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.

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