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.
Such a great vibe. Music is the right volume where you can talk, bartenders are phenomenal at their craft, professional, & welcoming. It's hard to find, but well worth the search
We LOVE The Coldroom! We brought a group of our friends here on Saturday night (who do not live in Montreal) & they absolutely adored the space. The drinks are amazing, the ambiance is a vibe, & the staff are so kind, accommodating, & always ready to make a recommendation.
We can't wait to come back & enjoy some more cocktails!

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.
Went to Coldroom last night with my bf & we loved it. The drinks were amazing, the vibe was super cool, kind of underground & dimly lit. Our server Evelyn was really attentive & friendly. We will be back next time we're in Montreal!
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.

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.
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.

Classic speakeasy.
Reasonably priced drinks & amazing service.
Perfect vibe. Music wasn't too loud & you could carry a conversation even with it being about 50% full.
Drinks are subjective but their take on the old fashion was a chef's kiss
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!
The Coldroom is a must-visit hidden gem in Montréal! Tucked away behind an unassuming door, this speakeasy-style bar offers an unforgettable cocktail experience. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by a warm, intimate atmosphere & an incredibly knowledgeable staff. The cocktails here are nothing short of amazing! The menu offers a wide variety of creative & expertly crafted drinks that cater to every taste, whether you're into something fruity, strong, or completely unique. Each cocktail is made with precision & flair, making the experience even more special. What I love most is how they mix classic cocktails with innovative twists, & they're always ready to whip up something off the menu if you're feeling adventurous. The hidden location adds to the charm, making it feel like you've stumbled upon something truly special. If you're in Montréal, The Coldroom is an absolute must for anyone who loves great cocktails & a unique, secretive vibe!
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.
