Bootleggers Lodge

The staff was very very accommodating

Amazing up north atmosphere, and the most stunning view of Lake Nokomis. Had a perfectly cooked Ribeye, really tasty pasta alla vodka, and the wedge salad was excellent. Bartender was also super knowledgeable about their wine selection and made great recommendations. Very reasonably priced for what you get. Will come back over and over again!!

Enjoyed cocktails at the bar and dinner, didn't enjoy the drunk party on the deck.

We just tried Bootlegger’s for the first time and were nervous after reading some of the reviews. However, I’m glad we decided to try for ourselves and happy to report our experience was the polar opposite of many of the reviews. We had a reservation for two at 4pm, which was the first seating for dinner. We were seated right away, had a friendly and attentive waitress throughout, and our meals were both excellent. The Tomahawk Chop was incredible - we will both be back just for that - and my husband loved his prime rib, which was tender and flavorful. Thank you for a wonderful date night - we will be back!

I wish I could give it -9 it was so bad they forgot our drinks gave us like no food and it took fooooooooever

Six in our party and no one happy. One served with cold vegetables. Took it back and still cold when returned. One served with cold baked potato. One had chicken Marsala and no taste whatsoever. Server never offered bread until we asked. Will never go back. Manager stopped by and offered free desserts to appease us. That was an insult.

It's such a great place. Perfect service and outstanding food.

Best steak dinner, drinks and the crab soup is amazing.

8 of my sister's and I ate here on 5/17/25 and we were definitely Disappointed! Our $50.00 a piece Prime Rib was an awful, toughest piece of meat we've had. The selection that came with the meal was limited and very small portions. The salad that came with the meal was bland. If ordering soup with your meal was another $12.00. We ordered the last 3 Bloody Marys, when they arrived at the table without any garnish, we asked about it, waitress said the bartender is working on it, why bring a drink to a table without proper garnishment! Our total bill was over $565.00 plus a $ 200.00 bar bill. For a subpar, tasteless meal means we'll never return! They're definitely disappointing! -0 rating😞

$36 for a one piece fish fry incl tip. Fish, tiny amount of coleslaw and fries. Water to drink.

Enjoyed fabulous Easter Brunch! I accidentally made reservations at the wrong restaurant, but thankfully, Brenda and her staff made modifications to their seating arrangements and accommodated our large party of eleven. Great service and cool vibe!

Food was phenomenal! The specials were really fun and fantastic, staff was knowledgeable and the wine list is awesome!

Brenda, AMAZING she shared the amazing beautiful rooms and the history that goes along with this establishment. She made my mother in laws 50th birthday party one to remember 100/10.
