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.

Love the ambiance. The exposed brick & wood beams were inspiring (for my own house). Amazing & unusual drinks with a relaxed atmosphere. Would highly recommend - it is a Montreal must-see & experience.

Highly recommended. If you go Mon-Thu, it will be less busy. Drinks from menu are great! The bar tenders are highly attentive to detail & service. The only reason for they are not getting 5 starts from me (someone extremely picky when it comes to the hospitality industry), I ordered a gin & tonic after ordering some of their amazing drinks from the menu, & the g&t wasn't what I had hopped for.

FYI, best g&t I have ever had are served in the Basque Country.

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

I'm visiting Montreal for the first time & had a fantastic experience at the Coldroom. The drinks were delicious, & most importantly, our server Lilie was excellent & made sure we had an enjoyable experience. Lilie had tailored cocktail recommendations for each of us & also provided helpful information about Montreal. I highly recommend getting a cocktail at the Coldroom, but make sure you ask for Lilie!

The Coldroom provides a great speakeasy experience! Drinks were delicious & quite complex tasting. We had the following drinks: Rice to Meet You, The Musket & The Cold fashion. The mixiologists were great & very friendly! My partner also got a hoodie to remember the experience! I highly recommend you to go, ring the bell & wait a bit! It'll be worth your while!

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.
