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.

We had a blast & enjoyed our drinks so much we ordered the same cocktails 2x. The atmosphere is perfect & the menu is creative without being unapproachable. The Sallerac was my personal fav.

Had an amazing time at The Coldroom. Such a chill spot, tucked away with a cool vibe, good music, & just an easy place to hang out.

Huge shoutout to Luis behind the bar. He was incredible all night, super friendly, really knowledgeable, & clearly passionate about what he does. He took the time to chat with us, made great recommendations, & every drink he put together was spot on.

The cocktails were top tier, the service was genuine, & the whole experience felt effortless in the best way. Easily one of my favorite bars in Montreal. Will definitely be back.

J'ai référé 2 Américains à votre établissement lors de leur séjour à Montréal. Deux personnes ayant de la classe & du respect. Ils ont froidement été répondus lorsque vous vous êtes aperçus qu'ils parlaient uniquement an anglais. Vous étiez soudainement pleins & ils n'ont jamais eu de retour d'appel après qu'ils aient été placés sur votre liste d'attente. Très décevant & non Canadien comme comportement, d'autant que vous êtes situés au coeur du Vieux Montréal.

We went to this bar on a recommendation from a friend. It was fun to find the entrance & be let in. It's a very cool atmosphere & definitely feels like a sneaky secret. We sat at the bar & Milee was our bartender. She was super lovely & made wonderful drinks. We established that we had some Vancouver connections & she helped with Montreal recommendations. The bar itself was great & then Milee took it to the next level. 11/10 recommend & 20/10 to Milee 🙂

Un endroit qui indique ne pas prendre de réservation mais qu'il y a une liste pour entrer. On a attendu dans la file un bon moment avant de se faire dire que nous n'étions pas sur la liste & qu'on devait attendre 1.5 pour entrer. Avoir su, nous n'aurions pas attendu dans la file. On a changé d'établissement & nous ne prévoyons pas y retourner.

If you haven't found The Coldroom yet - follow the duck. Ring the bell, head downstairs, & prepare to be impressed. Hidden in a converted cold storage warehouse in Old Montreal, this place has incredible vibes, seriously great cocktails, & some of the most knowledgeable & welcoming bartenders in the city. The kind of bar you bring every out-of-town guest to just to see their reaction. An absolute gem.
