Had an amazing time at The Coldroom. Such a chill spot, tucked away with a cool vibe, good music, & just an easy place to hang out.

Huge shoutout to Luis behind the bar. He was incredible all night, super friendly, really knowledgeable, & clearly passionate about what he does. He took the time to chat with us, made great recommendations, & every drink he put together was spot on.

The cocktails were top tier, the service was genuine, & the whole experience felt effortless in the best way. Easily one of my favorite bars in Montreal. Will definitely be back.

We went to this bar on a recommendation from a friend. It was fun to find the entrance & be let in. It's a very cool atmosphere & definitely feels like a sneaky secret. We sat at the bar & Milee was our bartender. She was super lovely & made wonderful drinks. We established that we had some Vancouver connections & she helped with Montreal recommendations. The bar itself was great & then Milee took it to the next level. 11/10 recommend & 20/10 to Milee 🙂

We LOVE The Coldroom! We brought a group of our friends here on Saturday night (who do not live in Montreal) & they absolutely adored the space. The drinks are amazing, the ambiance is a vibe, & the staff are so kind, accommodating, & always ready to make a recommendation.

We can't wait to come back & enjoy some more cocktails!

Came as a recommendation from the chefs at Le Mousso & we weren't let down. Fantastic atmosphere, great drinks, & Jackson behind the bar was super friendly & personable. Do everything you can to keep him there; first-rate bartender.

L'endroit s'est révélé agréable : service attentionné, cocktails super bon bonne recommendations, mocktail très bof & aucune bière sans alcool. Le prix est dans le normal pour le Vieux …. J'ai trouvé le secret de la porte, mais je la laisserai aux prochains curieux.
