    Hair grilled into the wing

    Wish I could give zero stars. We waited over an hour to get our food--not entirely unexpected given how busy it was, so I won't hold that part against them. But spending $50 on wings for two people and only being able to stomach seven says everything. The ranch dressing was so watery it might as well have been flavored water, and the wings tasted like they'd been microwaved the day before. To make matters worse, one of the wings had a hair cooked into it. I'm literally writing this while sitting in the McDonald's drive-thru just to get something edible. This was hands down the worst food I've ever had from a restaurant.

    I was a little underwhelmed by the food. The pimento cheeseburger was lacking pimento cheese in my opinion. I think there may have been a spoonful, but as the pimento cheese burger I wish it had a little more. Even in the photo, it's not really the star of the show. My friends got the chicken fingers and it was a large portion probably enough for two people. Service was good! It's a nice little bar with indoor and outdoor seating. I would try them again, but I'd just go for something different on the menu.

    Great food for local spot! Definitely a pub vibe so don't go expecting peace and quiet. Service was timely and polite.

    Had a dark and stormy with a perfectly fried trigger fish sandwich. Spicy Cole slaw was so good with fresh jalapemos. The Philly was also amazing with the dirty rice. Not much to look at on the outside but MAN we were impressed with the food, cocktails, and the excellent service. Top notch.

    Yelp! Clean outdoor seating and spacious parking lot when you drive up. Upon entering, everyone is friendly and appears happy that we are here. I love it. There are children here, I love the family atmosphere. Bae and I are excited to pick up food although there is tons of available seating. Bae got the county line wings mild with fries. I got the pimento cheese burger with dirty rice. Yelp! This stuff here is good. Y'all already know, good food, plenty of seats and nice peeps, I'LL BE BACK!!!

With lightning striking and heavy rain moving in, our first priority was getting the baby -- and ourselves -- to safety. We attempted to dock temporarily at Bootlegger Lounge's dock to reach a restaurant across the street, even offering to purchase drinks as paying customers to justify using their dock for a few minutes. The response we received from the staff, specifically the woman who came outside, was shockingly rude and completely devoid of compassion. Despite the fact that their dock was completely empty, the bar was nearly empty, and no one else was attempting to park there in the storm, we were told we could neither dock nor even anchor nearby. This forced us to head back into dangerous weather with a baby on board. A business that refuses to extend even basic human decency during a life-threatening storm -- especially when it would not have hindered their operations in any way -- is not a business I will ever support. Safety, kindness, and community should come before rigid and unnecessary enforcement of rules, and unfortunately, Bootlegger Lounge failed on all counts.

We were wondering why there's only a handful of bars in the area and why they all close early early like 10 it 11 pm. Regardless, we stayed till about 1 or 2 am, drinking and singing karaoke with the two other customers and the awesome bartender who picked out all the songs for us. There's a large open room behind the bar room which has some fold away tables setup. Looks like it could hold a crowd for busy nights or maybe if they have live bands? Bar is well stocked with your typical spirits and beers. We were only there one night so we didn't get to poke around too much.

The restaurant sits just a stone's throw from the ballpark where the Rocket City Trash Pandas play, so the whole place already has a fun, lively atmosphere before you even sit down. Now given the name "Prohibition," I half expected someone to knock on the door and ask for a secret password like it was 1927. Back in those days, enjoying a drink required secrecy, dim lights, and maybe a jazz band playing in the corner. Today, things are a little easier... though for this non-drinker, my order was simple: water on the rocks, hold the lemon. I prefer my water about 100 proof for maximum flavor. My boss and coworker grabbed seats at the bar while we looked over the menu. We kicked things off with the Pork Belly Burnt Ends and the Pork Bao Buns. Let me tell you, those Pork Belly Burnt Ends were an absolute masterpiece. They came out crisp and seasoned just right with a little spicy kick. Served with raw carrots, homemade pickles, and lettuce wraps to bundle those little jewels together--downright tasty. If food had a Hall of Fame, these would already have a plaque on the wall. The Pork Bao Buns were good as well, but they simply couldn't match the grand slam the Pork Belly Burnt Ends delivered. For my main course, I ordered the Smoked Wangs with the Jala Mango seasoning and a side salad. The wings were delicious--cooked and seasoned to perfection. Every bite was solid. No bootlegging required. Prohibition definitely hit it out of the park today. Between the great food, the great service, and the fun atmosphere near the ballpark, this place is a must-stop for locals or anyone just passing through Madison. Our waitress tried pretty hard to convince us to order dessert, so I'm guessing their sweets are just as flavorful as everything else on the menu. The only problem I had today? I couldn't finish my meal. I was absolutely stuffed. If this had been the 1920s, the only crime committed here would've been leaving food on the plate. Great food. Great service. I'll gladly return--though next time I may need a little more room in the stomach.
