Frisco's food and drink hub: A dive into The Owl Bar & Boards

Frisco, Texas - Those interested in alcoholic beverages might be surprised to learn that the most diverse collection of spirits and liquors is not located in central Dallas but in its suburban outskirts.

The Owl Bar & Boards, located north of Dallas, stands out with its wide-ranging collection, offering over 140 tequilas, 100 types of bourbon, and 50 kinds of vodka. This venue is a notable destination for those keen on exploring diverse alcoholic beverages.

Entering the venue, patrons are greeted by an impressive display of bottled spirits. This arrangement, more than just a storage solution, appears as an organized exhibition with 35 scotch varieties methodically ordered, situated next to 14 unique mezcals. Japanese whisky is given its distinct space, near its Irish equivalents, highlighting the international breadth of the selection.

Choosing from this vast menu, which offers drinks ranging from $7 for jalapeño-infused tequila to $210 for 25-year-aged Macallan scotch whisky, might be challenging. To assist, the bar provides a clear directory with prices, making the selection process easier for customers, especially with the extensive hard liquor choices available.

The Owl Bar & Boards also features speciality drinks, such as the house-special Mexican Candy and the Grumpy Irish Coffee. Other creatively named drinks, like the Mona Lisa, further enhance the menu. For those uncertain about their choice or looking for a taste of various drinks, a $50 flight option offers a selection of the bar’s five most popular beverages.

However, this establishment in Frisco offers more than just drinks. True to its name, The Owl Bar & Boards, it presents a variety of food options like artisanal pizzas and desserts. These dishes have unique, owl-themed names, such as “The Hoot,” a margherita pizza, and other inventive versions like The Owl Capone and Dr. Whooo. Priced between $17 and $20, these pizzas are complemented by large pretzels served with a selection of dips. The dining experience concludes with a s’mores board, priced at $16, blending simplicity with sophistication.

The combination of a childhood favorite like s’mores, alongside a diverse alcoholic menu, provides a unique atmosphere that caters to varied tastes. This blend of offerings sets The Owl Bar & Boards apart as a unique destination.
