This place was the absolute best bar/speakeasy/whiskey bar in Montreal, can't convince me otherwise. My boyfriend & I came here together & had such a fantastic night & experience having Peter as our server & the bartender making sure we would like our drinks before we ordered. We just had to come back! We sadly! Didn't try the food but it smelled absolutely DELICIOUS & it seems the cooks/kitchen take their time preparing & making each meal with excellence , wish we tried it now that we aren't there:( As we came back a second time we had come with a group making us a total of 6 on a Saturday night, it was very busy but the host was so generous & helped us get in & had us at the most perfect table for our group. Our server was Tony & I've never had a better service & experience (other than with Peter since they're best friends!!) I highly highly recommend coming here whether it be for drinks, food, or just vibes you will NEVER be disappointed. THANK YOU GUYS!!!

My group of friends & I were visiting Montreal for a girls trip & happened to stumble upon Bootlegger! We cannot say enough good about this cocktail bar! We loved it so much we went two nights in a row, & tried a variety of cocktails & food! The atmosphere & staff were exceptional & we would choose to go back there any day! We sat at the bar both nights to watch the bartenders craft their drinks as the drink list seems endless, & each & every drink is carefully made. If you are in Montreal, this is an absolute must on your itinerary!!!!
