Volstead House - Whiskey Bar & Speakeasy Eagan

Highly recommend… took me a minute to find. You have to walk through the Coke Machine in the back of another restaurant. The vibe is cool, and the Whiskey (and Whisky) selection is great! Kole is an awesome bartender… he only poured me one rye neat, but I was sitting at the bar watching him put out some epic looking cocktails. Awesome experience.

I reserved the entire space for a celebration on a Saturday night. Ben Yau (Multi Unit Manager, Events & Catering) was very easy to work with in getting it set up, food ordered, and the details figured out. It turned out to be a wonderful night for the 70-ish people I had there!! Thanks very much to Ben and his team to make it a memorable event for everyone!!!

Great signature drinks and unique food choices. The bar being open to the patio was a nice touch and the speakeasy decor made it special.

A very cool hidden gem. Try the signature house cocktails. Excellent!!! At least one has a very cool hidden secret delivery. Can’t wait to come back next time I’m in town.

Loved this fun place! Great atmosphere and helpful staff who make good recommendations. Drink menu is so big, their help comes in handy! I can’t wait to go back and sit outside this summer!

Volstead House is a must-visit, especially if you're into whiskey. They have a massive selection, so there's plenty to choose from, and the drinks are excellent. One of the coolest features is that you can get your drink smoked, which adds a unique twist. The staff was awesome, making the experience even better. The speakeasy vibe is really cool, and the atmosphere is great, with a nice patio and garage doors that open into the bar and restaurant areas. Plus, the food was really good too. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for a night out.

The drinks were excellent, the food tasted great, the only issue was with my sandwich the little horsey the roll was very dry and the meat to bread ratio was off. If the roll was toasted that would have been something. Spare a few more slices of beef. The sauce was very tasty but not enough to battle the dry bread sadness. The fries were some of the best.

Absolutely loved this place! Came here yesterday; and it has a really cool vibe. The bar is in the back of a restaurant and the overall vibe is very chill and upscale. Their alcohol list is insane! There’s over 100s of options and choices to choose from. I ordered a whiskey sour with parm fries and my experience was absolutely amazing. I would absolutely return! Also, the bartender working was absolutely amazing!! The drinks he made were delicious.

Ok....it's one thing to love this place for it's atmosphere as a 'Speakeasy'. Another to love it for it's superb selection of bourbons, rums and other libations. Even more, the side food items offered as accompaniments to the liquor, but sometimes the names of drinks conjure up something beyond that! Here's a sequence of photos I took on a recent visit. The drink: The Devil Made Me Do It. served in a hollowed out bible, with a flask inside. The flask contains the voodoo potion! The photos are un-touched, and the sequence goes as drink was delivered. (Served in a hollowed out bible.) Photo 1. This pic shows the full glass, empty flask and 'carrying case'...! Photo 2-Drink getting a requested smoke box treatment. The door is being lifted and I wanted to capture the smoke over the drink. Photo 3-peer into the smoke behind the drink...you decide...! Something was waiting!! What do you think?? (PS my wife was with me when I took this series of pictures. No images were manipulated in any way!!! Time of day--about 4pm.

Hey Travoodies Hey Volstead House Whiskey Bar & Speakeasy has become one of my favorite spots in Minnesota. Located inside Burgers and Bottle in Eagan, this amazing atmosphere screams speakeasy vibes from the aesthetics. I enjoy it. The wait staff are so pleasant. : This is my typical let's grab a drink spot with occasional food. As the objective this go around was to have good drinks the table ended up grabbing a couple of bites. There was the duck wontons and the Parmesan frites. They are both a go to and absolutely delicious. The duck wonton is so creamy and warm while the frites always seem to have the perfect amount of seasoning. : My drink is the go to while there.. the A La Louisiana. A classic rye whiskey cocktail hailing from New Orleans. If you are looking for a spot to grab drinks with friends or some yum food. This this is your go to! *********************************************** #HeyTravoodies #BlackFoodie #YelpElite #BIPOCTraveler #GlobalEating #CulturedFoodie #CulturedTraveler #EatingThroughCulture Like, Share, & Follow Me DM or Email for Collab

Egan's dining scene is typically uninspiring, but Vomstead is a refreshing exception. The warm ambiance and attentive service set the stage for a memorable meal. The menu boasts vibrant flavors and beautiful presentation, from perfectly seared steaks to fresh salads. Drinks are expertly crafted, enhancing the overall experience. The only downside is the use of factory-farmed meat; switching to sustainable sources would be ideal. Despite this, Vomstead is a standout in Egan, worth visiting for its excellent food and drinks.

Food 4/5 - The parm fries and steak bites were a great appetizer and quite tasty. Also love the fact that they have a mocktail menu. Service / Ambiance 5/5 - This is such a cool little spot! It has a dark/ ecliptic aesthetic and the bar area was very posh looking. I wish they still allowed you to smoke cigars inside or outside but unfortunately that wasn't allowed anymore.

A cute little Speakeasy in the back of Burgers and Bottles in Eagan. The first thing you notice is the wall of whiskey. Quite impressive! The room is small and a bit crowded but I have never felt "in the way" like you can at other similar bars/speakeasy's. Seating is first come first served so be prepared to wait for a table at peak hours. We have not waited more than 5-10 minutes for a spot, but we also tend to avoid peak hours. The food is solid. We've gotten the steak bites, fries, and burger. All are good choices. It's a mountain of fries, so be prepared to share! Cocktails are amazing! We have tried about 1/3 of the concoctions on the main menu and asked for a few off menu. All are very tasty. Be prepared for ingredients that you are not entirely familiar with, like Trakaakal, Nixta, Wovka, and the list goes on. The Banana Hammock is awesome but very spirit forward, not a fruity drink. Patagonia Parley is more of the sweet side and also a good one. They do smoked Old Fashioned's if you're into that. They also have live music frequently which is an beautiful touch for the space.

Pretty sweet cool place , great atmosphere, there was a Flapper singing at the time it was a pretty cool 1920's atmosphere loved it !! Server as very polite and fun and the food so far has been amazing !! Will Be back with a group !! Definitely a pretty amazing place to try out for sure !!

Pros: Drinks Cons: Overall service Details: We didn't have any food so I can't speak to that. We came here to go to the speak easy. We got on the waiting list and it took a couple of hours. It seemed like other groups came later and got in, and when i asked (nicely), it seemed like we got talked down to. Once we got in the drinks were good. Not a fan of the overall experience. There was live music that was just ok.

It's a nice little speaky in the back of a burger/ bar joint. We had a great time. Our drinks were good, I would say they were a little more on the strong side. Their duck wontons were my favorite. We ordered a variety of appetizers and a charcuterie board, the jam on the board was spicy and oh so delicious! Our waitress was friendly, and committed. She ran to the gas station next door to get us something we wanted. They have a great variety of drinks to pick from.

Stopped in for dinner after another 12-hour work day. Sat at the bar and had a great time. Dinner was their bourbon flatbread. It was good but not great. I deducted a star based on a pretty limited menu. That said, my flatbread was a flatbread instead of a rectangular pizza and I appreciated that. My drink is pictured. I only had one because the one the bartender (incredible depth of knowledge!) recommended after our discussion about what I like, what I have on my bar at home, etc. concluded. Absolutely loved it. Peaty but a different style of peaty. That's a bottle I'm going to have to find at a store. Neat place, enjoyed the keyboardist, pump up the menu a bit for the fifth star.

The speakeasy vibe was a little underwhelming but it was still a fun cozy little spot! Cocktails are definitely the highlight as there are limited food options. Favorites of our visit: -Grumpy Old Man: not as scotch heavy as anticipated in the best way for someone who doesn't like scotch and was a pleasant mix of flavors -Duck Wontons -Walleye Sandwich -Ample parking -Seated right away given they do not take reservations Also tried the Bourbon Flatbread, Burger and Seared Walleye which were decent but not as good as the Walleye Sandwich.

Good cocktails! Unique vibe- entering through the burger bar gives it the speakeasy vibe. Love the smokey aura entering the space. Great selection of cocktails on the menu, and they were willing to make me an off menu item. Lots of whiskey!!

This place was supremely cool when it opened. I know the speakeasy trend has come and gone, but I do still enjoy coming here. It makes for a great work happy hour or business meeting location if you come between 3:30pm and 5pm during the week. Casual vibes, pleasantly dim lighting, library bookshelf wall of liquor complete with ladder, bartenders with leather aprons and mustaches and flat caps, industrial design. My favorite drink I've ever had came from here - the "The Devil Made Me Do It." It's a mezcal drink with tobacco bitters that tastes exactly like smoking cherry cavendish pipe tobacco. It's served in a flask hidden in a dugout in a Bible, with an empty glass with a large ice cube on the side. Amazing taste and super fun presentation. Their other drinks have been good as well. They also have 4 pages of Whiskey's available, for the connoisseur in your life. Servers are helpful and knowledgeable. Food is expensive but delicious - my wife and I love the cheese curds which are served with a house-made jam dipping sauce. Their charcuterie board is also very good. I feel like every time I go, there is a different policy on whether a reservation is required or not (or even an option). When we first started going, you pretty much had to expect a 30 minute to 1 hour wait.

They serve food here? It's a complete after thought. Ok sure there's a food menu, but chances are that's not what you're coming here for. Volstead is a speakeasy, an ode to the American prohibition. Sure I may not be a drinker by any stretch of the imagination, but what lies behind these curtains is nothing short of remarkable. It honestly feels like every liquor known to man is at your disposal. The drinks menu reads like an encyclopedia! Yes, that is your bartender on a 20 ft latter at the wall of endless liquor l.... All in all, this might be the coolest looking restaurant I have ever been to. From the lighting to the seating and decor, all meticulously thought out. Volstead transports you to a different time.

I really like bananas so I order the cocktail that says banana. I could barely drink it. Why? Because apparently it is one of the strongest drinks on the menu so don't bounce in hoping for some soft banana delight. The ambiance and look and feel of this speak easy is what makes it. I've visited quite a few times and they are always out of one of the food items I order. I find that to be a pattern now. The music is always great in here and the staff are very friendly. Intimate space if you are going on a date and want to set the mood.

An unassuming speak easy that is so relaxing and cool at the same time! Definitely check out the huge whisky list and I recommend getting it smoked!!! Adds so much flavor to the whisky! Comfortable atmosphere and a huge selection of spirits!!! The service was amazing as the bartenders were fast and the food was great!!!!

Excellent food, service, cocktails, and patio! Sat outside in a Friday night enjoying live music. The old fashioned was out of this world. Seared walleye was served with asparagus, also delicious. Staff was extremely friendly and at tentative. Go through the burger restaurant to go to Volstead House in the back.

We've been here for birthday and anniversary celebrations. It's perfect when you want a "fancy" evening but want to stay in the suburbs. Their cocktails are incredible! Atmosphere and service are great. Definitely recommend!

Enjoyed this little speakeasy space. If you drive up only to see Burgers and Bottles, don't worry, you're in the right place. The space is dark and loud, like you could have probably expected an actual speakeasy of the 1920's to be. The loudness actually got to be a bit of a hindrance to conversation, but didn't stop my group from having a good time. They have an extensive drink list. If you're not sure what you might like, ask your server for a recommendation. I tried the Sideswipe (a different name for a Sidecar). That drink was superb. Also tried a few different apps, but my favorite was the pimento dip. Would love to come back in the summer and enjoy an evening outside.

Love love love this speakeasy bar! It took me a while to check this place out but I am glad I finally did. Entering from the bottles restaurant front entrance, there is an unassuming red barn door at the far end that you have to walk through to get to the bar, which has a complete opposite vibe. It's much more spacious and classy than I had expected. What I loved about this place is not only the beautiful interior deco, but the friendly servers, bartenders and the drinks!!!! We ordered the ruby rose cocktail, which uses an amazing spirit called Cocchi Americano Rosa from Italy I think. We also had the pistachio sour, which was off the menu but it's a twist of the Pismo sour cocktail except it's better!! Creamy, sour and oh soooo tasty. Sad but true though...my friend just returned to this bar a week later and was told they no longer can make the pistachio sour. No!!!! The great demise of a very memorable drink...if the owner or bartender is reading this, please please please bring it back!! I loved their drinks a lot I think I did several happy dances during my dining experience here. Oh and their whisky menu is so extensive, it is out if this world...

A total disguise as a speakeasy should be! Dim lights, huge display of liquor, cozy, welcoming, bar and table service, food available and just a gem of a find - this is is hidden within Burgers and Bottles. Once you enter, ask to go to the speakeasy and a server will guide you through the red door. We had to wait a little bit because it can get crowded but our server was really attentive and made sure we got seated and served in a quick manner despite not having a reservation. Whiskey is the #1 drink on the menu as they serve tons of whiskey drinks. Unfortunately, I don't do whiskey but there were other great various options to select from. I can't stress how good our server was - despite not ordering much, she kept checking in on us and was simply fantastic. The cherry on top was the guitar player strumming tunes. I would come back again (and try the food) for sure as it's totally magical!

The lady with the fun shirts is my favorite. Love the cocktails, but the food isn't great. Didn't knock off a star for the food because the service and drinks are stellar!

Although I've never eaten here, I CAN tell you how deliciously yummy well made special cocktails are! Its my second time, still delicious! Maja was our bartendress, not only is she one fabulous cocktail maker she's very knowledgeable, gave us an accurate account of whatever bourbon or whiskey we were looking fir. Maja made the experience a memorable one! We'll be back for sure

I love Volstead and how they are hidden behind Burgers and Bottles. They always have great cocktails and the largest wall of whiskeys in the area and even better appetizers and food. I always order the cheese curds with their amazing dipping sauce. I found out it isn't on the menu unless you ask for it, other than you can do them to replace fries. I have always been pleased with my meals and drinks here and was just as please with my Volstead burger I ordered today. It was cooked a little more than medium, but still very tasty.

I came across Volstead Whiskey house based on a quick Google search. I'm fairly new to the drinking scene, and I was amazed at the service and range of drinks available. Their whiskey bar and speakeasy lounge opens at 3PM, and my group was the only one there for the first half hour. We were able to enjoy the ambiance, and the bar manager gave us various insights to the drinks on the menu. The service was some of the best that I've ever experienced! Ruby Rose: -Cocchi Americano Rosa, Cocchi Americano Blanco, Ruby Red Grapefruit Cordial, Lemon, Sparkling Rosé -For someone who likes a more sweet beverage, this is the perfect one for you. Served in a beautiful glass goblet and topped with a slice of grapefruit, I could not stop myself wanting to order another! Pistachio Sour: -Central Standard North 40 Brandy, Pistachio Orgeat, Mathilde Creme De Peche, Lime, Egg White, House Bitters -This drink had the perfect blend of nuttiness from the pistachio mixed with the creaminess of the egg white foam and sharp taste of the bitters. Definitely well-balanced drink and something I would order again!   Overall, I had a phenomenal time at Volstead's Whiskey Bar and Speakeasy. The service was great, and I loved hearing about the history of various alcohols on their shelves. I would definitely recommend this location, and I will be taking my buddies here next time!

Whether it's two of you or a group of you, it's always a neat place to catch up. I'd recommend going early, since it can get quite busy. They don't take reservations and there are plenty of parking spaces. If you're not able to grab a seat right away, check out the menu of Burger and Bottles. ;)

The staff is the best! We go there often and always have the perfect evening! The drinks are awesome and the food is really good. Great atmosphere! Highly recommend!

Great ambiance! Unexpected delicious menu. A must try especially if you enjoy interesting cocktails

Food was great! Service was also great! Ambiance was very luxurious! Smoked Reverse Manhattan was delicious

My girl friend and I visited here after work on a Friday. It was quite when we first arrived because we got there right at opening (3:00pm). Didn't take long for the crowd to gather though, as by 5pm it was a packed house! We were seated in the speakeasy area because we came for drinks, and it is just a phenomenal space. The busier it is though the harder it is to hear - so conversing with your date is not going to be easy. I ended up losing my voice when I left because I was trying to talk over the noise lol. The drinks are phenomenal though. I had a whiskey ginger and it was a solid drink. Not many places know how to make a good whiskey ginger but this place does. If you haven't visited this location yet, and are looking for a fun speakeasy lounge or even new place to visit for drinks I'd suggest you visit here. Great environment, nice staff, amazing bartenders, and just an overall cool vibe and atmosphere!

The highlight and focal point is obviously on the whiskey and Volstead lives up to the hype. Floor to ceiling display of hundreds of whiskeys from around the world. Their Japanese selection is especially impressive and I was wow'd that they carried Taiwanese whiskey! Volstead's patio is just as nice - plenty of heat lamps and firepit tables. Even on a brisk fall night, I wouldn't mind sitting outdoors as there was more than one heat source available. Food wise we got burgers. It's not a memorable burger but it's decent, filling, and comes with a generous amount of fries. The Volstead burger comes with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, cheese, bacon. My friend ordered the Bacon Bourbon burger and said she could taste the bourbon sweet bbq sauce. Would I come back for a burger? No, but I would come back to try other menu items and enjoy some beverages on the patio. Shout out to the passion fruit sour ale on tap which was OUTSTANDING.

A friend living in Eagan recommended Volstead and I finally made it. We didn't have a reservation but lucked out on the night we went and got a great booth at the back of this tiny yet packed with charm speakeasy. We ordered the steak tips, cheese curds, and truffle fries (not pictured in the spirit of enjoying each others' company!) which were all delicious. The cheese curds came with a blackberry purée of some kind which was the perfect compliment. I had 2 glasses of cab and my friend had beer and a mixed drink. There was an acoustic guitar musician playing the whole time, setting the perfect ambiance. We honestly had a fantastic time and my friend left that evening very excited to take his fiancée there soon! And I've already been back once more!

Limited menu but good food, especially burgers, they were out of the tenderloin tips last night. Great old fashion! Not much for wine selection but make up for that with Whiskey!!

The liquor wall is wonderful to look at, admire, and trying to figure out the labels. The whisky list is impressive! (Know that they don't always have what's on the list.) The smoked Manhattan is a fave as well as other unique delectable cocktails offered in this dark wood, dimly lit environment. The "Eats" menu is heavy on the proteins & carbs. Not a vegetable or fruit in sight. Not even as garnish on the plate. Expect to pay more than you likely would for flatbread ($18) or roast beef atop smashed potatoes ($32). The server was (perhaps) overwhelmed because grinning, smiling, courtesy were not apparent in their demeanor. They may have been the only server in the room, which would help explain the slow -- read: inattentive-- service we received. Go here for the bar & drinks! If you want good options for food, find someplace else.

It's a speakeasy! There is no signage for this place, it is located in the back of a family burger place, but walk through that red door, and you'd think you were back in a real 1920s speakeasy. Except, this place has way more liquor than you would have found in the 20s. Seriously, I don't know where I've seen this many bottles of booze. They have a rolling ladder to get to the higher pours. My pot roast was tender and flavorful, and my drink (Test of Time) was extraordinary. And around 7pm on Saturday night a small band set up. It's a little space, but they did a good job not making it noisy, while adding to the ambiance. Service was attentive, and helpful. Definitely will be going back.

The burger was good but the 3rd patty seems like a gimmick. The fries were awful but the service is great and the atmosphere is really good.

This place was cool, but not taking reservations and horrible parking lot would make me not want to come back. The vibe is great and so are the drinks but we put our name on the list and we're told it would be a 45 min wait. Cool we sat in burgers and beers to have a drink. It took us almost 2 hours to be sat inside of Volstead. The Drinks are good but not 2 hours waiting good.

Disappointing. The Whiskey selection is impressive or at least it appeared that way until two in our party could not get what they wanted because they were out. Food was just OK. Waiter knew almost nothing about drinks, let alone whiskey. I sort of felt sorry for him.because he was clearly given no training.

We met friends for Happy Hour on a Tuesday. We were seated right away and by the time we left, around 6, the place was quite busy. Our friends and my husband all had cocktails that they said were good. Nothing spectacular, but good. We ordered the Duck Wontons which were delicious. Then shared some beef tenderloin tips with were okay. They were tender and done perfectly, just nothing to write home about. The last thing we shared were smoked bourbon flatbreads. These were extraordinarily ordinary. We have had much tastier flatbreads elsewhere. Our server, Dylan, was awesome! Attentive without being overbearing and VERY friendly. He was a lot of fun, which we truly appreciate. For the hype this place gets, we weren't impressed at all. Happy hour consists of BOGO wine and draught beers. No specials for food, which is unfortunate. Our bill was pretty hefty and I would say it definitely is NOT a good value for the money. Except our server being so enjoyable, we would not seek Volstead House out again for an afternoon or evening out.

Amazing bar!! Game set and match!! I make a few adventures to this bar. Very loud yet entertaining. Sometimes an Artist will perform.

We were all super excited to check out Volstead - and a party of six of us went around opening on a Saturday. The Speakeasy is located in the back of the restaurant behind a red velvet curtain. There was no one else inside, but a few parties out on the patio. Even though they'd just opened for the day our server had the patience and friendliness of a server who was right at the end of an exhausting shift. She was short and curt with her responses to our questions, and scolded us for looking at an outdated menu (which is the only one on their website right now - a winter menu in August). I can't even say which cocktails I ordered because they aren't on the menu that is listed for me to reference - but one was a gin and one was a vodka. The drinks were delicious and beautiful - the bartender was good at his job. The cocktails will put you back about $12 per, but I don't mind paying more for a mastered craft. We wanted some food, and started with the duck wontons, the cheese curds, and the parmesan fries. We couldn't taste one inkling of duck in the wontons which was disappointing, but the cheese curds were great. The fries were fries - just fine. We would have gotten more food and drinks but were so put off by our server's attitude that we decided to move on. I would try to check out the restaurant portion maybe if I was in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return again.

Handsome speakeasy with an insane selection of whiskey and really friendly people! Great appetizers and a fun place for a date night!

Really cool space with great service and fun drinks! We sat in a pretty tight booth so probably will just sit at a high top next time, but not a big deal.

Best craft cocktails and service in town!! The speakeasy has a relaxed and unique vibe to be enjoyable to anyone!

Really gone downhill over the years. Drinks are still fantastic but service (which started as great) has been lackluster at best. Sometimes they act as though you being there is an inconvenience for them. The host just states it will be 30-45 minutes with burgers and bottles being empty we asked if we could get one of their drinks and sit in burgers and were told no with no explanation as to why. Too bad as we did really like this place.

Recommend by hotel front desk. It is in the same building as Burgers and Bottles (very confusing). Highly recommend. Duck Wontons are excellent. Also recommend "Call Me A Cab". Now frantically searching for Date Infused Vodka.

Great cocktails, huge selection of whiskies and an eclectic menu. Would have given 5 stars but blasting loud, heavy grunge music on the patio is too much...

Ok first a confession- I love bourbon! I had to check this place out and I do recommend! The bar staff actual know how to MIX not just pour beer! Amazing selection and nice combinations! Food is pretty good too to help mediate the bourbon intake Honestly if you only have time to try one place in Msp this is high on that list!

We go here once a year while we are in Eagen. The staff is always nice and fun to engage with. Do yourself a favor and have the peanut butter burger and a whiskey sour.. TIP.. the whiskey bar and all the action IMHO is behind the velvet curtin.. chill date night vibe. #gohere

My sister and I met at Volsteads tonight for a drink and some apps. As always the Old Fashioned and other craft cocktails were beautifully made and I still love the King Cubes which don't result in a watered down drink right away. The service was fantastic and the parmesan fries were good and a generous size, but needed much more fryer time for some crunch. We also got the Charcuterie tray which was beautiful and included a really nice collection of cheeses and meats as well as some dried and fresh fruits. The prices are a little high, but the quality is definitely there to support it! The one thing to keep in mind is how loud this place is! I came for a conversation and even at a small high top table we ended up having to read lips and almost yell at each other. By the time the crowd cleared out enough to be able to hear each other a little bit, a musician came and set up behind us. Now...the musician was fantastic...so there is that...but it was Loud!! You are in a tiny place...why does it need to be so loud? Honestly, that would keep me from returning since while I do love live music, and he was a terrific musician, there needs to be a balance in how loud it is because people do come to be able to have a conversation too. That is really my only complaint otherwise a great experience!

Loved the vibe of this place. My only concern is that the tables were way too close for typical COVID protocol. We ordered the ruby rose, Apple drink, the cobbler drink, and some whiskey to drink. Everything was DELICIOUS! For appetizers, we got the steak bites and the Parmesan fries - so good! I literally can't wait to go back just to have the steak bites again! For dinner we shared a pizza. It was okay. The crust was too floppy for our liking and didn't really leave an impression after those amazing drinks and appetizers. Would probably stick to a burger or other appetizers next time.
