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.

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!

2024: friendly efficient service on a Tuesday. Drinks were great, I had the Money Talks & Rice to Meet You which were balanced & strong. Love the cute duck menu but not sure where they're going with the uninspired decor. Music wasn't memorable either. 2019: Great service & decent drinks but was a bit disappointed considering the amazing Christmas pop-up bar was created by the same people. Despite being a speakeasy, it didn't really have any sort of classy loungey vibe like all the others, & felt more like a pub atmosphere.

Fun little place. The speakeasy part of it just means they have an unmarked door (look for it across the street from Bevo) - they're not snooty or exclusive in any way. Good cocktails, full & with hip music, but not overly packed/loud - they keep a good balance.

Great speakeasy with a unique atmosphere. Took a while to find the spot & will definitely going back.

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!!
