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.

L'ambiance très cozy très chaleureuse. Les barmans: des sportifs-artistes minutieux qui creesnt des cocktails savoureux, pensés dans une chorégraphie admirable. Un plaisir de les regarder ajouter des petites gouttes de saveur, des fleurs à la pince, des spray d'arômes avec la précision de chirurgiens. Les meilleurs cocktails que j'ai eu l'occasion de goûter. Une adresse de moins en moins secrète mais au combien exceptionnelle

I'm visiting Montreal for the first time & had a fantastic experience at the Coldroom. The drinks were delicious, & most importantly, our server Lilie was excellent & made sure we had an enjoyable experience. Lilie had tailored cocktail recommendations for each of us & also provided helpful information about Montreal. I highly recommend getting a cocktail at the Coldroom, but make sure you ask for Lilie!

Press the doorbell & wait for someone to open! A hidden gem with a stylish, laid-back vibe, this speakeasy delivers a solid cocktail menu & an even better atmosphere. Drinks are good-well-balanced & creative without trying too hard. Great spot for a chill, low-key night out.
