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.
Good drinks & a fun atmosphere. Dim lighting, intimate setting. The menu was adorable! I really enjoyed the back story of each drink. The'play the field' was my favorite drink. Attentive service.
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.
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.

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.
