50 Best Cocktail Bars near Sappington

“I've had a fantastic time here! The owners, bar staff, and everyone who comes in create such a warm and friendly atmosphere. It's always a wonderful experience, time after time!“

“Cocktails. Food. Service. Music. Vibe. Everything was top tier. Had a lovely time and we will be back again. We made a reservation on Google, it was simple and we got sat right away. Can’t wait to go back!“

“If you’re looking for an experience—not just a drink—run, don’t walk to Vandy Cocktail Bar.

We were gifted tickets to one of their cocktail classes, and I can honestly say it was the best 90 minutes we’ve spent in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the energy was warm, welcoming, and just the right amount of elevated without ever feeling pretentious.

The class itself? Next level.

We tasted eight different vermouths (yes, eight—each with its own personality), explored three amaros that completely changed how I think about flavor and balance, and then rolled up our sleeves to craft two cocktails that felt both approachable and elevated. It wasn’t just a class—it was a journey through flavor, history, and technique.

And then there’s Patrick.

Simply put—he’s phenomenal. Incredibly knowledgeable, engaging without being overwhelming, and clearly passionate about what he does. He has that rare ability to make everyone feel like an insider, whether you’re a cocktail novice or a seasoned enthusiast. You don’t just learn—you get it.

What stood out most was how effortlessly the whole experience flowed. It was educational, interactive, and just plain fun. You leave not only with new skills, but with a deeper appreciation for what’s in your glass.

This wasn’t just a class—it was a memory.

We’ll be back. And next time, we’re bringing friends.“

“It was a great time out with family and friends for a birthday celebration! We booked a booth area ahead of our visit with a dart board that had a variety of dart games to play. I had drinks and an appetizer. The drinks and food were delightful! We had so much fun playing the non-traditional dart games!“

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

“Silk Road Lounge was really great. The Golden Monkey was the best drink I've had in a very long time. My partner thoroughly enjoyed his as well. Phenomenal balance, vibe was on point, jams were great, and we enjoyed our time. We will stop back thru whenever we visit STL.“

“The food is top tier for me, the environment, the , vibe, the music. it's like one big family reunion everytime we meet.I love Janey she a young black queen with a beautiful soul“

“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“

“NBC was a really nice place to go and hang out and socialize. It was pretty crowded but the people it was crowded with was pretty cool and laid-back. The drinks was good they weren't to water down and the prices were Fair. My overall experience at NBC was great.“

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

“This place was AMAZING!! The food was so thoughtfully creative and prepared with obvious talent and love. We enjoyed meeting owner brothers and hearing their story of bringing their Yucatan culture and roots to the St. Louis food scene. Everything we tried was beyond delicious. This is a must-try for authentic Mexican food inspired by the Yucatan region.“

“Remarkable Defined: “Something so striking it makes you want to discuss or remark upon it.” This is Wright’s Tavern’s undercurrent. You feel the need - the obligation even - to touch on every aspect, each component, of this memorable dining experience.

We started with cocktails - sazerac was the crowd pleaser, and conversation starter for the evening. Tried to order one of these in Australia once...

For starters we took advantage of the scallop special and the crab cake - a menu mainstay. What is great about the special is they allow you to scale. Need another scallop? Two? No problem. Both superb and table was split as to which was the better. I leaned to the crabcake, as the scallop, while beautifully crusted, was just cooked enough to require a knife while I would have liked it fork-tender.

For the entrees we ordered the 20oz ribeye but substituted the offered side (mashed) for the dauphinoise potatoes. Astounding. The steak was perfectly cooked, and the dauphinoise may well haunt my dreams. As a steak purist, I was skeptical of their use of sauces and gravies but the mustard jus served with the ribeye is expertly paired. It needs to be noted they consider all the sides that come with their steaks interchangeable, and substitutes are welcomed and all sauces can be served on the side as well. Other entrees were the potato crusted halibut and the steak frites. Both beautifully presented and very enjoyable.

For dessert we ordered the cheesecake and the crème brûlée, the latter was silkier and smoother than what you may find elsewhere while the former was determined by all at the table to be their favorite. Recommend both without hesitation. 5/5

The service IS truly remarkable and I think what separates this venture from its peers. Professional, staid, but in an approachable fluid manner that effortlessly flows throughout the room while being omniscient without omnipresence. It is, however, ever obvious they hope to not have you linger, as after 2 hours our check was presented without request. I didn’t love that, but understand the logistical need. 5/5

Lastly, as noted by others the space is constricted. My neighbor behind me and I had a mini jousting match with our chairs. Even the short walk to your table over uneven floor should be done gingerly as you make your way to your smallish chair. 3/5“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. The atmosphere was excellent and staff was attentive. Full disclosure, I was here for an event involving work and everything was delicious, including the drinks. I can't give a complete recommendation as I did not try any food off the menu. However, I will say that the food that was provided for the group was phenomenal!“

“🔥 One Stop. All Flavor. Pierce Creek Delivers 🔥 If you’re looking for a true one-stop shop with incredible quality, Pierce Creek absolutely delivers. This place is so much more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience. You’ve got a butcher shop, bakery, deli, soup starters, a bar, and a full restaurant all in one location. It’s the kind of place you can pop into for one thing and leave with five. What really sets them apart is their beef—raised on the owners’ ranch, completely grass-fed with no hormones or steroids. And trust me, you can taste the difference. The atmosphere is spotless, welcoming, and thoughtfully done. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and our food came out hot, fresh, and amazingly quick. Whether you’re in the mood for something casual or a more elevated dining experience, their menu has you covered. I had the mushroom and Swiss double smash burger on a potato bun, and wow—it was packed with flavor. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and everything just worked together beautifully. I paired it with a side of tallow fries that were perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and full of rich flavor. This is definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to again and again.“

“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!“

“Fabulous food. So glad they have re-opened“

“This place is so, so cool. My cousin took me out for dinner and I had never even heard of this spot. Wow, it’s such a beautiful and moody spot full of charm!! We had to wait 15 minutes for a booth but I didn’t mind because this place serves LOOKS. The decor was awesome! Everything from the stellar service, crispy and lacey smash burgers and gorgeous dining room(s) made me realize why this spot is always recommended to me. We were very happy with our food and it was under $50 for two people! Check out Golden Hoosier, you won’t regret it.“

“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! ✨💃🏼“

“Bar PM doesnt have food but they make up for it in good vibes!
I truly enjoy the lgbtq+/ all-inclusive atmosphere they provide. The music is always top notch, the staff is extremely friendly and quick to serve! They also have a super cute patio and open-air garage area, giving patrons a variety of areas to hang, dance or socialize. They also host some really unique, fun and exciting events that Ive thoroughly enjoyed attending or vending with my business. This Bar is definitely a hidden GEM in St. Louis!“

“Really appreciate Patrick and his team who provide excellent food and service. Try out the specials- they are named ‘special’ for a reason. Goat cheese and pita appetizer is a must. Really good Bread Pudding to top it off.“

“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!“

“Wow this place was amazing, I cannot wait to go back next time I’m in town!!! The menu was a unique take on brunch familiar brunch items. Everything sounded so good it was tough to decide what to get. We all got different meals to share and all of it was delicious! And pretty big portions, oh it was SO good. I had a medicinal mushroom coffee tasted great and had me feeling great all day.“

“Great place to hang with and meet new friends. Owners are great!!“

“My wife and I went to Nixta last light for her birthday. We cannot say enough rave reviews! The atmosphere was romantic, chic and cozy. The food was EXCELLENT considering that I normally do not like Mexican food. The fish tacos and chicken tacos were superb. The tortilla chips were so good and the flan was the topping to a great night.“

“Stopped by today 1st time. Staff very hospitable. Ordered the mac and cheese dog. it was just ok. The only thing really good on it was the bacon. Mac and cheese tasted and looked like it came from a box. The pretzel bun was dried out in spots. wasnt impressed at all for a 12 plus dollar hot dog. Been better off going to QT and getting one of their dogs.“

“Wonderful place, never had a bad meal ever.“

“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“

“The Maryland House is a wonderful venue! My husband and I hosted a rehearsal dinner and a welcome party for our son’s wedding weekend. We were coming from out of state and we had never seen the venue. But Jade sent us pictures and videos of the terrace and the rooms so we could get a visual. She was the best! She was communicative, responsive, and so helpful! Our guests raved about the food all night! The drink package we selected had six signature cocktails and everyone loved them! The bartenders, Brendan and Delaney, were friendly and efficient! Our guests did not have to wait to be served at all. Eric, the manager, made sure everything went smoothly all night! The terrace was a beautiful spot for our party! If you are looking for a venue, call Jade at The Maryland House!“

“Very nice place, great staff.“
