La Maison du Bootlegger
The old house of a smuggling speakeasy from the Prohibition era, with a hidden-door tour, a steakhouse dinner and live music, making it one of Charlevoix's most fun evenings.
La Maison du Bootlegger is a wooden house built in the 1860s. During the American Prohibition era it was a secret bar, and the interior still has hidden doors, concealed staircases and secret compartments. In the daytime you can join a 30-minute tour and hear stories of the rum-running days. In the evening it becomes a steakhouse, and in summer weekends there is often a live band, so the atmosphere is lively. It is in the countryside about 12 km west of La Malbaie, so you will need a car or a taxi. Be sure to book dinner in advance.
