Great speak easy type bar. Had a blast. Note that there is no sign outside (speak easy style) so look for the address.

Overall this hidden speakeasy is amazing! Its hidden store front with the "JAX POST" vibe is cool. I've been here a few times for the Bartenders Brawl but never on a regular night. Total for the 2 hours while I was here there was a max of 20 people in the establishment. Its cool it see this "speakeasy" bar not crowded with people and and be able to "observe" it in its "natural" environment. The bar design was an interesting, the concept it reminded me of a "Thrust" or "Runway" style stage. Im theater terms this allows the performers in this case the bartender with a greater interaction with the audience or customer in this case To my knowledge during the week they only have one Bartender on staff compared to the weekend aka Friday and Sat. This unique concept allows individual attention and space (during covid) but still flourishes on the weekends during the busiest time. I should have written a review in 2017 when I was introduced to this amazing establishment via a former F & B industry coworker.

The Volstead transports you back in time to an era of sophistication and charm, offering an authentic old-timey bar experience that's hard to find elsewhere. The attention to detail and commitment to recreating classic libations truly sets The Volstead apart. The ambiance, reminiscent of a Prohibition-era speakeasy, provides the perfect backdrop for sipping these artful concoctions. My visit to The Volstead was a delightful journey through time, where I couldn't help but fall in love with the ambiance, cocktails, and the overall sense of nostalgia it evoked.Are you a business or influencer interested in collaborating with us for an unforgettable experience?

Walked in and walked right out. Tables were empty, but full of the last guests drinks. Bar was full, except the far side, but no chairs to sit. Won't ever be back.

UPDATE: I appreciate the follow up fromThe owner and I understand this bartenders actions is not a reflection of the entirety of the bar. We had amazing service with the taller gentlemen and will come back because it truly is a great ambiance ; being in the industry as well customer service for a business is of utmost importance especially for it being out first time in.Such a shame that the customer service from a particular bartender was so terrible because our drink and atmosphere was great.We sat and were seated on Sunday around 1015, after receiving our drinks from a taller gentlemen with glasses which was amazing, the smaller bartender with glasses turns on all the lights and said “it’s last call, go to the bar down the street if you wanted to stay out”I apologized for not knowing if was closing time when he responded well it’s Sunday so I’m closing early.I shrugged and when waiting for my check saw the man point and over hear him say “that girl over there”.As we finished our drinks he put on Christmas music loud enough where we couldn’t hear each other and clapped around the bar so that we can leave. So disappointed cause I was super excited and ready to spend more. $54 flr 3 drinks and with the ambiance I know we would have gotten another round. Hope this bartender self reflects or finds something he enjoys to do because unfortunately it’s evident he is extremely unhappy with life and or job position .

Dark, atmospheric and great hidden spot. Haven't ate there but the drinks are on a rotation so that's fun and they've always been delicious. Service has been just fine

We stumbled upon this little gem in downtown Jax and were pleasantly surprised by the mixologists and their ability to craft custom drinks based on flavor profiles. They also had a great menu of drinks too. The dim lit atmosphere was nice and service was impecable especially for a busy bar. It’s worth the stop in. They love up to their website for the best hand crafted cocktails in Jacksonville.

This place is one of my favorite stops downtown. The atmosphere is impeccable, the drinks are divine, and the staff are always so welcoming and very knowledgeable. I’ve celebrated many life events with a drink here, and will continue to do so as long as they’re around!
