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.

My hotel was nearby and I kept seeing people gathered outside or walking in this place. Around 4:30…read moreone evening it was quiet, so I walked in to check out the food menu. You walk in and there's a clothing store on one side and black curtains straight ahead. I just stood there confused for a second until someone suddenly appeared and escorted me through the curtains, down a long dark hallway, and into this intimate, dimly lit bar. Turns out, I had accidentally stumbled into a speakeasy. The space is tiny--maybe 6-8 seats at the bar and a long banquet along the wall for 10-12 more people. No menus either. They ask what you like and don't like, then craft a cocktail specifically for you. The pours are generous and the bar is stocked with top-shelf liquor. About a drink and a half in, I realized I needed actual food immediately and had to leave. The staff was friendly, personable, and chatty, and because the space is so intimate, you naturally end up talking with the people around you. Definitely more of a solo or date-night spot than a group hang. Such a cool, unexpected experience.

There's 2 different sections: the food station is outside at the back side outdoors has lots of casse croute options: you get fries, poutine burgers and light snacks I believe it's the same owners of Patate & Persil .. check out my review from them they're super good too. At the bar section: theres famous cocktails sangria, bloody marry and lots of more drinks .. it is quite pricey not going to lie 2 drinks was around 31$ but it was very nice and tasty ... You can also bring your own drinks and food if you like they're just street vendors and don't own the establishment Overall, It's a beautiful place to gather around and totally worth checking it out. Cheers

Unfortunately, while the food here was excellent, the service experience didn't quite match the glowing reviews I had read beforehand. To start with the positives: the food was genuinely amazing. The dish my friend and I ordered was flavorful, well-prepared, and enjoyable from start to finish. The kitchen was also impressively fast, which I really appreciated. That said, the service felt overwhelming rather than welcoming. From the moment we arrived for our reservation, the host who escorted us to our table seemed uninterested and not very engaging. It wasn't rude, but it didn't feel particularly warm or inviting either. Another issue was the menu being entirely online through a QR code. The menu had many pages, and before we even had enough time to properly look through everything, multiple servers approached us several times asking if we were ready to order. What made it more confusing was that we didn't seem to have one dedicated server; different staff members kept coming to the table throughout the night. Even after we ordered and received our food quickly, servers continued checking on us very frequently; honestly, every few minutes. While I understand they were trying to provide attentive service, it became distracting and made it difficult to relax, enjoy the meal, and have a conversation with my friend. After being asked repeatedly if everything was okay, it started to feel less attentive and more rushed, almost as if we were being encouraged to finish up quickly. The restaurant itself was also quite dark, to the point where it was difficult at times to locate the bathroom or even find the exit comfortably. Overall, I truly loved the food and would compliment the kitchen without hesitation. However, the dining experience itself felt rushed and overly monitored, which took away from what could have been a much more enjoyable evening.

It's a pretty large restaurant and it also offers up a nice terrasse to make the most of the summer weather. Given how it's called Biere et Compagnie they should have a decent beer selection and that was indeed the case. The menu offered many different Quebec microbrews. If you don't like beer they also have other drinks to meet your needs. When it comes to food you can expect standard bar food. Mussels are supposed to be their specialty but not being a fan of them I went for a bison burger instead. It was well-seasoned and juicy and the portion was pretty big. That was followed by pouding chomeur. While I normally love this French Canadian dessert this one had way too much syrup on it to the point where the cake was swimming in it. It was overkill honestly. With regards to the service it could have been better. At times it was slow and some of the servers didn't seem to know the menu too well. We also had trouble getting our waitress' attention. Even the others couldn't be bothered to call her for us. As a whole it felt rather indifferent. Prices were what you would expect to pay. My bill was about $ 40 which was pretty reasonable. In all the experience was so so. If you're in that particular area of Terrebonne it is probably your best option because there didn't seem to be much else in the immediate vicinity but I probably wouldn't detour for it.

The reservations ended up being a good idea as the place was pretty full at 8:30 on a Friday. We were pleasantly surprised! The beer menu is extensive; pages and pages of imported beers grouped by country of origin....staggering for someone like me whose beer palate is limited to "I prefer white beer". Our waitress was great though, she asked what we usually drank and was quite knowledgeable. Her recommendation was delicious and I loved the attention to detail as each beer came out with its own logo glass and coaster (I'm a sucker for matchy-matchy!). I was even more surprised by the food menu (bison, caribou or ostrich burger anyone?) which had a lot of interesting choices. I had the bison burger - it was delicious! Well cooked, juicy and generous and served with fries and chips and a green salad. It definitely hit the spot! The place wasn't much in the way of décor but it wasn't a bad way to spend a Friday night!
