Bootlegger Cocktail Bar & Cuisine est largement salué pour ses cocktails créatifs, une excellente sélection de whiskies et une ambiance speakeasy accueillante avec un service attentif; le lieu offre des cocktails bien équilibrés, des huîtres en happy hour et une atmosphère chaleureuse et intime qui en fait une adresse idéale pour un rendez vous, entre amis ou un moment plus posé, agrémentée de concerts de jazz live le dimanche. Certaines notes mentionnent un service parfois irrégulier ou lent, des prix élevés et des incohérences dans certains plats, mais dans l'ensemble l'impression générale est celle d'un endroit unique et remarquable, un vrai coup de cœur pour les amateurs de cocktails et pour l'ambiance rétro.
Had high hopes for Bootlegger but they were dashed. Came for the Sunday night oyster special that they have every Sunday & they were out of oysters by 745pm. For a place that also sells oysters every day. Our server was lovely, but there were only 2 for the whole restaurant so service was extremely slow. Unfortunately that also meant our food was lukewarm when it hit our table.Not sure lf they had sick calls or this was their normal staffing levels on a day when they have an oyster special & Jazz music. If it was normal perhaps they need to rethink their business model.

Waiting in line for 40 minutes before having the hostess tell us there is no space at all for the rest of the night. We were there at about 7pm. If you know you're full for the entire night, you should tell people not to bother wait in line instead of wasting their time.
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).
We loved this place! Visited Montreal for the first time & this was our favorite place! The prices aren't bad, but they are definitely a little higher due to the overall atmosphere, service, & ambience. Which was sooo much fun! Make a reservation if you visit on a weekend! 10/10 recommend this place.

We went on a week day. Ordered wedges & a chicken starter both very not great. Cocktails were average It's recommended to visit on Sunday for live show so plan only for Sunday else it's just a regular ba
What a great experience this was. A very relaxed, enjoyable spot with an astounding amount of spirits. The service was very friendly. Pedro was very welcoming & informative. The perfect outing for our first night in Montreal.
