Great cocktail bar. Not pretentious at all, just excellent cocktails & an absurd selection of whisky. My only complaint is the DJ does not fit the vibe at all.

Exquisite place. Their signature cocktails are daring, but there's something for everyone's taste. While they're known for their absinthe offerings, their selection of Scotch is outstanding. Ranging from'the great ones' to downright unique. The Bootlegger burger is attractively priced for the gourmet quality you're getting.

Un véritable bijou pour les amateurs de whisky & de cocktails. La sélection est impressionnante, avec des bouteilles rares & des créations parfaitement maîtrisées. Chaque cocktail est équilibré avec précision, on sent le souci du détail.

Mais ce qui fait vraiment la différence, c'est le service. Chris, le patron, est passionné, accueillant & connaît son métier sur le bout des doigts. Il prend le temps de conseiller, de partager ses découvertes & de créer une vraie expérience, pas juste un verre.

L'ambiance est élégante sans être prétentieuse - parfaite pour une soirée entre amis ou un moment plus posé. Clairement une adresse incontournable.
A true gem for whisky & cocktail lovers. The selection is outstanding, featuring rare bottles & expertly crafted drinks. Every cocktail is perfectly balanced - you can really feel the attention to detail.

What truly sets this place apart is the service. Chris, the owner, is passionate, welcoming, & incredibly knowledgeable. He takes the time to guide you, share his favorites, & turn your visit into a real experience.

The atmosphere is refined without being pretentious - perfect for a night out or a more relaxed evening. Definitely a must-visit spot.

Une superbe découverte au coeur de Montréal.

L'ambiance est remarquable, avec un véritable style speakeasy & une touche vintage élégante qui crée une atmosphère chaleureuse & intime dès l'entrée. On ressent immédiatement le souci du détail & le caractère unique du lieu.

Les huîtres étaient fraîches & parfaitement présentées sur glace, accompagnées de citron & de sauces. Une exécution simple mais maîtrisée, idéale pour les amateurs de fruits de mer.

La carte de cocktails est impressionnante, avec des créations raffinées & une excellente sélection de whiskys. Le niveau de mixologie est clairement au rendez-vous.

Le service est professionnel & attentionné, & l'ambiance générale donne envie de prolonger la soirée. Que ce soit pour un rendez-vous, une sortie entre amis ou simplement pour se détendre, c'est un endroit que je recommande fortement.

Merci Paul

Really good oysters & the cocktail selection is impressive. A bit pricey & the portions are a bit small but the seafood tastes so fresh & the dishes are really tasty. Wouldn't recommend for a date because it's kind of noisy. Service was great & bathrooms were really clean.

In town for 3 nights. Bootlegger was a choice for night #3 as we were on the hunt for an establishment with live music, some cocktails & food after shopping both Down town & more curated vintage shops on Saint Laurent. My expectations of Bootlegger after reading some reviews online & reading their bio was that I was going to have some great cocktails, Oysters & some snack type food. Everything on that realm was great, Service was great. The only short fall from our opinion for what's it worth. Is the interior finishings was budget, I was anticipating a much more lavish swanky interior with more premium finishings & materials used. Not the 5/8's stained plywood found on a house under construction on most carpentry & fence deck board partition wall. The finishings seem to be consistent through out. If you are planning to empress with some swank while on a date or business function I would consider somewhere else. Booze selection was expanse + fantastic & cocktail presentation was decent but, you can find a better elevated product at other establishments. Montreal brings tough competition in the culinary world of things with lots of options.

We were visiting Montreal for the first time & my wife discovered Bootleggers through her online prowess. Being a bourbon lover I was all in. This place does not disappoint! The selection is beyond amazing. Possibly one of the best I have ever experienced & the craft cocktails are outstanding to boot The staff could not have been more welcoming (Tony was a star - I explained what I liked in bourbon & scotch & he conjured up a custom flight that was spot on), the food was great (hard to beat $1CN oysters) in addition we ordered the cheese plate & the salmon tartare. The vibe is straight up awesome. Not too loud but quite lively. The host (I can't recall I his name but he is from France) was a really nice guy as well. We went back the next night for a quick round before continuing our exploration of Montreal. DO NOT SKIP BOOTLEGGERS IF YOU ARE A WHISKY LOVER OR A FAN OF THE SPEAKEASY VIBE'
