Reviews of The Bootlegger
E. R.
Amazing place to have a drink, atmosphere is sleek and classy. The huge menu has plenty to choose from and the 2 for 1 menu being able to mix and match was such a great sight. The bar staff were amazing and looked after us so well, the experience made us cancel our next booking so we could stay longer! Can't recommend this place enough

We stumbled upon this gem by accident, and both really fancied a cocktail. We made a good choice to go in. The 1920s vibe was brilliant. The cocktails were absolutely delicious (we ended up trying 5 between us); I would recommend the Rum and Maple Old Fashioned. The staff were incredibly kind, and the service was just exceptional. I wish I could have tried everything off the menu; but we will be returning soon, so hopefully eventually I can.

Fantastic cocktails and great live music! Well worth a visit! Georgia is a great waitress too!
L. W.
The atmosphere was vibrant and lovely. Really loved the style of the bar and the layout. The cocktails were delicious but very pricey! The staff were polite and served well, but hard to sometimes order a drink as it was table service and as we were sat at the back of the bar.

Ended up trying 5 different cocktails which were all delicious and very reasonably priced. The French Martini particularly was really good. The staff are super friendly and attentive and the vibe was really good We will definitely be returning next time we’re in cardiff

Done a cocktail master class with them Fin was Excellent and fun. We made the cocktails we wanted to make of the the happy hour menu.
Afterwards we stayed for more cocktails. They best cocktails I have ever had. Definitely going back if I’m ever back in Cardiff

A bar with a great vibe and an extensive menu of cocktails. There is a lot to choose from so there really is something for everyone. The Raging Bull was my favorite of the many drinks I had when I was there and I'd recommend it to those who want something a little refreshing. Definitely a great stop for those who like cocktails.

What a wonderful little oasis in woman by street. Jade made us the best long Island iced tea, best we've ever had and we've had a few. Cool jazz music playing and perfect ambiance. Thank you Jade and the team.

What a classy establishment! Rang during the week and asked to reserve a table for midnight on Saturday. No tables available but they put my group on a Guestlist to ensure admission. Got there at midnight and there was a queue with people being turned away. Spoke the the bouncer who had my name in the Guestlist and he let us in. That's proper customer service. Superb atmosphere and music inside.
C. E.
Great atmosphere and great drinks.

Best bar I’ve been in in a long time. Hats off to Jade n Arthur who worked their arses off the whole time we were in but were utterly professional and so friendly. 5 stars!

Bootlegger is bloody fab. It's beautiful inside with a wonderfully well thought out drinks menu. The mocktails I had were delicious and brilliantly made. The two bar men I met were absolutely lovely and made me feel so welcome. Couldn't recommend it enough!
F. M.
Really nice place I loved the cocktail 🍸🍹 and decorations ☺️

Bootlegger has some of the best cocktails in Cardiff in my opinion. Always best to go when they're offering 2 for £10 to keep the costs down but worth the money. You can even mix and match for the price which most other places don't offer. I'm fussy with cocktails because I find that most places put too much ice in their drinks. Bootlegger still has ice but doesn't compromise on flavour. Banana Colada is a fav.

Best cocktails I've ever had. Great service and atmosphere!

Amazing experience watching Les Reservoir Dogs here last Friday ahead of the rygbi the next day. Alex behind the bar could not have been more helpful in assisting me with a dazzlingly refreshing array of alternatives to alcohol. Buzzing atmosphere.Brilliant, simply brilliant. Diolch yn fawr iawn fy ffrindiau newydd

I am having two amazing cocktails and my fiancé is enjoying a really good red ale. Great vibe, friendly and knowledgeable bar staff, we would definitely be regulars if we lived in Cardiff.
G. H.
My first time here, tho, I've been to neighbouring bars over the years, like GATEKEEPER, BLUE MOON, CLWB IFOR BACH etc. Brilliant night with friends. Bar staff and door staff were very friendly and polite. Great band/atmosphere too. Will definitely come back again and will tell friends about the place. Thank you BOOTLEGGER! :-) x
M. G.
Amazing place to go with friends! Live music was amazing with a great band, I imagine the bands change however the night I went they had great music and everyone could sing along. It’s a tad cramped and seemed to attract a slightly older audience but it was a great time and would definitely recommend!
L. M.
Great Place, fun live band that got us up and dancing and loved the espresso martinis!
m. w.
Owner Lee Miller has created a Beautiful place, with a fantastic atmosphere that attracts, various ages, the music is blues soul, jazz, the staff cater for your every needs and the attention to detail on the cocktails is first class. This place has gone from strength to strength within the first 12 months and will continue to do so as the club is constantly evolving first class in every way a must for anybody who either lives or is visiting Cardiff. Staff always helpful and polite Handley make the customers feel relaxed. 5 stars is not enough stars for this outstanding place in Cardiff definitely one to try for yourself.

Really tasty cocktails, even on the 2 for 10 deal. No decline in quality. The espresso martini was so smooth and the grasshopper tasted like baskin and robins mint chocolate chip icecream! Would come back again.

Really good bar with a plenty of selection of drinks. We were there at around 23:00ish on a Saturday and it wasn’t that busy which meant that we could actually talk while having drinks (showing my age now😜). Apparently they do Jazz nights as well so will have to visit then.

(Translated) Very nice decorated inside.
The music is wonderful (although the one they have on the speaker outside was not the one inside. John Coltrane was playing and inside it was soft rock from the 70s).
The pint at a price similar to that of the rest of the premises and at an average temperature (it was not very cold).
We left after a drink.
(Original)
Muy bonito decorado por dentro.
La música es una maravilla (aunque la que tienen puesta en el altavoz de fuera no era la de dentro. Se escuchaba John Coltrane y dentro era rock suave de los 70).
La pinta a un precio similar al del resto de locales y a una temperatura media (no estaba muy fría).
Nos fuimos después de una consumición.
