Review Summary

The Coldroom is described as a hidden speakeasy in Old Montreal, with an unmarked entrance and a cellarlike interior of brick walls and wood and leather that creates an intimate, moody setting. Reviews praise the cocktails for creativity and precision, listing favorites such as Death Mark, Rice to Meet You, Internal Affairs, and Joe Peachi, with many noting that the drinks are the main draw and worth the admission price. Atmosphere ranges from cozy and romantic for dates to lively and social for groups, with a vibe described as underground and intimate, though music can be loud at times. Service is frequently described as friendly and attentive, but some visits report slower pacing during busy hours or a staff member who seemed less helpful; the menu is small and snacks are light. Getting in often involves ringing a discreet doorbell and waiting, and the entrance can be a challenge to locate, especially on weekends when crowds form, yet most reviewers call it a must see and a memorable part of Montreal's cocktail scene, with prices that are reasonable for the quality.

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!

We've been at the Coldroom several times & it does not disappoint. Really exciting location & amazing cocktails. Only downside is that wait time can stack up easily on weekends.

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.

Speakeasy dans le Vieux Montréal. Ambiance très cozy... génial pour une date mais aussi très agréable avec des amis. Belle variété de cocktails originaux. Trouver cet endroit vaux le détour...

Came as a recommendation from the chefs at Le Mousso & we weren't let down. Fantastic atmosphere, great drinks, & Jackson behind the bar was super friendly & personable. Do everything you can to keep him there; first-rate bartender.

Est-ce qu'on va au Cold room pour l'émotion que donne l'entrée clandestine, pour le décor chaleureux dans les teintes de bois & de cuir, pour la qualité des produits qu'on y sert ou pour son équipe & ses propriétaires féminines ?

Toutes ces réponses !
Le Cold room: pour un bon verre seule ou avec une amie, pour un cocktail en couple, c'est un incontournable coin St-Amable & St-Vincent (sonner à la porte noire marquée Sortie).
Petit bémol: la musique est parfois trop forte pour soutenir des conversations d'un côté à l'autre de la table. Assoyez-vous côte à côte pour profiter du décor & pouvoir avoir l'oreille de votre interlocuteur à portée de voix.

Great cocktails & unique setting.
Note: very low light & staircase to enter & leave. Not great if you have mobility issues.

Fun experience. Just ring the doorbell outside & someone will come guide you downstairs. They don't have much in the way of food so we didn't bother eating but the drinks were great, they are a little pricy but it's a great experience so it was worth it. It's not a very big place so it would likely be hard to get into on a busy night but we had no trouble getting in & seated right away.

This was amazing. A true speakeasy experience. Going from the hustle & bustle of the overhead street to a chill cocktail lounge was so refreshing! The cocktails were creative recipes, names, & themes. The server was awesome in helping us choose what we wanted. I'm not in Mo freak often, but when I am, you can find me here!
