Antoine was one of the best waiters I've ever had at a bar/restaurant. He was attentive, knew the menu inside & out, presented everything well, & was very personable. I honestly will ask for him next time I visit Montreal.

Cocktails merveilleux 🍹 Mais très trop bruyant ! C'était horrible. Nous sommes partis à cause de la musique. Réellement, on est pas dans une boîte de nuit !

An intimately cosy & atmospheric establishment which does an authentic job of feeling like it's been there for a century. The cocktail list is one of the most extensive I've ever seen, with the quality of drinks & food - a charcuterie board & burgers - all top-notch. We were warmly & professionally served throughout, although I felt maybe one extra waiter was required during the busiest time. The highlight was the live Sunday jazz band, which turned an already good time into a gem of Montreal's rich cultural life. A classy & memorable experience!

visited on a Thursday night, there was a live DJ with great music. The whiskey selection is to die-for. Their cocktails are well crafted & well priced. There is an option for the alcohol free. The "Alchemist " alcohol free cocktail was refreshing with notesbof cucumber & lime. The atmosphere is friendly to casual & dressed up alike. The host staff was friendly, fast & effective. I was hesitant to order food due to small kitchen but every dish we sampled off the menu was delicious & well cooked, note Their signature pulled pork nachos.

The whole experience at the bootlegger was amplified by our server Antoine. Based on his recommendations both of our cocktails Naked N Famous & Aku Aku were delicious & boozy. Definitely a must visit cocktail bar.

This was our second time here in the last two months or so, & we went on a Sunday night to catch some jazz & oysters. We were seated promptly, however it took about another 15 minutes for our waiter to come to our table. Eventually we ordered some cocktails & oysters, but it was than another 40 or so minutes to receive our drinks (essentially, an hour after being seated to get a round on the table) Halfway through the wait for drinks, we were informed that they were out of'regular oysters' & would only be serving'premium' for the rest of the night. I asked about the price difference &, instead of being 12 dollars for a dozen, it was closer to 48 dollars (I declined the upcharge). I was a little surprised they were completely out, as we only arrived about 15 minutes after the music started. Our server was a nice enough guy, although obviously new & inadequately trained for the amount of tables he had to juggle that evening. They were completely understaffed aside from behind the bar (where there seemed to be not one but 3 bartenders). When we did receive our drinks, they all were very well made, aside from a bruised orange peel in my Manhattan. The jazz was nice, & atmosphere was also nice. Just be warned that if you're going on a busy night, you'll be waiting quite a while for your drinks, food (if they have it in stock), & pretty much anything else that requires service. We brought a friend from our of town as we were pretty impressed the first evening (aside from the employee who had his night off or something & seated beside us. He was incredibly belligerent & was clearly overserving the two ladies seated with him).
