Had such a great night at Bootlegger. The vibe is exactly what you want from a speakeasy, low lighting, great music, & just an overall cool atmosphere without trying too hard.
Big shoutout to our server Remus, who honestly made the whole experience. He wasn't just taking orders, he took the time to explain the drinks, share some of the history behind them, & help us pick things we'd actually enjoy. You can tell he really knows his stuff & cares about what he's doing, which made a huge difference.
Everything from the cocktails to the ambiance was on point. Definitely one of the best spots I've been to in Montreal lately. Would 100% go back.
An exceptional & truly authentic experience at Bootlegger Dining Experience with Remus. From start to finish, everything was outstanding- easily a 10 out of 10. The cocktails were exceptional, & the entire evening felt beautifully curated & deeply immersive.
What truly set this experience apart was the service. Remus struck the perfect balance- attentive without ever being intrusive. Our wine & cocktails were always perfectly timed, & he took the time to thoughtfully explain each dish, adding depth to the experience.
We couldn't have asked for a better evening. It exceeded every expectation.
Nous avons étés stupéfaits ce mardi 22/04 par le service, l'ambiance, le menu & la qualité des cocktails qui nous ont étés proposés. Un grand merci a remus qui a su répondre a nos questions & nous proposer des boissons personnalisées & adaptées a nos envies du moment.
L'ambiance est super chouette, la musique live & le niveau sonore sont parfait. Nous avons aussi beaucoup apprécié l'attention & le soin porté aux petits détails (Verres, Vaisselle, serviettes.)
En l'occasion de deux anniversaires nous avons choisi notre grand classique & original: Le Bootlegger. L'équipe est merveilleuse: professionnelle, sympathique & dynamique! Même si la musique était un peu forte, le service & excellent. Vincent, la personne qui nous a accompagné du début à la fin, a su satisfaire notre curiosité & faire passer une belle soirée. Merci à toute l'équipe !!
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.
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.
Had a fantastic time at bootlegger on a friday night! Easy to get a reservation, music was great, drinks were delicious, & the pulled pork nachos were the best nachos we've ever had! Would definitely come back.
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!
