Bootleggers Lodge in Tomahawk, Wisconsin is an absolute gem. It delivers a truly high-end, boutique feel from the moment you arrive—set in a beautiful Northwoods location that feels both luxurious and cozy. The food is outstanding, the cocktail...
s are crafted to perfection, and every bite and sip feels intentional. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, striking that perfect balance between polished and warm. The custom, high-end rooms easily compete with 5-star hotels—stylish, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. Even my spouse, a certified hotel snob and proudly bougie, loved it and felt completely at home. A fun, elevated escape that somehow manages to feel relaxed and indulgent all at once.

We came in with 16 people and 7 if them were kids and we had a blast! Jacob our server and Alex our Bartender gave us exceptional service! With our big crazy family and all the special requests, they made the whole experience feel stress free. ...
The steak, French onion soup and bruchetta were crowd favorites but honestly everything we ate was delicious! Then we got smores kits for the dessert which was so cute and a big hit with the kids! And they even let us do it by the fire! The atmosphere, even in the bar area, where we sat was gorgeous and would be a beautiful place for a date night or just a fun nice night out! On behalf of our entire family thank you so much for an amazing evening!

It was my first time at Bootleggers, the atmosphere was really nice, all logs and great wood floors. The view of the lake would be great, it was dark when we were there so I could only see a bit. We were there with a large group of roughly 20...
people, for a Christmas party and food service was pretty smooth and The food was warm when it came out. The food was good, I had the strip steak, med rare, it was cooked exactly how I like it. The salad was slightly wilted but the maple vinaigrette was very good. The Créme Brulee was delicious. The bartenders could have been a bit more responsive. It wasn't busy and a couple of them were chatting to each other, not paying attention. I had to tap my glass on the bar and wave one down for a refill.

Service was slow. My table all got prime rib and all the steaks were very cold upon getting served. Waitress only could offer 1 free dessert in return. Very expensive for this type of service. Got two more prime ribs to go and they forgot the s...
