Volstead House is an authentic whiskey bar and speakeasy hidden in Eagan, offering a “Prohibition-era” escape with a sophisticated, moody atmosphere. To enter, guests must find the secret red door, which opens into a world of vintage glamour, dim lighting, and plush velvet seating. It is a premier destination for spirits connoisseurs, featuring an extensive library of rare whiskeys and a cocktail program that treats mixology as a fine art.
The menu at Volstead House complements its bold drink list with elevated American small plates and hearty entrees. Signature items like the duck wontons, tenderloin tips, and artisanal flatbreads provide the perfect accompaniment to a classic Old Fashioned or a house-made infusion. They are also known for their Prohibition-style weekend brunch, where diners can enjoy gourmet breakfast dishes and “illicit” morning cocktails in an intimate, tucked-away setting.
As one of the most unique nightlife spots in the South Metro, Volstead House provides a refined alternative to the standard bar scene. The live jazz music and knowledgeable bartenders create a transportive experience that feels both exclusive and welcoming. Whether you’re planning a romantic date night or a private celebration, Volstead House delivers a masterclass in atmosphere and craft.

* Price Per Person (Average) is an estimate initially provided by the listing owner. It is approximate and may not reflect your experience, but listing owners are expected to provide estimates based on what a reasonable and typical experience might look like. Listing owners are instructed to INCLUDE an average order amount, mandatory gratuity, taxes, and mandatory fees in this price. It EXCLUDES optional gratuity where that may exist.
*** Tip-Free Establishments are businesses which deliver services at a higher base rate or a standard add-on flat-percentage fee to ensure livable (or at least minimum) wages for employees. We say “tip-free” instead of “tip-included” because many jurisdictions do not allow these fees to be classified as gratuities.
** Mandatory Service Fees are fees which are not optional and the business is not legally compelled to collect, regardless of whether it is imposed by the business, landlord, etc. This includes fees used to create “tip-free” establishments. The Local Gem Guide believes in upfront, transparent, baked in pricing, but knowing many businesses operate this way, the attribute is intended to provide transparency. Local Gem Guide is not a legal expert and cannot provide legal guidance, but it does remind businesses to consult with a legal expert before charging these fees since many jurisdictions, including Minnesota, now outlaw many of these “junk fees” by law.
*** Organic indicates a listing owner’s self-reported approximation for what percentage of their menu is organic.
**** Locally Sourced Ingredients is used to indicate what percentage of the menu is locally sourced. This sustainability metric is a listing owner’s self-reported approximation of what percentage of their menu is grown, sourced, and sold within about 100 miles of the listing.
Listing Accuracy is the responsibility of the listing owner. Local Gem Guide is not responsible for the contents, completeness, accuracy, or any liabilities with regard to listings.
