I was able to reserve a spot at Bootlegger for my friends & me last night. The drinks were a bit pricey but very tasty, with a wide variety to choose from. Although the atmosphere was great, the service was poor. Our waiter seemed very enthusiastic but was passive-aggressive & unprofessional at times. Despite that, we had a good time & enjoyed Bootlegger's drinks & the artsy environment.

I had a few cocktails that were all quite tasty & introduced me to different whiskeys. The cucumber basil salad was not only beautiful, but refreshing. The bartender was attentive & very good at his job. The vibe is very speakeasy & chill.
