What a cutie little place!! So cool & unique experience!!
Get a fun cocktail tailored to your tastebuds! 👅
They make the drink based on your preferences & are very considerate about what you do & do not like 🤙🤙
Would recommend & will be back when I return to Montreal!!
Not a bar for someone going alone, felt pretty invisible there, the bartender only looked my way to offer another drink while happily chatting with the people he seemed to know. Also both drinks missed the mark, but it's a nice place, just not worth the hype.

We came across their sister clothing store first by chance & spent thousands there before making our way to The Cloakroom, which we had specifically researched & planned to visit. Our first trip to the bar was fantastic, but our second visit was disappointing due to the door service. The maître d' greeted our group & awkwardly insisted on hearing an individual verbal response from every single person, forcing it until he was satisfied-even though everyone had already answered & he simply missed one of us. It felt pompous & patronizing. Had that been our initial impression, we wouldn't have returned. Great concept, but the door hospitality on the second visit fell flat leaving us disappointed.
There was a sign that said wait to be seated, but no other indication of where to go or even where to look. After waiting for a few minutes with no sign of acknowledgement I had the sudden urge to rattle every door in the waiting room or breaking into the nearby clothing shop to see what was going on. Luckily my friend was the voice of patience & reason in this scenario & told me to wait a few minutes longer. Shortly after, an employee came to greet us, preventing me from commiting a criminal act over some cocktails. Which were very excellent. I was skeptical that the would be able to deliver a good sherry cocktail, as few bars even stock sherry. It was fresh & light & exactly what I was in the mood for. My friend also quite enjoyed her more spirit forward drink. The water was always full, service polite & prompt, & the lighting made each table feel private despite being very close together.
Speakeasy setup, tight space inside. Around 25 seats, no menu, entrance through an unmarked door next to a men's suit shop. The best part for me was that the cocktails are built on pre-Prohibition drinks with seriously high-quality essences.
I got here around 4pm on a Sunday, right before opening, & there were already five groups ahead of me. Still managed to snag the last bar seat, a corner spot with almost no room for my legs. Had to turn sideways out of necessity & you end up with a full view of the bar, which I didn't mind.
I'm usually not a huge fan of pre-Prohibition drinks. Two & I'm typically tapping out before I lose all memory of ever visiting the place. But here everything was customizable from aromatics, base to alcohol ratio. My first was an amaro base with a floral essence. It smelled like a standard citrusy amaro cocktail, but both the sweetness & the acid were pulled back. Went down so easy. Then a floral one, lavender & rose. Low-key almost a perfect lemonade.
Then their riff on a La Louisiane. Still medicinal, but spicy, with a bit of cookie dough essence running through it. Funky on the first sniff, then it settled into all these'unpleasant' bitter, spicy, funky notes. My bartender compared it to Vietnamese pho broth, & honestly, that faint aftertaste was there.
For the last one, the bartender suggested a reverse cocktail (liquor ratios flipped). By that point I couldn't focus on the details, but it was essentially a tonic with white vermouth & house-made amaro.
Unless you already know pre-Prohibition drinks well, it can be tricky to get exactly what you want. But for a fun night & a few good surprises, it's absolutely worth it.
