We went right at opening & got a table right away as we were the first ones there but it filled up very quickly, which speaks to its popularity! It has a nice atmosphere with speakeasy vibes as the bar is in the basement. The drinks were good but very strong. The menu also had fun characters with drink vibes which added to the experience. The entrance was it a bit confusing though as we thought the exit door which faces the street (Rue St. Paul) was the entrance.

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.
