“I’ve been coming to grizzly bear for years with friends and family. I love the atmosphere inside and outside. The historical building is absolutely gorgeous. Marie was mine and my sisters bartender and she was so sweet and attentive. Absolutely love her! 10/10 definitely recommend. The wings are delicious and I love playing darts in the front room. Never a dull moment at the grizzly bear.“

“Duffy is AMAZING! He makes the best shots. Ask for a grape Gatorade. His singing skills are out of this world. Not sure why he isn’t on American Idol! Do yourself a favor and visit Kikroys! And ask for him!!!“

“Great place to watch a soccer game.“

“The guy bartender with blond-ish hair (4/24/26) was amazing. He remembered 6 different peoples orders at our table and that was so impressive. Food came out quick and it was delicious. 10/10! Will be back when we come back to the city. The shuttle to the game was awesome too!!“

“Ate at Cafe Smoke Shack recently. The food was fantastic. Service was excellent and our waiter was very attentive. Giant portions, well prepared & we were all extremely pleased with our meal. "Stan, Matt & Marlowe were charming and cordial to all. The owner (Matt/Chef) is one of the nicest and most hospitable folks you'll ever want to meet. Truly cares about his customers. Stay clear of Bill... Why you ask? He was a smug, rude & a disingenuous individual. Brought in six (6) people & spent over $300.00 with no other customers dining that day. He acted like he did us a favor. All of the other employees were wonderful.“

“Great people! Fun atmosphere!“

“If you haven’t gotten a JJ Twig’s burger with a fried egg on it, you are missing out. Big juicy burger cooked up by Sam is exactly how I wanted to spend my lunch today. Friendly people and good food. I will definitely come back to see what Sam is cooking.“

“Perfect neighborhood bar with a pool table inside and patio seating outside. The side winder fries are on my list of favorites in this city. Live music was good and at the right volume to still visit with friends.“

“Love it here!! Great food and wonderful service!!“

“The food is fantastic! The staff are always nice and welcoming. Saturday steak night is the best! 10 out 10!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I’m glad you’re back. I love mother’s fish. I remember eating every Friday“

“I knew the owners of this place. Rose and Tony. My grandma took me down there when I was two. She ran a run down apt complex right next to there. I can’t believe it is still there. Rose and Tony would come to my house for holidays. I will be visiting there soon. It was a nice little dive bar the last time I was there. I worked at the west and cafe. I think rose and Tony were still alive at that point. Like 30 years ago. Love them and I loved this little bar.“

“I drive past this place a lot and never paid it any attention. My friend and I wanted some frozen drinks and food. When I say this place was a pleasant surprise. From the security to the ladies working at the bar we felt cared for. Even the other patrons were really nice. You can tell they are regulars there and we enjoyed that. The drinks were A1 in taste and buzz level. The only “issue” I had was the menu I read about online wasn’t as extensive. I had my heart set on something I didn’t see in person but that’s not a dealbreaker. They will see us again.“

“Stayed in Air BnB across the street awhile back for the wwe Royal Rumble. My brother and I ate here everyday, drank here at night. Laid back atmosphere. I wanted to purchase a shirt and they didn’t have my size, owner went out of his way to go dig and find me one. 10/10 recommend.“

“My Girlfriend and I have been here twice in a 5 month span, both times it was nice and quiet with not much foot traffic, Service was good as both servers were attentive and quick. Food had some good qualities First time had a burger and fries, second time Chicken and Steak taco. The burger was a normal burger that doesn't stand out thought they do give you a good portion of fries that are very good. The steak taco was very good, but the chicken was bland. Overall, we will be back. I do suggest bring cash as they charge a service fee and will discount it if you use cash.“

“My new #1 bar in town. They stock my favorite N.A. Blue Moon beer and have a mushroom Swiss burger so good I feel homesick (mushroom Swiss is exclusive to Wednesday only, very fresh and amazing). Great kitchen, friendly people, cheap drinks, the perfect bar 🍻 cheers!“

“Probably the best tasting fried chicken in town, we have to stop by Fergie's every time we're in town. Their price point is still good, and you can order all dark or white meat for an extra price. The breading is very tasty and the meat is tender and moist.“

“Great staff !! Lots of fun games and just a down home atmosphere!“

“Love this place and the food is so good.“

“Nick (Grass) took care of us very well. Not only was he very friendly, but let us know various types of drinks and the prices of them as well! We would absolutely refer him to anyone we come in contact with looking to have a great but valuable time!“

“One of the best spots to eat downtown—perfect before a game or even on a slower night. The staff has been there for years, and it really shows in the friendly, family-like atmosphere. Great food, fair prices, and consistently good service. Highly recommend!“

“This is my favorite place to go for game days, and the food is always amazing! Great staff and the venue is perfect for groups. I recommend this place to all of my friends coming from out of town :)“

“Had a great time last night! First time ever being there the mechanical bull riding was very fun to watch.“

“Wife and I stopped by while doing our own little bar hop visiting Belleville. First 2 places we visited we weren't impressed with. Saw Demos while looking for other options. Walked in and immediately felt a very welcoming vibe! The bartender (Sam) was great, and she overheard we were hungry for a pizza. She came over and gave us several recommendations, and we ended up going with her personal favorite (Bennie's). Sam, it was really good!!! Thanks for helping out a couple of strangers!! We will be back!!“

“I had my birthday party here. It was awesome! Loved the patio and the owner let us Bluetooth MY playlist to the speakers!?Food was delicous. My guests ALL said they enjoyed everything! I most definitely WILL be returning.“

“Catfish the owner consummate bar owner he remembers everyone and makes a point to greet his customers personally. A Harley rider himself holds group rides on Saturdays during riding season. This is the local location of the annual Blessing of the Bikes . A large outdoor seating area with plenty of property for huge crowds attending several biker events each year. Always some free food on weekends as well as bar food for sale reasonabley priced beer and cocktails.“

“On the way from fireworks, decided to visit for a quick drink while the crowds dispersed. Vibe was great, servers were excellent. We will definitely be back! We occasionally eat at Ruth Chris but will now add this to our evening plans! Excellent and highly recommend!“

“Would definitely recommend! In St. Louis, near the arch, had a toddler with us. After being spoken to rather rudely by a different brewery/bar (had made a reservation error for same brewery, different location that the brewery was very unhappy with and wouldn’t seat everyone even though NOT crowded) and going to another restaurant that wouldn’t accommodate a toddler (‘we only have high seats’) when it was not crowded either, we went to The Pitch. It was AWESOME! Great tasting salads and burgers! No overwhelming noise! Very courteous people there! Was so good our daughter went back for the next day lunch with colleagues and we went again for supper that evening! Burgers sooo good! Desserts sooo good! They even showed the launching of Artemus for everyone to see! We found a gem that day!“

“First time at STL location - 10 out of 10 - Staff/manager/food/the view - The staff made the visit- they were so fun and so so nice!! ❤️ loved the vibe and energy of everyone we dealt with - great job STL!! 3rd floor views ❤️“

“Awesome place!! Have been going here for years. Never disappoints. Security is top of the line. Keeps everything in control and never worries about anything!!“

“Highly recommended best burgers in town“
