Boozy Bird, now open in Carrollton, is a chicken-wing-obsessed sports bar

New bar and restaurant Boozy Bird in Carrollton is obsessed with chicken wings. You can get ‘em Buffalo, glazed with spicy apricot sauce, laced with Jamaican jerk seasoning, or tossed in Sichuan hot sauce. Or rubbed with Italian Parm, black truffle sriracha, maple sugar or Old Bay.

Boozy Bird’s chef-partner Chris Conlon grew up in Buffalo, N.Y., home of the Buffalo wing. He knows his way around a chicken pun.

“Wings truly are my childhood comfort food, and that deep-rooted love and passion fueled the creation of Boozy Bird,” he said. “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 cocktails are “clucktails” and the chicken options are called “boners and breasts.”

And here’s a first: Instead of an espresso martini, theirs is called a Boozy Coopuccino. They’re really running wild here — it’s a menu full of free-range chicken jokes.

Other than chicken, the restaurant serves bar bites such as crispy mac and queso, mushrooms stuffed with pimento cheese, and potato chip-crusted onion rings.

The restaurant comes from the owners of sushi restaurant Musume (in Dallas and newly in Fort Worth), Dallas speakeasy Akai, and sports bar Chopshop (in Dallas’ Victory Park, Las Colinas and McKinney).

It’s spacious, at 7,500 square feet, with pingpong, beer pong, shuffleboard, billiards and 20 TVs.

Boozy Bird is at 2661 Midway Road, Carrollton. It opened Aug. 1, 2023.
