We should have recorded it. Other patrons were laughing so hard and amazed by our improvisation. I really appreciate the care and diligence the staff put into making sure I was safe in Montreal especially since I was a solo female traveler. Parking was easier than other Montreal areas. 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.

The attention to detail is truly cristalizing. We couldnt help but stare and evrything for the first 15 minutes upon entering.

Discovered last year Cobra has now turned into an usual spot for a drink after hanging in Little Italy. I'm stubborn and continue to order Bloody Caesars although they recently have brought a major disappointment. The cocktail is consistent, but when I had it for the first time last year there was a beef jerky in it. This summer for whatever reason the jerky is gone from the cocktail, it is still supposed to be there according to the menu, but nowhere to be found in my drink. This is why a star is removed, sorry, I'm picky about the Caesars. Cobra is definitely kind of hip place to be looking at the crowd gathering there on Friday night. I really enjoy the 80s memorabilia, the movies shown on an old TV using VHS system, the list of drinks has been now transferred into a VHS boxes, funny, but difficult to read. The music choices have been always awesome. The service may be spotty. Even on an evening when sitting on the little patio and there were only few customers we had to wave persistently to get another drink or just the check. Drink wise Cobra delivers, they will surprise you with local beers that you would need to search hard for in Montreal as the the amazing Milkshake IPA of Jukebox or the old fashioned Laurentide of Molsson. Conclusion I would continue coming here, but please bring the jerky back in my Bloody Cobra if you want another star.

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.

Most of the comedians are up and coming or starting to perform for their first few times. As for the actual bar, it could use some updating. It did not feel so clean inside and was quite dark upon entry of the venue. Not sure why this was, as when I arrived, they were getting ready for the stand up comedy show. If they focused on cleaning this place up and making it more appealing, then I would probably add another star to the review.

Booze is normal price at $6 for mixed drinks. Everyone is easy going and the music is pretty good and loud (rock, punk, psychobilly,etc). The selection depends on whose the bartender that night since there is no juke box. The only thing significant I noticed is it doesnt pickup till about 10PM till 1030 PM. If you show up before that dont be surprise if it seems dead. But come the "magic" hour the place will fill up in like 10-15 minutes. Pretty impressive.
