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.

This was amazing. A true speakeasy experience. Going from the hustle & bustle of the overhead street to a chill cocktail lounge was so refreshing! The cocktails were creative recipes, names, & themes. The server was awesome in helping us choose what we wanted. I'm not in Mo freak often, but when I am, you can find me here!

The Coldroom, c'est l'endroit où l'élégance se mêle à la discrétion. Si tu veux vivre une soirée hors du commun, loin des bars touristiques, dans un cadre chargé d'histoire avec des cocktails vraiment bien pensés - c'est un incontournable. Je le recommande chaudement pour une sortie raffinée & intimiste.

The entrance was admittedly a little hard to find as it was an inconspicuous black door tucked away in the corner that required guests to be buzzed in. That aside, The Coldroom was an excellent speakeasy with cozy atmosphere topped up with great drinks that all add up to shape the perfect night.

Great atmosphere & decor & even better cocktails! We went early in the evening & there'd clearly been a flurry of arrivals right before us so our first drinks did take a wee while but they were well worth the wait. Second drinks were much quicker. Tried 4 different cocktails between us & they were all really excellent. Didn't eat so can't comment on food.
