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.

The interior was really fancy - so if for nothing else, you'll get a great photo from visiting this place. The bartender was friendly, but we didn't like any of the cocktails he recommended. Maybe we weren't very good at describing our flavor preferences. The service overall was great, and we even got some free shots for willing to switch seats for other customers. After visited few other speakeasies in Montreal and Quebec City, I can conclude that this was our least favorite stop.

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.

Not sure how it's so highly rated on google maps reviews. Is it a racist thing going on here? Our glasses have been empty for quite some time now but he's not even looking over at us and impossible to disengage him from whatever heated conversation he's having w his friend. Friend had the cocktail #2 and I had the mojito. For the price, those drinks were poorly made. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else!

YES TO EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE…read more You walk in and are immediately immersed in a forest like ambiance. Hanging plants and funky music draw you into the main bar area as you're greeted by the server. Jess was energetic, attentive, & super knowledgeable. She made awesome recommendations and gave us some of the best service we have received in Montreal! We started with the Burrata & Prosciutto which came with some legitimately delicious fresh baked bread that was similar to naan. A lighter portion but enough for 5 of us to pick at. We followed with some pizza - the Mush Pit 2.0, Salsiccia di Vitello, & the Bianca Royale (which Jess recommended). Each pizza had 6 slices and the crust was on the thinner side. Each one would get 10 stars across the board, seriously. Two of us shared the Caribbean Queen which was a rum based cocktail that came with a little ~ razzle dazzle ~! Seriously one of the best meals & some of the best service we experienced during our week long trip. Food and drinks came quickly and there was plenty of seating. THANK U JESS!!

They also have a lovely outdoor patio with cozy lighting and greenery making it a great spot to relax and enjoy good conversation. There was no wait when we arrived, and the entire experience was seamless. If you're looking for a place to enjoy wine, catch up with friends, Wolf & Workman is worth a visit.

Awesome taking to him about the concept and their ideas for the restaurant. Love everything they are about and am proud of what they are doing to get Filipino food out there. Restaurant had a very homey and welcoming vibe when you came in. Came with the fam so we were able to order a bunch of dishes to share. Unfortunately we were on the brunch menu only because they were getting ready for holiday closure and menu change and sadly I don't have the names of each dish but just going to say they were all delicious and full of flavor. Was a mix of traditional Filipino flavors they learned while traveling to the Philippines with a twist of new flavors they added. Overall this is a must try for anyone looking for yummy Filipino flavors and/or looking to try something new I highly recommend it. Salamat Jun Jun!!!

The piano player as handsome as he was lovely and the shorts with bowtie told us he meant business! If you have a moment, try this restaurant. It is a stunner!
