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.
Milee was great! I didn't love the first cocktail I ordered & she replaced it without me even asking. We had an awesome experience with a true speakeasy feel. We'll 100% be back whenever we're in Montreal. (P.S. order the olives! You get a ton & they're the perfect drink accompaniment)
By far one of the best bars I've ever been to. Had an insanely delicious key lime pie cocktail there in November 2023. Leaving a review over a year later because I forgot to do so last year but wanted this place to get the love it deserves. The place is definitely busy but worth whatever wait you have. Don't sleep on this place, we absolutely will be back!
I was excited to try The Coldroom but left underwhelmed. The drinks weren't anything to write home about, especially given the prices. The service was a bit slow & cocktails had a lot of ice
Les cocktails sont hors de prix vu la quantité ! 30$ un cocktailshors taxe hors tips, nan mais sérieux ?! 😱 Cela a créé de la gêne à table car tout le monde ne pouvait vraiment pas se permettre ce genre de budget pour une bière. Il y a des bars clandestins tout aussi sympa, avec animations & bien moins cher. Cet établissement confirme vieille ville = attrape touristes.
cool secret bar, found it by accident (saw people standing in line at the bar next door, also stood in line, turned out that this was the entrance to the "coldroom", great atmosphere, nice & pleasant bartenders, helped to choose suitable drinks for each of my friends, fast service, you can take a jelly candy from the bar (a small thing but nice) the menu is quite large (only cocktails) there are a couple of non-alcoholic ones $ 13-15, all the rest start from $ 17, different strengths, to be honest there are small minuses: 1. stuffiness, we were sitting in the bar in the basement & it was too warm there, it felt like there was not enough fresh air. 2. the volume of the music is disproportionate to the area of the room, from which your ears & throat quickly begin to hurt, since it is difficult to communicate with the interlocutor when you can not hear yourself. But if this does not bother you, & you want to pleasantly end the evening, this place is ideal
Super cool space, service was okay (kind of "too cool or busy for you" vibes if I'm honest - not my favorite). Had a drink I loved & a drink I hated - hit & miss. Love the ducks!
J'aime ce genre d'endroit ! Un bar à l'ambiance spéciale mais agréable ! Une entrée atypique qui ajoute du charme à cet établissement. Les deux cocktails que j'ai dégusté étaient très bons !
