Cloakroom Bar fonctionne comme un concept de speakeasy intimiste privilégiant une approche sur mesure de la mixologie. Des barmans experts utilisent un vaste inventaire de spiritueux haut de gamme et de sirops maison pour concevoir des cocktails personnalisés répondant aux préférences spécifiques de chaque client. L'intérieur présente une atmosphère raffinée et tamisée, caractérisée par des sièges confortables et une esthétique sobre qui privilégie le confort acoustique.

Cet établissement agit principalement comme une destination sophistiquée pour ceux qui recherchent une précision technique dans la préparation des boissons au sein d'un environnement privé. Chaque breuvage constitue une composition unique plutôt qu'une rotation standard de classiques populaires. L'attention demeure fixée sur l'art du cocktail et le maintien d'un espace social calme pour les amateurs de culture de boissons artisanales.

I'm in Montreal for a quick visit. Cloakroom bar was my favorite stop of the day. Maximilian it is the best Bartender I have ever witnessed in my life. Very personable, & extremely talented when it comes to making drinks. Be sure to get a drink, made by him when you visit!
Gimmicky & basic. If you want to feel like you did something special, I guess you can try. But honestly I'd skip. Bad service, tiny crowded, & just gimmicky.
Meh. We have been to many speakeasies, & unfortunately this one didn't live up to expectations for us. It is a cool location, we were initially seated in a small room just off the main room, it was nice. We had a good time, we had each two drinks each in pretty rapid succession. There was a party of three other people sat in the room with us, they had multiple drinks as well. We were all ordering & drinking in a very timely manner shall we say. For me the drinks were just average, the gambit here is that you tell them what elements you want (gin, whiskey, liquor forward, fruity, bubbles fruity, etc.) & they create a craft cocktail for you. Personally I didn't love either of my drinks, it kind of felt like some of my elements were lost, & it was not what I asked for, it seemed like they had their drinks & they were trying to put what you asked for within their recipes. But really this review would've been higher but for the fact that one of the employees came in & asked all five of us, two separate parties, if we could move to other tables in the main room to make room for a larger party. We had just begun talking to the other party & were enjoying ourselves when we were asked to move.
If you're going to ask people to move then offer a free drink on the house or something. We were taken into the next room & stuffed between two other parties, it really did not feel good to have to move midway through. We won't be back & cannot recommend this place.
I've been bopping around the Montreal cocktail scene for a few days now. It's not fully developed & has a way to go for sure. Cloakroom is the far & away champion. Great intimate feel. Smart engaging staff. Solid spirit selection. I could disappear in there happily on the regular.
Ulysse was a great server, always bring him a story to describe your drink. He distills it into something magical. Also make sure you bring a movie poster representing your feelings & soul to help with the drink making process. Ulysse really really appreciates all the extra effort. What a legend.
Wanted to check out a local spot for something different. Waited about 20 minutes to get a seat. Waiters/bartenders are professional & bilingual. The vibe is cool, tiny but the tables all face the bar so you're looking at everyone's backs.
Cocktails were fun, though together with tip (18%) it was $85 CAD for one drink each. Definitely not a place to spend the night drinking, but fun for one before heading somewhere else.
