About The Coldroom

The Coldroom is a hidden gem with a unique vibe, offering creative cocktails and a full bar. Located in Old Montreal, it is a true speakeasy with an unmarked entrance and a cellar-like atmosphere that feels like a wine cave meets cocktail den. The space is casual and dimly lit, with a long bar counter and multiple group seating areas. Friendly and attentive bartenders help guests choose suitable drinks, and service is fast. The menu is themed around a fictional 1970s Montreal rubber duck squat, packed with personality and featuring a large selection of cocktails, including a couple of non-alcoholic options priced from $13-15, with others starting at $17. Drinks are presented with flavor profiles, ingredients, and glassware details, making it easy to navigate. Some drinks may feel a bit flat, with minimal presentation and no garnishes. The atmosphere can be warm and stuffy, especially in the basement bar, and loud music may be a bit overwhelming for some, making communication difficult. Still, the great atmosphere, nice bartenders, and the chance to take a jelly candy from the bar make it a fun and memorable spot for cocktail lovers. This speakeasy-style bar is a must-visit for those seeking a unique experience, especially if they enjoy whiskey and creative drinks. The bartenders are skilled, and the drinks are well balanced and decorated. The cozy vibe, despite its cellar-like aesthetic, adds to its charm, and the bathrooms are pretty cool. Guests can enjoy a variety of cocktails, and the menu provides detailed descriptions for each drink. The experience is enhanced by the friendly staff and the fun atmosphere. Overall, The Coldroom offers a one-of-a-kind cocktail experience, with a story-rich setting and a menu that caters to different tastes. It’s a place where craft cocktails are made with care, and there’s a playful, inviting environment that makes every visit special.
