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.
Dans l'ensemble Cloakroom Bar est décrit comme un speakeasy intime et discret, sans menu, où les barmen créent des cocktails sur mesure après un échange sur les goûts et l'humeur; ce concept unique, associé à des mixologues compétents et à une ambiance élégante et chaleureuse, en fait un lieu remarquable pour un rendez-vous ou une soirée cocktail. L'expérience peut sembler exclusive et premium, avec un cocktail de bienvenue et des créations personnalisées souvent décrites comme exceptionnelles, parfois même considérées comme les meilleures de Montréal; l'attente et le nombre de places limitées découlent de l'espace très petit, et certains trouvent le prix élevé au regard de la quantité d'alcool, tandis que d'autres voient la valeur dans la personnalisation, l'artisanat et l'ambiance. Des retours mentionnent quelques couacs ou une file d'attente à certaines heures, mais la plupart soulignent le personnel attentif et l'atmosphère intime qui valent le déplacement.
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.

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.
Clockroom Bar feels like a hidden gem, tucked beside a tailor shop. We were lucky to get in with no wait, but there was a line when we left.
The concept is great - no menu, just tell them your preferences & they create a custom cocktail. Mine was sweet & fruity, & I loved it. Service was smooth, & they even took our coats at the entrance.
The only downside is the space - it's very small & can feel cramped, with limited seating options (you sit side by side). Great experience overall, just not ideal if you want more comfort or privacy.

I used to come here when I was younger & was never that impressed, until now. I'm sober & was invited on a date so everything I ordered was mocktails. They really knew their stuff! The customization really impressed me & the bartenders were great. My date wasn't that great but still had a great night!
Stunning memorable drinks.
The welcome drink was refreshing.
Instead of their questions our table gave single words to the bartender. The bartender aced the challenge & made us a drink based on interpretative words.
Menu less bar! You gotta know what you like, but don't fret, they will guide you.
Fruity? Floral? Refreshing? Bitter?
Whiskey, gin or vodka?
Based on your description, you will get a drink that is unique to you.
Very cool atmosphere & awesome service catering to your palette. We arrived at 1630pm & there was about 7 people waiting ahead of us. The bar opened at 1600 & we waited 30 min before getting in. The venue is not large & can only hold 25 people so that explains the wait. The mixologist started us off with a pleasant & flavorful fruit flavored eye shot. It was very tasty. Afterwards he asked each of us what kind of flavors we like & if we have any specific preferences to certain liquors. It is best to come in knowing exactly the type of flavor profile & type of spirits you enjoy do the mixologist can create a specific concoction that will suit your taste. I unfortunately am not a seasoned expert on liquors & flavors so I think it was my fault that my drink did not blow me away. I tasted my friend's cocktail & it was outstanding but she was very specific in what she liked. The drinks were beautifully presented & I would definitely return another time.
Dès mon arrivée, je me suis sentie observée & jugée. Le serveur & la serveuse nous regardaient constamment, moi & mon amie, d'une façon vraiment inconfortable.
Nous avons simplement pris des photos de nos verres, & à partir de là, ils nous fixaient, chuchotaient & riaient entre eux. C'était très déplacé & non professionnel.
Au lieu de se sentir bien accueillies, on avait l'impression de déranger. Le vibe est mauvais, lourd, & pas du tout chaleureux.
Je viens dans un bar pour me détendre, pas pour me sentir surveillée ou jugée.
A bar for bartenders... & amateur bartenders, & everyone else of course. The expertise here far exceeded expectations. No menu, everything improvised according to your taste & preferences. 25 seats only, no reservations, but the 30min wait was absolutely worth it.
