Review Summary

The Coldroom is widely celebrated as an authentic speakeasy in Old Montreal, hidden behind an unmarked, mysterious door that rewards visitors with a unique and memorable experience. Guests consistently praise the impressive craftsmanship of the creative cocktail menu, noting that the bartenders are exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and often willing to craft bespoke drinks based on personal preferences. While the entrance can be challenging to locate and wait times can increase during busy weekend evenings, the atmospheric, dim, and cozy cellar setting provides a perfect backdrop for a night out. Although the food menu is limited, the high quality of the beverages and the warm, welcoming service from the dedicated staff make this a must-visit destination for those looking for a sophisticated and intimate bar experience.

It's a drink place, food is bare minimum.
But it's ok, not really going there for that.

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.

I was looking for the place but loved the way I figured it. A local gentleman asked us to wait at an exist door & press the buzzer & someone from coldroom came to receive us. Later we went two floors down & it was an amazing experience

The Coldroom is legit. Honestly it was a much better experience than Cloakroom Bar, where it felt overly pretentious without much to back it up.

Luis is absolutely amazing too. I sat alone at the bar & I still had a really great time.

I cant wait to be back again next time I'm in Montreal.
