La Maison du Bootlegger was a famous “Speakeasy” during the prohibitions years and is renowned today for it’s unique and original concept that offers you a memorable evening composed of a guided tour of it’s ingenious maze that links secret doors, hidden bars and private rooms followed by exquisite barbecue diner grilled on a real charcoal pit and a rock & roll show with Joey Tardif and the Bootlegger House Band. An evening to remember.

This historical site has a total of 11 rooms all with a hint of artistic grace tracing singer Joey Tardif. The current bulding was constructed in 1903 to replace the old one lost to fire in the same year. Open all year around to group up to 36 travellers.

Our band offers you a 2-hour show without intermission. Rockabilly, rock & roll and alternative style at their best! An electrifying evening where the expression « surviving the Maison du Bootlegger » takes on its true significance when changing into a dance club where people have fun and dance and alcohol flows freely just like during the Prohibition days.
In 1878, Canada voted the Prohibition law forbidding the sale of alcohol. Each Québec county would vote to authorize or not the sale of alcohol…Undeground bars, also known as Speakeasies, opened their doors. In 1940, an American opened the Club des Monts, officially a hunting club, with secrete rooms linked through a Labyrinth of narrow corridors, where you can even find a dedication by Elvis Presley. Alcohol was served and consumed illegally until 1964 when it finally became legal. This place today has become La Maison du Bootlegger. Lunch and bar service with a guided tour during the day. At night, it becomes a supper club.
