Wow! Do you like jazz? Do you like whiskey? Do you like waiters who know their way around a bottle? If you answered yes to these questions, you should definitely come to bootlegger. Our waiter Antoine was awesome. Knew his stuff. Could grab a drink with him. Peace.

Sitting at the bar top provided an intimate experience that will be hard to top. An excellent view of the stage, where a phenomenal trio set a lively but smooth jazz ambience, & an opportunity to watch the bartenders as they skillfully crafted high quality cocktails while exchanging playful banter amongst each other created the perfect atmosphere to end a weekend (or start a week). Even with a relatively tiny area to work in, the kitchen staff flew through orders with quiet & calm grace. Bootlegger was a delightful surprise, & I look forward to visiting again. Ps. Thank you Chris, for your hospitality & commitment to your craft.

I had an absolute fantastic time at Bootlegger. I trusted the Google Reviews & this place deserves every star they have recieved. From the fantastic & fun service from Christ 🫡 (plus everyone else), the DELICIOUS grilled cheese/fries/aoili, to the groovy live Sunday night Jazz quartet, it was great. Looking forward to my next visit.
