Expert bartenders utilize a vast inventory of premium spirits and house-made syrups to craft individualized cocktails tailored to specific guest preferences.

Guests engage directly with the staff to navigate a personalized menu devoid of traditional printed lists. This venue functions primarily as a sophisticated destination for those seeking technical precision in drink preparation within a secluded environment. Every beverage serves as a unique composition rather than a standard rotation of popular classics.

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.

Such a cool spot! When visiting Montreal I visited Cloakroom Bar & would definitely go again whenever I'm in the city. An intimate, beautiful space & warm, friendly service from everyone we encountered.
No menu as they will customize a drink based on your preferences, & every drink our group ordered was incredible! Beautifully crafted, delicious & I love how they make many ingredients in house. Can't wait to visit again!

What a place! We felt really welcomed a Mexican, he gave us really good recomendaciones about the drinks. 🍹 The concept of the bar is interesting… there is no menu, therefore you just say what you are in the mood of… it's fine cause they know the exact questions to make in order to give the best choice. Definitively a must on the bar hop night. My husband was really in the mood for a Negroni & even though it was a cocktail per se… they made him a version of a similar drink. He was really happy about the choice of the waiter.

Speakeasy vraiment sympa. La salle n'est pas très grande mais on était bien installé. Pas de carte, vous dites ce que vous aimez & le bartender improvise un cocktail. J'en ai pris un sans alcool, & il était excellent également.

Neat experience. Drinks were good. I liked how they were made by asking what your flavour preferences are. It is expensive but it is about the experience.

Drinks are good, but it is quite crowded. The bartenders were kind, the hostess was not super kind or welcoming

Expérience gâchée par le service. La serveuse avec des lunettes (tatouage sur l'avant-bras) a été particulièrement désagréable. Dommage, car la personne à l'accueil (Vanessa) était très accueillante & solaire

There's a reason this is on every list of'coolest bars in Montreal'. It is VERY cool. It's definitively a'hidden gem'. You walk in the door up the outside stairs & it feels like you're in the wrong place. But then a door opens & the maitre d asks how many & brings you in (IF there's a spot. It's small, & exclusive, so you could be waiting in the doorway a bit...there's some room though). The way they make drinks is very cool, I won't tell you how as you should experience it yourself, but don't go in expecting to say'I'll have an old-fashioned'. It IS very pricey, but that's because of the exclusivity & skills you get in return...as well as the sprits...there's nothing SAQ shelf there really. VERY premium. Maximillion made us our drinks & he was awesome (I'll bring you our secret Mac n Cheese when we come back my friend!). If you're looking for a real'wow' kind of night, maybe with that date you really want to impress, or just to show your Mrs that you still have some spark, this is a GREAT option.

I love this place. Shout out to Ulysse (spelling?) for the absolutely outstanding hospitality. He made me feel welcome & at home (when I was attending solo). & he made the best cocktails.

I highly recommend. Staff here is phenomenal. Just make sure you know what you like. Important as you need to tell the bartenders.
