We enjoyed a happy hour dinner at this lovely new restaurant recently. We appreciate the CLASSY speakeasy vibe. So fun! The service is impeccable and the menu is upscale, especially for it's location. My husband and I both ordered an old-fashioned with Makers. They were delicious and at half price! My husband ordered the wedge and creamed spinach since he had a large lunch that day. He was not impressed with either dish, unfortunately. The wedge had little toppings and the creamed spinach felt canned-ish. I ordered the sea bass. The mushrooms, broccolini (while a tad too el Dante), were both delicious with the yummy mashed potatoes. The Seabass had great flavor, but was definitely undercooked. This place is fresh off the press so they get lots of grace. Some friends of ours came the exact same day for lunch and enjoyed the fish and chips, deviled eggs, and the burger. Pics included. read more

We stopped into Volstead on a whim--our first night out since having a baby--and we couldn't have picked a better spot. The prohibition-style ambiance was cozy, intimate, and just what we needed to feel like ourselves again for an evening. The highlight of our night was the bartender, Fabian, who absolutely hooked it up. Our first round of drinks was creative and expertly crafted. For the second round, my husband told Fabian that "you can drive," and wow--he delivered. He introduced us to a cocktail we'd never even heard of before: the Vieux Carré. It was incredible. Complex, smooth, and absolutely unforgettable. This place is a whole vibe, and the drinks? Unreal. We can't wait to come back (hopefully not too long from now--shoutout to our babysitter). Cheers to Volstead and to Fabian for making our first night out as new parents one for the books. read more

This place is quite the hidden gem! You walk in and you immediately feel like you've stepped back in time. The ambiance is breathtaking! And their back bar is beautiful! You must try the espresso martini...delicious!! The service was top-notch and everyone was so nice! Highly recommended this spot! They have a great happy hour and brunch on the weekends! read more

Big thumbs down. Overpriced. No vibe. Service was fair. Food was yuck, came out cold. Manager took it off the bill but was no good even warm (chicken parm). read more

I'm writing this from the bar at Volstead, a very cute bar and restaurant located in a strip mall, inspired by prohibition era speakeasy's, this place is not lacking in vibes. I can definitely see getting dressed up with girlfriends and making a night of it here, although at 5:00pm on a Monday evening, things are much more casual. Couple of people working from the bar top on their laptops brings a more inclusive atmosphere that won't turn you down for showing up in a graphic t and cargo shorts. We came during happy hour (lucky for us) so we wanted to take full advantage. I ordered a bootleggers blossom and my husband got a clover club cocktail. Both were good, they were out of the maraschino liquor so subbed simple syrup for mine, I'm sure it would have been better with the original maraschino liquor but still was quite pleasant with the substitute. I later ended up getting an old fashioned which was relatively standard. Onto the food; we got quite an assortment of things to try out. Coming during HH really paid off here. Cheeseburger tasted kind of like an elevated McDonald's, and I truly don't mean that in a bad way. I devoured my half quite quickly, it also came with a seasoned pickle which was a nice little change of pace. The pressed sushi was good. We also got the prohibition sampler, which has oysters Rockefeller, beef Wellington bites, and Maryland crab cakes. If you get this, you need to eat immediately. The beef Wellington bites had cooled completely by the time we ate them and while the taste was good, they were slightly off putting at the cooler temperature. Crab cakes were good but ultimately nothing from the sampler was really stand out star worthy. This might sound ridiculous but the popcorn chicken was actually really delicious; fresh and tender and had this paprika forward seasoning that was really yummy. Would highly suggest trying. We couldn't leave it at that so of course we also got the kanzuri shrimp- would definitely recommend, and also the hot honey pepperoni flatbread- really tasty pizza and again would highly recommend. Overall, this place is totally a vibe. The bartender Greyson, took great care of us and I would love to come back to try more things off their menu while sipping on some kind of fabulous cocktail. read more

This was our 2nd time with friends coming to Volstead. We went right after happy hour so no 1/2 price martinis for us this time. The atmosphere of this speak easy is a little upscale without being stuffy. Our table was a great spot to watch the bartender & people watch. I always judge a place by their espresso martini & I'm a picky one. This one was so good! You could taste the espresso & it was the right amount of creaminess. My friend & hubby got dirty martinis & enjoyed. The blue cheese olives were so good & not mushy. My friend's hubby got an old fashioned & said he enjoyed it. For our meal, we ordered a couple of apps to share & I ordered the miso sea bass for the 2nd time. My sea bass was cooked perfectly & so good. No idea what the sauce is that they smear on the plate & drizzle on the fish, but it's amazing. Nice size portion of fish too. My husband had the Prohibition Sampler & enjoyed the crab cake & Rockefeller oysters. He said the beef Wellington bite was more of a deconstructed version & just ok. For his meal, he had the poblano soup & said it was very flavorful. Our friends shared the spinach artichoke dip & the hot honey pepperoni flatbread on the cauliflower crust (gluten-free option). They both said the pizza was very good & a big portion. They enjoyed the spinach dip too. Our server brought my friend sliced cucumbers so she had a gluten-free option for the dip. The service, food, & drinks were all outstanding. We'll definitely be back & will try to make it to happy hour next time. read more

The food was delicious! I stumbled upon this spot because I needed take a colleague out, and needed somewhere close to our office. It's a very intimate speakeasy vibe. All the food we had was delicious: grilled oysters, spinach dip, sea bass, and red snapper, and key lime for dessert. All entrees were cooked to perfection. The servers were attentive as well. The only thing I noticed is that the cocktail prep wasn't consistent. The first cocktail was amazing but when I ordered to same drink again, I had to send it back to be remade. read more

Great ambiance, service, drinks and food! Best raw oysters too, love this little bar!

Everything is perfect!!! I've been here twice in the last 2 weeks. They have the best lemon drop martinis in the DFW area. A different bartender made it each time so they have a great recipe! The French dip is huge (large enough to share) and very good. The atmosphere is perfect for conversation. Light music plays in the background at a volume that is calm and soothing. I'm lucky to live so close. read more

Third visit for hh on a Thursday and unfortunately the small drink portions of pre-made craft cocktail old fashions persist ( and I thought "craft" was made custom) but not here. Additionally, the hh drinks prices were increased by about 33%, no longer 1/2 off and hh food specials shrunk. I am attaching the new August 2024 released menu. I saw nothing on website indicating this change. My crew of 4 agree we will move on as the noise and no so comfortable seating at the bar coupled with price increases no longer makes this place enjoyable. read more

This place is such an amazing hidden gem. The crispy deviled eggs are such an amazing surprise to the tastebuds (and a must). The French onion soup is incredible. And the fries....don't get me started! Sofia was such a sweet, attentive waitress that offered many suggestions. Will DEF be back! read more

Brand new concept restaurant in Southlake next to mangoes. The concept is a speak easy style of place however it's lacking the "speak easy" feel. The lighting was too bright and the decor could use a bit of softening up- maybe add some velvet drapes to doorway openings. The restaurant was a bit smoky from the kitchen and we did end up leaving smelling like a kitchen so I'd definitely add some better ventilation. The food was ok for the price. However, my potatoes were cold and the chicken could've been a little less soggy. The French dip was good but it has the potential to be so much better if you add some grilled onions to it. The crispy rice salmon was good. Drinks were only ok. It didn't rock our world but they are new and could be working out the nuances. Service was good but the check came quickly after we finished eating so we felt like the young lady was ready to get us out of there. Overall, not bad and I hope they take the genuine feedback. read more

Bartenders are great, take the time to actually talk to the bar guests. Eclectic liquor selection. Food quality is top notch. One of few options for late night (not your typical fried bar) food in the Southlake/Grapevine area. read more

We were trying to celebrate my husband's birthday. This was our second visit. When we came the first time, it was nice. We were sat our in open area to watch the ambience of the room, the bar televisions, etc. Great food and drinks. Second time they put us far right in last booth by stinky bathrooms, 2 loud teens doing gymnastics next to our chairs while their moms drank wine and ignored their loud voices and gymnastics , and the entire waitstaff walking by our booth with their loud yelling from the kitchen of "ORDER!" . It was MISERABLE. Never going again. read more

Finally had the time to visit and eat here with my friend. He and I loved our food, can't wait to try more on the menu. Also I loved the tea it wasn't watery like most. We loved the ambiance nice cozy place. Service was attentive and friendly to. We enjoyed the music as well. I will certainly go back. read more

This place was adorable and their deviled eggs were phenomenal!! Have the filet for sure!!! This place was great and we have eaten some fantastic places in Ireland, such as Adare Manor and Guinness Castle. This place was up there with Michelin restaurants!! read more

Fabian and Haegen are great bartenders, demonstrating a very welcoming atmosphere. They take the time to learn and recall customers' names, which is a notable aspect of their service. I appreciate the vibe of this place, particularly as a bourbon connoisseur. Volstead has a speakeasy-like atmosphere. I highly recommend this place and anticipate returning in the future. Due to my current medication, I am temporarily in time out from adult beverages for a few more weeks. I look forward to trying their Old Fashioned when I am able to do so again. read more

A great concept poorly executed. It goes to great pains to create a roaring 20's atmósfere complete with bouncer at the door and then go and spoil the mood by blasting contemporary music as loud as possible. The magic was destroyed. The food is mediocre at best and overpriced. I hear the drinks are fantastic but that is not my thing. This place could be great with a little attention. read more

Love the ambience of this place. Once inside, it totally defies the fact that you are in a strip shopping center. It truly does feel like a speakeasy. Drinks are always good. Happy hour ends at 6 PM, so I recommend getting there early to take advantage. The food items that I have had there have also been very good. Their appetizers are wonderful and the fried deviled eggs are a must try. read more

Really enjoyed our first visit and will definitely be back. The food and bar service was great, especially for such a new establishment. We had the fish and chips which really might be the best outside of the UK. read more

Nice ambiance, friendly staff and the chocolate moose cake was delicious. Highly recommend for a nice night out

Opened the door of this restaurant on our way to a different restaurant next-door. Loved the ambience and decor and took a look at the menu. Saw some interesting items so we decided to sit down for lunch. The food was excellent. We got the appetizer sampler, included oysters Rockefeller, beef Wellington bites, and crabcakes. Delicious. The poblano cream soup was also really good, very flavorful. They split the chicken cob salad in the kitchen for us, which was really nice. Yummy salad, delicious citrus vinaigrette. My husband is extremely particular about his cosmopolitan drinks and the bartender, Slade, nailed it. One of the best cosmos my husband has had at a restaurant (versus making them himself at home). Staff was super friendly and attentive. We will be back. read more

Food and drink at its finest! Awesome decor and super friendly/professional staff! Deviled eggs are so good! Burger and truffle fries melted in my mouth. And the cocktails were a joy to see made and the mixologist was very talented at her creations. I'd go back today! They have a happy hour also. Do yourself a solid and check it out. read more

My wife and I have been here several times and it's always a hit! The happy hour specials are awesome, the deviled eggs are to die for.

Great ambiance and wonderful drinks! Our bartender was amazing! The style of the bar is great, cozy and friendly.

Great atmosphere. The food is not "worth" the price. I had the steak and it came with the smallest amount of steak and a literal plate FULL of fries, I should have taken a picture. We ordered and appetizer and I had a chip drop into my drink. It was replaced but the drink was made wrong so I sent it back. I was told to just sip on it till my correct drink arrived. When it did I again gave the drink back and was told to just keep it. When by bill arrived there were three drinks vs the two original drinks we ordered. I told the waitress, she said no worries and it would be taken care of. A few minutes later the bar tender came over and questioned me about the drink I tired to send back saying it was the same. It wasn't the same. I explained myself and he assured me it was no issue. When I revived the bill the second time the drink was still on there! I was with my family so I didn't raise a stink but what a horrible experience. The waitress was great but other than that....cold food and BAD SERVICE. Go for a beer at Chili's instead. read more

Not sure on the food, but I walked in, waited ten minutes, and nobody came to say anything so I left. The ambiance was nice tho.

Great cocktails, food was delicious. Their hamburger is excellent. The interior is intimate and warm.

Drinks were chilled, food was great, staff were dressed in character and attentive, and really good ambiance. Its a small bar but really fun for happy hour. I was there with about a dozen ladies. They took really good care of us! read more
