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 🙂

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.

Lewis was excellent from start to finish. He was professional, knowledgeable, & took the time to explain everything clearly. The cold room is working perfectly & you can tell he takes pride in doing the job right. He arrived on time, worked efficiently, & left everything clean & organized. I would definitely recommend Lewis to anyone looking for reliable & high-quality service.

Can't really judge the food, but the concept of this bar is quite interesting, they have funny drinks related to ducks. The drinks are good, not my favorite but still good quality.

Good place for drink.
Hidden bar thingy isn't true anymore since people have posted the door & bell picture directly so we found it very conveniently.
Drinks overall were good, not much options in the food. Cheese sandwich is a good choice btw

Such a great space with delicious cocktails & an awesome speakeasy vibe! Cocktail bars can often feel pretentious, but the staff & atmosphere at The Coldroom made me feel so comfortable. Jeanne was the absolute best bartender I've ever had at a cocktail bar, so friendly & sweet! I'll definitely be coming back!
