“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pictured below is the Gonzo calzone- Salami, dates, spinach, garlic herb cheese, mozzarella, mascarpone-ricotta blend, and garlic oil with garlic butter on the side. My husband looked at me like I was crazy when I read off dates but the slight sweetness against all of that savory is what made it!! We also tried the Fatty B, Meat me in St Louie, Magic Carpet Ride, and the Gyro. They were all amazing but the Gonzo and the Gyro were my favorites. The Magic Carpet Ride is also a must try if you're into mushrooms.“

“A hidden Gem. Great folks always Absolutely the best drink prices“

“We had an amazing time at Joey’s today, mostly thanks to our bartender Abigail! She was so kind and patient with us which is greatly appreciated, especially considering she’s in the heat all day. Lovely lady, literally will ALWAYS choose the patio if she’s out there.“

“Vangel’s is the most exceptional meal out we have had in a long time. Soft music, soft lighting, great choices for drinks and hearty menu items make for a memorable night out. Louie the owner made us feel at home on our first, but not last visit to Vangels. Thank you for the hospitality and great experience all around. Tracy“

“We came in for a Father's Day gift. Met up with Stephen at the Bourbon and Brews festival hosted by the STL Bourbon Society and was interrsted in the bourbon tasting experience.

We came in on a Sunday and got to experience something so many bourbon enthusiasts rarely get to: tasting and then trying to blend your favorites together.

The first 1hr or so was spent sampling 20 different bourbons, wheats, ryes, and single malt /Barley. The staff was attentive and awesome to interact with. As we tasted our way through the bourbons we ordered the chacuturrie (sp?) Board. The meats and cheese came from a local store and all from MO, and were delicious. Personal favs were the jalepeno & honey cheddar and the cajun sausage.

The last 2 hrs was spent with Stephen and Zach, trying to get our blends to match what we wanted. A lot of trial and error but their knowledge on which whiskey inparted which flavor/heat/abv was impressive. 1st blend too earthy? Zach knew which bourbon was the culprit and how to adjust, and kept at it to get you the blend you wanted.

The end of this 5hr experience (we're on the slow side and took our time) was a bottle that was unique, an experience that left us thinking of when we could come back, and as a bourbon fan; a better understanding of how challenging it is to create a great blend.

For the price of $140/person we had a personalized tasting, a custom bottle ( we picked the name of our bottle), this is an experience everyone should try; especially if you're diving into the bourbon scene.

Thank you Barrel House for an amazing experience! And we hope to be back latter this year.“

“I absolutely LOVE the Orange Dreamsicle at Narwhals! It's my favorite guilty pleasure. If you remember orange pushpops - this drink will bring you right back to your childhood. I have tried several other favors and they are all delicious but the orange dreamsicle is the best.

I get Narwhals frequently and I have even had them cater an event. Having the drink machines at our family reunion was a huge hit. They made the experience so pleasant and easy - I highly recommend adding their service to your next event.

I go out of my way to get Narwhals and love it everytime. The employees are always so friendly and helpful with trying new flavors. I highly recommend giving them a try if you haven't.

And our kids love their smoothies. They have great non-alcholic options as well.“

“Stopped by for a chill night and was pleasantly surprised. The pizza was actually pretty decent—crispy crust, good flavor, and hit the spot. The pool tables were a nice bonus and kept things fun without feeling too crowded.
Big shoutout to Billy W. behind the bar—super friendly, quick with drinks, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely the kind of bartender that keeps you coming back.“

“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“

“Natalya T was our server, and did an excellent job . She was very friendly , and anticipated what we would need. Excellent!“

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

“Great pinball bar!! The selection of pinball games is excellent. Bartender was a little to boisterous, but still nice. We went on a Saturday night, it was dead... let me tell you why. Karaoke, and it was HORRIBLE. Not that having karaoke is horrible, it's the few people that were there that couldn't sing. You could tell it was a few regulars and that's what is keeping more people from coming. We left because it was so bad. Will definitely be back though when no karaoke is going on“

“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. :)“

“Our local Irish pub has become our go-to place for comfort, good food, and genuinely kind people. The owners go above and beyond, the staff treats you like old friends, and the food is always incredible. You can feel the heart in this place every time you walk through the door. Can’t recommend it enough!“

“Best Bar around..everyone's like family. All holidays are like a family get together. Prices are great. Pet friendly and always doing fun things, poker runs, trivia, karaoke, blues, chili cook offs and fund raisers, Nick is one of a kind owner.“

“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!“

“Everything!!!Great dinner, drinks and atmosphere! Bartenders are on point!“

“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!“

“I walked into a classy interior and sat at the bar. I was welcomed there by the owner and he made me feel like a king. I had some fine tequila and ordered the duck. Both were fantastic. The service was wonderful. One of the best duck breast dishes I ever had. Hats off to Westchester for a positive experience“

“Came here to see my friends show. Parking lot was pretty jammed, there’s an Irish pub? Right next door.
The exterior is pretty impressive walking up to it.
The inside, there’s an antiquated ATM if you’re attending a cash only show. And once you get inside inside. The vibe to me was like a basement or maybe a living room. Which I loved. Comfy, feel right at home. Very loud sound system. Bartender came and found us, like sought us out. Even though we didn’t want anything, props for that. Really good service.“

“Great food and staff! Very attentive“

“Best ruben, he has had in a long time. I ordered a dinner salad and it was big and excellent. Small building, even though it has 3 floors. We were there in late afternoon. And the atmosphere was nice. Only a few people in there. Service was good and fast.“

“Crafty always has tasty in house brews to try and fresh brick oven food I love that they are dog friendly and the staff are easy to talk to.

“My husband and I stopped in Saturday night. We are new to the area and someone referred us to check it out. We sat at the bar and the bartender's name was Ashley! She was so nice, gave us her favorites and recommendations. I tried the Elderberry Martini which was delish! My husband had the smoked Old Fashion. I love the great variety of the menu. And they offer a Gluten free menu. I wanted to try everything. We landed on the firecracker cauliflower appetizer which was amazing. For dinner we had the Cajun pasta and the Fish and chips. We will definitely be back for the great Happy Hour they offer during the week that Ashley went over with us too.“

“I belong to a group that is Dudes, Dining & Destinations, and we kind of ambushed this place, Mad Dog and Cats Steak today, sunday August 9th 2026. We had about 25/30 of us. The 2 waitresses we had, Mel B and Kara B were awesome. I had the French Onion Soup and Patty Melt and my friend had the side salad with a beef brisket sandwich. They both came out in a timely manner, was very tasteful and plentiful, even took left overs home even. If you find yourself out in st Charles area sometime , stop by and check them out. Cool little place.“
