50 Best Bars near Earth City

“We were just waiting for our hotel room to be ready and my daughter wanted to add shrimp to her quesadilla and the chef came out to ask her questions to make sure he made her the perfect dish. She said it was one of the best things ever. Will come back before our trip is over“

“This place is such a hidden gem. The staff are beyond friendly, the bar has delicious drinks for good price, and so many activities to do. This is definitely a place I will come back to with my friends. Thank you, Mark, for showing us the amazing VR experience!!“

“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.“

“This place is the most welcoming, warm, full of good people dive bar I have ever been to in my life. Lots of pinball machines, wonderful bartenders and patrons, Dan-o's pizza if you get hungry. The pinball machines are half the cost. They are anywhere else that I've been to. The owners are amazing. And the people are such a great group of people. This place has been my home bar for 4 years and I don't see that changing. I always feel safe, welcome, and protected when I am in this bar. Highly recommend, especially if you are into pinball and punk rock“

“We moved in across the street and heard good things about the place. They’re often busy and it always smells amazing so we grabbed a couple burgers for lunch today. The pine room burger and the patty melt were both 10/10. We will definitely be visiting more often!“

“Arch Nemesis Brewing is a hidden gem that should be on everyone’s list to visit. This modern yet cozy spot has a welcoming “hole-in-the-wall” charm. Whether you settle into a stool at the bar, sink into a couch, or claim a table, you’ll feel right at home. Grab a board game from the shelf and dive into some of the best hand-crafted libations around. Not sure where to start? Go for a flight to sample the unique creations brewed right on-site – it’s the perfect way to experience the variety they have to offer.“

“Great food and service! Pizza, burgers, and steak night are my favorites! Great service and friendly atmosphere. Music, trivia, and other fun activities!“

“Great pizza 🍕 and good chicken wings oh yeah don’t forget that BJ’s have ice cold beers 🍻“

“I have heard about this place for years! It is as awesome as everyone said!!!“

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

“Awesome place! Visiting from WA for our friends wedding. The food was amazing especially the wings. I was blown away by the level of customer service, they absolutely rock. Sucks I gotta go back to WA 🤣“

“Saw a friend's band play here on a Saturday night. Place was hopping. Drunk girls dancing and falling over. Lol. They had KENO, 2 pool tables, pinball and a separate room where there was a private birthday party. Didn't order food, so can't comment on that.“

“It is small, all the chairs are bar height and so are the tables. There was no place for us to sit in front of the band so we had to sit off to the side at the bar. Not really an issue for us but it was not very comfortable. It was quite Smoky and they left the doors closed. I believe it would have been better to leave the door open so some of the smoke could filter out. The owner was also the bartender and I like her a lot! If you are a smoker this would probably be a great place for you. If you don't mind sitting on bar height stools then this is the place for you. The bathrooms are extremely tiny after you get into the stall... So it's not big girlfriend friendly.
I just don't think this was the place for us but by the amount of people that were there it is definitely the place for a lot of other people!
I definitely think that you should go here at least once ?“

“wonderful experience with great customer service. i love connie 🖤“

“You guys rock! Thank you for everything you all did for us on Saturday!!💜 You all went above and beyond 💜 Top notch ladies 💜“

“If you are an average Joe: Robin who withstood manipulation previously, has been influenced by some delinquent, that said that I thought I was the "big man" and shared his complex at my expense without confrontation, and his female bartenders -except the tall one​- have demonic fantasies of me. Frankly I was not there to make friends and am surely not a New Ager.“

“The food and drinks are really good! Ask for a Bloody Mary or Cadillac Margarita. Joyce served me and I will be back! The service was great, and they were friendly with quick service. It’s laid back during the day, and a little more live at night. Very clean and cozy. This is my new favorite spot.“

“Clif for governor ……..“

“Great time, wonderful owner“

“Great environment! Great people“

“J McGraugh’s is hands-down one of my favorite spots, and it’s all thanks to the amazing team that makes every visit unforgettable! I have to give a huge shoutout to Sarah and Katie, the absolute rockstars behind the bar. They’re not just bartenders—they’re mixology geniuses with incredible personalities. Whether it’s a classic cocktail or something custom, they always get it perfect. Plus, their friendly, upbeat energy makes you feel like part of the family the moment you walk in.

And let’s not forget about Troy in the kitchen! The food here is next-level, and Troy deserves all the credit. Every dish is cooked to perfection, packed with flavor, and served piping hot. It’s the kind of food that keeps you coming back for more.

If you’re looking for great drinks, mouthwatering food, and a team that makes your night unforgettable, J McGraugh’s is the place to be. Huge thanks to Sarah, Katie, and Troy for making it such a special spot—I’ll definitely be back (probably sooner than I should)!“

“the bartenders are amazing and everyone is friendly“

“Coming in there was no one in here. To find they opened late today. Only had wings and fries. Ordered garlic Parmesan, sweet hot, and buffalo. Chicken cooked to perfection. Some of the selections were a little salty to me but overall the food is great and the staff is friendly. Will definitely make this a spot to visit in the future. You can rent out the whole place for a reasonable fee. Don’t sleep on this establishment. Did I mention it’s black owned.“

“The last honkey tonk in St. Louis.🥳“

“Great establishment, great food, great people, and great prices. Go and bowl The night away while Sipping cold cocktails to wash down whatever treat off the menu You chose. Can’t go wrong.“

“Great bar, great atmosphere, friendly staff! Great local bar and good drinks! I’ll be back!“

“Bunker's is a nice corner pub with a outdoor covered patio. The price of drinks was much lower than I anticipated, meant more to tip the bartender. Friendly patrons at least the few I met. They were open promptly at the listed hours. Only thing that was missing was music(no ambient music in the background).“

“Buen ambiente y excelente servicio“

“This is a great bar if you like friendly service! Amber was the best bartender I think I’ve ever met. She was always smiling and super fast with a refill. Good help like that is hard to find these days. She really makes the visits worth the drive for us.“

“I’ve been here twice. First time was for my bachelorette party. This boat was perfect! We were put up in the karaoke room right away and our server came up frequently to make sure we had enough drinks and everything was good. It was the perfect night! Then we went again yesterday for my birthday. The drinks were fantastic and there was plenty to keep us entertained while waiting for our turn in the karaoke room. The only flaw in the night was fixed right away by the amazing security staff and the manager! I would only suggest a better system for the karaoke waitlist. We were called for our room and went up only to be told by the waitress (who did not check the waitlist) that someone else had the room and even though they booked after us we needed to leave. I wish I had gotten the names of the security staff and manger because when we brought this issue to them they resolved it right away and we were able to enjoy some karaoke to end the night. Thank you to all the security staff and the manager (those 5 stars for you) for helping end our night on a good note! I will alway recommend this place to people and will gladly go here for any birthday in the future! ❤️ Also we did not eat here but we saw Nachos coming out that looked absolutely 🔥 and if the kitchen had still been open we would have ordered some!“

“Sunday open jam is the best when Meg is bartending!“

“Wonderful spot! The bar tender was super sweet and attentive, and the patrons were all very nice. Very clean and welcoming, but still maintaining the small town bar atmosphere we were looking for. We were made to feel at home from the beginning. If we are ever here again, we will be sure to stop by. :)“

“Absolute finest dining in all of the Midwest. The escargot is to die for. On Sundays they have a falafel bar that is out of this world. Completely unexpected, but they do have over 100 flavors of ice cream. I would highly recommend this establishment. But make sure you bring cash because they are cash only!“

“I was here the other night for my birthday! it is a fun, cozy atmosphere! Dustin the bartender was very friendly!“

“10/10 experience. Great prices, greater atmosphere, and even greater service. Treat everyone like they're a regular.“

“Jamie,Kelly and Kelsie are hands down the best behind the bar! Their energy is infectious, their drinks are top-notch, and their service is unbeatable. Kelly crafts perfect cocktails with skill, while Kelsie keeps the crowd engaged and the vibes high. They work seamlessly together, making every night at the bar an experience.

And let’s not forget Carol, the amazing owner who makes it all possible! She’s created a fantastic spot with a great atmosphere and top-tier staff. If Kelly and Kelsie are on shift, and Carol’s running the place, you’re in for an unforgettable night!“

“Tina's awesome! This cash only bar is ready to serve those dedicated souls from early in the am until the law says the day is done. The clientele are low-key fun and not judgemental... The crowd skewed younger than me tonight... Made me feel old. Still good fun!“

“Shoutout to my friends for taking me to fancy places. I’m not a member of the cigar bar in the Ritz Carlton in St. Louis, but I have a friend who is and wow, what a vibe. If you get the chance to check it out, absolutely do. The shrimp cocktail and octopus? Fantastic. And yes, we got the flatbread too — a little guilty pleasure moment. Just don’t show up in fur unless you want to go to the dry cleaners a few rounds.“

“Excellent service, food was delicious. I had the turkey club with pub chips. Delicious. My friends had the French onion soup, Mayfair salad, the chicken with brussel sprouts and roasted potatoes. I tasted the brussel sprouts. They were amazing!“

“My first time there yesterday to celebrate my brother's birthday and when I say we had a blast I truly enjoyed the atmosphere laid back and great for pool darts great drinks and the bartender Shay was a Doll we will be back and soon“

“Went to the Ritz last night for their New Years Celebration. My shoe strap broke when walking in and I didn’t know what to do. But the staff there saved the day. I’ve never experienced such amazing hospitality. They saw me struggling and came to my rescue. Shoutout to Kenna for helping me. She not only offered a solution, but she sat on the floor and took 10 minutes to fix my shoe herself. All of the staff are so amazing and kind. My shoe stayed on all night and I was able to fully enjoy their amazing party. Thank you guys again ❤️“
