Gourmet cocktails in a hidden speakeasy with exposed brick
"Follow the duck to this Old Montreal speakeasy, where an illuminated duck is the only signage hinting to the location of the doorbell that lets customers into this establishment. Once inside, saddle up at the bar for well-made cocktails with a menu that changes seasonally. Be warned: it can get very busy, but the person working the door will take your number and text you when a table’s available." - JP Karwacki
"Cold Room might be in Old Montreal, but minimal signage and an inconspicuous doorbell mean it’s often hidden from tourists. The drinks are exceptionally creative —the current menu contains a list of cocktails named after famous landmarks, neighbourhoods and parks around Montreal, all chosen by the staff. In case there’s a line, check out adjacent 9-seater establishment El Pequeño for Cuban cocktails in an itty bitty space." - Daniel Bromberg

"I note Coldroom is cited as one of the popular Old Montreal bars where Bière Froide co-owners Kevin Demers and Sam Kirk previously worked." - Valerie Silva
"Owned by Kevin Demers, I saw him retweet the OQLF's post with a middle finger emoji and the question, “How do you translate that?”, a reaction that has become a sort of rallying cry among Montreal restaurant and bar owners expressing dissent toward the provincial government's lack of support throughout the second wave of closures." - Valerie Silva
