50 Best Bars in St. Louis

“Food was excellent, service was great! Our bartender was awesome!“

“A cool little dive bar with pinball machines. On a Sunday night they seem to have some league whereby people play them all night so normal patrons can’t use them. It’s a pretty cool place though, and if you can find a night where you can play pinball or just listen to the jukebox, I’d definitely recommend it. Tiny chef is excellent also and they sell food at a window inside the bar.“

“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“

“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.“

“Cozy and fun. A place to share with friends.“

“I love this bar. The Crack fox is one of those hidden gems that every town needs. This bar has space for everyone. There's a quiet corner, a cool vibe, a craft cocktail, a bright patio, and if your not feeling the bar scene go next door to Oddities where you can find a calm inviting atmosphere that supports local crafters.

The crack fox has been there for the best of times. Ive met my best friends there and fallen in love on the dance floor.

They've been there for my worst of times. Crying in the bathroom stall.

If you are looking for a place to go where you can express yourself and show off your every weird crazy normal human emotion.“

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.“

“Had a great time Saturday at The Off Track Saloon 💥 Awesome decorations and Awesome outside area! 💚 The hog roast was great and the patrons were extremely friendly and cool! ☮️ We hope to return soon! 😉“

“Stew's has become our regular date night spot once a week. We look forward to the salmon, the mushrooms, the fried rice and for now the tuna - hoping for a return of the scallop ceviche! We love the inside even when it can be a little bit loud and we love the outside (our preference) in good weather. Service is always top level and attentive and I love to get my Blanton's old-fashioned made here. Occasionally the wait can be long but for us it's always been worth it even when it's been 30° outside! You can consider us die hard fans. High quality food with high-quality service in a fun neighborhood location. Check out the decor in the bathroom.“

“Awesome place, great beer selection, knowledgeable staff, and wonderful location..🍀🍀🍀🍀“

I definitely know you won’t be disappointed!“

“Great little place with a great atmosphere.“

“The drinks are so delicious, I had a large bomb pop, You can definitely taste the liquor“

“I love that there's a total dive bar in uptight, old money Clayton. Staff is down to earth, the patrons don't get too drunk. Drinks are reasonably priced. If you're in Clayton and want a drink without worrying about who is listening to your conversation, this is the place to go.“

“If you are into EDM better and safer than Washington Ave. Remodeled decor is awesome, staff know their stuff. Only complaint is very long bar but only four bar stools“

“My family and I have been going here weekly for years. The staff is awesome and kind. The selection of beer and Liqour is amazing and the food is delicious.“

“I’ve been coming to grizzly bear for years with friends and family. I love the atmosphere inside and outside. The historical building is absolutely gorgeous. Marie was mine and my sisters bartender and she was so sweet and attentive. Absolutely love her! 10/10 definitely recommend. The wings are delicious and I love playing darts in the front room. Never a dull moment at the grizzly bear.“

“When I say this place is a vibe.... baby it hits every time. Very very hard to get a waitress or a drink from the bar...I had to wait until others were at the table with me, as I didn't want to lose the table. I sat for over an hour watching all these other people get served... food it outstanding tho!!“

“My second visit and Julie & Steve were awesome….had drinks ready for us with a smile and took great care of us while there, I would highly recommend for a Friday night fun outing, Fun Bar!!“

“I knew the owners of this place. Rose and Tony. My grandma took me down there when I was two. She ran a run down apt complex right next to there. I can’t believe it is still there. Rose and Tony would come to my house for holidays. I will be visiting there soon. It was a nice little dive bar the last time I was there. I worked at the west and cafe. I think rose and Tony were still alive at that point. Like 30 years ago. Love them and I loved this little bar.“

“Easily one of the top restaurants to try in STL. The dishes were well executed and the service timed everything perfectly. I would love to see the chef have a bit more creative license and split a some more from the upscale American tradition. Also... may need some more acoustic treatment for the space. But overall, it was a fun experience.“

“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!“

“Myself and two friends came in for a concert. Natasha was a phenomenal bartender...great cocktails and even better personality. The homemade salsa and potato boats were to die for. A must visit.“
