OUR STORY 

 

29,307 days after prohibition ended, restoring sanity and permitting the consumption of alcohol once more, The Bootlegger family opened the doors to our first bar on Gloucester Road in Bristol. Since then, we have continued to celebrate this momentous occasion and journeyed westward to Womanby Street in Cardiff, where we are proudly headquartered. Since establishing our HQ, we have expanded into Exeter, Brighton, Leeds, and Richmond. 

Unlike the prohibition days when joy was quashed and all good liquor was banned, we offer customers a place to enjoy themselves without the fear of incarceration or fines. We strive to provide the best nightlife experience in every town and city we operate in, offering our patented Prohibition blend of good stock, good company, and good times. 

When it comes to cocktails, The Bootlegger offers over 80 options for you to enjoy, ranging from classic favorites to swanky new creations. We are one of the few bars in the UK to sell CBD-infused cocktails, which are currently all the buzz. For gin connoisseurs, we have in-house dedicated gin bars offering a unique collection of over 100 gins. The Bootlegger also stocks an equally delightful range of craft beers, ales, and ciders, including local favorites. All these beverages are complemented by our exciting live music schedule, featuring local talent and DJs spinning contemporary tunes. 

From sumptuous drinks to live entertainment, The Bootlegger guarantees a roaring good time at all our unique venues. 

This is the Bootlegger, The Family, The Movement, The Place. 

We exist to bring people together to create amazing memories.
