Cloakroom Bar

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

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.

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.

A very unique experience.

No menu. You simply tell them what you like & they have a decision tree about what drink to make.

Through talking with the bartender, I learned of a couple new drink ideas.

Great service, intimate atmosphere, well designed drinks. You won't be disappointed.

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.

Best (& smallest) speak easy in town! Bartenders & cocktails are just amazing, all custom made

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 : )

Still Great, But Less Personal

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.

Was visiting from out of town & read great things about this cocktail bar. It did not disappoint. The drinks were delicious courtesy of Jay the bartender. Whether you're a local on a first date or from out of town, this spot is perfect for all. Hope to come back soon.

Thanks for some great conversation, Jay
