Booked The Bootlegger for private hire for my husbands 40th and it was the best choice! Excellent venue and Prav, the owner, could not have been any more helpful he was brilliant with communication from when I visited all the way to the end. The venue itself is stunning and me and all the guests all commented saying how awesome it was. The decor is fab and it truly does take you back to the 20s. We didn't have a fancy dress theme but with such a beautiful decorated bar we didn't feel we needed too. It is spacious inside and because it's all on one level it makes the party flow better rather then having too many break out areas. The cocktails are delicious and a bouncer was provided on the day to stop any non-guests from coming in. The staff on the day were outstanding and so, so friendly. I would 100% book again without a doubt. Great place so do go check it out!
I recently held my 50th Birthday Party here. It was superb (even though I say so myself): my guests loved the venue and thought the staff and service were great (and fast). Big recommend.
Amazing venue! I hired the entire bar for a 1920s party and it was just brilliant. Everything was made easy by the owner and staff - planning, canapés, arranging the DJ and the party itself. Cannot recommend it enough!
Fantastic atmosphere, lovely staff and such great music! The jazz band were amazing with their twist on contemporary music and the tunes late into the night were completely on point. This will be definitely be the first of many visits!
I met this place walking to the Leadenhall Market... and now i'm in love, beautiful place, friendly staff and the best music <3
Had a friend's birthday party at Bootleggers on Saturday night. Great venue, really helpful Manager, security and bar staff. Would definitely recommend.
My favourite bar. Always has the best Champagne (cocktails too) and live music. One of Londons best prohibition bars,
We stumbled upon this place on my bday. Great atmospher, great place.
The best French fries in entire London with little bit of Onion powder... And run by equally amazing ppl. I am glad that I chose to visit this underground 1930 styled pub. Astonished to know that the floor wooden planks are actually shipped from USA and from 1930. One of the best bars serving fantastic cocktails.... Thanks the bootlegger. �
Amazing venue, awesome cocktails and lovely staff - they've put a lot of attention to the detail. A must try speakeasy if you're in London
Hard to find but that's the point I Guess) brilliant drinks, staff and interior!
Beautiful place . I liked band Music so mucj! Music is very important
One of the best bars in London! Me and my friends love it!
Amazing place... Definitely I will back again...
Very nice staff, congratulations...
To perfection ! Thank you to everyone that supported the band & myself the DJ last night - very successful evening to be apart of . Staff are very friendly - is refreshing to see. Hear to many more at the Bootlegger for 1 year anniversary . Keep it up !
Thank you , all the best x
Perfect ! If you go to London you got to try this
Such a fun night! Incredible bartenders, great music and a really fun atmosphere!
It is one of the finest brewery I have ever visited.
Huge range and variety of beers and stuff.
A very nice and decent ambience and food was good too.
You are the best guys.
Cheers.
The Bootlegger is a fairly new speakeasy tucked in behind Leadenhall Market on Lime Street, near Monument. Be careful not to walk past – it is signposted but just look out for the Nandos and it is the next one along!. Down in the basement is actually rather spacious and not as horribly dark as some other speakeasies. Brilliant decor...
Had a really nice night out. Bar team had an amazing drink knowledge and helped me and my partner decide what to order. Anton and Toni made me and my friends some really tasty cocktails and made the whole experience really fun and entertaing. Looking forward to my next visit.
Awesome live music and djs, shout out to greg. Great selection of spirits and cocktail knowledge.
Great staff. Always willing to offer a good cocktail experience.
Definitely a wealth of cocktail knowledge at the bar.
Had some great fun seeing Third Wheel play here, enjoying some cocktails and tunes.
Loved the cocktails nice find in busy London
Nice friendly staff decor modern out look sorry can't remember the names of the cocktails showen in pics
Fun speakeasy environment with strong prohibition vibes. The door is fairly hidden, but there is a white sign above it if you look closely. The bar tenders are very flashy as the make the cocktails. He made us one off menu that he set on fire! Good drink and music selection with a variety of seating areas.
Spectacular speakeasy in the City of London. I really want it to remain my hidden gem. The atmosphere was lit, DJ was fantastic, and an enormous shout out to Bernardo and the other barmen for their attentiveness. I had a great cocktail which was the dealer's choice. Ask them to make it and you won't regret it- it's based on gin and they cover the glass' lips with sugar
Spent a few hours here this week. Most of the staff are friendly. There were co managers, one was nice the other was more hostile. The bar staff were nice. Prices were reasonable.
Amazing 1920s speakeasy venue which exceeded my expectations for my private leaving party where I hired the whole venue. Cocktails were a delight, staff were really considerate and have many suggestions. Ordered some cocktail making classes which everyone enjoyed and even had a live band and poker table set up. Great night and if I'm ever back in London I shall be sure to post a visit! Check the photos attached for the wonderful feel this place has!
The service is amazing in this place, Harrold, Anton, Maz and Tony have been great recommending drinks and made our experience unforgettable! We'll be back!
This is located next to nandos, a door on the right. You have to walk down into the basement.
Pros
- great décor and design
- good service
- table service available
Cons
- weird smell when you walk in
- some rock music playing in the background, not very authentic to the theme
- drinks are expensive, average £10 each
Great bar, a little hidden gem in the heart of the city. The bartender made us three different virgin cocktails upon request which were yummy.
Quiet on a monday evening, we had the venue to ourselves but i believe it is busier later in the week.
I loved the decor however the toilets were a bit smelly and small.
I end up having a great time whenever I visit, and the cocktail menu is always 10/10. If you're in the area and need a place to go try it out.
This place is a great speakeasy and right in the centre. Been there two Fridays in a row for ending a night. The cocktails take a bit of time to be made, but they're done properly. Looks very professional and worth the wait. DJs are a bit rouge and if I were to make any complaint, it would be them. Second night I went, they accepted 20 of us kindly, kept our night happy. Can go here in either a suit or jeans and a T and I don't think you'd feel out of sorts. Main reason for the 5 star is because they easily returned my wallet the next day after I left it there on a night out. Great guys!
Great cocktails! And they even let us play the music we wanted
Great experience here at Bootlegger EC3. The bar staff were great and knowledgeable. Perfect for a quiet catch up early on in the week or a good buzz during the end of the week and over the weekend. Unlike the rest of the City, this bar remains lively on Saturdays due to their live sessions and prohibition layout and events. Massive kudos and a hidden gem.
Stopped in for a drink after graduation, ended up staying all evening, fantastic cocktails, great value, excellent service and great vibes! Served by Thomas, Benjamin and Ahmed, all of whom were absolutely amazing and made us feel so comfortable! Looking forward to coming back!
