The Coldroom fonctionne comme un établissement de type speakeasy mettant l'accent sur des cocktails artisanaux de haute qualité et une sélection spécialisée de plats à partager. Le lieu utilise une esthétique industrielle et tamisée pour favoriser un environnement axé sur la discussion et l'appréciation des boissons. La clientèle choisit parmi une rotation de créations de mixologie saisonnières qui équilibrent des profils aromatiques complexes avec une précision technique rigoureuse. L'axe culinaire repose sur des tapas, privilégiant des assiettes de petit format conçues pour une consommation décontractée dans un cadre partagé. Des murs de briques apparentes et un éclairage feutré définissent l'architecture intérieure, créant une séparation distincte avec l'extérieur urbain environnant. Chaque aspect de l'opération souligne un engagement envers les techniques classiques de barman et une approche raffinée de la consommation sociale. Cet espace constitue une destination privilégiée pour ceux qui recherchent une expérience sociale définie par une préparation minutieuse des boissons.
The Coldroom propose une expérience de bar clandestin mémorable et authentique au cœur du Vieux Montréal, marquée par son entrée mystérieuse et son ambiance intime et chaleureuse. Les visiteurs apprécient particulièrement la créativité et la qualité exceptionnelle des cocktails, souvent décrits comme magnifiquement présentés et riches en saveurs uniques. L'équipe compétente et accueillante joue un rôle essentiel dans la réputation positive de l'établissement, prodiguant régulièrement des recommandations personnalisées pour garantir une expérience agréable aux couples comme aux petits groupes. Bien que le lieu soit très prisé et puisse s'avérer fréquenté, la qualité du service demeure un point fort pour beaucoup, faisant de cet endroit une destination incontournable pour savourer des cocktails raffinés dans un cadre élégant et empreint d'histoire.
Would have loved to leave a full review on everything from drinks to ambiance, but unfortunately were stopped at the door. After ringing the bell, we were told they were on a wait. We put our name on the waitlist & gave the hostess our contact information, & when pressed for a timeframe, we were told'it's hard to say,' which was frustrating, especially knowing that the industry standard is to always give a time range even something as absurd as anywhere from 15 minutes to over an hour. We waited with increasing frustration as party after party were allowed entrance while we were overlooked. I rationalized that some of these people were already on the waitlist ahead of us & must have received a call or text that their seats were available, however there were others let in that clearly didnt know where the doorbell was as it was their first time visiting. After waiting for over 45 minutes, we left the area. During our wait, the hostess saw us sitting there several times but didnt give us any updates, & was seen darting in & out of the side entrance as she left her station & had to rush back to answer the doorbell which took away from the mystery of the speakeasy. Even after we left, we received no updates, not even to let us know that they would not be able to accomodate us before the bar closed. This has lead me to believe one of four conclusions: 1) the hostess is incompetent 2) bar's standards of hospitality are below that of the industry standard 3) we were dressed inappropriately for the venue, in which case we should have been informed of the dress code (although there were others allowed entry who were dressed as casually as we were) 4) we were discriminated against by, nationality, ethnicity, or sexuality (in which case management needs to adress these issues with their staff).
The Coldroom was such a fun & memorable speakeasy experience in Montréal. The hidden entrance, intimate atmosphere, & stylish décor made the place feel special from the moment we walked in. The cocktails were creative, beautifully presented, & expertly made, with plenty of unique flavors beyond the usual bar menu.
The bartenders & staff were friendly, knowledgeable, & made the experience even more enjoyable. It's a great place for a relaxed evening, a date night, or drinks with friends while exploring Old Montréal. Definitely worth visiting for the atmosphere & inventive cocktails!

A very cool hidden speakeasy that's definitely worth checking out if you're in Montreal. We visited as part of a Friday night bar hop & only had to wait around 15 minutes to get in, which wasn't bad considering how popular it is.
Finding the entrance is part of the fun, & the separate exit adds to the mystery. Once inside, the dark, intimate atmosphere makes it a great spot for a quiet drink, a date night, or a catch up with friends.
The cocktails were excellent & well crafted, & there are a few nibbles available if you're feeling hungry. Prices were also very reasonable for the quality.
I'd recommend it for couples or smaller groups of up to four or five people, as the cosy setting suits a more intimate experience. Definitely one of the more unique bars we visited in Montreal.
Wow! What a disappointment. Our tour guide recommended this place & we were excited to go & experience this hidden speakeasy. Waitress took forever to take our drink order & there was only four other people in the bar! Waited another ten minutes & the angry looking bartender was busy smoozing up to the only other couple sitting at the bar. Drinks are approximately 25 dollars a pop just an fyi & you would expect service to be top notch! Would skip this poorly run basement rip off!
It was our first day in Montreal & we decided to visit this hidden speakeasy. We loved the experience from the very first moment. The place has an incredible atmosphere, with warm lighting & a very special vibe that makes it perfect for having a drink & enjoying things at a relaxed pace.
The snack we ordered was much better than we expected, & the drinks were very well crafted, both in flavor & presentation.
Without a doubt, it was an excellent way to start our trip in Montreal.
A truly hidden gem to find in old town Montreal. Behind a hidden unmarked door is a fab cocktail bar speakeasy style. Ring the bell & wait to be collected & you will discover a hidden cocktail bar with a hidden exit too. Defo worth a visit & a memorable place to go. Great to meet another brit working there, thanks for the travel tips Jake.
Highly recommend going here. We are here for the weekend. It was a little hard to find at first hence speakeasy but overall great drinks, great service, & an awesome atmosphere.
We went right at opening & got a table right away as we were the first ones there but it filled up very quickly, which speaks to its popularity! It has a nice atmosphere with speakeasy vibes as the bar is in the basement. The drinks were good but very strong. The menu also had fun characters with drink vibes which added to the experience. The entrance was it a bit confusing though as we thought the exit door which faces the street (Rue St. Paul) was the entrance.
