Les avis sur Bootlegger Cocktail Bar & Cuisine évoquent une ambiance chaleureuse et vintage, proche d'une speakeasy, avec des concerts de jazz le dimanche et une décoration soignée. Les cocktails sont souvent loués pour leur originalité et leur équilibre, présentés avec soin et accompagnés d'une sélection d'huîtres et de plats variés. Le service est en général apprécié pour sa convivialité et son savoir-faire, mais des retards, des commandes manquées et des moments d'inattention ont été signalés. Le cadre peut être bruyant et le décor peut sembler chargé, ce qui ne convient pas à toutes les occasions, mais l'endroit a du charme. La carte des boissons est vaste et parfois impressionnante avec de nombreuses options de whisky et d'absinthe, mais certaines promotions peuvent sembler excessives. L'expérience peut varier avec des boissons parfois peu intenses et des plats qui ne satisfont pas tout le monde, et les portions peuvent sembler petites pour le prix. Les tarifs peuvent sembler élevés mais la qualité et l'ambiance justifient le coût pour beaucoup. Dans l ensemble Bootlegger apparaît comme une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de cocktails créatifs, de jazz et d'huîtres, à fréquenter plusieurs fois pour en profiter pleinement.
Un véritable bijou pour les amateurs de whisky & de cocktails. La sélection est impressionnante, avec des bouteilles rares & des créations parfaitement maîtrisées. Chaque cocktail est équilibré avec précision, on sent le souci du détail.
Mais ce qui fait vraiment la différence, c'est le service. Chris, le patron, est passionné, accueillant & connaît son métier sur le bout des doigts. Il prend le temps de conseiller, de partager ses découvertes & de créer une vraie expérience, pas juste un verre.
L'ambiance est élégante sans être prétentieuse - parfaite pour une soirée entre amis ou un moment plus posé. Clairement une adresse incontournable.
A true gem for whisky & cocktail lovers. The selection is outstanding, featuring rare bottles & expertly crafted drinks. Every cocktail is perfectly balanced - you can really feel the attention to detail.
What truly sets this place apart is the service. Chris, the owner, is passionate, welcoming, & incredibly knowledgeable. He takes the time to guide you, share his favorites, & turn your visit into a real experience.
The atmosphere is refined without being pretentious - perfect for a night out or a more relaxed evening. Definitely a must-visit spot.
The drinks were beautifully presented & the ambiance was truly lovely. However, I ordered a dirty martini &, unfortunately, it was quite disappointing. The gin had an unexpectedly harsh, almost cinnamon-like flavor that overpowered the cocktail, making it undrinkable for my taste. To add to the surprise, I was charged an additional $6 for the olive brine - which felt excessive.

Les cocktails étaient magnifiquement présentés & l'ambiance était vraiment agréable. Cependant, j'ai commandé un dirty martini &, malheureusement, j'ai été déçue. Le gin avait une saveur étonnamment forte, presque cannélée, qui dominait complètement le cocktail & le rendait difficile à boire à mon goût. De plus, on m'a facturé 6 $ supplémentaires pour la saumure d'olive - ce qui m'a semblé excessif.
Excellent service & drinks! The staff is absolutely lovely (& hilarious!), promptly answering any questions we had & kindly indulging us in conversation. We will be back again to try more drinks, some food, & enjoy the live music :)
I rarely write bad reviews but im writing this for the safety of consumers. I ordered oysters. I immediately noticed that they smelled sort of like a dirty bathroom. I'm from the coast of maine. I know oysters should not smell. Especially like that. I knew they were bad & sent them back. Politely I may add. & they STILL CHARGED ME for them. Plus, they need to learn how to better shuck an oyster as well. Then, my friends & I ordered a pour of cask strength whiskey. Being part of a whisky club & having tried many whiskies, that was not cask strength. & not only was it not cask strength, it tasted like a gold rum. We Politely asked to see the bottle that he poured from & he wouldn't show us. Then he reluctantly told us he did not pour the cask strength whiskey we ordered. So, naturally we asked the tender to pour us what we ordered, & he had the scruples to ask us if we were going to pay for both. Technically he had already committed theft & fraud. So, no we were not going to pay for something we did not order. It's one thing to just have a one off or a bad night at a restaurant/bar, but this was just unsafe, unacceptable, & bad for business as a consumer. Unfortunately this will not be a business I will tell others in the industry or in my community to visit. Although my friends see it as a funny story, I'd prefer to stay alive & know what im eating & or drinking at all times.
I came in on a Wednesday night vibes were immaculate, got surprised by a jazz band,! i was welcomed by the LOVELY Rita sat at the bar in front of Tyler, made fantabulous drinks hit all the the tongue palates then Paul makes amazing creations. Just to mention RITA one more time, she's hilarious.

Drinks overpriced. Advertised as a jazz bar with live performances, there were no live performers nor jazz or blues music related to the theme of the bar. If you're willing to spend a lot on a night out, this is your place.. otherwise, there are options with better atmosphere, affordable food & drinks.
We had a great experience at Bootlegger! Remi was very knowledgeable about the drinks & super kind to us! We had fun & learned a bit about Whiskey in the process.
We ate here on a recent trip to Montreal. My wife likes to keep busy & she knows I like jazz so we just took a shot on this place. The jazz trio was fantastic. Ask for Remi. He helped us with our drink orders all night & was very helpful & informative.
Drinks & food were fine & the atmosphere was great.
That said, I over heard a server speaking very rudely & being racist towards to another table which soured my experience. I'm not sure if I would come again because of that.
