Cloakroom Bar

The Cloakroom Bar is genuinely one of the best cocktail experiences I've ever had - & the accolades back it up. Ranked #2 bar in Canada & #31 in North America, this intimate 25-seat gem in Montreal's Golden Square Mile is the real deal.

What makes it truly special is the no-menu approach. You tell the bartender what you're in the mood for - a spirit, a flavour profile, a vibe - & they craft something extraordinary just for you. The collection of rare vintage spirits, including some truly remarkable aged amari & bourbons sourced from European cellars, is unlike anything you'll find elsewhere in the city.

The atmosphere is warm, intimate, & quietly sophisticated - the kind of place where time slows down & every sip feels considered. Beverage director Andrew Whibley & the team are passionate, knowledgeable, & genuinely love what they do.

If you care about cocktails at all, this is a non-negotiable stop in Montreal. One of a kind.

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.
