Walking into Bottled in Bond is almost like walking into another era or into another city altogether. That is what owner Jasin Burt had in mind when he opened the restaurant a year ago.

Burt has been in the restaurant industry for about 18 years, and he said bartending is his passion.

“I [became interested] in spirits, classic cocktails and looking back at the traditional recipes of cocktails and Prohibition-type cocktails,” Burt said.

After working at several restaurants in Dallas, Burt said he was ready to open his own place. He and his wife moved to Frisco four years ago.

“With the move and the idea I had, I thought a new restaurant that was more cocktail-forward would be a great complement to some of the great establishments around us,” Burt said.

Burt opened Bottled in Bond in April 2017.

Inside the restaurant, the bar is the main feature. The room is designed with exposed brick, dark wood and high ceilings to give it a more intimate atmosphere, Burt said.

“I wanted people to feel like they’ve just walked into a Prohibition-era New York or Chicago establishment,” the restaurant owner said.

Bottled in Bond is named after the Bottling in Bond Act of 1897, which requires spirits like whiskey to be aged and bottled according to a set of legal regulations, Burt said.

Burt has created a menu of house cocktails that are unique to Bottled in Bond and inspired by classic drinks. His personal phrase for the menu is “classics with a creative pour.”

The menu includes a cocktail called Acapulco Gold, which consists of gin, ginger liqueur, turmeric cordial, lemon, aromatic bitters and seared rosemary.

Bottled in Bond also includes a food menu with a variety of eclectic dishes, such as black pepper shrimp and roasted pineapple, ceviche and beet carpaccio.

“Bottled in Bond is adult-driven, and that makes us stick out a little in Frisco because we are an 18-and-over establishment,” Burt said. “I wanted to create something that adults could come and enjoy a great date night, a small get-together, and just be yourself.”
