Best bar in Montreal! The music was fantastic, the decor is A+, the vibe is so awesome, the drinks are amazing & the employees are so wonderful! We particularly loved Christ (the bartender) & sitting at the bar while he & his team did their thing. It was incredible to watch. A true art form! 10/10. Must go!

I recently visited a cocktail bar & had an exceptional experience, thanks to the bartender, Christ. The atmosphere was vibrant & welcoming, perfect for a night out with friends or a relaxed evening. Christ was incredibly easy to talk to, making the experience even more enjoyable. He truly knows his craft, creating some of the best cocktails I've ever tasted. Each drink was perfectly balanced, showcasing his expertise & passion for mixology. Whether you're a cocktail connoisseur or just looking for a great place to unwind, this bar, is it! Merci Beaucoup!

During a short visit of Montreal, found this awesome cocktail bar with lit vibe of live DJ playing cool music on Saturday night. We sat at the bar & only had drinks. The cocktails were so well balanced, with clear taste & neat finishing on the look. The bartenders are professional. The bar has stylish interior designs giving great atmosphere. Definitely will come again if visiting Montreal.

Good music but even better service. Antawn was super friendly, knowledge & personable & really went above & beyond to service us. Without him, the experience definitely would not be the same.

I discovered Bar Bootlegger by googling lounges near me. The pictures & menu caught my eye so I decided to try it & they did not disappoint! Delicious drinks for all tastes that are so much fun to watch being made! I came on a Sunday night in which I had the pleasure of enjoying their live jazz music. Sadly I came too late & missed the $1 oyster deal as they ran out, so I recommend you come early for the special! Overall lovely experience!

Belle ambiance, excellent choix de boissons, bonnes assiettes. La serveuse nous parlait en anglais & avait de la difficulté à parler en français. Elle était gentille mais nous aurions apprécié de meilleurs conseils pour faire notre sélection de cocktails. Belle expérience en général.
