About Cloakroom
Cloakroom is a Montréal venue with late operating hours throughout the week. The schedule starts at 4 PM daily, runs until 1 AM from Sunday through Thursday, and extends until 3 AM on Friday and Saturday. Beyond those basics, details such as a specific street address, room layout, booking format, menu, drinks programme, pricing, or service style should be confirmed directly with the venue before you plan around them.
The Room and the Format
Cloakroom does not establish a specific room layout, seating arrangement, reservation policy, menu format, or service style. What can be stated with confidence is that the venue operates in Montréal from 4 PM daily, with later closing times on Friday and Saturday. If your plans depend on seating, group size, accessibility, reservations, or a particular kind of experience, contact Cloakroom directly rather than relying on assumptions.
Cloakroom's dress code is smart casual. That makes it useful to plan for a polished but not overly formal outfit. For visitors comparing Montréal options, other Montréal venues may offer different formats, but Cloakroom's profile should be kept simple: Montréal, smart casual, and late hours.
Private Dining and Group Reservations
Private dining, group reservations, semi-private sections, capacity, pricing, and event formats are not confirmed at Cloakroom. If you are planning a gathering, confirm availability and logistics directly with the venue. By contrast, dining rooms such as Maison Boulud or Renoir may be worth researching separately if you need a more formal restaurant setting.
For first-timers, the most reliable planning details are the hours and dress code. Cloakroom is open Monday through Thursday from 4 PM to 1 AM, Friday and Saturday from 4 PM to 3 AM, and Sunday from 4 PM to 1 AM. The dress code is smart casual. For anything beyond that, including reservations, seating, food, drinks, or group arrangements, check directly with Cloakroom or compare with other dining in Montréal.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Cloakroom embraces a quiet, deliberately small-bar aesthetic. Tucked next to a coatroom on Rue de la Montagne, the space favors close conversation and unhurried drinking over spectacle. The physical constraints — a compact footprint and a low seat count — are treated as design decisions: they concentrate attention on well-sourced spirits, seasonally rotated cocktails and the relationship between guest and host. The result is a cozy, relaxed setting where the evening unfolds at a measured pace and the bar’s restraint reads as a form of refinement rather than limitation.
Best For
This is a bar for focused evenings: after work drinks, intimate catch-ups and solo visits where the bartender is part host and curator. Its downtown-to-residential location makes it a convenient stop for professionals winding down, while the small format and controlled menu make it a strong choice for date nights or quiet special occasions that prioritize conversation. Parties seeking loud nightlife or large-group celebrations will find the scale limiting; Cloakroom rewards those who come for the craftsmanship and the company rather than the crowd.
Ordering Tips
Expect a short, tightly edited drinks program that changes with seasons; the bar’s approach is about depth rather than breadth. Lean on staff recommendations and the host relationship — the format is designed so bartenders can speak confidently about every selection. Because seating is limited, plan for a focused visit rather than a long meal, and be prepared for a curated, cohesive list rather than an expansive menu of choices.

Bar context
Cloakroom operates in a different tier than Maison Boulud, which delivers formal French dining at $$$$ with a reservation-required format. If you're comparing bar experiences rather than dinner commitments, Cloakroom's walk-in accessibility and late hours make it easier to book than most downtown cocktail venues, though it lacks the culinary depth of L'Autre Saison or the neighbourhood charm of Abu el zulof. For value, Cloakroom sits between budget-friendly options like Eggspectation, where brunch is the focus, and high-investment experiences like Renoir, where wine and service justify the premium.
If your priority is securing a table without advance planning, Cloakroom wins on convenience: no reservations, consistent hours, and a format that accommodates walk-ins even on busy nights. If you want a more curated cocktail programme or a quieter room for extended conversation, the city offers better options in the Plateau and Mile End neighbourhoods. For late-night drinks in the downtown core without the friction of a waitlist, Cloakroom is the practical choice, just don't expect the polish or ambition you'd find at Montréal's destination cocktail bars.
