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.

Très discret si on ne connaît pas on ne sait pas qu'il y a un bar là. Beaucoup de variétés de whisky, bourbon…… Serveuse très sympathique qui a pris le temps de nous conseiller.

Loved visiting this speakeasy. Tried a few cocktails & think the shotgun wedding is the best craft cocktail I have had in a second. There was a waitlist to get in, but it was not too long.

My experience at the Cold Room speakeasy in Old Montreal was nothing short of phenomenal. This hidden gem consistently exceeds my expectations, making each visit a memorable one. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance envelops you in a warm, inviting atmosphere that perfectly blends vintage charm with modern flair. The dim lighting, plush seating, & thoughtfully curated decor create an intimate setting that feels both exclusive & welcoming. The drinks are where Cold Room truly shines. Each cocktail is skillfully crafted with meticulous attention to detail & a clear passion for mixology. I highly recommend trying their signature Cold Fashion; it's a delightful twist on the classic old-fashioned that showcases their innovative approach to cocktail making. The balance of flavors is impeccable, making each sip a true pleasure. The service at Cold Room is equally superb. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, & genuinely enthusiastic about the offerings, adding to the overall enjoyment of your visit. Whether you're a cocktail connoisseur or simply looking for a cozy spot to unwind, Cold Room delivers top-notch experiences every time.

This was the first speakeasy I've been too & I love the concept. The entrance is super cool & discreet, you just need to be patient for someone to let you in. The atmosphere & lighting were perfect & the server was very helpful. We were looking forward to trying the grilled cheese as well, but the person wasn't there to make them, maybe next time! My mocktail tasted great though, definitely recommend checking this place out.

Super cool entrance, love the mood. One cocktail took more than 30 min to be served & we had to leave, unfortunately.

Milee was great! I didn't love the first cocktail I ordered & she replaced it without me even asking. We had an awesome experience with a true speakeasy feel. We'll 100% be back whenever we're in Montreal. (P.S. order the olives! You get a ton & they're the perfect drink accompaniment)
