Such a great vibe. Music is the right volume where you can talk, bartenders are phenomenal at their craft, professional, & welcoming. It's hard to find, but well worth the search

Really cool place to have a drink. A proper speakeasy style of bar with the door just being an emergency exit with no signage. Great signature cocktails & a huge range of Whisky's available.

I very rarely leave reviews. But as a self proclaimed'cocktail guy' I have to say Milee was an incredibly knowledgeable & friendly bartender. The menu looked amazing but even without it, Milee came up with fantastic options that hit perfectly. I can't wait to go back home to tell them about the Cold Room & I hope Milee is there to give them the services I received as well. & you know this will be the first stop when I'm back in Montreal.

Amazing venue, it had always been filled up to the brim whenever we come to visit, but finally made it inside after several years. Katharine was an amazing server, super polite, sassy, & attentive. The quality of the cocktails & massive selection was well worth waiting for. Will be coming back.

We LOVE The Coldroom! We brought a group of our friends here on Saturday night (who do not live in Montreal) & they absolutely adored the space. The drinks are amazing, the ambiance is a vibe, & the staff are so kind, accommodating, & always ready to make a recommendation.

We can't wait to come back & enjoy some more cocktails!

We stopped by after shopping in Old Montreal & were immediately drawn in by the dimly lit, romantic ambiance. The atmosphere set the perfect mood to unwind, & the mixology cocktails were exceptional - thoughtfully crafted & beautifully balanced. We truly fell in love with this place & would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a great cocktail experience.
