The Bootlegger 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've grown our independent bar group with locations in Cardiff, Exeter, Brighton, Leeds, Richmond and beyond.
We celebrate great drinks, good company and unforgettable nights. Our bars serve over 80 creative and classic cocktails, alongside a top-notch range of craft beers, ales and ciders - plus a regular line-up of live music and DJs.
