Love this place! From the moment you walk up, you feel the vibe, true speakeasy. Really cool entrance, the phone booth, password entrance, library feel, then making it into the next room, finally you make it through for drinks and love music. Great craft cocktails, smoked drinks, beers on tap, you name it, they offer it. Bonus, live music! Excellent service! Come check it out!

#EPIC – When I tell you EVERYTHING about this place was amazing! We had the most memorable night stumbling upon this place after a nice, quiet dinner at J. Theodore.
It took us a bit to find the passcode, because we didn’t realize initially that it was a book title and not a numeric code. You pick up the phone, it rings, and you ask the librarian for the book—pretty cool concept and maintains a certain traditional charm. However, the vibes and service were anything but traditional!
We had a BALL despite running into some weirdo with his friends on the way in who acted like he was could keep up us out by not sharing the password. I hope that guy had a miserable time watching us have the time of our lives. Ironically, we were seated right in front of them. I love the way things fall into place exactly how they’re supposed to. Hi hater!
Our server was Maylani, and she was super cool and attentive. She brought Quinn over when my husband began asking about whiskey recommendations. When I tell you that Quinn was THE MAN! The way he talked to us about the Japanese whiskeys and even told us simple cocktail recipes we could make at home, we could immediately tell he was a master at his craft. Between the two, they took great care of us and we had some good discussion and many laughs throughout the night. So much so, that I’m pretty sure we were the last patrons to leave.
The drink menu was EXTENSIVE and well-curated, and I’m sure they share a kitchen with J. Theodore, so you know the food is good.
All the cocktails were expertly crafted, and that Brown Sugar Bourbon Espresso Martini was strong and DELECTABLE! It was perfect because I hate vodka, but I love the flavors of an espresso martini. This was much better!
Will definitely be back!

Rare Books is such a cool find in Frisco. The vibe is spot on, the drinks are top-notch, and the food was great. A huge shoutout to Ashley for the amazing service—she really knows the menu and gave us some killer recommendations. If you’re looking for a spot with good energy and high-quality service, this is it. Definitely coming back!

This might now be my favorite Speakeasy that’s I’ve been too. The phone booth and password of their latest recommended novel make this place intriguing and unique. The atmosphere inside is even better and the bar tender and clientele add to the fun with create conversation and unique cocktails. Try something smoky. You won’t be disappointed. And if you’re hungry, the lobster bowl is especially delicious. Enjoy and cheers

INSANE. Jesus was amazing! Everything he recommended was so delicious. Drinks were so well crafted I got the Tea Blossom Sunrise and it was the best drink I’ve had in a WHILE. Food was amazing the Shrimp Diablo blew my mind I ordered it extra spicy and it did not disappoint!! Sauce was GLOSSY and perfectly coated the pasta INCREDIBLY FLAVORFUL. Will be back

Last night, we went to Rare Books to celebrate our friend’s birthday, there were 11 of us. While waiting for everyone to arrive, three of us were at the bar. My friend and I each had one martini, and the third person had one martini and a beer. Later, we decided to step over to the patio at J. Theodor to listen to the live musician. Probably not the best choice since there was hardly any room to stand. I’m currently wearing a medical boot, so I had to sit, and yes, my walk may have looked a bit shaky, but that comes with the boot, not intoxication.
When we came back inside, our waitress informed us that the three of us, and a fourth friend who walked in at the same time, were being cut off for intoxication. The fourth person hadn’t even had a drink. We spoke with the manager, and while I understand it’s their right to make that call, I genuinely feel the situation was handled poorly.
In my opinion, the real issue may have been that our group was a bit loud—understandable with 11 girls at a birthday celebration. The manager should have addressed it directly instead of sending the waitress, who did attempt to ask us to keep it down but wasn’t very clear or confident. A direct, professional conversation would have gone much further.
This isn’t my first time at Rare Books. The speakeasy atmosphere is really nice, and the food is ok, though not exceptional. And honestly, at $20 per martini, maybe they did us a favor! I just hope they’re consistent in how they decide to cut people off, because I’m sure plenty of guests consume far more than we did. Maybe the suburbs just aren’t ready for Dallas girls. And unfortunately, the service was not super great either. I guess they didn’t want me to drink water either since they didn’t refill my water glass.
Either way, we still had a fun night. It’s just disappointing that the situation was managed in a way that left me being labeled as intoxicated when I wasn’t. Which is pretty funny since I’m not even much of a drinker. And the silver lining is that we didn’t get kicked out and were able to celebrate our friend’s birthday!

The atmosphere was perfection, and the drinks were divine. The live music was simply icing on the cake.
Finding a solid spot in North Texas is no easy task, with so many options to choose from. I revisited this gem after a three year hiatus and quickly remembered why I loved it. The drinks were everything I needed and more.
The only thing left to be desired? The mixologist. Though undeniably talented behind the bar, he treated me as if I wasn’t worth the conversation or small talk—something you hope for when you walk into a bar alone. I wanted the interaction, the recommendation. I was ready to spend, eager to see what he could create after sharing my favorite spirits and giving him free rein to experiment. But he was closed off, detached, and that’s the reason for the four stars.
In a competitive scene full of great bars, I’ll choose the ones where the mixologists engage and become part of the experience…not just the pour.
