Review Summary

The Coldroom is described as a hidden speakeasy in Old Montreal with an unmarked door and a discreet buzzer that opens to a cellar like space with brick and wood tones, creating an intimate and atmospheric vibe. The drinks program is creative and often exceptional, with a balance focused approach and some playful touches from a menu featuring creative concepts, while the service is generally friendly and attentive though crowds can cause longer waits on busy nights and occasional inconsistencies. Food is limited to light snacks, and prices are considered average to high for the area, but many feel the cocktails are worth it. The overall impression is a distinctive, romantic and immersive experience that appeals to couples, groups and cocktail lovers who seek a memorable Montreal night out, and the entrance ritual plus the craft during the night make it a standout spot to visit.

This was amazing. A true speakeasy experience. Going from the hustle & bustle of the overhead street to a chill cocktail lounge was so refreshing! The cocktails were creative recipes, names, & themes. The server was awesome in helping us choose what we wanted. I'm not in Mo freak often, but when I am, you can find me here!

Very cool hidden bar at the old port of Mot real! Cute & creative menu- the bartender made me a drink which was not on the menu after asking what I liked- it was absolutely delicious & worth it! Great atmosphere underground with vintage style decor.

Typical speakeasy with the hidden entrance next to El Pequeno. Creative cocktails were complex & unique.

Press the doorbell & wait for someone to open! A hidden gem with a stylish, laid-back vibe, this speakeasy delivers a solid cocktail menu & an even better atmosphere. Drinks are good-well-balanced & creative without trying too hard. Great spot for a chill, low-key night out.

One of our favorite speakeasies in Montreal. Secret entrance way (press the bell & wait patiently!), friendly servers, creative cocktail menu, & a very'cool' vibe - the perfect mix for a speakeasy!

Each drink is unique in its taste & presentation…it is always fun to try them all or just name your flavor note & the bartender can come up with a surprise.

Atmosphere: 7.5/10
Tucked away in Old Montreal, The Coldroom is a true speakeasy with an unmarked entrance & cellar-like vibe. The space feels like a wine cave meets cocktail den - casual & dim, with a long bar counter & multiple group seating areas. Music was slightly too loud, but still manageable for short conversations.

Drinks: 6/10
Recommendation: Sallerac
The menu is themed around a fictional 1970s Montreal rubber duck squat - playful, creative, & packed with personality. Each drink includes its flavor profile, ingredients, & glassware shape, making it easy to navigate. While the menu concept stands out, the drinks themselves fall a bit flat. Presentation is minimal, with no garnish, & the bar uses below-average glassware & no coasters.

Service: 8.5/10
Water was served on arrival. The team was friendly & attentive throughout. Prices are average for Montreal, with a balance between standard cocktails & more premium, exotic options that are fairly priced.

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!
