The vibe is very unique, this place is truly a gem. I recently stopped drinking and the bartender was kind enough to make me two different mocktails. read more

I was a little disappointed in this place considering they have 4.2 stars. We stopped to get a drink and chill for a few before we headed to dinner and there were 2 bartenders and what looked like a waitress talking to another table. Now there was one or two table (which she was talking to) and few ppl at the bar. We sat down, not greeted at all. The waitress was still having a full blown conversation with the table. I think we waited at least 5 min or more for someone to acknowledge us. The male bartender finally came over and took our order of drinks. My bf got the old fashioned and I got the strawberry mojito. My drink was mediocre at best, had strawberry hint but very subtle and the alcohol tasted like it was all at the bottom and the rest lacked so much flavor. His old fashioned looked good and I liked the smoke trip they did as well. The male bartender is the only reason I'm giving a 4 star although it wasn't the best experience. I just hope other customers were dm treated better and at least greeted when they come in . read more

The Bootlegger - Strawberry mojito - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Service was terrible. Told our friend she couldn't use her breast pumps in the bathroom and told her to go bump outside!!! What type of establishment allows this type of prejudice!? Do not go here. read more

A unique atmosphere à la the1920s. Staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Menu had great selections a wide variety for a small plates/tapas restaurant. First, the smoked old fashion was the most unique cocktail I've ever had. A skull placed on the glass was ignited to create a smoky effect. Besides the drama the drink was excellent. As were the oysters Rockefeller, flatbread and homemade meatballs. Overall, a 5 star plus. PS parking in savanna is tough but public parking lot across the street from the restaurant. read more

We ordered one appetizer - the meatballs. They were fine, but Came out lukewarm. Service meh. Zero Pleasantries from Waiter. Show me ID is his first question. we're 50... I get that it's a rule however why not say hello thanks for coming in. Can I check your ID please. Drinks do not have prices on the menu. He upcharged me without asking. A $21 drink? Told me I ordered something I didn't and given that he asked not one question I don't see how but .... We watched him handle the ice and cherry with HIS HANDS which is gross. I should have said something. Then he gave us our glasses with his fingers over the top of the glass, again gross! Hold middle to bottom of glassware -no one wants your dirty (or washed) fingers on the rim of glass where we put our lips - bad manners. He was just an order taker. Doesn't make you feel wanted The whole staff just yelled back and forth to each other-chatting while we sat there. It's quite rude. I watched him eat his dinner at the bar too and not Wash his hands after-that was fun. Sure hope he washed them prior to putting ice cubes in my glass with his fingers and not a scooper. Health dept would not like that read more

Ordered a Roosevelt smoked old fashioned which is $21 I was served the drink that was supposed to be smoked and was served without it. Don't recommend this place for the price or quality read more

My husband and I popped in because of the sign outside that said they had the best smoked Old Fashioned. Lucky was our bartender, and watching him create our drinks you could tell he had experience. He crafted each cocktail with perfect ease. He was so friendly as well and kept up an enjoyable conversation with us the whole time. We thoroughly enjoyed our drinks and can confirm the smoked Old Fashioned was the best I'd ever had. As we sat at talked to Lucky, Mickey came up and blew a couple smoke bubbles our way for entertainment. Just the above and beyond nature of the staff here was outstanding. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Enjoyed the bar food and drinks at The Bootlegger. The atmosphere was amazing and laidback vibes. Bugsy at the bar was awesome. Great hospitality and the drinks were on point. Will be back read more

Beautiful, cute place and nice music right on the water and River street. Just ask your server for pricing if you don't want to spend $38.00 for a Blanton Manhattan. Truly ridiculous and disappointing. SMH read more

We stopped in for just a drink. Bonnie our waitress was wonderful!! She made the best old fashion I ever had. The "show" that she put on to make them is great. I would highly recommend this place. Great atmosphere. Fun drinks! read more

The Bootlegger was my first stop along the Riverwalk. I stopped in for a few drinks, asked for recommendations and was suggested to try the Old Fashion. Wow! So much flavor and what an experience. I loved the vibe of The Bootlegger, the pictures, the Christmas tree, the bartenders of course and the Flapper. I actually like that the TVs are in black and white which was a nice touch to the speak easy. I definitely recommend visiting and trying the Old Fashion. Cheers read more

I haven't left a review in years but feel compelled. I went here around 6 pm on the Monday before New Year's. It was not packed by any means. My partner and I walked in and sat down (it says to seat yourself.) A couple came and sat down after at the table next to us soon after. A server came and asked them for their order first (fine, maybe they didn't see us.) The server came back to the same table next to us, went to another table next to that one and in both occasions did not acknowledge us. I couldn't help but notice that the crowd appeared white including the staff, and my partner is not. Of course it could not have been connected to that at all but it's hard not to go there when you are completely ignored and the white couple that came in after you was served and no one acknowledges you. At the very least we expected someone to say, "we see you and we'll be right with you." We left without saying anything. No need to stay where you are not wanted or welcomed but it soured our evening. Hard pass. read more

Bonnie, the bartender, gave us an amazing Savannah experience that we will remember. Suggested great places to visit and explore. When we come down again we will stop by and say HI. Five stars more if we could! Also half off martinis! read more

Mickey and Lucky made our visit a memorable one! The smoked old fashioned was incredible! So friendly and kind - can't wait to visit again!

Drinks were great (dirty martinis) but we ordered the "crispy wings" these wings definitely came out of a frozen bag - they were boiled - then served with sauce. So rubbery, soggy, and the worst wings I've had in years. read more

Cute speakeasy vibe with lively music and black and white shows on the tv. The bartender was amazing and very good at his craft and very personable. The espresso martini was great. Went back twice in one day! read more

MY Boyfriend and I popped in for the Happy Hour and was met with the friendliest waitstaff in Bubs and Bugsy! They are an absolute joy to interact with, and Bubs went the extra mile to write down a few other places where we could get great food and drinks on our next visit. We had the pork belly tacos and crab cake appetizers, and they were both as delicious as Bubs said they would be! Will definitely revisit the Bootlegger to try more of their menu items, and He can get another of their smoked old fashions. We liked that their Happy Hour was a bit later than most of the surrounding bars/restaurants. A 7pm Happy Hour was a great time, and it gave us a bit more time to look around at the Riverwalk before ducking in for a sip and a bite. Thank you Bubs for being great! read more

$36 for chips and one beer is robbery! Plus they included tip for one person. Not recommended at all! Plenty of other great places!

The Bartender (Mickey) is amazing his old fashions are the best I've ever had. He's friendly and helpful read more

This place is a must when going out in Savannah. The atmosphere is welcoming, the TVs play modern tv shows in black n white. The food and drinks are delicious. We had a charcuterie board which was perfect and espresso martini's which were delightful. The staff were friendly and entertaining. As a bachelorette party dressed to the nines in our 1920's dresses they made the experience more fun! Bugsy, Bubs and Lucky truly enjoy working there and provide an authentic experience. They took our pictures and even posed with us. I highly recommend next time you are in Savannah read more
