By far one of the best bars I've ever been to. Had an insanely delicious key lime pie cocktail there in November 2023. Leaving a review over a year later because I forgot to do so last year but wanted this place to get the love it deserves. The place is definitely busy but worth whatever wait you have. Don't sleep on this place, we absolutely will be back!

I was excited to try The Coldroom but left underwhelmed. The drinks weren't anything to write home about, especially given the prices. The service was a bit slow & cocktails had a lot of ice

Les cocktails sont hors de prix vu la quantité ! 30$ un cocktailshors taxe hors tips, nan mais sérieux ?! 😱 Cela a créé de la gêne à table car tout le monde ne pouvait vraiment pas se permettre ce genre de budget pour une bière. Il y a des bars clandestins tout aussi sympa, avec animations & bien moins cher. Cet établissement confirme vieille ville = attrape touristes.

The place was tricky to found but thanks to someone's review we found it. It's a hidden gem in Montreal & an experience. Highly recommend going there.
