Volstead Prohibition Era Bar and Kitchen oers a full-service food and drink service in a 1920’s-in- spired environment in Southlake. Flower Mound-based restaurant group Restau- rant Ventures Unlimited opened the restaurant in summer 2024, restaurant group President Dave Coussirat said. What’s in a name? The restaurant’s name comes from the Volstead Act, Coussirat said. The Volstead Act, also called the National Prohibition Act, banned the con- sumption of alcohol in the United States in 1919. “You’re supposed to feel like you’re in the Roaring ‘20s drinking it illegally,” Coussirat said. What’s on the menu The food menu oers a mix of traditional fare, such as cheeseburgers and sh and chips, along- side lighter meals, such as sushi. In addition, the restaurant runs a brunch menu on Saturdays and Sundays, which includes break- fast egg rolls and macadamia nut soue pancakes.

It’s 5 o’clock somewhere The bar oers an array of cocktails, including six dierent martinis, along with several other old- school cocktails, Coussirat said. The restaurant’s bar also oers old fashioneds, bee’s knees and strawberry mules. “It’s a full bar with a wide selection, but you do see people having fun with some of the older martinis,” Coussirat said. The restaurant also oers a food and drink happy hour from 2-6 p.m. on the weekdays and the last hour of business every day of the week, Coussirat said. Some background Volstead is the third restaurant from Restaurant Ventures Unlimited in Dallas-Fort Worth. The company also owns Flower Mound restau- rants Tycoon and The Tavern, and the company acquired Southlake restaurant Jane in September. Looking ahead Currently, the company doesn’t plan to expand
