We absolutely LOVED Bootlegger! Tyler was friendly, outgoing, knowledgeable, & attentive. All the staff we came in contact with was great, in fact - they greeted you with a smile & were genuine. Sunday nights they have live Jazz, which added to the already soothing, speakeasy-vibe ambiance. From the flights to the drinks to the food to the service & atmosphere, we can truly say nothing negative about it! Would recommend to anyone without hesitation, & look forward to coming back when we come back to Montreal!

Had a pretty good first experience at Bootlegger for a Sunday night. Cozy room, buck a shuck oysters, fantastic bar program & we were lucky enough to have live jazz. The only negative feedback is I had asked what the speed rail vodka was because I just wanted a dirty martini, I was shocked to see it was 19 dollars with a 1 dollar charge for olive juice. If I knew a basic, non premium martini was going to be 20 dollars I would have tried one of the cocktails from the menu, a little steep.
