50 Best Bars near Ballwin

“Awesome food!! Best in west county!“

“Had a blast with Amy Sampo and Jake!“

“I never even knew this place was here, 15 minutes from where i live. It is cozy with a cool atmosphere for music. It almost reminded me of a small pageant. Its in a historic building. The inside has a nice feel with exposed brick, wood, beams, and wiring but tastefully decorated. Nice bar is there. they DO NOT SERVE FOOD, but they allow patrons to bring in takeout. Im so glad I discovered it. I will be back.“

“Mi Lupita's is our favorite authentic Mexican restaurant. We love the fresh squeezed Margaritas, Chicken Mole Poblano, El Pastor Tacos of pork and pineapple. Great service, atmosphere and everyone is o friendly. Best of luck on your new location.“

“Great place to just meet friends and neighbors. Food is fantastic and staff incredible!!!“

“Great food and staff! Very attentive“

“We were heading to another restaurant in the same but it was no longer there. Charro was in the same complex. I had the grande fajitas, beef, chicken, chorizo an carnitas!!! Our server was very attentive. Nice big bar with lots of cold beverages! Thanks Charro ya'll Rock!“

“Great place. Delicious food and a great hostess! Thanks Nikki! Really takes all precautions to social distancing!“

“Arch Nemesis Brewing is a hidden gem that should be on everyone’s list to visit. This modern yet cozy spot has a welcoming “hole-in-the-wall” charm. Whether you settle into a stool at the bar, sink into a couch, or claim a table, you’ll feel right at home. Grab a board game from the shelf and dive into some of the best hand-crafted libations around. Not sure where to start? Go for a flight to sample the unique creations brewed right on-site – it’s the perfect way to experience the variety they have to offer.“

“Natalya T was our server, and did an excellent job . She was very friendly , and anticipated what we would need. Excellent!“

“My family and I have been going here weekly for years. The staff is awesome and kind. The selection of beer and Liqour is amazing and the food is delicious.“

“We came here with our Boston fan group to watch the Celtics for their title clinching game and had a great experience. The staff was super accommodating and the food was great. We look forward to mixing Ice & Fuel into our game watch rotation in the future!“

“Not sure about all the food-but raves about the hamburger (bar grilled)! Friendly folks, shuffleboard, good drinks!!! Goes on our list of dive bars to visit again!!!“

“The rudest manager I have ever met. the restaurant was only about 30% full and the hostess would not seat us at the table we wanted to sit at, even though 70% of the tables were empty. I asked her to ask the manager, and we still couldn't sit at the table we wanted. So, we decided to leave. On the way out, I stopped at the hostess desk and very politely asked her to pass along to the manager why we were leaving so that he would be aware because if I were manager, I would want to know why my customers left before ordering.. The manager came up behind me while I was telling her that and interrupted me saying to stop talking because he was aware of my opinion. He went on to say that he had been doing this for a long time and knows what he is doing. When I started to respond, he interrupted me again shouting "Stop talking!" and then, "Just leave!" I had made my request for the table very politely and was also very politely asking the hostess to let him know that we were leaving for that reason. To be interrupted twice and yelled at and told to stop talking and just leave in the manor he did so was outrageous behavior verging on threatening. I will never return and will encourage all the groups I routinely go to sports bars with to never return. If you are going to a sports bar to watch your favorite teams, this is definitely NOT the place to go. You will likely not be able to watch the teams you like and will get yelled at if you try. Customer service is definitely not something this place values.“

“I love this bar! Great food! Been coming here forever“

“Great bar, great atmosphere, friendly staff! Great local bar and good drinks! I’ll be back!“

“I’ve been here twice. First time was for my bachelorette party. This boat was perfect! We were put up in the karaoke room right away and our server came up frequently to make sure we had enough drinks and everything was good. It was the perfect night! Then we went again yesterday for my birthday. The drinks were fantastic and there was plenty to keep us entertained while waiting for our turn in the karaoke room. The only flaw in the night was fixed right away by the amazing security staff and the manager! I would only suggest a better system for the karaoke waitlist. We were called for our room and went up only to be told by the waitress (who did not check the waitlist) that someone else had the room and even though they booked after us we needed to leave. I wish I had gotten the names of the security staff and manger because when we brought this issue to them they resolved it right away and we were able to enjoy some karaoke to end the night. Thank you to all the security staff and the manager (those 5 stars for you) for helping end our night on a good note! I will alway recommend this place to people and will gladly go here for any birthday in the future! ❤️ Also we did not eat here but we saw Nachos coming out that looked absolutely 🔥 and if the kitchen had still been open we would have ordered some!“

“Best Bar around..everyone's like family. All holidays are like a family get together. Prices are great. Pet friendly and always doing fun things, poker runs, trivia, karaoke, blues, chili cook offs and fund raisers, Nick is one of a kind owner.“

“I love the Fireplace. It's basically a neighborhood type dive bar. Very friendly people, good drinks and small food offering. They have a pool table, game machines and the best karaoke on Fri and Sat nights.

They have recently had a bit of a facelift and the place looks great. They have also elevated their drinks with holiday special menus. I love the fall caramel apple martini! DELICIOUS! They also make a great white russian for a reasonable price. I've had the smore's dessert which is a cool experience and the pizza which is consistent and good. Service is quick and friendly and sometimes they even have a employee offering food samples.

I really enjoy that the karaoke crowd is kind and there to have a good time. They are friendly and will sing with you and cheer you on. The guy who runs karaoke is polite and does his best with your songs and rotating the list of singers.

They also have the cleanest restrooms I have ever experienced in a bar! This is not the kind of bar you go to and avoid using the restrooms, its one where you feel comfortable and they always have soap and towels for handwashing!

The only downside is that their parking lot is tiny and once its full, you are basically out of luck. There isn't any overflow parking, so I do recommend carpooling if you can.

Parking: Parking lot is tiny, carpool if you can“

“Jamie,Kelly and Kelsie are hands down the best behind the bar! Their energy is infectious, their drinks are top-notch, and their service is unbeatable. Kelly crafts perfect cocktails with skill, while Kelsie keeps the crowd engaged and the vibes high. They work seamlessly together, making every night at the bar an experience.

And let’s not forget Carol, the amazing owner who makes it all possible! She’s created a fantastic spot with a great atmosphere and top-tier staff. If Kelly and Kelsie are on shift, and Carol’s running the place, you’re in for an unforgettable night!“

“I love their food. And iv always been treated very well. My babies love to come here and eat and so far iv not had anything I didn’t like off their menu.“

“This was very very busy place. The food was very good. I ordered a vodka cran in a short glass- very pricey. Rail vodka shot $6, separate charge for the cranberry, $.50. some places do it that way. I'm Not a fan. Fun times, great place, nice people, busy. They don't need me to be a fan of how they manage their inventory. Imagine that. 🤪“

“Everything!!!Great dinner, drinks and atmosphere! Bartenders are on point!“

“Ample parking. Great location.across from the pool . Excellent sports venue for groups or small gatherings of friends. Excellent service drinks for extra strong. Love the atmosphere for a close cozy sporting event or get friends together..“

“Got the Breaded Mushrooms and Onions Rings for a lunch snack this afternoon. Been awhile since I've had them and Clancy's once again did not disappoint! Always recommended to eat at this great place!“

“We had a lovely dinner at NOTO last night. One thing I like about NOTO is their menu changes seasonally which keeps it fresh and exciting. They have amazing Neapolitan pizza which was certified by AVPN in Italy. Service was spectacular. Charming atmosphere. I started off with NOTO house salads. Chefs kiss. Mortadella is a no-brainer for me. My partner got the Salsiccia. They were absolutely delicious. The whole experience definitely brought us back to Italy. We also liked the patata a lot. I did make a reservation one month in advance but it’s worth the wait. Highly recommended!“

“I walked into a classy interior and sat at the bar. I was welcomed there by the owner and he made me feel like a king. I had some fine tequila and ordered the duck. Both were fantastic. The service was wonderful. One of the best duck breast dishes I ever had. Hats off to Westchester for a positive experience“

“Best Fine Dining Restaurant😀😀😀“

“Excellent food and service! Justin and Chris provided excellent service. The staff at the hostess desk were friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back. Very thankful for wonderful gluten-free options“

“I'm coming back simply because John's customer service was exceptional! Keep up the good work John! I made him pose for the photo!“

“Cons
1. The bar stools are far too close together.
2. Even though I was given an extra half pour for the extra long wait in getting my (1) order of wings, which I appreciate greatly, it still took far too long to get my (1) order of wings.
3. No Laphroaig, please stock Laphroaig.

Pros
1. The Kickin' Buffalo wings are out of sight (especially with a Rumple Minze shooter)
2. The bar staff are phenomenal (should actually be #1)
3. Very excellent choice of beers on tap
4. Keep rocking it Kerry“

“The best all around staff in Kirkwood. Thank you for helping to make a wonderful birthday dinner for my daughter! Can’t wait to see you all again!“

“Top- Notch Service. The place is amazing!! We loved the experience and will go again soon!!“

“They have the best Greek salad and wings!!“

“My parents frequent this restaurant. This was my first time. Our server was genuinely sweet and kind and the food was phenomenal. I needed high protein so I opted for the meatballs appetizer as my meal. It was a hearty portion and absolutely delicious. I enjoyed my leftovers for a couple of days. I look forward to going here again“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pictured below is the Gonzo calzone- Salami, dates, spinach, garlic herb cheese, mozzarella, mascarpone-ricotta blend, and garlic oil with garlic butter on the side. My husband looked at me like I was crazy when I read off dates but the slight sweetness against all of that savory is what made it!! We also tried the Fatty B, Meat me in St Louie, Magic Carpet Ride, and the Gyro. They were all amazing but the Gonzo and the Gyro were my favorites. The Magic Carpet Ride is also a must try if you're into mushrooms.“

“These two young gentlemen, Juliyen and Sam! I can tell they enjoy being around people ! All smiles and great conversation. Waffles were okay but they made the atmosphere enjoyable with their welcoming personalities! Had a rough week before and they brightened it.“

“My boyfriend and I ate here before our concert. The food was so good, and I’d never had coconut rice before going here, I absolutely loved it. Our server was so sweet, our drinks were never empty and she took great care of us. If I’m ever in the area again, I’d definitely come back here ☺️“

“Delicious food,great portions, 9/10 recommended“

“Love three kings. We had a great dinner with great service. Maharaja on tap!“

“A quaint Irish themed restaurant with everything one needs to "feel" the vibe. Great Irish food selection and drinks to match. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. Our server, Laura was friendly and pleasant. Served up a great peppermint martini. A holiday season special.“

“My wife and I had lunch there. reasonably priced, food was excellent, great atmosphere. Our waitress was awesome. Thanks Brynne for taking care of us.“

“We went to Astoria for the first time and I was blown away by the wonderful food and service, The lamb and chicken kabobs were very flavorful and juicy. The beef dumplings apps with dill was tremendous. Service was on point. You need to come here and treat yourselves. We are coming back!“
