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.
L'endroit s'est révélé agréable : service attentionné, cocktails super bon bonne recommendations, mocktail très bof & aucune bière sans alcool. Le prix est dans le normal pour le Vieux …. J'ai trouvé le secret de la porte, mais je la laisserai aux prochains curieux.
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.
Beautiful little hidden gem, with old beautiful details. It's one of a kind cocktails experience, a must have. They ask you questions about our tastes, then they crate a mix for you. We loved every drink. I highly recommend
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
I'm visiting Montreal for the first time & had a fantastic experience at the Coldroom. The drinks were delicious, & most importantly, our server Lilie was excellent & made sure we had an enjoyable experience. Lilie had tailored cocktail recommendations for each of us & also provided helpful information about Montreal. I highly recommend getting a cocktail at the Coldroom, but make sure you ask for Lilie!
Press the doorbell & wait for someone to open! A hidden gem with a stylish, laid-back vibe, this speakeasy delivers a solid cocktail menu & an even better atmosphere. Drinks are good-well-balanced & creative without trying too hard. Great spot for a chill, low-key night out.
Luis was outstanding! He took the time to tell us about all the cocktails & delivered the most amazing drinks to us. It truly was an unforgettable experience.

One of our favorite speakeasies in Montreal. Secret entrance way (press the bell & wait patiently!), friendly servers, creative cocktail menu, & a very'cool' vibe - the perfect mix for a speakeasy!
Each drink is unique in its taste & presentation…it is always fun to try them all or just name your flavor note & the bartender can come up with a surprise.
Absolutely best combination of bar & speakeasy. I love how it gets crowded & loud. The bar has space for a lot of people. To find the door, the best experience for us was to take place jacques cartier & then go on st amable. The street is beautiful & we had fun exploring & looking around. The drinks are so smart with the duck characters & they are delicious! The drinks are reasonably priced considering average prices of cocktails. & I loved their olive plate. Overall, such a good find. Did not think I would ever like a bar in the old port so much.

Superbe speakeasy. Les cocktails sont très bons & l'ambiance est agréable. On peut laisser nos coordonnés à l'entrée & recevoir un texto pour être avisé qu'une place nous attend. C'est bien plus pratique que de devoir attendre en ligne. Pour y entrer, c'est une porte sans écriteau près des arches de fleurs avec une sonnette discrète.
Atmosphere: 7.5/10
Tucked away in Old Montreal, The Coldroom is a true speakeasy with an unmarked entrance & cellar-like vibe. The space feels like a wine cave meets cocktail den - casual & dim, with a long bar counter & multiple group seating areas. Music was slightly too loud, but still manageable for short conversations.
Drinks: 6/10
Recommendation: Sallerac
The menu is themed around a fictional 1970s Montreal rubber duck squat - playful, creative, & packed with personality. Each drink includes its flavor profile, ingredients, & glassware shape, making it easy to navigate. While the menu concept stands out, the drinks themselves fall a bit flat. Presentation is minimal, with no garnish, & the bar uses below-average glassware & no coasters.
Service: 8.5/10
Water was served on arrival. The team was friendly & attentive throughout. Prices are average for Montreal, with a balance between standard cocktails & more premium, exotic options that are fairly priced.
