50 Best Cocktail Bars near Bridgeton

“Pretty nasty hole in the wall. Thank God it's shut down.“

“nice atmosphere, good ventilation“

“It was a very nice vibe and food. Very close seated to the next table. Hookah is done while you are eating. I knee that is a turnoff for some. It's kids friendly in the day time. The DJ was awesome. Food was great, only rub was the greens were a little salty for my liking, everything else was great. Will go back for brunch again.“

“Let’s get one thing straight, the Arancini Bites at 360 Westport are not food… they’re a full-blown personality trait.
I ordered them thinking, “Yeah yeah, fried rice balls, how life-changing could this really be?”

Turns out… I was wildly unprepared.
These things show up looking all casual, golden, minding their own business, then you take one bite and suddenly you’re sitting there in silence, questioning why you’ve tolerated lesser appetizers your entire life. Crispy on the outside, molten three-cheese chaos on the inside like it was engineered by someone who clearly understands power.

And then they hit you with the marinara, not some sad side sauce, but a full supporting actor that deserves billing. Pecorino romano comes in hot with that salty punch, and the truffle oil? Just enough to remind you that you’re eating something way out of your league.

Here’s the problem… they only give you so many. Which is bold. Because now you’re sitting there doing math, deciding which “friends” at the table you’re willing to cut out of your life so you can secure one more bite.

By the end, I wasn’t sharing. I wasn’t talking. I wasn’t even pretending to be a decent human being. I was protecting the last arancini like it was my retirement plan.

360 Westport didn’t just make an appetizer, they created a situation.
Order them. And if you don’t… stay home.

You’re not ready.“

“Shout out to Al’s Lounge for donating school supplies to deserving children in the community! We appreciate the support for our youth!“

“Go to this bar. Bike parking right up front, every band I've seen so far are all very good, I immediately made friends with everyone there, I became family in 3 visits. Everyone watches out for everyone, no fights, drinks are very reasonable, there's good parking around back. The bar owner Judy commands respect and everyone loves her. If you like slayer, and pink Floyd, and grateful dead, and megadeth, this is the bar. I'd say it's my favorite bar period.“

“Always a fun place to go to have a relaxing time!!“

“This little dive bar is so adorable. There were a couple of pups there which i loved. But im not sure if dogs are allowed so they might have been service dogs. The bartender was very nice and i even got "gonged" for being a first timer. It sucks they dont serve food. But the regulars there were very nice and welcoming. There is a touch tunes juke box available. Only down side is that there is smoking allowed inside. But i will definitely be back because it was a great experience.“

“Friendliest hidden gem EVER. Fun, loving clientelle! Go Dream Factory Team!!“

“So..... this place is a hidden gem in Clayton. You gotta check out the High Bar up on the 11th floor of the AC Hotel, operated by Marriott. Everyone from the GM and manager to the wait staff and bartenders were extremely helpful, professional and on their 'A' game for the entire evening. They have a great bar with nice spacious booths, tables and a lounge area with leather sofas for seating. The entire hotel staff was amazing, including the front desk clerks and valet. Highly recommend.“

“My only comment for improvement is regarding the unfriendly hostess on August 14.“

“Stayed up late and made a reservation a month in advance for my hubby‘s birthday and it was well worth it. Wright’s has a romantic & moody vibe, perfect for a date night. We started off with the crab cake which was by far the most delectable bite we had. An absolute must have! For our entrees, we chose the potato-crusted halibut and 14oz New York strip. The halibut was delicate in flavor, but the lemon beurre blanc sauce packed richness. Unfortunately the NY strip was disappointing. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare, however the steak & crust itself was dry & tough. We would recommend future guests just stick with the seafood entree options, as they were absolutely delicious. The onions rings were good as is, but the tavern aioli made them great. The service we received was impeccable. Overall, we still had a 5 star experience at Wright’s and will be back!“

“Stuffed squash blossom, delicious!! Did not get the margarita had a different cheese pizza with garlic can’t remember the name. It was great except 2 slices had no cheese. Will definitely be back but need more cheese!!“

“We really enjoyed the food and atmosphere can’t wait to come back!!! My husband had the salmon, rich and broccoli this was cooked to perfection! I had the fish tacos they were so good. Our desert was carrot cake & raspberry lemon cake they melted in our mouths. This restaurant gets 10 stars we absolutely love it!!!“

“This place is so good. Relaxing atmosphere, great service, and the drinks are to die for. My husband and I aren’t big drinkers but we will be back for sure.“

“Enjoyed the food, wine , and atmosphere. We stopped for lunch today and we will sure to be back.“

“Timothy’s by far surpassed my expectations in every aspect! The service was exceptional. The food was to die for, so much flavor. The drinks were fun and balanced. The atmosphere was intimate and moody. I will be telling everyone I see on the sidewalk about this restaurant! I can’t wait to go back!“

“Great dining experience. Attentive and engaging wait staff. From the opening cocktails to the meal finish, all selections were uniquely and well prepared. Created one of those memorable meals that will be discussed many times in the future.“

“Wow this place was amazing, I cannot wait to go back next time I’m in town!!! The menu was a unique take on brunch familiar brunch items. Everything sounded so good it was tough to decide what to get. We all got different meals to share and all of it was delicious! And pretty big portions, oh it was SO good. I had a medicinal mushroom coffee tasted great and had me feeling great all day.“

“Just enjoyed my piece of coconut cream pie for breakfast (no judging 😂) that I brought home last night, and Oh My Goodness 😋 It was absolutely the best coconut pie I have ever had! We love it at Lydia’s - the atmosphere is warm and inviting, the cocktails are exceptional and fun flavors (and all the flavors are created in house!) and the employees are friendly and helpful. Highly recommend a Girls Night Out, date night, or coffee with friends here!“

“One of our favorite bars! So friendly and fun! Best music and great friendly bartenders!“

“The food is absolutely DELICIOUS! And the staff is amazing! Also the bloody Mary’s are to die for! I highly recommend this restaurant!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“My wife and I went to Nixta last light for her birthday. We cannot say enough rave reviews! The atmosphere was romantic, chic and cozy. The food was EXCELLENT considering that I normally do not like Mexican food. The fish tacos and chicken tacos were superb. The tortilla chips were so good and the flan was the topping to a great night.“

“What a wonderful end to our day. fast friendly clean and the food was AMAZING... not to mention the drinks, stout and made right. 10/10 Love this spot.“

“We had our company holiday party here and they did an amazing job. the ambience was PERFECT, food was amazing, drinks were awesome and the staff was delightful. The evening was a huge hit with everyone, I'm certain many of us will be back for a dinner or group event, can't go wrong.“

“AMAZING FOOD ! Bao was so soft and warm . The soft shell crab was fried perfectly. Couldn’t recommend this place more .“

“I drove down to the Boind’ry last night ( June 10, 2022 ) for drinks and dinner and a great time because it’s not only an after work businessman v bar but a mix of wealthy and not so wealthy clientele and sadly it was closed with 4 or 5 guys sitting in the bar talking who I am assuming we’re the owners.Come on guys do NOT shut Boundry down forever because I can tell you better that anyone what made your restaurant / bar the “it spot” for so many years and standing room only most nights in the bar….it was the super cool bartenders like Bruce doing magic tricks and all the other cool bartenders and attractive wait staff that poured great drinks and bartenders were all very entertaining!A bartender can either make or break a bar environment!Any problems of lost customers can be directly attributed to losing colorful charismatic bartenders so hire some great bartenders and open again and word will spread like wildfire and the line of crowds will be down the block again waiting to get in!Some restaurants have free hors d’oeuvres or shrimp or taco bar but none of that matters! What does matter is your bartenders!Years ago at TGI Friday on Ellison Place they had the best bartenders in town doing juggling tricks with bottles the bartenders nickname was Psycho! LolWonderful memories … same for Boundry!So stop obsessing over the menu and get the best bartenders and friendliest and funny and attractive bartenders possible and the Biundry will be the now “it spot” again for another 20 years!“

“This place is no longer a bar. AAA Tripe is using this location until her new location is ready for business

Vegetarian options: No specific veggies for sale.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it is wheelchair accessible“

“Fantastic as always! Probably the best burger in St. Louis. These 2oz smash burgers are seared to perfection.The Louie was a nice choice with sautéed peppers and onions. Next time I’d add a third party.Pro tip, there’s a gated parking lot but it’s free!“

“Exceptional food and Antonio Bartender!“

“I came into st luois for work trip and came across kreugers. It was the perfect place to have a great evening. Out of my entire trip i had the most memorable night here. The food here was on point the chef Johnathan suggested we try the smash burger and im glad I took his recommendation I did not expect how delicious it would be. If your looking for a great enviourment with some tasty eats ide recommend dropping by!!“

“It was wonderful!!! Food, atmosphere, EVERYTHING!❤️“

“The food was delicious and the wait staff were fabulous! Lico is a fabulous waiter“

“An FYI for St Louis area friends. We had brunch at Eclipse (Moonrise Hotel) and the food prep was excellent! It's a shame that we were the first people they had today; they opened at 9am and we arrived at noon. 😬 Give them a try!“

“The best eggs Benedict I have ever had! Muffins toasted perfectly, eggs done perfectly, delicious hollandaise, the most crispy & meaty ham/bacon ever... all served warm from a smiling server! The waitress was so sweet and accommodating with our family including our daughter and two young grandchildren. The hostess who seated us was so friendly. So, from beginning to end we had a wonderful experience! Thank you all so much!“

“We had my niece’s 25th birthday here and I was a fabulous party. We asked for Becky to serve us which she always does with exuberant smiles and attention. Matt, Satchmo’s owner, was here and mingled with us like any bar/restaurant should. As a chef, this tells me volumes of how he runs his establishment. I religiously order the pork green chili(which is phenomenal) and the fish and chips were to die for, exactly how I like it. This place is the quintessential neighborhood bar!“

“When I walked in, I realized the place was packed, but we were hoping the wait wasn't too long, they quoted 45 minutes, which was a little too long for us. There was 5 of us and we decided to sit at the bar. And I'm sure glad we did. We had a bartender, I forgot her name, but she had purple hair, she was the absolute best. Not only did she make amazing drinks, she made sure our food came out right and hot. She also entertained us the whole time we were there, by engaging in conversations. You don't see that very much these days. If there was a word better than perfect, that's how I would describe it. I'll definitely be sitting at the bar more often.“

“Thank you so much for making our first experience at Red Robin a great one Our son has some food allergies and you all made it easy for him to have a great meal!!! Thank you all again!!!“
