50 Best Cocktail Bars near Frontenac

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

“We went there with a large group. The atmosphere was great! Beautiful views and nice setup. Odd thing though, when we arrived early the waitress said we wouldn't get service until the start time. I understand maybe not having dedicated service but do you really want to not serve customers that are willing to drink? ?“

“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 ?“

“Awesome place!!! they make ANY type of drink, anyway you want it!!! Plus, the main bartender there is amazing!!! 💯“

“Always a fun place to go to have a relaxing time!!“

“Pretty nasty hole in the wall. Thank God it's shut down.“

“This little dive bar is so adorable. There were a couple of pups there which i loved. But im not sure if dogs are allowed so they might have been service dogs. The bartender was very nice and i even got "gonged" for being a first timer. It sucks they dont serve food. But the regulars there were very nice and welcoming. There is a touch tunes juke box available. Only down side is that there is smoking allowed inside. But i will definitely be back because it was a great experience.“

“friendly. neighborhood bar vibe. a place where you can drink and think or laugh and talk. oh, you can smoke in here! small stage for karaoke/live music. no darts or pool table but there is golden tee! smokers can be free here (they have a cig machine.) super friendly service. 5/5 will be coming back here for sure“

“I don’t understand why this place doesn’t have 5 stars across the board. The place is perfect! Presentation, flavor, service, all is perfect! We had a variety of different plates tonight. I have never had a disappointment with anything here. However, when asked what my favorite tastes were, I have to say the scallops, which was a special, or the shrimp scampi, (an hors d’oeuvre) were at a tie. Both perfectly cooked and the scampi with the sauce and the bread is incredible! We also had Mac n cheese, onion rings and fries as a side. Normally I don’t get these items, as I never would at another restaurant, but here, you know it’s going to be great with our next few meals! The halibut and the vodka past were also both perfect! I really don’t know how else I can describe it. We ended it with a Tavern Sundae as well as espresso. The sundae was again, something I would never order, (I’m not a dessert person) but it was served with chocolate, vanilla, strawberry ice cream, homemade whip cream, hot fudge and a variety of toppings. Sounds basic, but with multiple people, it was the perfect way to end meal! Drinks, cocktails are great and creative (or classic) and the wine list is a perfect pairing to any meal you have. Service is always a plus for me and every time I have been, they always deliver! Well done!!“

“Great drinks and atmosphere“

“We ate here for our 5th wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint! Our server was so knowledgeable and attentive, and the environment was perfect. They even brought us champagne and dessert to celebrate with! My husband got the steak and I got the ricotta gnocchi, both were excellent! As parents we don't get to go out to eat very often alone, and when we do we tend to stick to what we know. But I'm glad to say that Napoli 3 exceeded all of our expectations. We are already thinking about when we can go back and enjoy it again.“

“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.“

“Uniquely decorated inside, and it's beautiful. Outside patio is awesome, loved the music, We had amazing service as well♥️ and great food!“

“The atmosphere is amazing, and the flavor of the food was outstanding! My only complaint is there were too many yummy looking things to choose from, and I didn't have enough money to order the whole menu. 😭❤️😂“

“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!“

“So delicious! Every is just sooooo good. Take your time and try a bunch of stuff.“

“Enjoyed the food, wine , and atmosphere. We stopped for lunch today and we will sure to be back.“

“If you're on the fence about where to grab coffee or breakfast with a friend or colleague look no further than Ivy Cafe. The food and coffee is excellent, the service is top notch and its a nice calming atmosphere to foster great conversations. The owners are pretty cool too.“

“Fantastic as always! Probably the best burger in St. Louis. These 2oz smash burgers are seared to perfection.The Louie was a nice choice with sautéed peppers and onions. Next time I’d add a third party.Pro tip, there’s a gated parking lot but it’s free!“

“Always a friendly staff, always friendly customers… it is my new favorite bar thanks to the HUGE improvements the new owners have made!“

“We had our company holiday party here and they did an amazing job. the ambience was PERFECT, food was amazing, drinks were awesome and the staff was delightful. The evening was a huge hit with everyone, I'm certain many of us will be back for a dinner or group event, can't go wrong.“

“Very nice place, great staff.“

“What a wonderful end to our day. fast friendly clean and the food was AMAZING... not to mention the drinks, stout and made right. 10/10 Love this spot.“

“Amazing food! Great service.“

“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 drove down to the Boind’ry last night ( June 10, 2022 ) for drinks and dinner and a great time because it’s not only an after work businessman v bar but a mix of wealthy and not so wealthy clientele and sadly it was closed with 4 or 5 guys sitting in the bar talking who I am assuming we’re the owners.Come on guys do NOT shut Boundry down forever because I can tell you better that anyone what made your restaurant / bar the “it spot” for so many years and standing room only most nights in the bar….it was the super cool bartenders like Bruce doing magic tricks and all the other cool bartenders and attractive wait staff that poured great drinks and bartenders were all very entertaining!A bartender can either make or break a bar environment!Any problems of lost customers can be directly attributed to losing colorful charismatic bartenders so hire some great bartenders and open again and word will spread like wildfire and the line of crowds will be down the block again waiting to get in!Some restaurants have free hors d’oeuvres or shrimp or taco bar but none of that matters! What does matter is your bartenders!Years ago at TGI Friday on Ellison Place they had the best bartenders in town doing juggling tricks with bottles the bartenders nickname was Psycho! LolWonderful memories … same for Boundry!So stop obsessing over the menu and get the best bartenders and friendliest and funny and attractive bartenders possible and the Biundry will be the now “it spot” again for another 20 years!“

“This place is no longer a bar. AAA Tripe is using this location until her new location is ready for business

Vegetarian options: No specific veggies for sale.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it is wheelchair accessible“

“Exceptional food and Antonio Bartender!“

“Stopped for breakfast after a 5 hr drive. Good food and service!“

“Mac's was fast, friendly, the menu is easy to read and the service was very fast and friendly! The food was delicious and the environment is like a bar but also like a family restaurant and it's really family friendly. My wife and I enjoyed our first visit and we will definitely be back!“

“Salmon bites, sweet potatoes and Mac and cheese ARE TO DIE FOR!! So delicious !! Patiently waiting on them to open right now !!“

“First time visiting this place last night with friends and everything was 10/10! Atmosphere, service, food, and drinks were all perfect. Can’t wait to visit again next time I’m in town.“

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

“Great bar, great staff. Unfortunately, the burger wasn't great but the atmosphere of the place, the staff and everything was awesome. The jukebox is amazing when it's not on auto play. If I'm ever in the area again , which I doubt, I would definitely go again. Brilliant place, and thank you for the hospitality and making a random English dude feel comfortable.“

“Love this place, the service and food is amazing!“

“It was wonderful!!! Food, atmosphere, EVERYTHING!❤️“

“One of my favorite places for lunch. The Kirkwood location has a really fun arcade room sure to make any gathering for any ages unique and interesting. The street corn, margaritas, empanadas and three piggies burrito are my favorites!“

“We had my niece’s 25th birthday here and I was a fabulous party. We asked for Becky to serve us which she always does with exuberant smiles and attention. Matt, Satchmo’s owner, was here and mingled with us like any bar/restaurant should. As a chef, this tells me volumes of how he runs his establishment. I religiously order the pork green chili(which is phenomenal) and the fish and chips were to die for, exactly how I like it. This place is the quintessential neighborhood bar!“

“Best meal I've had in St. Louis restaurant in a very long time. Had the French dip with arugula salad topped with pistachios and goat cheese. Server was helpful and attentive. Elegant, relaxed Atmosphere. I will definitely tell my friends and be back next time. I'm in St. Louis.“

“I loved it! This past Saturday was my 1st time going. The service was wonderful!!! The atmosphere was relaxing and fun.....good music, good smoking on the patio,...but the only thing was my food (Fried Shrimp Basket) was extremely salty....I didn't want to complain since I waited so long after I ordered, so I just ate them....but they were not good.

When our waitress came over I did inform her about the taste of the Shrimp and why I didn't say anything earlier on.....and she was kind enough to offer me a comp for the Shrimp. Also I got a Margarita and my friend got a Tequila Sunrise. The drinks were a bit too juicy & sweet and we couldn't hardly taste any alcohol in them. However, we didn't complain...we drank them.

After we paid for food and cashed out...we went outside on the patio and vibed out the rest of time we were there.

I will return again because I enjoyed myself and I'm also willing to give the food and drinks another try as well. Hopefully my next visit....will be an even better experience ????“

“Went to Madrina for our Anniversary (after the crazy storms that rolled through)! We had the best service and food. Thank you for making our night of celebrating our 18 wedding anniversary so special!“

“When I walked in, I realized the place was packed, but we were hoping the wait wasn't too long, they quoted 45 minutes, which was a little too long for us. There was 5 of us and we decided to sit at the bar. And I'm sure glad we did. We had a bartender, I forgot her name, but she had purple hair, she was the absolute best. Not only did she make amazing drinks, she made sure our food came out right and hot. She also entertained us the whole time we were there, by engaging in conversations. You don't see that very much these days. If there was a word better than perfect, that's how I would describe it. I'll definitely be sitting at the bar more often.“

“Lovvvvvve the sushi here!! Dining experience is a total vibe!“

“We visited yesterday for the first time… from the service to the food, everything was exceptional! Our waitress was the best!“

“An FYI for St Louis area friends. We had brunch at Eclipse (Moonrise Hotel) and the food prep was excellent! It's a shame that we were the first people they had today; they opened at 9am and we arrived at noon. 😬 Give them a try!“
