About Cardiff Bootlegger
Live music, world class cocktails and craft beers. . An amazing and exciting atmosphere
Cardiff Bootlegger Description
Cradled in historic Womanby street, you will find The Bootlegger, an independent, Welsh family run business welcoming all who look for a friendly company, good conversation, and an amazing selection of Liquor. The Bootlegger is a bar for all times, a place without pretence. Our liquor, 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, Beers and Ciders all within a live music environment. We are excited to be part of the Cardiff community and welcome you all to come and feel at home in our bar.
Prohibition was a sad time in history when beer was banned, it lasted 14 years! On December 5th, 1933, the 21st Amendment was signed repealing Prohibition and restoring sanity and permitting the consumption of beer again! The Bootlegger continues to celebrate this momentous occasion today and every day.
Live Music and a great atmosphere are at the heart of the Bootlegger. We build on the very best of the 1920s and 30s swing and jazz scene and also offer more modern influenced Blues, Jazz, Soul and rock n roll.
Relax. Live. Enjoy. DRINK

What a wicked night! Awesome staff, good selection of tunes played and sound bouncers � would highly recommend this place for a good quality night in style �
What a quirky venue!!!
Had an amazing night - area reserved for our friends graduation party. Excellent music.
Cocktails were so tasty, could really taste the alcohol (not the usual glass full of ice scenario)
We will be back!
What a brilliant place. Relaxed atmosphere, welcoming bar staff and wonderful cocktail list (especially the whole page dedicated to espresso martinis!) - I'd def recommend the dark chocolate and orange one. The experience I had on my first visit was perfect, my new fave spot in town. Thanks for a great experience!
Very nice venue, I liked the atmosphere and the music that was played, soul, rock and roll, swing, blues and classic rock. Everyone was dancing and enjoying themselves. I will be going back for the amazing cocktails! Love the strawberry cheesecake!
Tried this place for the first time on a work night out. Great bar with friendly and unique atmosphere. The staff are wonderful - both knowledgable and friendly. Totally recommend it to anyone looking for a night out with friends or work colleagues.
The bootlegger was a great experience in cocktails and class last night! I'm a regular at the Bristol boot, and this was definatly worth the trip, highly recommend!! Cheers team! Big ups to Dan, King of the Dark and Stormy!
Such an amazing place! The happy hour cocktails are amazing and prove you can provide quality products at a decent price 2 for 10 and mix and match
Would definitely come back every week if my budget holds out!
Such a lovely atmosphere, and so different to any other bar in Cardiff!
I had such wonderful time in bootlegger this evening. Charlotte was so friendly and helpful. Such a lovely atmosphere and great music. Defiantly coming back soon.
Had a fantastic time here. The staff were so nice to keep hold of our table even though we were late (thanks to a lost taxi driver). Awesome night, great cocktails.
Great venue. We had our mates 40th there. Good band and entertainment. Happy hour until 10pm too. ��
Great to find this cool bar in Cardiff! Great Service from talented mixologists, amazing cocktails and Director and Co-Founder Lee, is an absolute Diamond! Thanks for looking after us so well! Can't wait to come back!

Cracking bar! Great beer, great cocktails and top notch hospitality with live music every night what's not to love! Can't wait for my next visit
Best kept secret in Cardiff . Another amazing venue from the Bootlegger team . Cocktails are to die for, music is just right but be warned it is highly addictive � looking forward to another visit real soon . Amazing !
Awesome place with good music and good drinks! We went into this place not sure what to expect... went upstairs and turned the corner! What a sick place! Completely unexpected, we missed the band but the music after was good!
