Review Summary

The Coldroom is widely celebrated as an authentic speakeasy in Old Montreal, hidden behind an unmarked, mysterious door that rewards visitors with a unique and memorable experience. Guests consistently praise the impressive craftsmanship of the creative cocktail menu, noting that the bartenders are exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and often willing to craft bespoke drinks based on personal preferences. While the entrance can be challenging to locate and wait times can increase during busy weekend evenings, the atmospheric, dim, and cozy cellar setting provides a perfect backdrop for a night out. Although the food menu is limited, the high quality of the beverages and the warm, welcoming service from the dedicated staff make this a must-visit destination for those looking for a sophisticated and intimate bar experience.

Fun speakeasy because you get to press a button to get in. The music was a lot of fun. Crowded & boozy drinks. Took a while for us to order & get our drinks. Interesting crowd.

Pour les fins connaisseurs, ce sont des drinks bien particuliers qui nécessitent un goût développé pour les drinks. L'ambiance est très bien. Attente très longue avant d'avoir une place meme en debut de soirée.

Went to Coldroom last night with my bf & we loved it. The drinks were amazing, the vibe was super cool, kind of underground & dimly lit. Our server Evelyn was really attentive & friendly. We will be back next time we're in Montreal!

Quite enjoyed this place. Didn't take long to get in (weekday early evening), loved the service & selection (drinks at the bar). Not too loud, not too bright, not too expensive. Good stuff.

Pretentious is an understatement. Staff is rude & too used to shitting on tourists as a form of being hip. Drinks were average & overpriced. Bar Big In Japan & even a nice restaurant like Mon Lapain which is more wine focused put this place to shame in cocktails for 30% less cost. Solid MEH
