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.

We've been at the Coldroom several times & it does not disappoint. Really exciting location & amazing cocktails. Only downside is that wait time can stack up easily on weekends.

I've visited this place twice already. The first time was with my boyfriend-we sat at the bar & had an amazing time. The second time, I went with my family, & they loved the cocktails. The service wasn't as good during our second visit, as I had to get up & ask for water for the table, but I understand-it was very busy.
This is truly a speakeasy. The entrance looks like a regular exit door: no name, just a ring, which I found fun, since the whole point of a speakeasy is that it's hard to find. Once they open the door, you go down the stairs & enter the bar through another door that almost looks like a cold-room door.
The place is simple, with brick walls, but they serve some of the most amazing cocktails I've tried in Montreal. The menu is adorable, with duck illustrations & well-detailed descriptions. My favorite drinks were Death Mark, Rice to Meet You, Internal Affairs, & Joe Peachi.
I'll definitely come back on my next trip to Montreal.

Speakeasy dans le Vieux Montréal. Ambiance très cozy... génial pour une date mais aussi très agréable avec des amis. Belle variété de cocktails originaux. Trouver cet endroit vaux le détour...

Came as a recommendation from the chefs at Le Mousso & we weren't let down. Fantastic atmosphere, great drinks, & Jackson behind the bar was super friendly & personable. Do everything you can to keep him there; first-rate bartender.
