Ces commentaires présentent The Coldroom comme un speakeasy caché du Vieux-Montréal, avec une porte discrète et une ambiance chaleureuse et intime. Le programme de cocktails est la pièce maîtresse, reconnu pour des cocktails créatifs et équilibrés, et une large sélection de whiskies, tandis que le service est souvent qualifié d'attentif et sympathique; les temps d'attente peuvent être plus longs les soirs de weekend et le petit menu de nourriture est secondaire par rapport aux boissons. Dans l'ensemble, il est considéré comme une adresse à ne pas manquer pour les amateurs de cocktails, offrant une atmosphère unique, une énergie distinctive et des cocktails de haute qualité, à un prix que certains estiment élevé mais justifié par l'expérience.
If you haven't found The Coldroom yet - follow the duck. Ring the bell, head downstairs, & prepare to be impressed. Hidden in a converted cold storage warehouse in Old Montreal, this place has incredible vibes, seriously great cocktails, & some of the most knowledgeable & welcoming bartenders in the city. The kind of bar you bring every out-of-town guest to just to see their reaction. An absolute gem.
Can't really judge the food, but the concept of this bar is quite interesting, they have funny drinks related to ducks. The drinks are good, not my favorite but still good quality.

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.
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.
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.
Keep your eyes open for the duck above the door outside, ring the door bell & you're suddenly transported to a prohibition era speakeasy. The cocktail list & whiskey selection are intricate & well crafted. Whether at the bar counter or at a table, the service is always fantastic & we always have a good time with the staff.
There is usually a wait list especially on weekends but that's to be expected. It also gets pretty warm down in the basement during the summer which could be uncomfortable for some.
Make sure to try the severely underated grilled cheese with bourbon butter!
Overall this is my favourite bar to recommend to friends & tourists. It's one of the best bars in Montreal, you won't be disappointed!

Super cool space, service was okay (kind of "too cool or busy for you" vibes if I'm honest - not my favorite). Had a drink I loved & a drink I hated - hit & miss. Love the ducks!
A unique experience at The Cold Room! As a true speakeasy, finding it was quite a challenge, which adds to its charm. The key is to look for a black door with an emergency exit sign featuring a rubber duck. Ring the bell & wait... it's worth it! The cocktails were well-crafted, but what really impressed me was the extensive selection of whiskeys, especially Canadian ones. The place was spotless, very professional service, & although the prices are on the higher side, the quality makes up for it. Definitely a spot to return to!
This is one bar I love. You have to look for the plain black door with a doorbell. Once inside you are escorted down a flight of stairs & into the bar. Atmosphere was perfect with the right balance of music. Everyone there is very friendly. Don't forget to bring your duck.
2024: friendly efficient service on a Tuesday. Drinks were great, I had the Money Talks & Rice to Meet You which were balanced & strong. Love the cute duck menu but not sure where they're going with the uninspired decor. Music wasn't memorable either. 2019: Great service & decent drinks but was a bit disappointed considering the amazing Christmas pop-up bar was created by the same people. Despite being a speakeasy, it didn't really have any sort of classy loungey vibe like all the others, & felt more like a pub atmosphere.

LOVED the vibe & the secretive nature of this place! If you're looking for the duck, you won't see it unless it's dark outside, so look for the button (pictured). I really enjoyed my drink & the ambience, & the service was fairly pleasant, but there was a tiny bit of a weird smell that was a little off-putting. I would definitely recommend & return.
