we use them for our meet-ups & the attendees always have flying reviews. Great service & great staff
Amy
Great atmosphere, live jazz, friendly staff. Throw in delicious drinks & $1 oysters & can't beat it. Wish we had this place in Southern Maine!
Jerrmy
Great food. Great atmosphere. Great people. A little on the expensive side but well worth it. Remis was a great serve
Kim
Amazing service! Thank you Chris for your amazing explanation about Whiskey & Bourbon & all around.
10/10 experience, would recommend it as a gift for someone who loves whiskey or has no idea about whiskey!
🥃 Cheers

There was a good live jazz show but otherwise expensive food & not good service. Our reserved table was not ready when we got there. The chicken burger seemed from frozen chicken strip, & the side salad was dry. Their cocktails are ok.
Ps. I already explained what needs improvement in the review. There's no need for me to email you. Read it.
Lana
Excellent vibe, delicious drinks & the Sunday evening jazz performance was lovely.
Ensieh
The live jazz music created a wonderful atmosphere, & the seafood I ordered was fresh & delicious.

Première fois la bas pour moi, c'était wow! Notre serveuse etait super gentille, la bouffe vrm bonne, je recommande grandement le burger wagyu, je pense que c'est le meilleur burger que j'ai manger depuis un bon bout de temps! Les cocktails sont vrm bon & intéressant, définitivement different des autres places, très créatif au niveau des saveurs. Une place à revenir définitivement

This cocktail bar is fantastic. The cocktails are all made with fresh ingredients, syrups & juices made in house, & a very professional touch. The cocktails were so well balanced, with complex flavors & we both LOVED what we ordered!

I rarely write bad reviews but im writing this for the safety of consumers. I ordered oysters. I immediately noticed that they smelled sort of like a dirty bathroom. I'm from the coast of maine. I know oysters should not smell. Especially like that. I knew they were bad & sent them back. Politely I may add. & they STILL CHARGED ME for them. Plus, they need to learn how to better shuck an oyster as well. Then, my friends & I ordered a pour of cask strength whiskey. Being part of a whisky club & having tried many whiskies, that was not cask strength. & not only was it not cask strength, it tasted like a gold rum. We Politely asked to see the bottle that he poured from & he wouldn't show us. Then he reluctantly told us he did not pour the cask strength whiskey we ordered. So, naturally we asked the tender to pour us what we ordered, & he had the scruples to ask us if we were going to pay for both. Technically he had already committed theft & fraud. So, no we were not going to pay for something we did not order. It's one thing to just have a one off or a bad night at a restaurant/bar, but this was just unsafe, unacceptable, & bad for business as a consumer. Unfortunately this will not be a business I will tell others in the industry or in my community to visit. Although my friends see it as a funny story, I'd prefer to stay alive & know what im eating & or drinking at all times.

I came in on a Wednesday night vibes were immaculate, got surprised by a jazz band,! i was welcomed by the LOVELY Rita sat at the bar in front of Tyler, made fantabulous drinks hit all the the tongue palates then Paul makes amazing creations. Just to mention RITA one more time, she's hilarious.
Emma
Une très belle découverte pour nous, nous avons vraiment apprécié notre moment au Happy Hour.
Ashley
Came here for a girls night out, great vibes! The service was great & the servers were super attentive. The cocktails were mid but definitely still worth it for the vibes.

Le lieu est mignon, mais le service était terrible! Nous avons réservé pour 12 personnes pour un anniversaire. Notre serveur s'est présenté au groupe en nous disant que, comme ils ont une petite cuisine, il peut seulement prendre 8 commandes de plats en même temps…c'est la première fois que j'entends un serveur dire ça!!! &, au pire, dites le au moment de réserver pour qu'on planifie, ou ne servez pas de nourriture?
Comme nous étions affamés, évidemment que tous ont commandé à manger! À la 9e personne, le serveur a dit (je paraphrase mais je promets que c'était l'essence) « Ben là ça fonctionne pas, je vous ai dit que je peux seulement envoyer 8 commandes de plats! Vous êtes la 9e, il faudrait parler entre vous… »
En entendant ça, j'ai demandé au serveur d'annuler ma commande, en disant que j'irais manger ailleurs parce que j'ai vraiment faim. Il a refusé ma demande & m'a dit qu'il allait trouver une solution. Il est revenu quelques minutes plus tard pour annoncer à tout le groupe qu'il avait demandé à un autre employé de plancher d'aider en cuisine pour réussir à servir tout le monde (??!). Il avait l'air en mode gestion de crise, le pauvre. Parce que nous avons… commandé de la nourriture?
Enfin, près de 2 heures après notre arrivée, nos plats ont été servis. Dans mon cas, c'était un burger végétarien avec une galette commerciale sèche, des patates molles cuites au four sans goût, & une salade d'épinard sans vinaigrette avec du parmesan en poudre (??!). Hyper décevant.
Côté musique, j'avoue être biaisée parce que je n'aime pas les ambiances bruyantes. Il y avait une dj, & nous étions juste à côté du speaker. Certaines personnes aiment cette ambiance, mais je ne comprends pas pourquoi mettre de la musique rythmée hyper forte s'il n'y a pas de place pour danser.
Je ne recommande pas, malheureusement.

Drinks overpriced. Advertised as a jazz bar with live performances, there were no live performers nor jazz or blues music related to the theme of the bar. If you're willing to spend a lot on a night out, this is your place.. otherwise, there are options with better atmosphere, affordable food & drinks.
Alejandro
Awesome speakeasy bar!!! Highly recommend!!! Great service by Remi!!!!
Victoria
We had a great experience at Bootlegger! Remi was very knowledgeable about the drinks & super kind to us! We had fun & learned a bit about Whiskey in the process.
Carol
Great drinks, excellent live music & good food. The ambiance is warm & sophisticated.

We ate here on a recent trip to Montreal. My wife likes to keep busy & she knows I like jazz so we just took a shot on this place. The jazz trio was fantastic. Ask for Remi. He helped us with our drink orders all night & was very helpful & informative.
