You want to be brought in and it's dark and moody with the BEST craft cocktail list. The theme is duck - which is so fun. Our bartender was OUTSTANDING. He gave not only the best drink recommendations, but also gave us a hand written list of his favorite spots in MTL (drinks, dining, activities, etc). I wish we would've gotten his name because I cannot praise him enough!

The Coldroom is a fantastic bar and definitely worth visiting. We actually ended up going twice…read moreduring our trip, and each visit was a little different. The first time, the music was extremely loud, and it seemed like they were short-staffed. The bar was completely packed, and there was only one bartender making drinks, so the wait was a bit longer than expected. We decided to give it another try, and I'm so glad we did. The second visit was amazing! The bartender working that night was incredible--she clearly knows her craft and made our drinks quickly without sacrificing quality. Every cocktail was delicious, and the overall experience was much more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend The Coldroom. My only suggestion would be that, with a space that busy, the bar could really benefit from having an additional bartender during peak hours. It would help keep wait times down and make an already great experience even better.

The weather was beautiful for a bit but then turned a complete 180. Huge rainstorm so we had to run inside to keep dry. The menu is small and generic; appetizers, burgers, house plates, salads and desserts. They had a few daily specials. Tuesday tequila and tacos ($3.00) sounds like a fun night. - Berry breeze sangria ($29.00 pitcher) - raspberry vodka, strawberry nectar, grapefruit, cranberry, orange, berries & lemon and red wine. Honestly, I've never been impressed with any sangria's I've had when going out. This was okay but way too icy. A fun place to people watch outside and grab a drink.

I was able to dine at a restaurant prior to the show. The bar didn't have food service. I will definitely go back when I revisit Montreal. I felt safe.

I was recently on Monkland with my kids and they were starving (you'd think they were small…read morechildren, the way they get so hangry and yet never have snacks or a protein bar on them. But NO, they are both adults. lol). We had to go for lunch IMMEDIATELY. And our go-to place Pigeon, was totally full. I asked the hostess/manager of Pigeon what other place nearby she'd recommend, and she mentioned Local75 right away. So off we went. It was a humid day so we opted to sit on the enclosed patio, as the restaurant itself was aggressively air conditioned (for me, anyhow), plus it was dimly lit inside (probably great for the evenings, but didn't feel right on a sunny summer day at noon). We were seated right away and our server couldn't have been nicer. The menu was perfect for lunch: there were a lot of salad and sandwich choices, lots of burgers and chicken wing choices, and more. We chose two BLT's and a plate of 6 chicken wings with sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious. I love how my Diet Coke came in a frosted Mason jar, and I love how the server gave us each a wrapped moistened towelette for our hands (a rarity nowadays - but so needed when eating chicken wings!). One issue of note: the server, who was lovely, was the only server working while we were there. I'm unsure how many people were in the kitchen, too, as it took quite a long time for our food to come out. We had a great lunch here and would definitely return.
