How do you get into The Volstead House?

We have not confirmed it. The Volstead House is in the directory because it calls itself a speakeasy, and that is the whole of what we can stand behind about its door.

The drinks at The Volstead House

How the venue describes itself: “Our Cocktails are classics from the 1800’s and early 1900’s. We want to start a movement back to the basics, restoring these classic drinks of the past!” (from its own website, retrieved 9 October 2026)

The venue publishes a price range of $$.

The current drinks list is published on the venue’s own site — see the menu.

Beyond what the venue publishes we have not verified a list, so what follows is the period rather than the bar: Corpse Reviver No. 2, White Lady, and Twentieth Century are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.

Prohibition in Minnesota

Minnesota came under national prohibition on 17 January 1920, when the Eighteenth Amendment took effect and the Volstead Act defined an intoxicating beverage as anything above one half of one per cent alcohol — a threshold strict enough to close breweries that had expected to survive.
