Est-ce qu'on va au Cold room pour l'émotion que donne l'entrée clandestine, pour le décor chaleureux dans les teintes de bois & de cuir, pour la qualité des produits qu'on y sert ou pour son équipe & ses propriétaires féminines ?

Toutes ces réponses !
Le Cold room: pour un bon verre seule ou avec une amie, pour un cocktail en couple, c'est un incontournable coin St-Amable & St-Vincent (sonner à la porte noire marquée Sortie).
Petit bémol: la musique est parfois trop forte pour soutenir des conversations d'un côté à l'autre de la table. Assoyez-vous côte à côte pour profiter du décor & pouvoir avoir l'oreille de votre interlocuteur à portée de voix.

Great cocktails & unique setting.
Note: very low light & staircase to enter & leave. Not great if you have mobility issues.

Fun experience. Just ring the doorbell outside & someone will come guide you downstairs. They don't have much in the way of food so we didn't bother eating but the drinks were great, they are a little pricy but it's a great experience so it was worth it. It's not a very big place so it would likely be hard to get into on a busy night but we had no trouble getting in & seated right away.

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!
