THE BOOTLEGGER

The Bootlegger is your go-to spot for cocktails that could knock your socks off, but it’s not without its quirks. For the most part, the drinks are crafted with the kind of care that you’d hope for, thanks to staff like Fran and Callum who whip up cocktails like it’s their life mission. One punter raved about the espresso martini that was ‘the greatest’ in their lifetime, which sounds like some serious exaggeration, but hey, who am I to rain on that parade?

But then there’s the dark side. If you find yourself here on a Saturday night and it’s looking emptier than a pub during a zombie apocalypse, that’s a bit concerning. And let’s not forget the espresso martini disaster that had one reviewer questioning reality. It's a mixed bag – great cocktails but erratic vibes. If you can handle a bit of unpredictability, this could be your new favorite haunt.
