Review Summary

The Coldroom is widely celebrated as an authentic speakeasy in Old Montreal, hidden behind an unmarked, mysterious door that rewards visitors with a unique and memorable experience. Guests consistently praise the impressive craftsmanship of the creative cocktail menu, noting that the bartenders are exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and often willing to craft bespoke drinks based on personal preferences. While the entrance can be challenging to locate and wait times can increase during busy weekend evenings, the atmospheric, dim, and cozy cellar setting provides a perfect backdrop for a night out. Although the food menu is limited, the high quality of the beverages and the warm, welcoming service from the dedicated staff make this a must-visit destination for those looking for a sophisticated and intimate bar experience.

It was our first day in Montreal & we decided to visit this hidden speakeasy. We loved the experience from the very first moment. The place has an incredible atmosphere, with warm lighting & a very special vibe that makes it perfect for having a drink & enjoying things at a relaxed pace.
The snack we ordered was much better than we expected, & the drinks were very well crafted, both in flavor & presentation.
Without a doubt, it was an excellent way to start our trip in Montreal.

A truly hidden gem to find in old town Montreal. Behind a hidden unmarked door is a fab cocktail bar speakeasy style. Ring the bell & wait to be collected & you will discover a hidden cocktail bar with a hidden exit too. Defo worth a visit & a memorable place to go. Great to meet another brit working there, thanks for the travel tips Jake.

If you haven't found The Coldroom yet - follow the duck. Ring the bell, head downstairs, & prepare to be impressed. Hidden in a converted cold storage warehouse in Old Montreal, this place has incredible vibes, seriously great cocktails, & some of the most knowledgeable & welcoming bartenders in the city. The kind of bar you bring every out-of-town guest to just to see their reaction. An absolute gem.

Good place for drink.
Hidden bar thingy isn't true anymore since people have posted the door & bell picture directly so we found it very conveniently.
Drinks overall were good, not much options in the food. Cheese sandwich is a good choice btw

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.

Beautiful little hidden gem, with old beautiful details. It's one of a kind cocktails experience, a must have. They ask you questions about our tastes, then they crate a mix for you. We loved every drink. I highly recommend

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.
