50 Best Wine Bars near Clayton

“I think this may be my new favorite restaurant in St. Louis. The ambience alone is absolutely beautiful, but combine that with amazing food and impeccable service and you have a winner. Best oysters I’ve ever had, and those Gruyère puffs are insanely good. I had the Bavette steak, and my husband had the chicken cordon bleu… Incredible! You cannot miss out on the drinks; the cocktails are so good and the spritz hour is a great deal. Highly recommend!“

“THE BEST dinner we’ve had in the past three years! The cauliflower appetizer, the romaine salad, and sea bass main course were outstanding! The service was perfect, and the ambiance and decor were terrific. Congrats to Michael and his team. A+“

“Great staff. Great menu. Fun time“

“We had an engagement party held at Clayton Winehouse. The space was perfect! They were easy to work with, and the best part was we could bring in our own food. We had many dietary restrictions with guests and were able to accommodate them since we had food made specifically for them. The bartender was on point all evening!! When we got there, none of the decorations were working out and the bar tender fixed them all. She was truly amazing and made the stress disappear. At the end of the event, I look over and she had things packed up. She was fabulous and had a great personality. I highly recommend Clayton Winebar for your social gatherings and I hope we have a reason to use them in the future. Oh, and the wine….mmmmm!“

“The Capital Grill in Clayton was outstanding. The ladies at the front desk greeted us warmly and say us right away and wished us a happy anniversary. The young man that Brough out our waters and bread was friendly and also wished us a happy anniversary. Our waiter was dinner friendly and brought us champagne, and also wished us a happy anniversary. The manager came by to check on us during the meal and sent drinks out to us. The meal was incredible and was highlighted by my wagyu filet. I've never had a better steak in my life. At the end of a marvelous dinner the waiter brought out some complimentary dessert. I am a big believer that it's the little things that make an experience become great over just good. The Capital Grill has great food and excellent service, but on top of that they do all the little things right. It's something that you remember and tell others. We would highly recommend.“

“Pizza and pasta was delicioso!“

“Dakota killed the dishes, Jessica and Eddie kept our drinks full while at the bar. Food was excellent and must stop when visiting St Louis“

“I’ve come here for dinner several times. It’s great for a date night with my husband or for birthday dinner with the family. I’ve truly enjoyed everything we’ve ordered.“

“went there for a birthday party everything was great about it from the drinks to the staff nice chill environment will definitely go back soon!“

“The food is fire. Really haven’t found anywhere in a while that compares“

“Id give 10 stars if I could. Neighborhood wise, cannot by any means judge a book by its cover. this place is an absolute diamond in the rough with an incredibly beautiful interior and many wonderful surprises inside. The owner was kind, friendly, and personable. I felt like we were genuinely good friends after our short visit. I am upset that we discovered this place at the end of our vacation otherwise we wpuld have spent the whole day here. He has been in business just about one year and gave us a full tour of what's to come. the initial inside is a full bar of wine, liquor, and beer. we toured the back that has a gorgeous patio space, and beyond that is a cigar lounge. TVs and theater seating. he then showed us the speakeasy. through the secret door against the wall, you walk upstairs and find an additional whole wine bar with 1930s themed speakeasy vibes. I cannot wait to come back to st. Louis in a couple years and see everything finished and ready to roll. such an innovative and awesome place I wish our hometown had.“

“Absolutely great experience and the food was phenomenal!“

“Love this place my first time here ❤️❤️🍷❤️❤️“

“Every time I eat at one of their locations the food is so good and comes out so quick! This time I ate at the STL location and ordered the meatballs with a salad. SO FLAVORFUL. Whomever the chef is deserves all the kudos. I ate my food so quickly before I could even think to take a pic. Also the staff who took my order and waited on me were so quick and unobtrusive with their service. I want to have all my layovers here. Lol.“

“First time going and loved the vibe/decore!!! Met the owner and so enjoyed her and the hospitality!!! Definitely will be going back!! The food/drinks/music was so enjoyable!!!“

“Such a fun place! Amazing interior design & huge back patio. Everything done with an artist’s touch. Excellent wine choices, and craft beer choices. I particularly liked the craft cocktails! Super fun and friendly staff. I would definitely recommend! Great spot for date or small group.“

“Friendly atmosphere, great ambience, good prices. A gem in the City of Ferguson.“

“We had a great experience at Robust - Billy was our waiter and he was terrific. Great help with the wine list and on top of things service wise. The house salad was memorable and unusual; my friend and I both loved it. Crab cakes were very good as well.“

“I think the atmosphere and wine itself is great, but this facility is SUPER deceiving. I came with a larger group, but when I checked out, the tip being shown seemed low, but the server does not inform you that’s because they’re already adding a 22% tip on your receipt. It is a digital checkout, so they just show you the total, no physical receipt of the purchase breakout. I also received an extra crostini for the app I ordered and without being told, I was charged for this extra bread. If they were upfront about the fees, it would be different, but they aren’t. Incredibly disappointing to try and support a local company that’s stealing during this current economic state.“

“Great neighborhood wine bar ! Amazing selection of wines by the glass but their wines by the bottle list is outstanding! and they’re all available for purchase to go. The Owners Jessica & James are wonderful hosts, also checkout the cool backyard/patio area, I highly recommend, this place is a new favorite of mine.“

“It's a very relaxing atmospere. The service waa great. I was. invite to see the Live Band "The Curch Boys" featuring Jessie Prather. What an awesome group“

“Such great food but our server made the experience!! Thank you Bryan Humphrey for the wine recommendation and food! The goat cheese stuffed dates was the perfect end to a perfect night!“

“Sasha’s on DeMun delivers exactly what a neighborhood wine bar should: confident food, a thoughtful beverage list, and an easygoing patio vibe. The standout at my visit was the French dip—served on a crisp, well-toasted baguette with generously seasoned, tender roast beef. The au jus had real depth (beefy, not overly salty) and elevated every bite. Portion size was satisfying without being heavy, and the plating was tidy.

Service was attentive and professional—waters stayed full, pacing was relaxed, and the staff knew the menu. The patio is comfortable for a leisurely lunch, and the marble-topped tables add a touch of polish. If there’s a quibble, it’s that the sandwich could use a small side (greens or fries) to round out the plate, but the quality of the main more than compensates.

Overall, a reliable, classy spot for a casual meal or a glass of wine with elevated café fare. I’d happily return—especially for that French dip.“

“4 stars for fingerling potatoes. 5 stars for Sleigh Bells “Rill Rill”.“

“AMAZING food and incredible service. Jeff, our server, was very friendly and welcoming. He took his time walking us through the menu and answering all of our questions. The sushi here is next level and unlike anything I’ve experienced anywhere else. My wife and I cannot stop talking about our experience here!“

“Homemade pasta, great service!“

“Fantastic dining experience!“

“A hidden gem. Have been many times and have enjoyed every time. The food is simple and delicious, the staff makes great suggestions for drinks and cheese and the playlist is perfect ambience. The spritz are a must! The free wine tastings on Monday are a great way to get to know wine. A STL favorite“

“Great wine, place to lounge and relax with friends . Best bartender and server“

“It was a rare out of town date night for us and we chose Olive and Oak for a couple reasons. They were open late on Sunday and the menu looked amazing. From start to finish, this was a wonderful dining experience. The NA mocktails were amazing. The atmosphere is stunning. We tried several different things on the menu and were not disappointed by any of them. Our server, Jordan, was fantastic. My boyfriend is a restaurant owner/chef in Columbia and to watch him truly enjoy every bit of that meal made my heart happy as well. We will absolutely be back. Many times:)“

“I have eaten here several times in the last few months, and I was very pleased with every aspect of the restaurant. The food selection and preparation was amazing, , the atmosphere was inviting and appealing, and the service was great! Very glad we've been there!“

“Love this place! Always a great hang and the music is performed by some of the best artists in St. Louis! Food is spectacular Italian comfort food, and presented with such care and detail. I’m positive that the summer will bring a lot of attention to their elevated patio. Go check it out!!!“

“This is an excellent spot. Craft beer lovers should check it out.“

“Great little place with a great atmosphere.“

“Last night’s visit to Farmhaus for my birthday celebration was truly exceptional. From the moment we stepped into this delightful farm-to-table establishment, we were enveloped in an ambiance of enticing aromas, cozy warmth, and genuine authenticity. The food, a harmonious blend of flavors and freshness, left us utterly speechless. Opting to share our selections among the three of us, each dish we sampled proved to be a culinary masterpiece. It was evident with each plate’s arrival that they were crafted with meticulous attention to detail and a dedication to using only the finest ingredients. From the irresistible appetizers to the delectable entrees and divine desserts, every bite was sheer perfection. We found it impossible to choose a favorite, as each dish offered a sublime combination of simplicity and flavor. The service was equally impressive, with the staff effortlessly balancing fine dining attentiveness with a laid-back charm. The impeccable timing of each dish’s delivery, coupled with the staff’s friendly yet professional demeanor, made us feel genuinely cherished and attended to throughout the evening. If I had to highlight one dish that stole the spotlight, it would undoubtedly be the wahoo fish with asparagus cream sauce. Caught fresh by the chef himself just days before, it stands as a true testament to Farmhaus’s unwavering commitment to sourcing the freshest ingredients. Truly, each dish we enjoyed was a culinary revelation, from the irresistible beef carpaccio with its luscious ancho spiced whipped cream to the rich and savory osso bucco, and the remarkably tender and flavorful beef skewers. And let’s not forget the delicately sweet strawberry tarte, a perfect ending to an exquisite meal. As a Taurus foodie who savors the nuances of fine flavors and a welcoming ambiance, I can wholeheartedly attest that Farmhaus has secured a permanent place in my heart. I hope to make dinner at Farmhaus an annual birthday tradition for many years to come!“

“Great food and excellent service“

“We ordered five meals. All of them were superb. The staff was warm friendly and courteous. The atmosphere was pleasant.“

“My partner and I were impressed with the friendliness of service and amazing food. We will definitely go back. 5-star place, for sure.“

“The Avenue came highly recommended and lived up to its reputation. I joined my siblings for lunch here. The staff was friendly and attentive. The lunch menu was expansive and delicious. I recommend the pear cocktail and manhattan winter. W enjoyed the French on Mon soup, beet salad, penne with mushrooms, schnitzel sandwich, and classic creme bruise.“

“Staff is fabulous and friendly! Great food!“

“Friendly staff, but slow. A lot of their food looks good but I've only had the pizza, which I always find a little disappointing (always a burnt edge and just not something to write home about). The highlight is the atmosphere and the great live jazz music. Definitely a community spot with lots of regulars.“

“Ok, here’s the thing… I love food. And when I say I love food, you might think I’m a huge person or a food critic or a chef or just a dramatic fan. Well, I am actually an artist, and I… I can tell you in no uncertain terms, that the food we received was *high art.* I don’t mean the kind of pretentious high art food that is served in tiny portions and so beautiful that you almost don’t want to eat it. I mean that it was masterfully created—flavorful, textured to perfection, filling, and lamentable *only* in that I wish I’d had room for more. We started with the stuffed mushroom appetizer—which I’ll admit is not usually my favorite, but my wife generally loves—served upon a sprinkle of arugula and a slashed drizzle of balsamic glaze. Imma tell ya… I like stuffed mushrooms now. My wife ordered an entrée of eggplant Parmesan—one that she doesn’t care to make often for herself only because (and I’m quoting), “It’s a pain in the a$$ to cook.” I ordered linguine Pomodoro with added shrimp and had the steamed mussels appetizer served with my entrée, so that I could add them in (as I *do* love a tutto mare). Since my wife’s entrée was one of her favorites, and I don’t generally care for it, I left her to it, concentrating on my own. I shucked all the mussels and strained their accompanying shallots and bacon into my linguine leaving the garlic and cilantro pesto behind for bread dipping. OH [*clap*clap*clap*]—I forgot to mention the bread. They served a fantastic mini loaf of the softest bread topped with caramelized onions alongside fresh grated Parmesan in olive oil. Upon our finishing it off, I asked for a second helping. Back to the entrée… My first actual bite was of the mussels, and that bite was fantastic. Then I had one of the shrimp… and… here’s the thing… I am a poet, and I also write children’s books, so when I tell you that I simply do not have a superlative sufficient to describe the shrimp, you know I’m being serious. It was warm, seasoned, and snappy as shrimp should be, but it gave me pause—as Anton Ego in Ratatouille. * First, doubt—that I had experienced something so specifically wonderful before * Then, a quick scan from childhood to now for confirmation * And lastly, the comfort that can only come from those happiest memories of childhood—Christmas mornings on receiving more than you could ever have hoped for, Halloween nights’ preparations for what giggles and terrors were to come, and burrito-you ensconced in soft blankets straight from the dryer Then of course, the rest of the dish, twirled and slurped—not too quickly… every bite a confirmation and yet still a revelation. Here again, my only lament that I must see a portion of it boxed to leave room for dessert. And… dessert. Oh, boy… Seeing all of the items, my wife and I—in celebration of our 26th anniversary—decided on the sampler. Listen up, folks: flourless chocolate torta, crème custard napoleon, and gooey butter cake. JFC are you serious? Every bite more sumptuous—more scrumptious than the last. Every bit a reassurance that I will return. Our server, Chelsea, was commendable not only for her menu knowledge and sense of humor, but it’s not for nothing that she was absolutely on top of it with regard to my tea refills (which were many, as our dinner took place after a dehydratingly-busy workday for me). We will definitely be returning to Eleven Eleven, whereupon I intend to try a few different items, my palate then flooded with new sensations—new wonders… my only lament that I will not ever have that “first time experience” again.“

“Pasta con Broccoli sauce was like water, no flavor! Moved the noodles to my wife’s dish and took it home. Service was good. Stuffed Mushrooms were ok. Won’t go back“

“Phenomenal wine mat and the charcuterie boards are well presented. Definitely a place to visit!“

“Sublime! The food here is delicious. The hummuses are second to none! Tel Aviv right in the heart of St. Louis.“

“One of the best parts of St. Louis food culture, this restaurant exemplifies Italian Pasta at its finest. Well done!“

“What an amazing night for my son at the Autism Speaks gala to be paired with the kindest and most talented chefs from Flemings in St. Louis. Thank you for all of your support! 🥰“

“Great drinks and atmosphere! Absolutely loved the Don't Worry About It cocktail, and I am not usually a bourbon gal. The staff so kindly shared the recipe with me to make at home.

Highly recommend and will visit again if back in the area.“

“Enjoyed a fun lunch celebrating my wife’s 70th birthday!!! We hadn’t been here for 52 years. RGHS prom !!!“

“Late dinner - we were in the mood for something Italian - food is fabulous - we choose lasagna and risotto - both dishes were yummy and plenty left over for lunch tomorrow - FYI: Their salad are the best!! Kayla and the house staff were fabulous as well… we will be back soon…“
