Love this place ever since my buddy introduced me to it. Staff are awesome, food/drinks are great & the atmosphere & music is also good.

Washroom rating is good too. They use hand towels instead of paper which are discarded into a basket once used, & the washroom is well tended to.

Quelle expérience on a vécu hier chez Bootlegger. C'était notre sortie d'occasion de notre 7 anniversaire avec mon fiancé.
À la réception, ils nous ont demandé pour accrocher nos manteaux. Pendant la sélection des boissons notre serveur, Tylor, nous a expliqué & conseillé les meilleurs choix pour la dégustation de whisky. Les assiettes d'accompagnement (charcuterie & les huîtres de l'île du Prince Édouard ) ont été délicieuses.
Merci beaucoup pour votre attention & le service reçu pour cette soirée très spéciale pour nous.

We went for the 5-7 happy hour, & tried all cocktails from the happy hour menu. On a unianimous voting the Moscow Moule stood the best. Oysters for dollar 1 is pretty impressive, the special tabasco sauce makes it great. The decor is nice, the bar has a relaxed vibe & overall great service. Don't know the name of the person who welcomed us, certainly did not make us feel welcome. We had to wait despite having made a reservation. But Antoine (Tony) was a sweetheart, excellent service. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.
