47 Best Cocktail Bars near Bridgeton

“what a fun place so friendly awesome bartenders and owner!! You have to try this little hideaway!!“

“This was my 1st time going, it was much on the younger crowd side that night. There was a door charge as well, was not use to a bar and grill charging to get in, but maybe it was an event we was not aware of, the question is will I be back? I will attend again with my siblings and maybe try a drink and some food but I know the mid to younger crowds will definitely enjoy themselves here.“

“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.“

“It was a great time out with family and friends for a birthday celebration! We booked a booth area ahead of our visit with a dart board that had a variety of dart games to play. I had drinks and an appetizer. The drinks and food were delightful! We had so much fun playing the non-traditional dart games!“

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

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

“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.“

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

“Such a fun little local bar with the best vibe. Cheap drinks, great atmosphere, and everyone is super friendly so it’s easy to feel comfortable right away. The jukebox and pool table make it a perfect hangout spot. Sam Shull is awesome on Thursdays, and the bartenders Carly and Kristen are always on top of it. One of my favorite places to go with friends!“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. The atmosphere was excellent and staff was attentive. Full disclosure, I was here for an event involving work and everything was delicious, including the drinks. I can't give a complete recommendation as I did not try any food off the menu. However, I will say that the food that was provided for the group was phenomenal!“

“Remarkable Defined: “Something so striking it makes you want to discuss or remark upon it.” This is Wright’s Tavern’s undercurrent. You feel the need - the obligation even - to touch on every aspect, each component, of this memorable dining experience.

We started with cocktails - sazerac was the crowd pleaser, and conversation starter for the evening. Tried to order one of these in Australia once...

For starters we took advantage of the scallop special and the crab cake - a menu mainstay. What is great about the special is they allow you to scale. Need another scallop? Two? No problem. Both superb and table was split as to which was the better. I leaned to the crabcake, as the scallop, while beautifully crusted, was just cooked enough to require a knife while I would have liked it fork-tender.

For the entrees we ordered the 20oz ribeye but substituted the offered side (mashed) for the dauphinoise potatoes. Astounding. The steak was perfectly cooked, and the dauphinoise may well haunt my dreams. As a steak purist, I was skeptical of their use of sauces and gravies but the mustard jus served with the ribeye is expertly paired. It needs to be noted they consider all the sides that come with their steaks interchangeable, and substitutes are welcomed and all sauces can be served on the side as well. Other entrees were the potato crusted halibut and the steak frites. Both beautifully presented and very enjoyable.

For dessert we ordered the cheesecake and the crème brûlée, the latter was silkier and smoother than what you may find elsewhere while the former was determined by all at the table to be their favorite. Recommend both without hesitation. 5/5

The service IS truly remarkable and I think what separates this venture from its peers. Professional, staid, but in an approachable fluid manner that effortlessly flows throughout the room while being omniscient without omnipresence. It is, however, ever obvious they hope to not have you linger, as after 2 hours our check was presented without request. I didn’t love that, but understand the logistical need. 5/5

Lastly, as noted by others the space is constricted. My neighbor behind me and I had a mini jousting match with our chairs. Even the short walk to your table over uneven floor should be done gingerly as you make your way to your smallish chair. 3/5“

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

“DELICIOUS 🤤 we will be back in town next month and SO excited to dine here again!!“

“🔥 One Stop. All Flavor. Pierce Creek Delivers 🔥 If you’re looking for a true one-stop shop with incredible quality, Pierce Creek absolutely delivers. This place is so much more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience. You’ve got a butcher shop, bakery, deli, soup starters, a bar, and a full restaurant all in one location. It’s the kind of place you can pop into for one thing and leave with five. What really sets them apart is their beef—raised on the owners’ ranch, completely grass-fed with no hormones or steroids. And trust me, you can taste the difference. The atmosphere is spotless, welcoming, and thoughtfully done. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and our food came out hot, fresh, and amazingly quick. Whether you’re in the mood for something casual or a more elevated dining experience, their menu has you covered. I had the mushroom and Swiss double smash burger on a potato bun, and wow—it was packed with flavor. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and everything just worked together beautifully. I paired it with a side of tallow fries that were perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and full of rich flavor. This is definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to again and again.“

“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.“

“We had an amazing time this evening. Met the owner who was awesome and had the best service imaginable. We will definitely be back!“

“I hosted a celebration of life for my mom at Lydia’s and they made it so incredibly special. They were fully staffed with the most amazing people and we never ran out of yummy treats. I have always loved Lydia’s but now they hold a special place in my heart. And Lydia was so kind and thoughtful. I can’t recommend them enough, they have a customer for life!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“Just got home from The BAO and we were very pleased 😀 and excited 😆 because are 34th Wedding 💒 Anniversary was today! I highly recommend this incredible restaurant venue for all occasions. I just added them to my favorites in my phone 📞 Thank you for your professionalism 🥇🙏🏽❤️😇“

“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.“

“First time at Mac’s tonight! We met Mac at the register and he was so kind and gave great suggestions! The food was delicious and while we are sad we didn’t get to try the onion dip (it was sold out!), we’ll definitely be back! The games to play at the table were a huge hit for our son. Don’t change a thing, it’s totally working.“

“One of my favorite places for lunch. The Kirkwood location has a really fun arcade room sure to make any gathering for any ages unique and interesting. The street corn, margaritas, empanadas and three piggies burrito are my favorites!“

“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!“

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

“One of the best happy hour menus in town. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“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!!!“
