Thankfully, they pointed us toward the barbershop entrance. Definitely appreciated that! Once inside, I loved the entire speakeasy vibe.

I would absolutely return!

Stopped into Volstead Speakeasy on a Wednesday night as a walk-in and had no trouble grabbing a…read moreseat at the bar. The aesthetic is unique with a relaxed atmosphere. I'll let the photos from other reviews do the talking, but if you enjoy a good backstory, ask about the history of the space. My mission for the night was simple: end the evening with a great gin cocktail. I started with the Donna Bella from the menu. It was well made, but I thought the bitters were a little too forward for my taste. Next, I asked for an off-menu modification: a Water Lily for Teresa, but made with Roku Gin. It was a strong contender--aromatic, balanced, and beautifully floral. If you're a fan of a French 75, this is a fun cocktail to explore. It's less citrus-forward and leans into a floral profile with a character that's hard to compare to anything else. For the final round, I went with bartender's choice. Mick asked a few questions about my flavor preferences and absolutely nailed it. They crafted a cocktail with Roku gin, snap pea cordial, aloe liqueur, egg white, lemon simple, mint, and citrus that was easily the highlight of the night. Fresh, layered, and memorable, it's a drink that deserves a permanent spot on the menu....Mission accomplished. If you're willing to wander beyond the barbershop business front and you consider yourself a spirit explorer, Volstead is well worth the visit. Go for a round...or two. If you're local, this could easily become your staple spot. For what it is, strong craft cocktail bar option. Bartenders choice is the way to go.

I came here for a quick bite because I had a coupon from my Verizon rewards to get a free sandwhich…read morewith purchase of another sandwhich. I got a grilled cheese with pesto and tomato. I thought the flavor profile was good, though a touch greasy. I still put down the whole sandwhich with delicious chips to give it a good crunch. I was disappointed they didn't not provide a free pickle. The music was mid to early 2000's hipster which was nice. I saw '80s nights advertised while I was there which gives me a good incentive to check this place out again without the coupon.

There is a pin ball machine, pool table and hockey table. Roadhouse is a high spot and blanding blvd. It is easy to get to. I had a great time.

Bring your friends and family to Roadhouse to have a good time!

They have really spruced up the place with some very cool murals along the walls, with pool tables, dart boards, and pinball machines. The bar is limited yet not limited at all...meaning no hard liquor. But you have PLENTY of great choices form IPA's, international beers, ciders, wines, and more!!! The owners are friendly and welcoming. The pub itself is open and has plenty of bar seating and along the side walls with some couches, tables, and chairs. They have some seating outside, nice on a beautiful day! I have been here 3 times now...and have tried a few different things. I was in LOVE with the Berry Basil Mimosa and the Orange Sherbet Mimosa...and YES...there is a BIG scoop of orange sherbet in the glass...YUMMY! However...if you have never tried the "dirty ash tray"....do yourself a favor and order it here! What is a dirty ash tray you ask..... This is a cold CAN of Modelo (or Tecate if they are out), topped with a squirt of lime juice, a dash of hot sauce, and salt and pepper. Pop the top and drink....delish! They have your typical bar snacks, pickled feet, eggs, pork rinds, chips....so if you are snacky...have a treat! Prices are very reasonable for the drinks that they offer. Looking forward to hanging out here with friends and becoming a regular! Great job Justice Pub for giving the downtown a cozy place to drink!

I've been on several occasions for different types of events and it has yet to disappoint (ME). The indoor part of the venue is warehouse style, to me it seems large but other reviews seem to think otherwise but I guess if you do go to dance, the couple of bar style tables in front of the stage take away from having space. We were at a table and i did have people standing right next to me or dancing bumping into our table. So i guess that's what they mean. Then there's the outside patio with a stage which you can find either a band or dj; all depending on the night you go. There is seating out there as well and room to dance. There's also a bar out there but the times I've been has not been open for business. Drinks aren't badly priced I got 2 vodkas, one with OJ and one with Red Bull and a beer and paid under $30 with tip, SAW WHAT?!?! It is a dark, 'divey' joint but I fully recommend if you're a live music lover and don't mind a very chill vibe. I posted videos of one of the bands i saw when i checked in the night i went. Their name was Cowford. Totally check them out, it was my first time seeing them and they gained a fan! The videos won't be tied to this review.
