Snowbird

It might be blazing hot outside, but you can still capture that après-ski state of mind with fun friends, strong drinks, and great food. The chic vibe of the multi-level space sets the stage for playfully named dishes including Fri’Your Ttatas, Benedict’ed to You, Gettin’ Berry Toasty, and You’re the Steak to My Eggs. The shareable Rosé All Day cocktail brings pink joy to a group. Or keep your drinks to yourself with a shishito-infused vodka Bloody Mary or Lychee Martini.

If you’re looking for a festive-yet-intimate place for dinner that can transition into late-night cocktails and fun, look no further than Snowbird at The Star complex in Frisco. Chef Walter Brandt has created an internationally inspired menu from his travels and extended time abroad with highlights including Bone Marrow & Zabuton Fried Rice and Kimchi Calamari.

Snowbird is the newly opened spot from a veteran team of bar owners and the Tipsy Alchemist mixologist. It’s a handsome space, full of rich and vibrant tones of deep mustard, teal, and peacock blue, so there’s plenty to look at. And the menu ranges from subtly tweaked classics to unique concoctions, like the visually arresting Snowbird, with tequila, coconut, and butterfly pea flower tea.
