Review Summary

Bootlegger Cocktail Bar & Cuisine earns praise for its creative cocktails, an impressive whiskey selection, and a welcoming, knowledgeable staff that can turn a visit into a memorable experience; the venue combines a stylish speakeasy vibe with vintage decor, live jazz, and a focus on fresh ingredients and precise mixology, including oysters during happy hours. Across many reviews, the atmosphere and drinks are highlighted as consistently well balanced and thoughtfully crafted, while occasional notes of slower service, crowding, or higher prices appear, along with occasional menu quirks or dishes that miss the mark; overall the place is seen as unique and worth returning to for the drinks, the ambience, and the sense of discovery it provides.

Ok so as a top mtl guide I rarely these days find gems like this that really meet my expectation to this point. First off a big thank you to Remus for his amazing service & great drinks suggestions. Give that nice guy a free drink on the house for his good service. Secondly, the place was super cozy. The food was really hitting the spot for me, simple, but many flavors & with the drinks they were awesome. I will say most bars I've been to in mtl have very simple finger foods so to see a bar have a nice resto menu was really awesome! I am going to be back here many times, I really enjoyed it. I did a reservation the day of & it was quiet, so I was really happy, but other days there may be many people.

Atmosphere was amazing. We loved the music as well. Waiters we very nice as well.

We liked food as well. Barbecue souce in burger was so sweet though which can not be for everyone though.

Seul, ou accompagné le bootlegger nous offre une ambiance chic mais conviviale. La deco est vintage la sono est thematisé jazz on se croirais dans un bar de la prohibition en 1920. Cest magnifique

La cuisine font un excellent travail avec de belle recette & des plat pertinants.
Le bar est composé de mixologue expert & excellent dans ce quils font. Perso je laisse les barman choisir ce que je bois cest bien plus amusant que de commander du menu.

Ps: Le dimanche jazz cest une vrais therapy

Der beste Abend, den man sich vorstellen kann. Danke an alle hinter der Bar. Es war nicht nur schön, ich habe mich auch sicher und sehr aufgehoben gefühlt. Danke!

Malheureusement on a éte plutôt déçu. La déco du bar est très sympa & la cuisine est bonne mais la satisfaction client dépend aussi beaucoup du service & là c'était plus compliqué. On nous a dit qu'ils étaient en sous effectif mais un serveur en particulier a dû oublier les codes de la satisfaction client je crois ! Il ne voulait pas prendre nos commandes, c'est une autre serveuse qui nous les a prises & il n'était vraiment pas aimable... Dommage.
Au fait, bien vérifier les tickets de caisse avant de payer & notamment pour les verres en Happy hours.
Du coup on est allé au bar Darling après, qui n'est pas loin & c'était le jour & la nuit au niveau du service ! Donc malheureusement je conseillerais plutôt celui-ci pour passer une bonne soirée.

Très bon bar, je recommande. J'y suis déjà allé avec des collègues après le boulot & l'ambiance était vraiment top, parfait pour décompresser.

J'y suis retourné une autre fois pour un date & c'était tout aussi réussi. Endroit assez animé mais on peut quand même discuter tranquillement, donc idéal pour ce genre de soirée.

Les cocktails sont super bons & le service est rapide. Franchement rien à dire, que ce soit entre collègues ou pour un date, ça passe nickel 😉

Cela fait 1h10 qu'on est assis & on attend toujours notre serveur. On doit se rendre au bar pour demander à boire. Le thème prohibition devrait rester un thème & ne pas être appliqué aux tables.

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!
