The Bootlegger Bristol ✨ THE FAMILY | THE MOVEMENT | THE PLACE
We carry the spirit of the night Prohibition ended — 5th December 1933. https://bootleggerbars.com/book-now/
(310)

Craft cocktails, live music, and late-night vibes that never go out of style. Cradled at the top of Cheltenham Road – you will find The Bootlegger, an independent, family run business welcoming all who look for friendly company, good conversation, and solid drinks. The Bootlegger is a bar for all times, a place without pretense. Our drinks, our service, and our music are inspired by prohibition-era traditions but also offer the very best of contemporary modern America. We believe that a bar is what its patrons and community make it, which is why we serve true, well crafted cocktails and brews all within a live music environment. We are excited to be part of the Bristol community and welcome you all to come and feel at home in our bar. Live Music is at the heart of our bar. We build on the very best of the 1920’s and 30s swing and jazz scene and also offer more modern influenced Blues, Jazz, Soul, and rock n roll.
