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!“

“The steak was superior (sliced filet mignon) a 10/10 and fairly priced. The noise level was acceptable compared to similar venues equally crowded. The service could have been better. I ordered a wedge salad with my steak that never came to the table. We (party of 5) had one round of drinks and weren't asked about drinks again. They brought the check and never asked if we cared for desert or coffee. It may have been a long day for them and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. I will come back ;)“

“Great group of people and the most loyal customer base.“

“My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here.. we had not been to the new location, but had been many times over the last 10 years to the previous location. The food never disappoints. You can spend your whole evening just having a drink and tasting multiple delicious Tapas. And make sure you end the evening with a Bread pudding with caramel sauce, that is amazing! I have nothing but good things to say from the service, to the ambience, to the food, to the atmosphere in general . The second location is definitely a little smaller, but I promise you it is worth a try . Situated in the heart of Clayton, you could not ask for a better evening out. We are all better for them having reopened -a staple place to why St. Louis restaurants have us all spoiled.😃 Thank you !“

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

“I had almost 2 hours before I was to board my plane. I love a good wine bar. We have plenty in Dallas, so I thought I’d give it a try. I give them five stars! I bought a bottle of wine to take home with me, I had a panini and a flight of wine. The staff were very nice and personable. I loved it.“

“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.“

“Went here for a friend's celebration. Was served a glass of wine that was clearly oxidized/corked; one of the bartenders doubled down and said "well it's also not my favorite red wine." Otherwise, service was great and staff were nice. Paper plane and Enzoni (cocktails) were delicious.“

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

“Great place to kick back and enjoy an excellent selection of wine. Laid back and friendly atmosphere
Great service and interesting menu. Had an interesting conversation with Jim, one the partners. Definitely will be back next time in St. Louis
Highly recommended.“

“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!“

“I came into town with my family last night and we came to Robust for the first time! The food was amazing and our server Brittney was fantastic, her and Devin mutually provided great service as well as a great time and experience. Brittney had very great table presence and serving manners. After years in the industry, I know that’s hard to come by!! We will be back because of this experience next time we visit stl!!“

“Went for the Rocky Maverick show 10/16 and it was my first time on this side of the venue. I walked in and the guy who greeted me looked at the digital ticket, then led to my seat. I just love the ambiance and the lighting makes it so much more intimate. I didn't eat food, but definitely ordered a couple of whiskey mules that were strong and delicious! Shout out to Louis(the bartender) for his professionalism, but still able to mingle with partrons and bartend properly! Bathrooms were super clean, but inconveniently on the lower level lolbvs. I gotta say Rocky Maverick and his band left us with an experience to last a lifetime and I look forward to attending more shows.“

“We came in with a party of 14. We were seated in a dark back room. We had to use the flashlights on our phones to read the menu. Drink menu is deceiving, I ordered an old fashion and was charged $6 for the drink and $8 for the whiskey. The first drink tasted like orange and simple syrup only, not good. Everyone's food came out at different times with one person not receiving their food until after everyone else was done eating. The pomfret tots were NOT good. No one at our table liked them, they were pasty, dense fried mashed potato balls, basically. Our waiter had ZERO personality and was not friendly. When we left and walked through the front it was like a different restaurant. The tables in the front had good lighting and that area of the restaurant had a different ambiance and vibe. It was like we walked into a completely different restaurant. Not the worst place I've ever been but definitely not good. No one in our party was impressed, we will not be back.“

“Strong argument for the best sushi in St Louis. We had the 10 course tasting menu from the social hour menu and it was incredible. The Isaan Hamachi was the best single bite of food I had in 2024. Remarkable clarity of flavor in everything.“

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

“Fantastic dining experience!“

“Homemade pasta, great service!“

“A hidden gem in St Louis. Wood burning fireplaces, an awesome patio with a pizza oven, and amazing food options. Stop in for a quick drink or spend an evening or afternoon with friends—such a great place! Wine Tasting Mondays are a must and Pasta Tuesdays aren’t too shabby either. Stop in and say hi to Joe!“

“As an event planner, I highly recommend Olive + Oak. Organized, extremely helpful, on it in every single way. The event space is wonderful, and they absolutely understand how their venue works. Best of all - every single employee that I came into contact with was beyond kind, helpful & fast. Do not hesitate to add Olive Oak+ Oak to your list of possible venues - and if they have the date open, snag it! You will NOT be disappointed.“

“Great little place with a great atmosphere.“

“Great service. Great food. Wonderful staff!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“Staff is fabulous and friendly! Great food!“

“Great food and excellent service“

“a great little fun place. excellent selection and friendly staff“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“I came here on a Friday night with a couple of coworkers to celebrate the weekend and for one of them, who was leaving for another opportunity in another city. It was a going-away get-together. The night we came here was super busy, and there was no open table since it was a busy Friday night. However, the host informed us that for $25, we could go to their cigar bar and lounge and buy a cigar and pay the fee, so we just did that.

The cigar bar was nice. It was on the second floor with a private entrance, where the host escorted you to the bar. The cigar bar was spacious, like the same floor surface of the first floor, without the rush of crowded people. You have a bar and bartenders exclusively for the cigar bar, and the fee was worth it, especially when trying to avoid the weekend rush.

All the drinks that we ordered that night were strong and delicious!

I highly recommend this bar if you are in the CWE area. Cheers!“

“My friends and I went here for our monthly dinner meet up. The food beautifully plated and delicious. We had the 10 tasting menu and you can tell that the dishes were carefully planned. The restaurant is beautiful inside and out. Our server Lee was very pleasant, helpful and friendly. Will definitely be back.

Parking: We found parking on the street.“

“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! 🥰“

“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…“

“The Johnny Cash was legit one of the best things I've ever eaten!“
