What it’s like

Live music and cocktail masterclasses in a bar setting built for grown-up nights out, not a family visit.

This one's for the adults, not the kids. The Bootlegger runs live music events and cocktail masterclasses, and it's the masterclasses that seem to be the point of going: you're there to learn how a drink gets made, not just to order one. That's a very different night out to a gig with a support act on, so it's worth knowing which one you're booking before you turn up.

Food is bar food built for sharing, sliders and small plates rather than a sit-down meal, which suits grazing through a set or between cocktail rounds but won't fill you up if you skip lunch first. If you're a Bootlegger VIP member you get a free cocktail thrown in, which is a nice touch if you're already a regular but not something that changes a first visit.

There's nothing here pitched at children. No age range is given, but between the live music, the cocktails and the masterclass format, this reads as a night out you'd book a babysitter for rather than one you'd bring the pram to.

Plan your visit

Is this suitable for kids?

Nothing in what they offer, live music and cocktail masterclasses, points to children. It's built as an adult night out.

What food is there?

Bar food: sharers, sliders and small plates, meant for grazing rather than a proper sit-down meal.

What's the cocktail masterclass?

It's listed alongside the live music as one of the two things people go for, so expect a hands-on session learning to make drinks rather than just ordering from the bar.
