A duck, painted above an unmarked, handleless door, signals you’re in the right place. Ring the bell, wait for the bouncer, then slip down the stairs into a 19th-century warehouse-turned-intimate speakeasy. Order a house favourite inspired by Little Italy’s Salle Climatisée — the spirit-forward Sallerach, its lightly fruity, anise-tinged profile built on Courvoisier VS, Double Jus, rhubarb and Peychaud’s absinthe. Intrepid imbibers should order something in sync with their particular mood or taste.
Late bites
Open nightly until 1 a.m. Bar snacks include grilled cheese du jour plus rillettes and crostini.
Next
Stop for a drink at nearby Bisou Bisou and El Pequeño or head north on Saint-Laurent to Bar Bello — all three are sister bars.
Bon Anniversaire
This year marks The Coldroom’s 10th anniversary.
