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.

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.

First things first, press this doorbell for the bartender to come let you in (see picture). We absolutely loved this hidden gem. Bartenders were super nice & experienced. I asked them to make a gin based drink that was a bit fruity & mildly sweet & they delivered! We did the same thing when we asked for a shot so don't be afraid to ask the bartender to surprise you with an original creation.

My experience at the Cold Room speakeasy in Old Montreal was nothing short of phenomenal. This hidden gem consistently exceeds my expectations, making each visit a memorable one. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance envelops you in a warm, inviting atmosphere that perfectly blends vintage charm with modern flair. The dim lighting, plush seating, & thoughtfully curated decor create an intimate setting that feels both exclusive & welcoming. The drinks are where Cold Room truly shines. Each cocktail is skillfully crafted with meticulous attention to detail & a clear passion for mixology. I highly recommend trying their signature Cold Fashion; it's a delightful twist on the classic old-fashioned that showcases their innovative approach to cocktail making. The balance of flavors is impeccable, making each sip a true pleasure. The service at Cold Room is equally superb. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, & genuinely enthusiastic about the offerings, adding to the overall enjoyment of your visit. Whether you're a cocktail connoisseur or simply looking for a cozy spot to unwind, Cold Room delivers top-notch experiences every time.

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!

Excellent speakeasy!! Very hidden (loved it) with a short walk down the stairs after ringing the doorbell. It's across from Bevo, you will probably miss it but that's okay someone will direct you. If you're serious about well crafted cocktails then you are at the right spot!!
