Reviews describe The Coldroom as a standout hidden speakeasy in Old Montreal with a discreet entrance and a cozy cellar like vibe. The cocktail program is the star here, famous for creative, well balanced drinks and a wide whiskey selection, with many guests praising knowledgeable, friendly service; waits can be longer on weekends, and the small food menu is secondary to the drinks. Overall, it is seen as a must visit for cocktail lovers, offering a unique atmosphere, strong vibe, and memorable, high quality cocktails at a price that some consider steep but fair for the experience.
By far one of the best bars I've ever been to. Had an insanely delicious key lime pie cocktail there in November 2023. Leaving a review over a year later because I forgot to do so last year but wanted this place to get the love it deserves. The place is definitely busy but worth whatever wait you have. Don't sleep on this place, we absolutely will be back!
Les cocktails sont hors de prix vu la quantité ! 30$ un cocktailshors taxe hors tips, nan mais sérieux ?! 😱 Cela a créé de la gêne à table car tout le monde ne pouvait vraiment pas se permettre ce genre de budget pour une bière. Il y a des bars clandestins tout aussi sympa, avec animations & bien moins cher. Cet établissement confirme vieille ville = attrape touristes.
cool secret bar, found it by accident (saw people standing in line at the bar next door, also stood in line, turned out that this was the entrance to the "coldroom", great atmosphere, nice & pleasant bartenders, helped to choose suitable drinks for each of my friends, fast service, you can take a jelly candy from the bar (a small thing but nice) the menu is quite large (only cocktails) there are a couple of non-alcoholic ones $ 13-15, all the rest start from $ 17, different strengths, to be honest there are small minuses: 1. stuffiness, we were sitting in the bar in the basement & it was too warm there, it felt like there was not enough fresh air. 2. the volume of the music is disproportionate to the area of the room, from which your ears & throat quickly begin to hurt, since it is difficult to communicate with the interlocutor when you can not hear yourself. But if this does not bother you, & you want to pleasantly end the evening, this place is ideal
J'aime ce genre d'endroit ! Un bar à l'ambiance spéciale mais agréable ! Une entrée atypique qui ajoute du charme à cet établissement. Les deux cocktails que j'ai dégusté étaient très bons !
Ce bar à cocktails est vraiment unique & original, offrant une ambiance hors du commun. Les cocktails sont absolument délicieux & de grande qualité. Cependant, il est important de noter que les prix peuvent être assez élevés, il faut donc s'y préparer.

When I arrived at the set address for a friend's birthday, I got lost & ended up in the smallest bar restaurant in Montreal! So one thing about The Coldroom, is that it maintains the essence of what it means to be a speakeasy! When we arrived, we were escorted to our seats by our server for the night, our server was quick, efficient & told us all we needed to know about speakeasy culture an the menu items for the night. I opted for a drink similar to a Bloody Mary & I thoroughly enjoyed it! The snacks on the other had were just okay. The atmosphere was lovely & it's definitely a place I would return to with friends!
This is one bar I love. You have to look for the plain black door with a doorbell. Once inside you are escorted down a flight of stairs & into the bar. Atmosphere was perfect with the right balance of music. Everyone there is very friendly. Don't forget to bring your duck.
The Coldroom is a must-visit hidden gem in Montréal! Tucked away behind an unassuming door, this speakeasy-style bar offers an unforgettable cocktail experience. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by a warm, intimate atmosphere & an incredibly knowledgeable staff. The cocktails here are nothing short of amazing! The menu offers a wide variety of creative & expertly crafted drinks that cater to every taste, whether you're into something fruity, strong, or completely unique. Each cocktail is made with precision & flair, making the experience even more special. What I love most is how they mix classic cocktails with innovative twists, & they're always ready to whip up something off the menu if you're feeling adventurous. The hidden location adds to the charm, making it feel like you've stumbled upon something truly special. If you're in Montréal, The Coldroom is an absolute must for anyone who loves great cocktails & a unique, secretive vibe!
2024: friendly efficient service on a Tuesday. Drinks were great, I had the Money Talks & Rice to Meet You which were balanced & strong. Love the cute duck menu but not sure where they're going with the uninspired decor. Music wasn't memorable either. 2019: Great service & decent drinks but was a bit disappointed considering the amazing Christmas pop-up bar was created by the same people. Despite being a speakeasy, it didn't really have any sort of classy loungey vibe like all the others, & felt more like a pub atmosphere.

A dimly lit, super cute speak easy that wasn't easy to find but not impossible! Loved the vibe inside that had quite a bit of seating both at the bar & table. Drink selection was unique & you'll want to have a bit of an adventurous palette.
