About The Bootlegger Bar Katoomba
The Bootlegger Bar on Bathurst Road in Katoomba is a local family-friendly speakeasy that has earned a reputation as a haven for lovers of smoked culinary delights and innovative libations. Taking pride in crafting exquisite smoked meats, each bite bursting with rich, smoky flavours that leave guests craving more, Bootlegger doesn't stop at just food - its smoked drinks are a true testament to a dedication to the art of smoking. Pair a Liquid Smoke cocktail with starters like corn on the cob with smoked cheese, parsley, lime and paprika salt; before low and slow offerings such as brisket, pulled pork, wings, slaw, corn, pickles and fries, or slice your knife into perfectly cooked ribeye with slaw and fries. Finish sweetly with salted Banoffee cream pie, caramel and banana.
