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. Les visiteurs interagissent directement avec le personnel pour explorer une carte personnalisée dépourvue de menus imprimés traditionnels. 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.
Cloakroom Bar est largement reconnu comme l'un des meilleurs speakeasies de Montréal, proposant une expérience hautement personnalisée où les clients reçoivent des cocktails sur mesure basés sur leurs préférences individuelles plutôt que sur un menu traditionnel. Les visiteurs louent fréquemment l'atmosphère intime et sophistiquée ainsi que le professionnalisme des mixologues qui créent des boissons uniques pour chaque personne. Bien que la qualité supérieure du service et l'entrée secrète créent une expérience mémorable, certains clients trouvent que le prix élevé et l'espace restreint sont des points à considérer. Malgré des avis partagés sur les boissons et le rapport qualité-prix, l'établissement demeure une destination prisée pour les personnes seules ou les couples à la recherche d'une soirée raffinée.
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?
Tucked away, as a speakeasy should be. Our experience had as wait for just a couple of minutes outside the suit store. Led through a short hallway to a great spot. The ambiance, music & team provided the perfect atmosphere. No cocktail menu, rather tell them what you like, love & dislike & they'll make a signature cocktail-just for you!
We loved everything about this experience!
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.
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
A hidden gen in the heart of Montréal. Perfectly bilingual staff offering impeccable cocktails, intimate ambiance & top-tier service. We particularily enjoyed chatting with other cocktail lovers sitting around us! The only hiccup we encountered was that we noticed someone had taken our brand new umbrella from the entrance once we departed. Something to keep in mind.
