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!“

“Great staff. Great menu. Fun time“

“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+“

“Pizza and pasta was delicioso!“

“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!“

“My fiancé booked me a special dinner for my 30th birthday. Big ups to our server Greg! He did a phenomenal job. He was friendly, attentive, and very funny. He's definitely the type of server you want to go back to. We also enjoyed our food and drinks. We will be back! We loved every minute of our experience.Thank you again, Greg and the Capital Grille staff!“

“Absolutely FANTASTIC💚❤️💚Such a cute place. ESPECIALLY for their pop up Christmas. People are very welcoming and it's just a cool environment.“

“While I did not eat there myself, I called in from 600 miles away to surprise my son and his girlfriend! They were there to celebrate his birthday and the news that he had just passed the Bar exam! The staff were just as excited to be in on the plan as I was - they asked all the right questions to make sure it went down exactly as I envisioned and even called me afterwards to let me know it was a success! This South Carolina Mom really appreciated how the restaurant took the extra time on a busy Friday night (Halloween no less) to make patrons feel special! THANK YOU!“

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

“Veg stuff labeled on menu, and others (flatbread) can be made vegan to order (and they loaded ours UP with toppings). The vegetables was super fresh in a way that’s rare for airports. Not a long list of vegan options, but g if you’re just eating here once!reat Updated from previous review on 2026-01-09“

“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“

“Robust Wine Bar is our favorite restaurant for great wine, excellent food, exceptional service, and the best environment for a romantic dinner, celebrations, or just great times with friends. Our server, Aiden, was terrific, suggesting a perfect wine for dinner. We even bought a bottle to take home! We will always consider Robust as our special occasion restaurant. Love this place!“

“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!“

“Absolutely incredible food and service here. We’ve done both dinner and brunch. One of our favorite spots in STL. Highly recommend“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Fantastic dining experience!“

“Homemade pasta, great service!“

“Drove around trying to find a food and wine spot at 9pm and this place filled in what I was looking for and much more. Super cute spot, not busy, calming ambiance, delicious food and wine. My bartender was so friendly. 10/10 highly recommend.“

The Passport is relaxing, family ran , and very intimate, the music is 10/10, the drinks are handcrafted by some amazing Bartenders who knowledgeable and friendly, it’s a must try! I definitely know you won’t be disappointed!“

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

“We had a great dinner. Kids had the steak and unlike many places, they were willing to go as rare as my 8 year old wanted for her child size steak which was nice. Service was also great, excellent timing and attention. …and bit off topic but if the hostess with the curly red hair sees this, I hope you know that your natural runway walk doesn’t need to be ignored.. if you aren’t modeling, you should be! ✨💃🏼“

“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.“

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

“Staff is fabulous and friendly! Great food!“

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

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

“Great food and excellent service“

“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“

“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.“

“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! 🥰“

“On 12/30 we went to Brennan’s on what should have been a slow night (day before NYE), so they were short staffed. The two people who staffed the bar were so professional and attentive. We had a large group and never felt like we had to wait for service. Professionalism goes a long way. Brennan’s should be proud of their employees. I hope everyone tipped them well!“

“We ordered this pizza through doordash and received the wrong pizza. We went back to the store because doordash was entirely unhelpful and the owner replaced our pizza for the correct one for no charge. He was very kind and helpful as well!“
