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.
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 !
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!!

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?
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.
Probably would go again though.

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
Cloakroom was such a great experience. Each drink is made personally from scratch after chatting with the bartender about what you like, so every cocktail feels like a fun surprise. The drinks were creative & delicious. It's a small place & can be hard to get into, but totally worth it. The bar itself looks amazing & the atmosphere is top-notch. Would definitely love to go back.
It's a fantastic bar with a unique no menu setup. They ask you questions & make a custom cocktail for you. I go about every other week & I've been inviting people to share this place with!

Atmosphere: 9/10
Tucked behind a tailor shop in Montreal's Golden Square Mile, this speakeasy delivers an upscale & intimate experience. The small mirrored room cleverly feels larger than it is, anchored by an impressive backbar & a mix of bar stools & rear tables. The suit tailor-speakeasy concept places this bar in the same league as Dandy Room (Beijing) & Taylor Adam (Singapore). The overall layout even evokes Opium BKK in Bangkok. Music sits at a perfect volume for conversation.
Drinks: 9/10
Recommendation: Bartender's Choice
There is no menu; cocktails are crafted based on guest preferences. The bartenders excel at translating flavor requests into perfectly balanced drinks. High-quality glassware & coasters are used, though presentations are minimalistic, often without garnish. A welcome drink is offered upon arrival.
Service: 9/10
Water is served on arrival, & the team is attentive & friendly. Coat service is provided. Prices are slightly above average for Montreal, but the personalized service justifies the cost.
Great speakeasy spot for a premium drink in Montreal. Unique cocktails catered to your individual taste. No drink menus. No food. Small, dark & lively. Sit at the bar to witness the expertise.
Intimate, oak-paneled speakeasy vibe, located behind a men's clothing shop. Doorman & bartender were professional & friendly. No menus - you give your desired alcohol & flavor profile & they make you a unique drink. I stuck with mezcal, first a fruity & then a savory direction. Both delicious! Best for small groups & quieter convos - you wouldn't want to get rowdy or loud in here, it's too small : )
Venue ici pour la fête d'une amie. On a été placées dans la salle privée ce qui était vraiment sympa pour sa fête. Les barman sont vraiment attentionnés sur les goûts de chacune. On a toutes eu un cocktail personnalisé & vraiment très très bon.
Merci encore pour l'accueil.
Cloakroom Bar remains a top-tier speakeasy in Montreal, offering an intimate & exclusive cocktail experience. The hidden entrance & tiny space add to its charm, making every visit feel special.
The cocktails are still expertly crafted, but the experience feels less personalized than before. Previously, bartenders engaged in a deep conversation to tailor your drink; now, they ask three quick questions & get to work. The quality is still there, but the magic of true customization feels a bit diminished.
Still worth a visit, but longtime fans might notice the difference.
Very small, intimate bar with no menu - each bartender will make custom drinks depending on what you like or are craving. My advice: know what liquors, flavours & cocktails you enjoy (& don't) for the best experience.
