The Coldroom was such a fun & memorable speakeasy experience in Montréal. The hidden entrance, intimate atmosphere, & stylish décor made the place feel special from the moment we walked in. The cocktails were creative, beautifully presented, & expertly made, with plenty of unique flavors beyond the usual bar menu.

The bartenders & staff were friendly, knowledgeable, & made the experience even more enjoyable. It's a great place for a relaxed evening, a date night, or drinks with friends while exploring Old Montréal. Definitely worth visiting for the atmosphere & inventive cocktails!

A very cool hidden speakeasy that's definitely worth checking out if you're in Montreal. We visited as part of a Friday night bar hop & only had to wait around 15 minutes to get in, which wasn't bad considering how popular it is.

Finding the entrance is part of the fun, & the separate exit adds to the mystery. Once inside, the dark, intimate atmosphere makes it a great spot for a quiet drink, a date night, or a catch up with friends.

The cocktails were excellent & well crafted, & there are a few nibbles available if you're feeling hungry. Prices were also very reasonable for the quality.

I'd recommend it for couples or smaller groups of up to four or five people, as the cosy setting suits a more intimate experience. Definitely one of the more unique bars we visited in Montreal.

J'ai référé 2 Américains à votre établissement lors de leur séjour à Montréal. Deux personnes ayant de la classe & du respect. Ils ont froidement été répondus lorsque vous vous êtes aperçus qu'ils parlaient uniquement an anglais. Vous étiez soudainement pleins & ils n'ont jamais eu de retour d'appel après qu'ils aient été placés sur votre liste d'attente. Très décevant & non Canadien comme comportement, d'autant que vous êtes situés au coeur du Vieux Montréal.

Great cocktails & unique setting.
Note: very low light & staircase to enter & leave. Not great if you have mobility issues.

No bourbon as of Oct 2025. Cool spot & unique but it was a downer when I found out they had no bourbon. I found many other option though.
