Bootlegger's Brewery

A very nice place to enjoy some beers with friends. I love the atmosphere when I visited.. the music was playing and the whole brewery was alive with chatter and laughter. There was luckily heating lamps because it got really cold during the night. I got the michelada and the worker recommended his favorite beer with it. The michelada went down easily and hands down in my top 3 places to go for micheladas. I can't wait to come back and sample their other beer selections/try their quick bites.

I want to start with I loved everything from the food to the atmosphere but something happened at the end that drops this down to 2 stars. I went for trivia night and I feel like they can go a bit faster with questions but whatever, it was a two hour event and yeah it was fun. I wish it wouldn't be just on a phone that we're inputting answers but again, whatever, it was great and fun. I tried the Earth to Planet Mango IPA and BLT and both were delicious, the fries and fried pickles it comes with were superb. I've never had fried pickle spears but oh mama it was great. Ok, the two stars: all night the trivia host is reminding you to tip your servers because they're working hard and blah blah blah. At the end of the night, our server comes along with the giant tablet to close our tab. She lists everything you ordered to confirm it's all correct, says the total price, and hands you the tablet open on the tip page, you add your tip, and then you can request the receipt via print or email. I looked at the email and was shocked to see 18% percent gratuity had already been included. So I ended up adding a tip on top of the already added tip. Pretty nasty trick to get more tips and left me feeling pretty sour after having a wonderful time there.

Decent beer and decent food. The service was great. Ordered some lumpia and they were great but i feel like they could have given me a couple more for the price.

Filipino tacos , they brew their own beers. Filipino American resto-brewery. Very yummy.

First time here. The service was great, staff was friendly and welcoming. For being a Friday night it was just perfect amount of people not too crowded. Order the carne asada fries and bootleggers burger. Food was delicious. It's cool little spot to go, it was fun. They have a wide selection of beer.

Fun brewery with nice sized patio, pet friendly and house small bites (a bit overpriced for the sizes). Friendly and attentive service. A very nice selection of craft beers... again, very nice!Clean restrooms with multiple stalls.Parking is limited but also plenty of street parking on Santa Fe Ave 2hr 7am-6pm or walkable parking structure down the street towards Malden... to walk off those beers haha!

Great dog friendly place to grab a beer and some comfort food. Friendly staff and warmers outside if getting cold.

We come here a lot, lol. We live super close so it's always one of our go-to spots when we want good vibes, beer and food. Now that we have a baby, it's always one of our go to places that's baby friendly! Beer is good, food is good (although I do miss the chili cheese fries) and service is great. We come often enough that they know us here, which is amazing! Parking is easy and they have live music on Friday nights, which is when we usually go. :)

Bootleggers has changed since I wrote my review in 2017. Covid really changed things in Fullerton, and Bootleggers had to adapt to overcome and survive.They now have a full menu. The beers are the same quality, and their standard beers have not changed. The food, while not amazing, is pretty good, standard brewery stuff. They still innovate and put out new beers too.Gone are the days of coming here to chain smoke and chat with strangers like it's an outdoor night club that is open all day. It's now a table service style place, where they take your order and bring you your food and drinks. That's fine. In fact, the vibe shift is probably for the best. As my last review indicated, there were some issues with vibe clashes between families trying to have a wholesome good time vs degenerates like me looking for a place to get drunk and smoke cigarettes.Bootleggers has clearly decided that families are better for business. Begrudgingly, I can accept that this was the right choice for them.Give them a shot. You will enjoy it.
