Such a cool experience! A TRUE speakeasy--the entrance was definitely not what I expected! We were…read moreclearly looking a little lost when a bystander asked, "Are you looking for the speakeasy?" Thankfully, they pointed us toward the barbershop entrance. Definitely appreciated that! Once inside, I loved the entire speakeasy vibe. The bartender was so sweet and took the time to thoroughly explain the drinks. One even came with an awesome fire presentation! Great atmosphere, great drinks, and such a fun experience. 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 recently Visited during their 2026 pizza making competition (an annual event that i was not aware of prior to this visit). 4 pizza pros, 4 pizza rookies going head to head to see who can make the best pie. 2 rounds; 1st round was who can use the secret ingredient (chorizo) the best, 2nd round was a free for all to make the most creative pie they can imagine (Wagyu cheeseburger pizza and Chilli dog pozza to name a few). V sold wristbands that gave access to a buffet of everything made for the competition. I personally suggest the gold band (not sure if they change it every year, but it was gold this year) which came with a complimentary drink and all day happy hour from side car. As always, the food was fresh, hot and did not disappoint. Live dj, great staff and fun atmosphere made the entire visit a memorable event for the family. Combine that with awesome food, a wing eating competition, amazing drinks, and the fact that part of the proceeds went towards the v4v foundation made this an amazing experience, definitely one i will be looking forward to attending next year.

Indoor table, bar or outdoor seating, the choice is yours. I had a phenomenal paper plane this last visit - perfectly balanced and shaken, truly 5 stars. Our party sat outside for a bit then moved indoors when the sun shifted. No issues with the service and we just popped to the bar when we needed something.

I REALLY liked this place. Everything was great. The service was awesome. And I just couldn't…read morerecommend this place enough. If you want true Southern comfort food taken to another level, then come to this place and you'll be more than pleased. FOOD: Any menu that has fried pickles, brunswick stew, chili, fried chicken and shrimp and grits is some authentic Southern food. This place has such a great variety I wanted to try it all. I really wanted to try the Sloppy Mojo, the BBQ Reuben, and "The Smitty" but just had to go for the classics. I tried the two-meat combo with grits and mac and cheese as my two sides and I would have come for the sides. For my two meats they let me pick Kansas City Burnt Ends and the classic pulled pork and they too were SO delicious. I can't say enough about how good it was. SERVICE: Again, just stellar. Really stellar. And the portion sizes were fantastic. And it all just looked great. From the staff to the plates this place was great. COST: Honestly not bad for as much as you get. My two meat combo with two sides was only $25 and for a big guy like me I went home with extra. I only wish they would open one closer to me in California.

This is a difficult review! We went as a family of four. We were greeted and seated quickly. Our…read morewaiter was efficient and nice had a good personality. The menu is good lots of options. When we walked in my family felt like it smelled bad. ( everyone had opinions about how it smelled. Smoky, liquory, old meatish, cleaning products) with that being said it made it difficult to eat the food because of the smells. Personally I didn't have a problem because I smelt the smoke and it didn't bother me. The food: we had the fried pickles. They were very good! The sauce is excellent. We ordered 2 meat platters & one sides meal. The meat platters the pulled pork was excellent, the ribs were ok and the brisket was not good. One of us thought it smelled bad. The fries were over seasoned with salt, the onion rings were good, the sweet potatoes were excellent, the mashed potatoes were ok, the corn ok but had good taste, the green beans were good, the Mac n cheese was good! Overall we have been here before a few times and had great food, so I'm not sure what was going on tonight!

I went to Whiskey Cake for a party which was in a nice size private room. Our server Christina was…read morefabulous! There were roughly 15 people at the party and she kept the food and drinks coming all night with a friendly smile. I started with the guava gimlet made with Wheatley Vodka, guava, pineapple, simple and lime. It was sweet and refreshing. We were served a few appetizers including creamy artichoke dip served with homemade chips which were tasty. My friend and I ordered the charcuterie board which hit the spot! You could top the meat cheeses and sauces on to either homemade crackers or French bread. I highly recommend the board if you are looking for something light.

Alright Jacksonville, Whiskey Cake did NOT disappoint!…read more First things first, if you're visiting on a weekend, MAKE A RESERVATION! This place gets busy! Luckily, we were waiting for someone in our party, so the wait wasn't too bad. Now the FOOD? Absolutely AMAZING! Everything from the chicken and waffles to the sandwiches, breakfast plates, and sweet treats was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The drinks were refreshing, service was excellent, and even the bathrooms were spotless! The restaurant itself has a really cool, rustic atmosphere. My only two minor complaints were the seating and noise. If your party is larger than 5-6 people, you may end up sharing a high-top table with another group, separated by a small divider. We also got seated toward the back near a group that was EXTREMELY loud. Listen, I'm all for having a good time, but WHEW, they were enjoying themselves enough for everybody! Outside of those two things, I really enjoyed the experience! Great food, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Those minor seating issues are the only reason I'm giving it a 4.5 instead of a perfect 5. We'll absolutely be back because brunch was fantastic, but now I need to see what that DINNER menu is talking about! Shoutout to our amazing server Stephanie as well, oh guys this place takes tap to pay !!
