Les avis sur The Coldroom convergent vers une expérience de speakeasy caché et chaleureux, avec une entrée discrète et un décor en briques et en bois qui crée une atmosphère intimiste et underground; les cocktails obtiennent des éloges pour leur créativité, leur équilibre et leur variété, certains menus thématiques conférant une touche ludique et des boissons signature comme Death Mark ou Rice to Meet You; le service est souvent décrit comme attentif et compétent, mais certaines expériences signalent un service inégal ou des temps d'attente importants, surtout les soirs de week-end; l'emplacement dans le Vieux-Montreal et l'ambiance sombre et cosy séduisent et donnent envie d'y revenir, en particulier pour les amateurs de cocktails avertis; il faut toutefois noter une offre alimentaire limitée et des prix parfois jugés élevés, ce qui n'empêche pas que The Coldroom reste une destination prisée pour une soirée raffinée et originale, malgré quelques bémols.
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.

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.
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.
The Coldroom, c'est l'endroit où l'élégance se mêle à la discrétion. Si tu veux vivre une soirée hors du commun, loin des bars touristiques, dans un cadre chargé d'histoire avec des cocktails vraiment bien pensés - c'est un incontournable. Je le recommande chaudement pour une sortie raffinée & intimiste.

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.
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!
Highly recommended. If you go Mon-Thu, it will be less busy. Drinks from menu are great! The bar tenders are highly attentive to detail & service. The only reason for they are not getting 5 starts from me (someone extremely picky when it comes to the hospitality industry), I ordered a gin & tonic after ordering some of their amazing drinks from the menu, & the g&t wasn't what I had hopped for.
FYI, best g&t I have ever had are served in the Basque Country.
Really cool speakeasy craft cocktail bar with very skilled bartenders. It can be a little hard to find, but all you do is ring a doorbell & wait for staff to come & add you to a waitlist. In the meantime there is a pre-bar to the main bar next to the entrance.
I got the Smoking Gun, Joe Peachi, & then an Espresso Martini. & my sister & I both got their long sleeve T-shirts. They're all balanced & decorated well. The menu also has descriptions for each drink. & they have some non-alcoholic mocktails too!
It's got a very cozy vibe despite the juxtaposition of a boiler room/cellar aesthetic, & the bathrooms are pretty cool!
Also, I pulled Narita Brian in Uma Musume during her banner event with one roll, so you know this is a lucky spot! Definitely coming back next time I'm in Montreal & gets a big recommendation for all my Mixology friends.

Quite enjoyed this place. Didn't take long to get in (weekday early evening), loved the service & selection (drinks at the bar). Not too loud, not too bright, not too expensive. Good stuff.
Pretentious is an understatement. Staff is rude & too used to shitting on tourists as a form of being hip. Drinks were average & overpriced. Bar Big In Japan & even a nice restaurant like Mon Lapain which is more wine focused put this place to shame in cocktails for 30% less cost. Solid MEH
L'ambiance très cozy très chaleureuse. Les barmans: des sportifs-artistes minutieux qui creesnt des cocktails savoureux, pensés dans une chorégraphie admirable. Un plaisir de les regarder ajouter des petites gouttes de saveur, des fleurs à la pince, des spray d'arômes avec la précision de chirurgiens. Les meilleurs cocktails que j'ai eu l'occasion de goûter. Une adresse de moins en moins secrète mais au combien exceptionnelle
First things first, press this doorbell for the bartender to come let you in (see picture). We absolutely loved this hidden gem. Bartenders were super nice & experienced. I asked them to make a gin based drink that was a bit fruity & mildly sweet & they delivered! We did the same thing when we asked for a shot so don't be afraid to ask the bartender to surprise you with an original creation.
