50 Best Bars near Earth City

“I came to the area for business and ate here twice at the restaurant for lunch and happy hour. The restaurant was recently renovated and has a very cool modern look and feel. It was a really comfortable place to entertain my business guests for a quick and lunch and then again during early afternoon the next day for a huddle. The food was fresh and very tasty. There was classic fare and then some fun specials. I really liked the Firecracker Shrimp. There were also some good vegetarian options, a really nice stir fry and a stuffed Portabella dish. It wasn't too busy when I was there, everything came out pretty quick, less then ten minutes and warm and well presented. I noticed there were quite a few draft and craft beers on tap at the bar. I didn't get to try any this time, but there was some interesting beers I will try next time I am in town. I would definitely recommend for lunch, quick, tasty and good variety without spending too much. I will try dinner next time I come to town.“

“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.“

“Although it’s true that I was at the Rec Hall the reason that I was there was for the Zero Latency VR activity. Basically I got to be a marine fighting zombies on the holodec with 3D glasses. It was an absolute blast and I will definitely do it again.“

“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 🤣“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“This place is a hidden gem and absolutely great. Worth the trip to the strip mall. Bartenders are great. Beer selection and food options are also surprisingly awesome. Pinball and punk rawk for the win.

Parking: Bruh, it's in a strip mall

Kid-friendliness: Not a good spot for the kiddos

Wheelchair accessibility: You could pop a wheelie here. Wheelchair accessible“

“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.“

“Great pizza and friendly atmosphere!“

“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)!“

“I drive nearly 40 minutes and pass countless bars to specifically come to Nighshift! The drinks are fairly priced and the bartenders and patrons are very kind and welcoming. Thursday and Friday night Karaoke hosted by Mark and Stacy is THE PLACE TO BE! I refuse to do karaoke anywhere else! If you’re in the St. Peter’s area (or if you want to check out something different) definitely stop by for a great time!“

“Traveling from NW Indiana my wife and I stayed a couple nights here and made it to the bar for a couple night caps after our days of enjoying the town. Each evening Jennie K was our bartender and needless to say she’s AMAZING! Her drink knowledge and bubbly personality is a quality trait hard to find these days. She’ll dazzle you with her knowledge of Triple Sec! Highly recommend you stop in here if you’re in the area. We’ll definitely be back.“

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

“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.“

“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 ?“

“Great food and drinks. Good prices. Excellent servers. Great food and drinks. Good prices. Excellent servers.“

“I love their food. And iv always been treated very well. My babies love to come here and eat and so far iv not had anything I didn’t like off their menu.“

“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).“

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

“the bartenders are amazing and everyone is friendly“

“Awesome place for music and pinball!! Cliff and The staff do a great job of making the experience a regular spot to hangout!! Coolest of people, the best of the bands around with a hippie vibe ✨️“

“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.“

“My mom is hood friends with the owner. My dad who has passed from als, was always up there... I got on Tuesdays nights which is bingo Wednesday are darts my mom calls for bingo and helps with darts so needless to say I k own this bar. It's a cheers type place if u are known or a regular or a person of the street. They r professional. I love this bar as thr song goes if I dnt know an answer I can find out very quick like“

“Robin ALWAYS know what the people like🥰 good place, good people... depending on crowd = music choice“

“I love this bar! Great food! Been coming here forever“

“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.“

“We had already eaten when we got there. One of our friends showed up later and ordered a burger and fries. She split it with another friend who is a burger fanatic. They both enjoyed it as well as the fries. Drinks were fabulous. Our bartenders/waitresses were attentive and friendly. We were curious about the history of the Corner Bar and both of them were very knowledgeable about the history. They even had a binder that explains the history as well. For a dive, the place is clean, food & drinks were great. The only drawback is the cigarette smoke. However, we'll be back guaranteed.“

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

“We have been to this bar for years. It's very much a part of our lives. It's a small, unassuming place with a pool table, few games, and a jukebox. The narrow setup can make it feel crowded at times but most of the time it's comfortable. The people are friendly. The drinks are inexpensive. The vibe is always fun! Fyi they do allow smoking like a lot of bars in the area.“

“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’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!“

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

“good food nice place...and tv with sports“

“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!“

“Great bartender!!! Fun place!! Chelsea is awesome :)“

“Great environment! Great people“

“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. :)“

“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!“

“We're always looking for someplace new, and locally owned, to have a late lunch. We were nearby, so it came up on a Google search. The people, including the owner, were very nice and accommodating. We will probably go back, but it would be a sure thing if the smell of smoke wasn't so heavy, even though there were no smokers present. Once they opened the door, it was better, but they could use more ventilation. That being said, the food was awesome and very reasonably priced.“

“This was very very busy place. The food was very good. I ordered a vodka cran in a short glass- very pricey. Rail vodka shot $6, separate charge for the cranberry, $.50. some places do it that way. I'm Not a fan. Fun times, great place, nice people, busy. They don't need me to be a fan of how they manage their inventory. Imagine that. 🤪“

“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 ❤️“

“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“
