Why it's worth checking out
Bootleggers sits on King Street in Newtown, one of Sydney's most vibrant and creative inner-western suburbs. With 13 reviews behind its 4.3 rating, it has built a strong following.
The appeal is live music and drinks with a loyal following — a bar that's a great spot for a gig, a drink and a bit of atmosphere, in the eclectic, buzzing Newtown area. Its location makes it an easy and welcoming destination.
Drinks lists, events and trading hours change over time, and gig nights and weekends can get busy. To be sure of a spot and the latest details, it's worth checking directly with the venue before you plan your visit.
Spot Score
The Spot Score is our composite of five signals — two about the venue's standing with visitors and three about how complete and current this listing is. It is not a visitor rating and not a verdict on the food or the experience. The 4.3 from 13 reviews is Google's visitor rating, shown separately and never altered by us.
