations that many praise as exceptional, sometimes even among the best in Montreal; wait times and limited seating are common due to the small space, and some note the price is high for the amount of alcohol, while others feel the value comes from customization, craftsmanship and ambiance. A few reports mention occasional service hiccups or lines at peak times, but most reviewers highlight attentive staff and the dramatic, intimate atmosphere that makes the visit worthwhile.
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!!
Great atmosphere & neat space. You really have to know what you like or feel like - type of spirits, flavour profile, what alcohol you normally drink. It might be difficult for the staff to come up with something that match your mood if you don't drink much. There is a good selection of tinctures & alcohol. Friendly & knowledgeable staff.
Hands down best cocktail bar experience, & we've had quite a few! Very chill vibes with just the right level of musical ambience. Maximilian & Hugo were amazing at listening & delivering. I personally love ordering custom cocktails wherever I go. But Cloakroom went above & beyond anything I expected. We felt warmly welcomed since the minute we entered. Every single person in our party was blown away by every single drink we tasted. They were not only delicious but often elicited strong emotional reactions. We're out-of-towners seeking out North America's best bars, but if I lived in Montréal I honestly think I'd be a regular here! I hope the place never changes coz I'm definitely coming back in future. All the best wishes to the Cloakroom & its cocktail artists.
The cocktails here are objectively great & I understand exactly why this place made the'best bar' lists-the no menu shtick, clean minimalist vibe of the space & cocktails, & polished service lend themselves naturally to those kind of upper crust rankings. The bartenders who discuss your preferences in order to select cocktails are efficient, almost to a fault, to the point that I felt a little boxed in. I appreciate the difficulty of the no menu concept & that you have to distill folks' tastes down into convenient boxes, but'spirit forward gin' doesn't inherently mean Negroni or martini, so I was a little surprised by the rigidity of the drink planning conversation. I can't help but compare it to another small but well known'no menu' bar in town, where my drink-planning conversation was much more organic. Yes, that bartender talked about his own personal favorites & ingredients he was experimenting with & thus placed himself into the conversation more, but it felt much more intimate & personal that way & I've got to say that I preferred that experience to Cloakroom's more sanitized one. That being said, I did end up with 2 delicious drinks at Cloakroom (plus the welcome drink-a really nice touch), but there was nothing else particularly memorable about the experience. The drinks are so balanced (again, objectively great), but there's nothing to make you say'wow'-no surprising moment in the drink, no charming garnish, & those small moments are what make a drink truly memorable in my eyes, & that's missing here. Sometimes I think this is a fault of being a part of the elite list of'the best'-is some bit of character (maybe even some playfulness) lost?
Tucked away, as a speakeasy should be. Our experience had as wait for just a couple of minutes outside the suit store. Led through a short hallway to a great spot. The ambiance, music & team provided the perfect atmosphere. No cocktail menu, rather tell them what you like, love & dislike & they'll make a signature cocktail-just for you!
We loved everything about this experience!
Beautiful speak easy in Montreal. No menu but the bartenders can do vibes. I mean it. Go there, tell them what you're feeling like & you'll get it. Best cocktails I've had in Montreal
While my husband & I were vacationing in Montreal, we were fortunate on two occasions to get into the 25 seat speakeasy The Cloakroom. We had read about this place before leaving the states. It sure didn't disappoint on both occasions.
There is no cocktail menu. They ask you about your preferences & create a masterpiece for you.
From our two experiences we can't say enough good things about the atmosphere, cocktails & the staff. Everyone is so friendly, especially if you sit at the bar.
Thank you Hugo, Jack, Maximilian & Vincent for two wonderful nights.
Hit or miss. Had a few good drinks but nothing that blows you away. The presentation is minimal, mostly consisting of mumbled words in an already busy & loud space. For an establishment that first & foremost should cater to the customer's taste, I've felt rushed to come up with a drink profile, no guidance from the bartender either. When I threw a couple of ideas for a cocktail, the guy just called me out for not making sense. So if you know what you want, you'll probably have fun, but if you come in expecting a relaxed curated experience, this is not it.
Lieu tres original & tres beau. Serveurs au top. Il n'y a pas de menu donc vous choisissez ce que vous souhaitez. En revanche, très decevant d'avoir vu le barman mettre du gin bombay pour un cocktail a 30 dollars (taxes & tips inclus). A ce prix, j'esperais voir un gin de meilleur qualité
