50 Best Bars in St. Louis

“The espresso martini flight is AH-mazing!“

“Great drinks. Sting so worth the price“

“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“

“I really enjoyed my afternoon/evening here. It's grungy, painted black, inside and outside bars, tables on the patio and bar stools at the bar inside. There are so many video games that I used to play. Basketball and skee ball and tabletop games. The only downside was not having a barstool to sit on while playing games.“

“Great atmosphere before any sports event!“

“a great place for friends to game, professional team building, you name it. loved it there. the art deco interior is beautiful.“

“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.“

“Simple. Check this place out if you want good food. Every dish can be vegan friendly. Just ask.“

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 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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

Never a dull moment at the grizzly bear.“

“If you are an average Joe: Robin who withstood manipulation previously, has been influenced by some delinquent, that said that I thought I was the "big man" and shared his complex at my expense without confrontation, and his female bartenders -except the tall one​- have demonic fantasies of me. Frankly I was not there to make friends and am surely not a New Ager.“

“Having Jessica there is going to be great thing just hate she not there on the days I am off🤣😂🤣“

“We had an amazing experience at Felix Pizza! The service was outstanding—the owner was incredibly welcoming and the waitress was phenomenal.
