Guests describe The Grotto Speakeasy as a stylish, immersive experience with a password entry, a hidden door, and a moody intimate vibe. The atmosphere features neon lighting, cozy seating, foggy or smoky ambiance, and small table games, creating a memorable speakeasy feel. Cocktails are frequently praised for quality and originality, served in beautiful glassware, with some standout options recommended, while a few find the pricing steep. The food is noted as fresh and flavorful, with several dishes highlighted as well prepared, though opinions on overall value vary. Service is commonly described as professional and attentive, with staff on top of things and a warm welcome. Some reviews mention the live music, which can be a bit loud and hinder casual conversation. Entry and reservations are mixed in people's experiences: the venue reportedly does not take reservations, and the Instagram password/entry process is described as marketing-driven and less welcoming to first-time visitors. Overall, The Grotto Speakeasy leaves a strong impression for ambiance and cocktails, though some guests feel the experience could be improved by toning down entrance logistics and price concerns.

Une expérience rafraîchissante à Montréal où l'on peut manger & boire toute la nuit. Des dj chaque soir, un style house mais sans pour autant ne pas pouvoir discuter Je recommande le carpaccio de boeuf accompagné du cocktail le "three dons"

The service is immaculate! Love that is really hidden & you have to find the entrance to get into the speakeasy.

Stepping into this victorian speakeasy in old port montreal has been nothing but amazing. From service , to atmosphere i've been immensely satisfied. Every detail whispers elegance, from the rich decor to the vintage-inspired cocktails. The intimate setting & music created an enchanting escape, making it a must-visit in the heart of the old port. Thanks to you all for the amazing service. Cheers 🥂

The concept is absolutely amazing. They have created a genuine vibe. It has become a buzzworthy spot so patience is required because it packs up quick & early. The wait was pretty reasonable & we to wait indoors.

Honestly what an amazing new speakeasy. Found this place of TikTok & instantly fell in love with the place. Would definitely recommend showing up early as it gets filled up quick. The drinks & late night menu is amazing! I recommend everyone tries this place!!!

Quelle incroyable expérience! Toute nouvelle place trendy dans le vieux port! Une expérience immersive dans l'art de la mixologie & parfaite pour un date en amoureux! On a été pris en charge du début jusqu'à la fin au plus petit soin ! Personnel super serviable & attentionné, cocktails exquis & nourriture servie jusqu'au petites heures! On a passé une super moment ! Merci encore au staff ! On revient très bientôt !
