New bar and restaurant Boozy Bird in Carrollton is obsessed with chicken wings. You can get ‘em with Buffalo, glazed with spicy apricot sauce, laced with Jamaican jerk, or tossed in Sichuan hot. Or rubbed with Italian Parm, black truffle sriracha, maple sugar or Old Bay.
Boozy Bird’s chef-partner Chris Conlon matured in Buffalo, New York, home of the Buffalo wing. He understands his method around a chicken pun:
“Wings truly are my childhood comfort food, and that deep-rooted love and passion fueled the creation of Boozy Bird. I firmly believe that the Carrollton community and beyond will flock to Boozy Bird time and time again — drawn in by the local beer and family-friendly games, but undoubtedly staying for the melt-in-your-mouth wings.”
The mixed drinks are “clucktails” and the chicken alternatives are called “boners and breasts.”
And here’s a very first: Instead of an espresso martini, theirs is called a Boozy Coopuccino. They’re truly cutting loose here — it’s a menu full of free-range chicken jokes.
Other than chicken, the restaurant serves bar bites like crispy mac and queso, mushrooms packed with pimento cheese, and potato-chip-crusted onion rings.
The restaurant originates from the owners of sushi restaurant Musume (in Dallas and freshly in Fort Worth), Dallas speakeasy Akai, and sports bar Chopshop (in Dallas’ Victory Park, Las Colinas and McKinney).
It’s large, at 7,500 square feet, with ping-pong, beer pong, shuffleboard, billiards and 20 Televisions.
Boozy Bird is at 2661 Midway Road, Carrollton. It opened Aug. 1, 2023.
