Frisco’s Bottled in Bond restaurant channels Prohibition spirit with upscale cocktail lounge

Frisco’s Bottled in Bond – a 2 year old upscale restaurant and bar on Dallas Parkway – has been expanded to include a new prohibition-style cocktail lounge, to which it is now connected by a communal kitchen.

The high ceilings, dark walls and the weak lighting of the salon convey an ambience from the 1920s in New York or Chicago. Its gold-accented fittings, classic bar stools and ornate chandeliers underline the Prohibition-style atmosphere. Similarly, the original Bottled in Bond restaurant depicts the scene of a Prohibition-style venue with its exposed brick wall and dark wooden bar.

Owner Jasin Burt has been a bartender for around two decades with a particular interest in classic and prohibition drinks.

Inspired by the era of the 1920s, he opened Bottled in Bond in April 2017 – named after the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. The law requires spirits such as whiskey and bourbon to be aged and bottled in accordance with a number of legal regulations.

Although the new cocktail lounge is a whisper-style extension of the restaurant, Burt avoids calling it a whisper bar as it has its own entrance – and this isn’t exactly the secret of other whisper bars.

While the concept of Bottled in Bond focuses more on dinner and drinks, the Parlor’s atmosphere is based on its cocktails. The menu consists of small plates – quail eggs, the bison burger, devil eggs, black-eye pea hummus, spring onion and cheddar potato fritters, chicken biscuits, glazed bison meatballs, jalapeño-marinated jumbo shrimp, and herb laces – and – Lemon and olive oil cake and its gluten-free almond and blueberry cake.

The cocktail creations include the Espresso Martini and a Brown-Butter Old Fashioned, a variant of the classic cocktail, prepared with roasted almond-rye, a tincture of brown butter, Angostura bitter and maple.

The 21 year old cocktail lounge also offers more than 130 whiskey selections as well as hundreds of rum, brandy and cognac, tequila, gin, vodka, and aperitif and digestif selections.

Bottled at Bond Cocktail Parlor & Kitchen located at 5285 Dallas Pkwy., Suite 420.
