Reviews describe The Coldroom as a standout hidden speakeasy in Old Montreal with a discreet entrance and a cozy cellar like vibe. The cocktail program is the star here, famous for creative, well balanced drinks and a wide whiskey selection, with many guests praising knowledgeable, friendly service; waits can be longer on weekends, and the small food menu is secondary to the drinks. Overall, it is seen as a must visit for cocktail lovers, offering a unique atmosphere, strong vibe, and memorable, high quality cocktails at a price that some consider steep but fair for the experience.
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.
One of our favorite speakeasies in Montreal. Secret entrance way (press the bell & wait patiently!), friendly servers, creative cocktail menu, & a very'cool' vibe - the perfect mix for a speakeasy!
Each drink is unique in its taste & presentation…it is always fun to try them all or just name your flavor note & the bartender can come up with a surprise.

Ce bar à cocktails est vraiment unique & original, offrant une ambiance hors du commun. Les cocktails sont absolument délicieux & de grande qualité. Cependant, il est important de noter que les prix peuvent être assez élevés, il faut donc s'y préparer.
A unique experience at The Cold Room! As a true speakeasy, finding it was quite a challenge, which adds to its charm. The key is to look for a black door with an emergency exit sign featuring a rubber duck. Ring the bell & wait... it's worth it! The cocktails were well-crafted, but what really impressed me was the extensive selection of whiskeys, especially Canadian ones. The place was spotless, very professional service, & although the prices are on the higher side, the quality makes up for it. Definitely a spot to return to!

A dimly lit, super cute speak easy that wasn't easy to find but not impossible! Loved the vibe inside that had quite a bit of seating both at the bar & table. Drink selection was unique & you'll want to have a bit of an adventurous palette.
