Great place to have cocktails with the girls. Not only is the food pretty but the service was amazing! Our server works at another location and told my friend about this place I feel horrible I can't remember her name right now but she's a ginger super sweet and took care of us and answered all of our crazy questions. Brittany??? I had the cheeseburger and it was a double cheeseburger and it was so delicious with side of salad. (Photo didn't turn out) My friend had the burger & french fries so I got to try them and they were also delicious. Inside a dark and moody and cool and temperature so you can come in and get out of the heat enjoy a cocktail and a nice lunch. It's nice to not be under such bright light and crowded places. I really like the atmosphere here quiet swanky and had nice music. Friends request we shared the double eggs they were definitely something to try. And she had the chicken pot pie and said it was so delicious she licked the bowl clean. read more

Cool looking place, but my lunch was very disappointing. Had the Seared Tuna Salad, which looks good on the plate but had zero taste. The tuna - as another Yelp reviewer mentioned- was bland, somehow lacking any tuna flavor. The salad was equally bland - the amount of dressing provided was stingy and it wasn't bad but was also very uninspired. I ate four bites of the salad to ensure it wasn't just me missing the tasty parts but that didn't help. I left all the tuna except the first piece I tried and half of the second. When the server finally came by and I had a 90 percent untouched plate he didn't bother to ask if everything was okay - just said "can I take this away"? I think these are the same owners who have The Tavern and Tycoon in Flower Mound and I've never had anything but great food and service experiences at both so hopefully this was just a rare bad experience. I will stick to The Tavern and Tycoon going forward, though. read more

Volstead - Seared Tuna Salad - looks fantastic but mine was surprisingly tasteless. - Wine Bars Near Me - Southlake, Texas

Speakeasy atmosphere in the middle of a strip mall. Definitely a creative and chill vibe in there with great happy hour specials and solid food choices. Happy hour is from 2-6 mon-fri and has half off wine, cocktails, martinis and $10 on a few different appetizers. Great pricing for the quality of drinks you're getting and they have something for everyone. Food was also on point and great for sharing. Tried the popcorn chicken and spicy tuna crispy rice - both things go great with the beverages. Waitstaff was friendly and attentive. Only gripe is they add a rather large "Beverage Surcharge" of ~13.5% (came out to $19.5 for a $144.5 pre-tax bill that included a few food items) which was a bit shocking. Only explanation we got was that "everyone does it". Aside from that, this place is a solid spot to go. read more

OK, I am again, this place is awesome. The food and the drinks keep bringing me back. Zac my waiter was amazing. He's also the bartender. He made me an off the menu mixed drink called 1000 corpses... Yum I enjoyed how the flavor started out kind of sweet and then changed. It was delicious the whole way through. I also have the flatbread, pepperoni, hot honey pizza, and it was delightfully, sweet, crunchy and gooey cheesy... And I got the appetizer with the fried shrimp... I think they call it firecracker shrimp. It was very tasty and I love the flavor all the way through. And of course, the music was jamming with oldies... But I like that kind and it's a very relaxing place. I enjoy it. read more

Came here for lunch. I love the speakeasy vibe and all the available photo ops upon entering. I was sat right away and the service was very attentive from the start. I ordered the Crispy Deviled Eggs and those were delicious, they are topped with bacon jam which adds to the delicious taste. I got two drinks from the bar the first was a Bootlegger's Blossom and the second was a Lemon Drop Martini and they were both delicious. For my meal I had the Volstead Cheeseburger, which they said it was the best burger in Southlake, and that was not a lie. The burger was flavorful and perfectly cooked, the meal came with fries which were also tasty. Kevin was our bartender/waiter and he was awesome and very attentive. Overall it was a great experience and will definitely come back. read more

Volstead has been open a while in Southlake. They are the same outfit that owns Jane, also in Southlake, The Tavern, and Tycoon. Both the Tavern and Tycoon are in Flower Mound, and I have not visited, but I have made stops at both Jane and now Volstead. And I have to say, I wanted to be impressed, and I just wasn't. When I went to Jane, the cocktails were not up to snuff. My visit to Volstead, the cocktail was fantastic but the ambiance and food disappointed. I came into Volstead to check out the happy hour. They have a discount on wine, and half off their signature cocktails and martinis. They make craft cocktails, which were impressive, but only have one bartender. It takes time, but they could use another. I ordered a Volstead Vesper. It is a bold martini. Josh made it well. It was well balanced. Boozy yet balanced. And I love a lemon curl. A garnish can really elevate a cocktail. Five stars for the drink. I will come back and order another one. I also ordered their spicy tuna crispy rice. It was rather a disappointment. The serving size was generous, the crunch on the rice was there, and then it fell short. The texture of the rice was on the mushier side. The tuna was NOT spicy. It had been dressed in something, but it brought absolutely NO flavor or anything to the tuna. There was a wasabi cream and a sauce (maybe eel sauce) that dressed the plate, but the tuna was bland. A little soy, citrus, yuzu, sriracha or SOMETHING to elevate and brighten the tuna would have been EVERYTHING. So it just ended up being bland tuna, on undressed avocado, on fried mushy rice with some tasty sauces. It absolutely was not spicy. And with a little something something it could have been rather tasty. Even with mushy rice. When I walked in and sat down, there was no music playing so you were just hearing conversations bouncing off the walls. After about a half hour someone decided they needed some tunes, but then it was too loud and it was hard to hear the bar tenders. I loved the decor, and again, my cocktail was really rather good. The overall feel just felt kind of sloppy. It could have been awesome, and fell short. They claim to have Southlakes best burger, and maybe that is a better choice than the tuna. I may give it a shot. It got rather popular as I was leaving, the crowd a bit more mature. And maybe that is their bag. They have great reviews and high stars, I just didn't feel it. read more

The name of this place has intrigued me for some time. You see I am a bit of a history buff and the Volstead Act outlawed alcohol sales in 1919. Clubs still existed though, in the form of speakeasy's. Volstead is fashioned after a speakeasy from the era, and you feel it walking in. The place has an old time feel to it. My service was great. Friendly, cheerful, and a Ray of sunshine in the mysterious and dim lights, reminiscent of a speakeasy. I ordered a Cheeseburger and it came with Skinny Fries. I got to give them props, the food was delicious and something I would return for! read more

We walked for our 6:30 reservations and were immediately seated. The Speak Easy vibe was very cool. The place is small but it works. Service was great and the good was good. The charcuterie board started was fresh and well done loaded with tasty snacks. My wife loved her Strawberry Mule and my Old Fashion was excellent. Not too sweet and not too whiskeyie. just right. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars wax because it was pretty loud. Probably not an issue for the younger patron - but we will be back! read more

Came here for happy hour after several coworkers recommended it, and it definitely lived up to the hype. I ordered the Watermelon Skinny, which was light, refreshing, and easy to sip on. For food, we shared the happy hour spicy tuna crispy rice and the oysters Rockefeller (not on the happy hour menu), and both were excellent. The crispy rice had a nice crunch with flavorful tuna on top, and the oysters were rich and well-prepared. I also tried some of the popcorn chicken and truffle fries my coworkers ordered--both were delicious and hard to stop picking at. It's a great spot to hang out, catch up, and unwind. The atmosphere was lively but still comfortable for conversation, and the service was attentive and friendly. Definitely a place I'd return to for happy hour. read more

Solid poblano cream soup, but everything else I had here was decidedly mediocre. Cocktail selection was quite limited for a spot that is trying to bill itself as somewhat of a speakeasy experience. Menu wasn't anything crazy. Friendly staff, quick service and decent pricing. read more

Excellent vibe. Great food. Great service. The crispy deviled eggs and burger are amazing.

After being blown away by the first trip here, I brought a big group for a birthday dinner. It was super-fun! Noise is a factor, though. The decibels increase throughout the night, too. Their menu is curated and the mixology is custom. Pricing is in line with the whole experience. Most notable is the service - really great staff! read more

We live really close by and had been to the restaurant that was previously there so thought we would give it a try. Parking is easy and they did a really excellent and cool job changing the decor from fish shack style to a modern vibe. I absolutely love the blowing bubble gum wall paper. What I really love about this place is there is an option for everyone and the serving sizes are huge! My husband and I shared the fish and chips because we knew we were getting appetizers and a dessert. The serving size of the split order could almost be a full serving at other restaurants. The quality is great as well and everything we had was very good. Our server, the bartenders and the manager were very friendly and checked in JUST the right amount. Never feeling ignored but also not feeling like we had to stop our conversation multiple times to handle a check in. The crab cakes are amazing and the only thing they could do better is put a bigger version on a croissant and add it to the menu. read more

This was the end to my Mother's Day. We stopped at this speak easy. It is a fun atmosphere. The bartenders were fun and made sure we were having a good time. They explained how the location used to be Fish City and the owner decided to turn it into a speak easy. The drinks were good and the deviled eggs were a great choice. We didn't eat because we ate somewhere else and were just checking out the place. We will be going back to have dinner. The crowd ranged from age 30-70 while we were there. This was a Saturday around 6:45 PM. I feel it's a great place to visit when everyone feels comfortable talking to everyone around them. We did sit at the bar. We felt like me met new friends. I recommend you try this location. read more

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. read more

Stopped by for drinks after eating nearby on our way home with friends on a whim. We absolutely loved the speakeasy vibe and bar feel. The intimate low level lighting, sumptuous velvet seating and amazing cocktails whisks you away immediately to a cellar bar in New York. The noise level was louder than I expected but nothing a few acoustic panels can't fix. Already making a plan to go back do we can stay longer and also try the food. read more

First time at Volstead. Really quaint speakeasy type bar. Met some friends and had a terrific time. The girl who took care of us and really made our evening, Kayla (AGM) was amazing. she not only took care of us, but seemed to take care of all the customers well. I am big on customer service and the fact that this girl has only been there less than six months, but literally had such a command of everything it was really fun to watch her at work. They obviously train their employees well. Happy hour was great. The drinks were very well priced and the food was excellent. The happy hour burger was my favorite. Can't wait to come back and visit! read more

My son and I were craving burgers! We stopped in during Happy Hour and were pleasantly surprised!

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. read more

Love this place! However, stopped by around 5:30 today to grab a beverage during happy hour and the door was locked, parking lot full and didn't see a notice posted as to why. One think that if the facility was full of people for any reason it would be a fire hazard to have the door locked. No sign was posted that I saw regarding the lockout. In response to Dave C's comment, I in fact did not go to Volstead's this evening due to the doors being locked. As a results I came to Wildwood and am still here. So, Dave you are clearly wrong! read more

Visiting the area and met friends for dinner. The ambience and decor and great and speak to the prohibition era theme. They have a good list of signature cocktails and some interesting food options. We tried the shrimp appetizer and deviled eggs. I probably wouldn't get the deviled eggs again. For my entree I had the French dip sandwich and it was good, a large portion that is shareable. Would go back here while in town for their happy hour and to try their martinis. read more

What a gem! Swanky speakeasy style restaurant in the middle of Southlake. Great lightning, music, and decor. We tried the tuna fried rice, firecracker shrimp, and fish and chips. All were delicious. I had the espresso martini and the clover club, husband had the half life IPA and the pecan porter. Drinks were wonderful as well. They offers a 2-6 happy hour daily and $5 martini lunches. I definitely plan to make this place a regular in our rotation! read more

I have mixed feelings. Stuff is young, okay, but attentive. Food was good, but seemed expensive for what I had. One of the best Manhattans I've had, on the drink side. But one thing bugs me, and I didn't say anything, but saw a $ 5.25 bar tax or fee. Don't understand what that is or why I'm -paying it. Sat at a table, tipped my server well. I don't like secret taxes? That alone would keep me from returning . read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Lovely spot. Inconspicuous in a very lax spot in suburban Southlake, Volstead is refreshing in more ways than one. I thought the blacked out walls were temporary only to realize that they're part of the allure. When you walk in, you're greeted immediately by hostesses and once you sit down at the bar / the bartenders ask your name and from then onwards you're part of the Volstead family. We ordered food as well and give me fries and popcorn chicken and I'm a happy gal! Also, if you're not a huge drinker, they have a variety of mocktails making this a perfect spot for any occasion. We'll certainly be back! read more

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.

It was just okay - our group of six all agreed it was pleasant enough, but nothing really stood out or wowed us. I ordered a flatbread and when it arrived it looked and tasted exactly like a basic kids' pizza. The cocktails were fine, but they didn't feel like proper speakeasy-style drinks at all - more like standard bar pours. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was decent. It's a shame, because we really love the whole speakeasy concept when it's done well. Give it a try and see if I'm right? read more

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!

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. read more
