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.
Je suis allé le samedi 16 décembre & je peux dire qu'il est un excellent bar pour passer une soirée chill & détendue. Notre serveur a été Julien, Il a très bien expliqué le menu & s'est montré très disposé à aider & à répondre à toutes nos questions. Nous avons commencé avec un Green Deacon & un Fresh Fizz. Les deuz cocktails vraiment bien. Je les suggère fortement. L'ambiance avec Dj & musique qui te fsit bouger la tête. C'esr sur que je vais y retourner. La seule chose qui je changerai: LE PISCO EST PÉRUVIEN. Vous devez utiliser pisco peruvien, le pisco chilean n'existe pas.
Our waiter never came back to us to even ask if everything is ok. In addition, I asked for pulled pork & I got fried chicken sandwich. I was able to grab the hostess attention & told her, but no one cares to apologize. Service at least the waiter I had was terrible. Hostess was nice, greater us & explained dnd menu. Overall, the food was OK.
Christ & Antoine are the best! Can't wait to see them again. They truly made our trip to Montreal ten times better!!! Highly recommend. The cocktails were curated to perfection. Tell them what you like & they'll make it, but better than you can imagine! Grace & Liam from NY
I'm not sure if I just ordered a bad cocktail but it came in a tiny glass & didn't taste good at all. Waste of 20$. The service was nice & the ambiance was great though.
Loved the underground type vibe of this bar. Tony our server was very knowledgeable & friendly. He even gave us recommendations for similar bars since we were from Toronto . It was also cool getting to see how the drinks were made, it was an entire show. Drink also tasted phenomenal & the presentation was very good
