The Coldroom is described as a hidden speakeasy in Old Montreal with an unmarked door and a discreet buzzer that opens to a cellar like space with brick and wood tones, creating an intimate and atmospheric vibe. The drinks program is creative and often exceptional, with a balance focused approach and some playful touches from a menu featuring creative concepts, while the service is generally friendly and attentive though crowds can cause longer waits on busy nights and occasional inconsistencies. Food is limited to light snacks, and prices are considered average to high for the area, but many feel the cocktails are worth it. The overall impression is a distinctive, romantic and immersive experience that appeals to couples, groups and cocktail lovers who seek a memorable Montreal night out, and the entrance ritual plus the craft during the night make it a standout spot to visit.
Merci à, Lilie, Lily, Jackson baby, Jeanne, jake, other Jeanne, big Jake, Tristan, Millie, Catherine, Francois & Luis for everything, the smile the hospitality & the beverages. You the best. I love you.
L'endroit s'est révélé agréable : service attentionné, cocktails super bon bonne recommendations, mocktail très bof & aucune bière sans alcool. Le prix est dans le normal pour le Vieux …. J'ai trouvé le secret de la porte, mais je la laisserai aux prochains curieux.
We visited Cold Room Speakeasy on Friday after having an amazing experience with Sarah at el Pequeno. We came to Cold Room just to be served by her again, even tho she was a hostess she did not disappoint. Despite the long line & impatient guests, Sarah was warm, welcoming, & made sure we were well taken care of.
The drinks were fantastic expertly crafted & definitely worth the visit.
The only downside was our server, Lilie, who came off as rude & arrogant, which was a bit of a letdown.
Cold Room is definitely worth checking out, especially for the drinks & Sarah's hospitality!
Highly recommended. If you go Mon-Thu, it will be less busy. Drinks from menu are great! The bar tenders are highly attentive to detail & service. The only reason for they are not getting 5 starts from me (someone extremely picky when it comes to the hospitality industry), I ordered a gin & tonic after ordering some of their amazing drinks from the menu, & the g&t wasn't what I had hopped for.
FYI, best g&t I have ever had are served in the Basque Country.
