Nous avons eu une expérience très désagréable dans ce bar. Pendant le service, nous avons eu trois serveurs différents & tout semblait déjà assez désorganisé. Le pire moment est arrivé au moment de payer. Mon mari a accidentellement laissé 0,03 $ de pourboire au lieu de 3 $ sur le terminal de paiement. Le serveur est immédiatement revenu en demandant :'Vous avez laissé 3 cents ? D'habitude, les gens font ça pour envoyer un message.' Mon mari a expliqué qu'il s'agissait simplement d'une erreur & qu'il voulait laisser 3 $. Le serveur a alors entré lui-même le montant sur le terminal & a insisté pour qu'il paie le pourboire. Quand mon mari a changé d'avis à cause de son attitude, le serveur a répondu :'Vous ne voulez pas payer votre pourboire ?' d'une manière très agressive & gênante. La situation était extrêmement embarrassante & inconfortable. Nous avons quand même laissé de l'argent comptant, mais l'attitude du serveur était impolie, peu professionnelle & déplacée. Un pourboire ne devrait jamais être exigé ni utilisé pour mettre des clients mal à l'aise.

We stumbled into Bootlegger without knowing it was Jazz night, & were instantly transported to the Prohibition Age! What a cozy, lovely spot for drinks; I got the le nuit cocktail, & it was a genuine feast for the senses. The coconut sugar added such a beautiful textural dimension to the drink, I wanted to lick the glass clean!
The jazz musicians were fantastic & the staff were all so helpful & sweet. I would love to come back to try the food here! Cannot recommend enough.

On était venu pour les huîtres malheureusement il n'y en avait pas ce jour là donc on a pris l'assiette de charcuterie à partager & un cocktail par personne. J'ai adoré le cocktail Stewie stress. Les prix en happy hour sont vraiment correct. La déco & l'ambiance est sympa ainsi que le personnel :)
