Everything was perfect. From the helpful, attentive, patient staff, to the incredible, speakeasy-like atmosphere, to the live jazz band, to one of the best old-fashions I've had in my life. The burger was cooked to perfection, the spinach salad was seasoned and garnished BEAUTIFULLY, the fries were more like seasoned potato wedges. Easy to miss on the street, but an absolute home-run of an establishment that is not to be missed on a trip to the city. Upscale, expensive, but what you get is easily worth the price. Love that it's hard to find because it feels like secret knowledge for such an immaculate place. Even the walk up the stairs was neat.

One of the most amazing evenings I had while in Montreal during La Classique Du Quebec 2026. The atmosphere and professionalism of the staff on the evening of Feb 15th 2026 was unmatched as a whole. We came for drinks and oysters before an event and decided to come back shortly after in the same evening due to the wonderful service from the awe inspiring Rita. Truly a wonderful experience. Looking forward to returning in July!

Genuinely an awesome spot. Rose the waitress was fantastic with her energy. The oysters, charcuterie board and champagne were great. The DJ was playing banger after banger. The vibe and ambience of the place exceeded my expectations.

I visited Bootlegger tonight and overall had a great time with the food, drinks, and especially the service. The Bootlegger burger was absolutely amazing—juicy, flavorful, and something I’d definitely order again. The pulled pork burger stood out as well, tender and satisfying. The side salad with sun-dried tomatoes was a refreshing touch and paired nicely with the mains. On the other side, the wagyu burger was a bit disappointing; it came out quite dry and there was no option to have it cooked more rare since that’s left to the chef. Also, some condiments would’ve made it better and flavourful. For sides, the potato wedges were tasty but a little plain. They really could’ve used more sauce what came with them was barely a spoonful, not enough to go around. On the drinks side, I really enjoyed the Donkey King. The banana-vanilla flavor profile worked for me, though I can see why some people (like my friends) would find it unusual for a cocktail. The Agent Orange was good—nothing particularly special, but solid. The service was fantastic. Our servers were professional, attentive, and funny, which made the whole experience more enjoyable. The only other drawback was the table setup. The tables themselves are really small, and the plates are fairly large, so we ended up shifting things around constantly to make everything fit. If we had been a group of four instead of three, I don’t think it would’ve worked at all—I’d recommend smaller plates to help with space. All in all, Bootlegger has some good burgers, creative cocktails, and top-notch service that make it worth a visit, but a few tweaks (especially to the wagyu burger, sauce portions, and tableware) would really take the experience up a notch.

Really good oysters and the cocktail selection is impressive. A bit pricey and the portions are a bit small but the seafood tastes so fresh and the dishes are really tasty. Wouldn’t recommend for a date because it’s kind of noisy. Service was great and bathrooms were really clean.

I had a lovely night out with my dad to celebrate my 18th birthday!! we were taken care of as soon as we walked into the door even as we were early for our reservation. Bar service was amazing, i gave a brief of what i liked and received two amazing drinks that i would order again. We also ordered oysters as it was happy our and they were sooooo good (i loved the hot sauce). Would recommend to anyone who enjoys a speakeasy or a smaller bar atmosphere (: Cocktails: Passion fruit daiquiri Passion fruit whiskey sour
