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.

No bourbon as of Oct 2025. Cool spot & unique but it was a downer when I found out they had no bourbon. I found many other option though.

Very cool hidden bar at the old port of Mot real! Cute & creative menu- the bartender made me a drink which was not on the menu after asking what I liked- it was absolutely delicious & worth it! Great atmosphere underground with vintage style decor.

Love the ambiance. The exposed brick & wood beams were inspiring (for my own house). Amazing & unusual drinks with a relaxed atmosphere. Would highly recommend - it is a Montreal must-see & experience.

Très beau speakeasy. L'entrée est un cachée ce qui est attendue pour un lieu de ce genre. Le bar semble avoir été aménagé dans un endroit qui semble avoir été un ancier réfrigérateur, ce qui ajoute à l'expérience. Le service est très courtois. La variété de drinks est complète & les prix abordable. Fais intéressant, on sort par une autre porte que l'arrivée ce qui fait qu'on est légèrement désorienté en arrivant au grand air!

Mixed bag - cocktails okay but not really inspiring. Venue cool but that's about it. Service mediocre.
