Volstead

We LOVE this place! The waitstaff is always friendly and attentive and they go out of their way to remember your name. They have a super yummy brunch on the weekends, and literally the best espresso martini EVER! They host different themed events throughout the year also, so make sure and follow them. Kevin, Hagen & Fabian are just some of the amazing people who work there!

Our monthly couples' dinner was at Volstead this month. From the decor to the furniture, the vibe was spot on! We agreed that the Tiki Rum Runner was the best drink on the menu. My favorite appetizer was the crispy deviled eggs. Hubby agreed. Hubby ordered the fish and chips, and I ordered the parmesan truffle fries and hot honey pepperoni flat bread. All three were very delicious. For dessert, we ordered the key lime pie and the creme brulee. They were both pretty good. We all had a great time and will definitely return.

Dropped by here for brunch unplanned and were pleasantly surprised! The service was great, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere is very nice. We ordered following sides: potatoes, pancake, and fruits. Everything was delicious and huge portions. As far as the oysters go, the fresh oysters were a bit on a smaller side, and the cooked once were a bit grainy/sandy. But it wasn’t a big enough deal for us, however, I can see how this might be something to note for someone who’s more familiar with oysters.

Slade the bartender is the bomb!! 5 stars all the way. Bartenders are amazing and very talented! Food was excellent! Eggs Benedict, Ribs were so good!

What a fun place with great drinks and food. The servers are always happy to offer their recommendations on food and drink based upon your tastes. The crispy deviled eggs are amazing, but you can't go wrong with anythingon the menu. Very highly recommend Volstead. We bring friends often, and they all agree.

We enjoyed the sea bass and the red snapper. Will have to return for brunch and happy hour. The menu had small writing so initially I misunderstood the price and it turned out to be higher than I thought for each entree.

Top to bottom a delightful experience. Excellent cocktails. Food was delicious. Service was perfect. Will definitely return!

Great experience at Volstead! The food was good, but the drinks, the atmosphere, and our server Kelly really stood out. The espresso martini was incredible—one of the best I’ve had. Kelly was super friendly, gave great recommendations and made my day. Highly recommend!

Volstead in delivers excellent food, flawless service, and a polished speakeasy atmosphere. We ordered the A5 Wagyu, salmon entrée, and chocolate mousse cake--all three were outstanding. The Wagyu was melt-in-your-mouth tender, the salmon perfectly cooked, and the mousse a rich but balanced finish. Service was attentive and warm, making the whole evening feel special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an elevated dining experience in Southlake.

very unassuming from the main street, and pleasantly surprised with the interior decor and inside. We didn't make reservations and got seated right away. However, we did go around 8pm... so not sure if that was after the dinner crowd. When we went, there were still people eating and drinking inside. We ended up getting the items below. Prohibition Sampler $14 oysters rockefeller, beef wellington bites, maryland crab cakes Steak Frites $39 sliced tenderloin filet, creamy peppercorn sauce, sautéed onions, parmesan-truffle fries Honey Truffle Chicken $28 lightly crusted, whipped garlic mash, creamed spinach Espresso Express $16 Hanson Espresso Vodka, Doughball Cookie Dough, Coffee Simple, Espresso, Licor 43, Sweet Cream The sampler was a nice choice as it allowed us to try different items, Each item came with two small bites. As for the two entrees, i enjoyed the honey truffle chicken moreso than the steak frites. Chicken was juicy and the outside was crispy. However, i have to admit the fries that came with the steak were extremely addicting. They have a regular happy hour and a reverse happy hour, which is 1 hour before they close.

Friendly service, cool atmosphere and food was good and quality. Happy hour is a nice deal. Definitely a return visit!

Volstead is a wonderful place! Ambience is refreshing - cool, quirky and intimate - perfect for drinks or a delicious meal. The service we received from Jake on a recent visit was top notch! He accommodated all our requests and the kitchen went above and beyond assisting us in gluten free food.

I just love the drinks here and the vibes of this place! Everyone working here was very upbeat. The strawberry mule was incredible! The layout is gorgeous. Unfortunately, food-wise I'll need to try more items. The popcorn chicken was okay, but needs more sauces than ketchup. The fries are okay. The pressed tuna sushi's rice was really hard and had a slight refrigerated taste. I still gave it four stars because I'd love to get drinks here again.

Food, service, and ambience are above and beyond. Will was awesome! I'm definitely going to tell my friends about it!

We checked this place out for a date night and it did not disappoint! The interior is super cool looking and the bar and drinks were a big hit with my husband. Our service was awesome, the waitress and manager checked in with us frequently and were incredibly attentive. Everything came quick, hot and with all the modifications requested. Now the food was delicious and we tried items from the raw bar, appetizer menu, entrees and dessert. Everything was so good but my favorites were the prohibition sample, specifically the crab cakes. As a Maryland girl I have never had a Maryland style crab cake in TX that tasted as good as this one. I also really enjoyed the spicy salmon crispy rice. It is presented in a sushi style but has more of a smoked salmon flavor that worked incredibly well with the avocado and Asian flavors. Finally, the serving sizes were really great. We shared the fish n chips and the split serving felt like a full serving.

Pretty dead at 6pm on a Saturday night. Just a couple of loud couples at the bar. Almost felt like the Z Grill crowd found a new place since their closure. #iykyk Drinks and food were decent. Odd that they brought everything all out at once. Salads. Soup. Entree. The small table filled up pretty quickly. Not sure what the point of that is?

I was looking forward to trying this restaurant as I'd heard it's the sister restaurant of Tycoon in Flower Mound which we love. But our experience here was average. Started out with some cocktails which were great so that was positive. The restaurant overall is super small so even though we were only a party of 2 we were squished between parties on both sides of us and barely had room to keep my coat next to me. For apps we had oysters which were nice and fresh. We also had the fried rock shrimp which was tasty but they went overboard on the cilantro. For dinner I had the blackened redfish and the flavors were there but was dry and overcooked. My husband ordered a medium rare filet which came out medium well so they had to cook a new one so my food just sat in front of me getting cold while waiting for his new plate. So that was a huge bummer. They did give us a free glass of Prosecco to make up for it which I appreciate. We also got a side of the truffle fries which were good and gave us something to snack on while waiting for the steak to be refired. Overall, barely a mediocre experience so don't think we'll be back.

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

Volstead is probably the best customer service experience I've had in a Bar setting since I came to the DFW area. It is a true to concept prohibition bar - dark, cozy, WELCOMING, yet quiet enough for m, a solo session or intimate conversation but also enough energy for a festive happy hour or cocktail meetup. So far I have only been there for happy hour - which is great (2-6p M-F) in comparison to nearby alternatives. I love places that have a set happy hour menu you can count on! Above all the 4 stars are for service. This is a place where the bartenders make eye contact, introduce themselves, ask you your name, and are attentive and actually make real conversation! I recommend Volstead to anyone looking for a sophisticated, low key, welcoming spot to enjoy - solo or with friends.

Super cute, eclectic speakeasy style bar and restaurant. Both drinks and food are delicious and service was great and friendly. We came here to celebrate a friend's birthday after playing some games at activate and had a great time.

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.

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!

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.

This place is great. Beautiful, warm decor and ambience with well made food and drinks (on both my visits). The service is friendly yet professional and I appreciate they do what so many other places don't: have their hostesses, bartenders and severs dress to match ambiance and price point. This place lives up to what it says it is and what we hoped it would be.

I've been watching this place as it was progressing and was glad to see that it finally opened. Arrived at 430 and it was PACKED standing room only. Thankfully I had a reservation so was seated promptly. Staff was all so helpful and friendly. The manager on duty(Cory I think) stopped by and checked on us too. Love the speakeasy vibe with low light and prohibition era decor - the only complaint was it was SO LOUD .. it was hard to hear my dinner date. Not sure if they do anything about that or not . It thinned out a little before we left so it was more tolerable. Food was delish! We tried the crab dip and split the French dip. I was stuffed! I got the Manhattan and hubs got the old fashioned happy hour price of 6.00 made it even more enjoyable. I'm looking forward to adding this place to my list of go to spots! Add it to the love list!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Love it! The atmosphere is relaxing, Hagen and Fabian make the best drinks in town! The service is always great. Makes it easy to become your go to spot on your way home from work or just a drop in on the weekend.

Food and service were amazing. Super accommodating and I hope they succeed! It's a very cool vibe and very relaxing, yet still lively. The staff has the best outfits too.

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.

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.

Super cute place. Fantastic happy hour. Everything we tried was great. Staff was nice.

Well this was worth the stop. We were looking for a cool vibe and some different food and we found it. Not to mention the bartender (Fabian) was awesome. Make it a stop when you are in the area.

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.

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.

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.

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. Their theme nights (Elvis, Sinatra, hopefully more to come) are a blast and are usually the highlight of our month! Highly recommend dropping by for a drink if you're in the area.

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.

Came here tonight for the Frank Sinatra theme dinner. What a great time this was! Great food, atmosphere, Kevin sang Franks songs. We had a blast!!!

Really lovely bar with interesting menu. Good service, nice liquor selection. Food a bit pricey

Food was great! The short ribs were fantastic. Drinks were great! Staff was nice. What a nice surprise this place was. Will definitely return!

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I wonderful afternoon! Perfect everything Food, ambience and service was amazing Thanks Kevin and the whole crew

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!

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

Great service and cocktails but food needs to be delish. Fish and chips too much fries 3 fishes with too much batter.

Really disappointed. Bartender was perfectly nice but seemed poorly trained. They weren't busy, but it took him 15 mins to make our two drinks. Husband had a Bee's Knees that was undrinkable. I had the Old Fashioned that was not good, but I tossed it back so it wasn't a total waste of money. Bar is also right on top of the door which I didn't love. I was psyched for the idea of a speakeasy vibe in town, but we wouldn't go back.

The interior is cute and the menu looks decent. But the food is not great. There are very few seats at the bar. Service is meh.
