The Bootlegger

The Bootlegger is an authentic speakeasy bar located at 25-26 Lime Street in Aldgate, London, hidden inconspicuously between a Nando's and dry cleaners. This Prohibition-era-inspired basement lounge features exposed brickwork, vintage period photography, eclectic furniture, and copper-light installations evoking America's roaring twenties. Skilled mixologists craft premium cocktails as an art form using high-quality ingredients and creative techniques, delivering visually stunning drinks. The venue hosts weekly live music performances showcasing classic rhythms and features DJ sets on Friday evenings. Open Monday–Friday 4pm–late with private hire available weekends, The Bootlegger delivers authentic vintage ambiance and exceptional cocktails.
