50 Best Wine Bars near Clayton

“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!“

“You made our anniversary dinner so special! From the table with a rose and a card signed by the staff , desert mini cakes that were perfect finish for a great dinner, and finally, an extra cheese to go on the house, which we didn't expect at all! The service was amazing and the manager stopped by to wish us happy anniversary! Just WOW!“

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

“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.“

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

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“Fantastic dining experience!“

“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!“

“The food and drinks were awesome, but the service was the highlight. Bryn and Karah were both very helpful and knowledgeable. We were stressed from some flight complications and I think they could tell. They went the extra mile to check on us and made sure everything was up to par.

We felt like top priority even while they were balancing taking care of other customers and other work. You can go plenty of places for food and drinks, but its rare to go somewhere and have servers that try to go above and treat their customers like more than a table number.“

“Homemade pasta, great service!“

“great people awesome music“

“Too many superlatives tend to make a review sound insincere, but Black Mountain truly deserves the highest marks in all regards.

Wine & Food, service, atmosphere are all outstanding at this hidden gem in St. Louis.

First, as a wine bar this place excels. The owner seems to have a particular gift for finding unique, superior quality, yet affordable wines. Everything I’ve tried here has been not only excellent but also a fantastic value. A bonus is the often changing selection, providing return customers with a fresh palette of offerings.

Second, the service is unparalleled. The staff know their wine, know their offerings, and can happily point you to something fitting to your tastes. They’re happy to provide a sample to make sure you’re happy. Besides being knowledgeable and helpful, the staff is professional, yet charming and engaging.

Third, the atmosphere is comforting. In colder months the wood burning stove lends a charm that can be found no where else in St. Louis. The bar is a great place to meet new friends or catch up with old ones, while the side room with couches and table, and the small wine shop attached, are nice spots to gain a little quiet privacy. If that’s not enough, the outside garden in the back is great outside option.

Fourth, the food. So it’s a wine bar primarily. Or is it? The food here seems almost an afterthought but is so good. Everything I’ve tasted here (Goat Cheese Tart, Poutine, Crostini, BLAT, Meatballs) have been as good as anything you can find anywhere in the city. The pasta special rivals anything you can find on The Hill. The food should not be overlooked.

Come for the wine, or the service, or the atmosphere, but stay for the food.“

“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!“

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

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

“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! ✨💃🏼“

“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.“

“I stumbled upon this gem on Halloween and it has easy become me and my friends favorite spot to unwind and enjoy a nice cocktail. 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.“

“I come here pretty often and always have such a good experience! Jeff and Neveah are always so helpful, give great service, and have the best recommendations when I’m not sure what to get. The drinks are amazing, the ambience is so nice, and it’s just a really chill place to hang out. Definitely one of my favorite spots!“

“Absolutely amazing dining experience. The locally sourced ingredients made every dish feel fresh and thoughtfully prepared. We did the chef’s selection menu and it was hands down some of the best food I’ve had in a very long time — every course was creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our server was incredible as well, attentive, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even better. One of the best restaurant experiences we’ve had in St. Louis. Highly recommend!“

“Great little place with a great atmosphere.“

“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“

“Great food and excellent service“

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

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

“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!“

“Yaqui's is a great little dive bar and has real music playing all the time. Hadn't been here before, but glad to see two of my favorite performers, Rob & Amy! I ordered the St Louis Classic Specialty Pizza, topped with pork steak and Red Hot Riplets. Dee-Lish!😋 I'll have plenty of lunch leftovers! Also got a delicious Jazzberry drink to chase down the pizza! Love the atmosphere and people who work there! I recommend trying out Yaqui's!“

“Me and my wife are in the area and we’ve eaten tons of pizza all across St. Louis/Missouri and other states, We were going to originally go to somewhere like Rigazzi’s or pizza de Gloria quite a few places actually, But every place was so packed and had long waits we decided to try this place and I am so glad we did one of the best pizzas we’ve ever had and it was only a margarita pizza and four cheese. The dough is very very good and the sauce is savory tastey and the cheese is fantastic very authentic Italian pizza. Loved it will definitely be going here a lot more.“

“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.“

“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…“

“only came for drinks, but they were fantastic and tasted amazing. however I'm pretty sure they accidentally swapped the non-alc and regular cocktail when we were served, so I guess just make sure to double check if you're sober or DD or something“

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

“Came here as it was right around the corner from another event that we attended. I had heard of this place and wanted to try it out. We went on a Thursday and we were the only ones there. This is a really nicely decorated establishment. We ordered 2 drinks and these lemon-pepper type wings that were really more of a honey glaze type wing sauce. Anyways, wings are probably not something you would want to order here anyways. Our drinks were good though. So all in all 2 drinks, 1 order of wings $76 including the tip, so a bit expensive.“

“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! 🥰“

“Wonderful diner! The staff were amazing, so attentive and friendly and welcoming. The food was very fresh and good,. Would definitely return!!!“

“My husband and I came here for our anniversary. I made reservations online and in the comments added that we would be celebrating our anniversary. The restaurant went above and beyond with an anniversary card at the table to sparklers in our dessert! It was so special, a dinner to really remember! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great! We will be back!“

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