50 Best Bars in St. Louis

“Great drinks. Sting so worth the price“

“The espresso martini flight is AH-mazing!“

“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.“

“We went tonight to celebrate a birthday. Food was amazing and the staff were very friendly. The owner spoke to us a couple of time’s. Looking forward to going back.“

“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.“

“This is without a doubt the best food in St. Louis. The value you get for your money is unparalleled as they hand prep everything. No short cuts! The staff is very friendly. The location is fun because it's a pinball bar so you can play pinball or get drinks while you wait. The food comes fast. They always have vegan variants on everything so it's a great spot to go for carnivores, omnivores, and all the veggiesauruses out there. The jukebox is all punk rock. I cannot recommend this place enough. Definitely try everything on the menu but the specials are always the best thing there. My fav specials are anything with Tteokbokki, Garlic Chillicrisp Mandu, and Kimchi Pancakes. Last night I ate a "Korean Crunchwrap" and each bite felt like God telling me I was his most cherished creation. I told my friend about this place a few years back for a first date recommendation and now he's engaged. Coincidence? Definitely eat here!“

“Had some excellent beer and the atmosphere was great!!!“

“Found this place through Pub Pass and glad we did! Food and service very good. Originally opened in late 1800s and is still owned by the Beffa family, which I find very cool. And it’s nice that you can make a reservation.“

“First visit in at least 5 years and if anything, it has only improved. It has always been my favorite venue in STL. I love that the entire space is all ages if it's an all ages show now! Great experience bringing my 10 year old to see the Aquabats for her first concert.“

“Great atmosphere and service. They have a limited but diverse beer and beverage selection. The cocktails are made with attention. And if you're hungry (or even if you aren't), the food is not too be missed. Creative top notch selection of bay snacks and sandwiches. It's very laid back with live music almost every night and lots of recreational fun - pool, darts, games, etc. And then they also have a comfortable outdoor patio in the back, where you can bring your dog.“

“As a person with Celiac visiting your town I felt so welcome and safe- and it was a huge treat to eat an entire plate of yummy fried goodness that was safely prepared for someone like me. But the awesomeness didn’t stop there- the friendly bartender shared more Celiac safe local hotspots with us as well!“

“This is an excellent spot. Craft beer lovers should check it out.“

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!“

“Amazing owners and staff, with a really well curated shop!“

“Over the past three years I have frequented this bar, and I have to say it’s one of the hidden gems of our city. Stan’s is a slice of south city and has cemented itself as an iconic establishment. No two nights are the same, but you feel at home when you walk through the door. Love this place. The staff are top shelf.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Whether you partake in social drinks, or only choose to be served a NA beverage, you should ABSOLUTELY drop in and enjoy this fabulous establishment!

Good vibes, great prices, and even greater types of folks who put on nothing but a warm welcome and hospitable environment for any and all who may be searching for such things!

“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.“

“All around great evening. Beers world class and food was excellent.“

“I like this place because the drinks are always mixed really good...good music always playing plus 8th inning offers alot of different games to play while your there..keeno..pool... pinball...and they have keroke every Friday. The owner of this place has a nice establishment and has done a great job at making you feel at home while your there. Love this place!!!“

“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!!“

“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“

“Was a very chill dive bar. Was a bit disappointed that they weren’t playing the piano but nonetheless, had great service and everyone was friendly“

“Great staff !! Lots of fun games and just a down home atmosphere!“

“Zack is A great bartender. I highly recommend this place“

“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.“

“Wonderful back patio to hear music. Very casual. Bring your lawn chair. Many patrons had food delivered ti the patio while the band played. Alcohol & non-alcoholic drinks available for purchase at the bar. All patrons in attendance were over 21.“
