We ended up at The Bootlegger as the bar we were going to had a 45 min waiting list. We arrived there, the design was really nice & intimate. However, it was abnormally hot considering it was only spring. The drinks were alright but I could live without the constant & perpetual up-selling of our server Tony. When I asked which whiskey cocktail he would recommend, he snobbed us & said'I don't come here for cocktails that have egg whites & all that stuff. I hate cocktails'. Considering this place is called Bootlegger Cocktails Bar & Cuisine, that comment is absolutely unacceptable & misplaced. Cocktails were decent, however I would much rather have waited the 45 minutes at Le Mal Nécessaire. Shout out to Tony who asked us to leave to leave a great review, well here it is.
