Pros: decent selection Cons: overpriced, understaffed, and increasingly dull atmosphere and unacceptable service I work in the area and a bunch of us from work used to go to Volstead every Friday. it was a decent place to grab a drink and unwind from work. Much to our dismay this place has fallen way downhill (thankfully a quick search on citysearch provides a bunch of much better places in the area to go to!). Part of it is that they are understaffed. Volstead was never that crowded of a place and we used to get great service. Now it takes ages to get anything, even though it isn't crowded at all. Volstead is also losing whatever "trendy" vibe it had. Now it is more crowded with wannabe "trendy" people. And the girls are not as hot as they used to be-yes I know I am shallow :) Because I work in the area I'm bound to get dragged into going back there in the future so if anything changes I'll definitely post it here. I'd love to see the fun vibe come back to this place like it used to have!
