    Great Drinks!

    We were out for a drink with our 21 year old. She wasn't sure yet what she would like. The waitress was fantastic! She asked her a few questions on what flavors she liked, and types of alcohol, and made a recommendation that nailed it! Very fun night, would definitely return!

    Fun bar little bar. Great drinks, the two drinks I remember getting were The Drunks who stare at goats, Arnies palm tree and possibly I'm not salty you are. The bad also had board games available to play.

    Excellent ambiance, interesting and delicious cocktails, great service from an attentive and engaging bartender. The bartender recommended a new rye whisky that will definitely be on our radar. Every time we are here the menu cocktails are new and interesting. We also got a dinner recommendation for Wooden City, which was absolutely fabulous and we enjoyed very much.

    I stopped in here for New Year's Eve and had a blast. It was jam-packed but eventually we were able to grab a spot. The drink combinations were unique and fun, I loved the free popcorn in the back with different toppings to choose from and I liked the decor as well as the overall ambiance.

    Volstead Act, always happening

    5 stars because finally a bar that is happening in downtown Spokane, and even happening on a Monday night. She, especially 5 stars, because everybody seemed to be having a good time. Bar tender clearly knows his craft and somehow kept up. They didn't have much in the way of beer and cider, and their signature cocktails were a bit too over the top for me. But, I would definitely come back.

    Went to check out the Christmas menu and theming and I loved it! Drinks were great, service was spectacular given how crowded it was, and the decor was awesome! I had two drinks, the Yippee Ki Yay Mother F****r! and the Christmasaurus, and while both were delicious, the Yippee Ki Yay was my favorite.

    This was the first bar I went to in Spokane and this was the best one by far. It's a cozy bar tucked away in downtown Spokane with some bar top seating and some long communal tables. There are some board games for people to play as well. My first drink was the gin rummy ($14) which is very much like a last word if you've ever had that. You can taste the green chartreuse and the lime and green apple are very refreshing. My second drink was the where the watermelon grows ($12) which is so refreshing and bright. It's tart from the lemon juice but even more so from the watermelon basil shrub which they make in-house. My third drink was the aperol of my rye ($12) which is as its name suggests: very aperol and rye forward. The last drink I had was the oaxacan on the moon ($12) which was smoky from the mezcal and herbaceous from the green chartreuse. From the ingredients in the cocktails I can see that this place is every forward and innovative in the craft cocktail scene. Noah, one of the amazing bartenders, was creating new cocktails for people to try during my time there and even had me taste one of them. Note that a non-cash payment means a 3.5% convenience fee. This place was so good that I came back again in the night which had a totally different vibe from the early evening. It was packed and more busy but I preferred the more chill and quiet vibe so I would go back when it's less busy and more intimate. This is such an awesome place!

    Small, intimate atmosphere. Very creative cocktail menu with the ability to have bartenders make you a drink if you give them some preferences on liquor, etc.. About $13-15 a drink. They also serve Miller high life which seemed to be a crown favorite.

    We choose this bar because it's in Ceasars Rewards Market Restaurants. Earing $1 per 1 point for Ceasars Rewards. Noah is a really great bartender & he has good pouring technique. He recommended the house cocktails. The drinks were refreshing & tasty. A gin & tonic was $6.50 & house cocktails are $13 & up. There is an amazing liquor selection of some great top shelf & unique brands. They also have complimentary popcorn with different seasoning salts. Good location too. Would definitely come back to Volstead.

    Great seasonal drinks. Love that they mix up the menu ! Would love a seasonal menu but also a staple menu of house cocktails you can get year round . Would love to see more selection and more vodka based drinks available! Cocktauls are always great fresh and craft!

Most recently, on a Friday evening around 7 PM, my party was seated near the end of the bar by the restroom area. A server approached me in a confrontational manner and told me to move my chair because it was blocking the walkway. I immediately complied and moved it where he directed. Despite that, he repeatedly pushed and squeezed past the chair in an aggressive way several times afterward and then returned to confront me about it again. The interaction felt hostile, unnecessary, and unprofessional. Unfortunately, this wasn't an isolated incident. On a previous visit, a female server was rude and controlling toward our table, and on another occasion when we were unhappy with a menu item, the response was essentially, "You ordered it, you pay for it," with no attempt to address the concern professionally. The atmosphere is great, which is why we've continued to come back. However, after several visits involving rude and confrontational interactions with staff, it feels more like an ongoing culture issue than a one-time bad experience. I don't expect special treatment, but I do expect basic courtesy and respect. Hopefully management takes these concerns seriously and works to improve the customer experience.

The Peacock Room was still open right by our hotel, so in we went. Best accidental decision of the trip. You walk in and the room hits you. Dark, moody, eclectic wallpaper, the kind of place that feels like it has stories. Then you look up. A stained glass peacock ceiling, thousands of pieces of it, glowing over the whole room. I just stood there for a second. Wow. The space is big and built for good company. Plenty of room for four couples or a bigger group to settle in. They stay open till 1am, which makes them a rare find for us late-nighters. The bourbon list earned my respect. I went Michter's, Old Forester 1910, and Weller Antique 107, and the 1.5 oz pours were priced fair and honest. No tourist markup. My wife worked through a Huckleberry Heaven, a dirty martini, and an espresso martini. The Huckleberry leaned on real local huckleberry instead of faking it. The dirty martini came cold and briny with a clean bite, just the way it should be. The espresso martini was rich and smooth with a proper foam cap, the kind that wakes you up and relaxes you at the same time. We got hungry. She had the chicken Caesar, crisp and fresh with warm chicken on top. I went prime rib French dip with fries. Crunchy baguette, savory meat, rich au jus. Exactly what you want at midnight. Then we split the chocolate cabernet cake to close it out, rich and creamy and worth the calories. Tyson and David ran the bar like pros. We're not from around here, so Tyson walking us through the local options meant something. Real conversation, no rushing us, just good people who know their craft. If you're in downtown Spokane, do yourself a favor. Walk in, look up, and order something good.

The decor is cute and it has the cabin look about it. My friends and I ordered the half flatbread with Caesar salad and I had the lobster bisque soup for my side.

Someone in our party ordered a corona and it took 15-20 min for it to be brought and it wasn't super cold.
